The Baltimore Ravens are in the market for wide receiving help this offseason, and one option that could be made available for trade is Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Vincent Jackson.
According to ESPN's Jamison Hensley, the Ravens could be interested if Jackson is put on the market, but his price tag might be too much for them to take on due to their salary cap situation:
The Ravens have been willing to trade for wide receivers in the past. They did so in 2010 with Anquan Boldin, and in 2011 with Lee Evans. So, you can't rule it out. It also could be the only way to get Jackson from Tampa Bay. I mentioned earlier in the week that Jackson could become a salary-cap cut, but the consensus is the Buccaneers aren't going to release him. It was last November when the Buccaneers reportedly turned down a trade offer from the Eagles for Jackson. Tampa Bay probably isn't going to part ways with Jackson only a few months after declining a deal that would have given the Buccaneers something in return. Would Tampa Bay be interested in letting go of Jackson now? The Buccaneers might be inclined to do so considering Mike Evans is going to become the No. 1 wide receiver. The biggest problem for the Ravens is Jackson's salary. He is making $9.7 million in base salary in 2015 and 2016. The Ravens don't have the salary-cap room to take that contract right now.
