Many NFL teams should be in the market for a player like Lamar Jackson.
Since the Baltimore Ravens chose to use the non-exclusive franchise tag on him, he is free to negotiate with other teams.
But, if Jackson is going to be playing elsewhere in 2023, it seems likely the Ravens would have to agree to a trade.
One team that should be all-in on acquiring Jackson is the Indianapolis Colts.
They have been looking for a franchise quarterback ever since Andrew Luck retired and have been unsuccessful.
Indianapolis should use the fourth overall pick in this upcoming draft to try and land Jackson.
According to FanDuel, there is a mock trade that could potentially make Jackson a Colt.

While two first-round picks may be a lot to give up for any player, Jackson is worth it.
He is a former league MVP that is still in the prime of his career.
Jackson will be 26 years old all of next season.
He can make the Colts immediate contenders in the AFC and his skill set fits the Colts perfectly.
Indianapolis is a run-first team led by Jonathan Taylor.
Having Taylor and Jackson in the same backfield would cause problems for opposing defenses.
Also, Shane Steichen is the new Colts head coach and he has experience with running quarterbacks.
He helped Jalen Hurts have a career year last season.
Jackson and the Colts are a match made in heaven.
All the pressure is on the Colts now to make this a reality.
