According to Eisen, it is highly improbable for any team to present Lamar Jackson with an offer sheet prior to the upcoming NFL draft, which is a mere 15 days away. He goes on to elaborate that if the Texans, who possess the second overall pick in the draft, opt not to select a quarterback, then the Colts may have an opportunity to draft a top quarterback prospect with their fourth overall pick, without having to engage in a trade and relinquish additional draft picks.

Meanwhile, the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Shane Steichen, was asked about Lamar Jackson. He responded that he is currently focused on the upcoming NFL draft and the players who are currently available.

“Yeah, we’re focused on the draft, and I’m going to focus on guys that are in the building right now,” Steichen said.

Ian Rapoport’s report and Colts’ draft strategy

According to Ian Rapoport at the NFL Network, Lamar Jackson is expected to return to the Ravens. Teams may not have signed him to an offer sheet before because they believed the Ravens would match any offer. The recent addition of $18,000,000 WR Odell Beckham Jr. to the Ravens’ roster further supports the belief that Lamar will stay.

The Colts, who have the fourth overall pick in the draft, could potentially select Anthony Richardson, CJ Stroud, or Bryce Young if the Texans do not choose a quarterback with the second overall pick. This would be a dream scenario for the Colts, as it would not require them to trade up and give up additional draft capital.
