Ravens reportedly interested in trading for veteran quarterback

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsThe Baltimore Ravens’ season took a devastating turn on Sunday, when star quarterback Lamar Jackson injured his throwing thumb on the first play of a 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Now, with backup Tyler Huntley also banged up, the Ravens could reportedly turn to the trade market for help.According to one report, the Ravens could be targeting a veteran quarterback to help shore up the position, but it sounds like they’ll have to be ready to spend.Ravens’ Quarterback InjuriesJackson, who had just returned from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, was hurt when his right hand struck Bills pass rusher Greg Rousseau on a throw. He headed to the locker room and later returned to the sideline with his hand in a cast.After the game, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter confirmed that Jackson will undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve. Asked whether the injury could end Jackson’s season, Minter said, “potentially.”“It’s tough,” Minter said. “When it happened, I think at the time, you’re just hoping that maybe it’s something small, and then I think pretty quickly kind of realized what had happened.”To make matters worse, Huntley suffered a toe injury in the second quarter, forcing undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano into his NFL debut. The UConn product went 10-of-21 for 91 yards with an interception.‘It Won’t Be Cheap’According to a report from Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Ravens are looking into trading for Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent.“The Ravens, we’re told, may explore the possibility of acquiring Bagent,” Florio of Pro Football Talk reported. “We’re also told that it won’t be cheap to get him.”Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle held the same position with the Bears last season, so he’s familiar with Bagent. Chicago also has three quarterbacks under contract, with Bagent and Case Keenum backing up starter Caleb Williams, so they could be willing to move one of them.That said, Florio warns that acquiring Bagent won’t be cheap.“That’s how it goes when a team develops an in-season need for a quarterback,” Florio wrote. “The price goes up, as reflected by the urgency of the effort to find a replacement.”We’ll have to see whether or not the Ravens make this move.The post Ravens reportedly interested in trading for veteran quarterback appeared first on The Comeback: Today’s Top Sports Stories & Reactions.
