Lastly, if the Ravens felt they could win with Fields instead of a former league MVP, why wouldn't the Bears? They'd just have less cap space to work with.Īnd what about Jackson's injury and ability to stay healthy? That's a concern. That problem isn't going away with Jackson coming in. And if they paid Lamar Jackson a massive deal, they'd have less money to add talent around him and on defense. Surely the Bears would also like a quarterback on a rookie deal. Or that they could find in free agency, like Jimmy Garoppolo. And for Baltimore a better deal than anything other teams looking for quarterbacks, like the Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks, could offer. Wright notes that by trading Fields for Jackson, their quarterback position is still solved and the Bears still would maintain the option of flipping that pick for more picks or talent.Īnd that is ultimately why Wright believes this is a win-win deal for Chicago and Ravens.
