At the very least, the Indianapolis Colts will consider trading for Lamar Jackson.

Jackson revealed on Monday that he requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens earlier this month.

Chris Ballard confirmed the team's interest in the quarterback at the NFL's annual league meeting, saying that Indianapolis has to consider all options to fix the position, which has been in flux since Andrew Luck's retirement in 2019.

Jackson was given the nonexclusive franchise tag by the Ravens but is free to negotiate with other teams.

"Anytime a special player is available, which he is, you've got to do the work," Ballard said. "I'm not going to get into deep discussions on where it's at or what we're doing or what we might do. But what I'll tell you is he's a really good player, really special player. But you never know how any of this will work out."

The Indianapolis Colts haven't ruled out having discussions with Lamar Jackson, according to a source.

However, the team has not taken any substantive steps regarding Jackson and it is unclear whether it intends to do so. 

"When you're changing quarterbacks every year, it's tough," Chris Ballard admitted after last season. "It's tough on everybody."

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired Stephon Gilmore in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, according to reports.

The Colts will receive a 2023 fifth-round pick from the Cowboys.

Gilmore is set to make $7.96 million this season and the Colts will clear over $9 million in cap space as part of the deal.
