Speculation around Lamar Jackson’s future has sparked fresh debate, with some NFL executives floating the idea that the Baltimore Ravens could consider a blockbuster trade involving the Las Vegas Raiders. The discussion centers on whether the Raiders should commit to a full rebuild using a high draft pick or push their chips in for a proven superstar quarterback.
On The Odd Couple, Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington broke down both philosophies. Washington argued the Raiders are more than a quarterback away from contention, making a rebuild through the draft the more responsible path given roster holes and long-term sustainability. Parker countered that players like Lamar Jackson do not become available often, and he'd be shocked if Baltimore made this trade. He emphasized Jackson’s MVP résumé and franchise-altering ability, arguing the Raiders should acquire elite talent first and build around it.
