It has been nearly two weeks since the Baltimore Ravens placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson, still no team has been linked to talks with the 2019 NFL MVP.
The San Francisco 49ers should be inquiring what it would take to bring Jackson to the Bay Area.
It has been nearly 25 years since the 49ers had an MVP caliber quarterback leading their team. The time since the organization last hoisted the Lombardi Trophy has been even longer.
A franchise quarterback has been the one missing ingredient for the 49ers since the 20 year run of Joe Montana and Steve Young ended on a Monday night in Arizona.
