If Lamar Jackson brings the Patriots back into the spotlight, it’s worth whatever it takes

COMMENTARY

There are two ways I can see a potential marriage between Lamar Jackson and the New England Patriots working.

On one hand, perhaps the former MVP quarterback is the answer for the future in New England; a dynamic athlete who would cement the Patriots as a global phenomenon and Super Bowl contenders for years to come.

The other scenario is Carl Crawford.

I’m rooting for the former. Frankly, I’ll take either. Anything, really, to resurrect the gasping relevancy of this offseason.

Jackson announced Monday morning that he had requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens after failing to come to a long-term extension with a team that once gave Joe Flacco $120 million.
