The quarterback's contract includes a provision that states the team cannot designate him with a franchise or transition tag (again) once the deal expires after the 2027 season. That means Baltimore doesn't have much of a safety net if it fails to reach an extension with Jackson, who represents himself, and he could walk in free agency in 2028 with no return for the team.

Jackson's no-tag clause means Ravens risk losing him for nothing in 2028 free agency.

Jackson's contract includes a provision that prevents the Ravens from designating him with a franchise or transition tag once his deal expires after the 2027 season. This means Baltimore has no safety net if it fails to reach an extension with Jackson, who represents himself, and he could walk in free agency in 2028 with no return for the team. A trade would allow the Ravens to acquire a significant haul of picks (multiple first-round picks expected) for the two-time MVP before he turns 30 in January.
