The Lamar Jackson saga has been one of the big storylines of the NFL offseason.

The Baltimore Ravens decided to give him the non-exclusive franchise tag, which gives Jackson the ability to negotiate with any other team in the league.

But, so far through free agency, it seems like no teams have presented Jackson with an offer.

This is one of the strangest things we have seen in a long time.

Jackson is a former MVP quarterback, who is still only 26 years old.

There should be about 20 teams interested in a player like that.

One team in particular that should be interested is the New England Patriots.

They had a 20-year dynasty while Tom Brady was quarterback, but have not won a playoff game since he left.

For some reason, the Patriots are deciding to stick with Mac Jones.

According to Jeff Howe, the Patriots have no plans to pursue the former MVP.

Players like Jackson are rarely available in the NFL, so many teams are missing a big opportunity here.

One reason the Patriots and other teams do not want Jackson is his contract demands.

Jackson is looking for a fully-guaranteed deal in the same realm as the deal Deshaun Watson received.

Also, Jackson has only played in 12 games in each of the last two seasons.

His durability is a concern, and his play style leaves many wondering how long he can last in the league.

But, Jackson has shown to be one of the elite players at the most important position.

Any team that is not convinced they have their franchise quarterback should be making a play for Jackson.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
