Initially, the sad drama between the team and Jackson ended up stalling into a tedious stalemate.  However, the sad matter of fact is that the Ravens organization might just be done with Jackson. While there had been mild inklings of this recently, no one took it seriously. However, after Jackson’s Twitter announcement, it is confirmed that he’ll be parting ways with the Ravens. However, where will the double-threat talent go now?

However, the Ravens weren’t ready to match the deal that Jackson demanded. Therefore, Jackson bid adieu to the Ravens with a message on Twitter and currently might be looking for other landing spots. Furthermore, on the Rich Eichen Show, Eichen spoke about the most probable landing spot for the quarterback. He mentioned that with the way the league is right now, there is one team that is the most probable for Jackson.

While on the show, Eichen mentioned that Jackson’s biggest possible landing spot will be in the NFC South. On his show, he said, “The Atlanta Falcons are a freaking perfect spot.” He spoke about the fact that while the Falcons were initially uninterested, they might be back in the running for Jackson. One of the main reasons they weren’t able to pursue him is due to the fact that they had a problem with their salary cap.
