After long 18 months of negotiations, the Ravens and Jackson still have not created a common ground for a long-term contract for the 2019 MVP. The team had placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the player, allowing him to negotiate with other interested teams. But franchises have stepped back from negotiation with the QB for a possible offer sheet.
In the midst of the cloud of uncertainty looming over Jackson, he recently took to social media to share a cryptic message with his fans.

NFL insider Rich Eisen feels that the Indianapolis Colts are one of the top prospects where the 2019 MVP QB could be heading for the 2023 season. The Colts have a fourth overall pick in the draft, so the question that remains is whether HC Shane Steichen is willing to take the risk by considering the possibility of acquiring Jackson.
Furthermore, reports suggest that Jackson might stay with the Ravens, considering that the franchise signs two players in which he has a keen interest. One is Odell Beckham Jr, who the Ravens have already signed a one-year deal worth up to $18 million. The other player is WR DeAndre Hopkins of the Arizona Cardinals. Jackson said that if these two players join the Ravens, then he will have a talk about being on the team.4
