The NFL off-season has begun, and the Baltimore Ravens QB, Lamar Jackson, is one of the hottest free agents in the market. The 2019 unanimous league MVP has been the Ravens' No. 1 since he was drafted in 2018, but he has seen better times in Baltimore. Jackson and the Ravens have been constantly at odds since the start of the 2022 NFL season, and they might be heading for a timely separation.

So, what are the top landing spots for Jackson this offseason if he eventually leaves the Ravens? Keep reading as we weigh the possibilities of the former LSU Tiger moving to a new NFL franchise.

Three landing spots for Lamar Jackson in NFL free agency

3. Las Vegas Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders are a franchise that looks like they are one elite QB away from competing for the Super Bowl, and apparently, Derek Carr wasn't the one for them. The Raiders are finalizing a messy divorce from their longtime franchise QB, Carr, and will need a replacement at center.

Lamar Jackson is a significantly better quarterback than Carr and someone who might love to play in the illustrious city of Las Vegas. Moreover, in Las Vegas, Jackson will get premium offensive weapons like Darren Waller, Davante Adams, and possibly Josh Jacobs.

That's an improvement over the offensive talent in Baltimore, and it would make the Raiders an instant Super Bowl contender.

2. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons haven't had an elite quarterback in a minute, it has been ages since prime Matt Ryan was tearing it up in Atlanta. However, nothing has changed since that Super Bowl meltdown against the New England Patriots. The Falcons currently have Marcus Mariota as their best option at QB, and Jackson will represent a marked improvement.

Furthermore, the Falcons have a winning culture in which Jackson would thrive. The Atlanta Falcons fans would love to have a good dual-threat QB, sans Michael Vick. Lamar Jackson could be Vick's new and improved version, and he has league MVP experience to boot.

1. New York Jets

The New York Jets have been linked with every above-average quarterback this offseason, as it is clear that they have moved on from the Zach Wilson experiment. Wilson might have been a high draft pick in 2021, but his college form has yet to translate to dominance in the NFL.

As such, the New York Jets would love to have Lamar Jackson calling the shots in NY, and their front office hasn't hidden their intentions.

The Jets have a young, dynamic team that shows grit and grind. When did you see a team have both the offensive and defensive rookie of the year in one calendar year? Lamar Jackson is a significant upgrade to Mike White, Zach Wilson, and Joe Flacco. Getting the Baltimore icon would make the Jets instant Super Bowl contenders.
