Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts signed a long-term extension Monday. Could that impact Indianapolis Colts QB plans?
"If I were the Colts GM, I would ask Mr. (team owner Jim) Irsay if I could borrow one of his planes and fly down to see Lamar Jackson," Lombardi remarked.
The Baltimore Ravens placed a $34.2 million non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson because they couldn't reach a long-term deal. Jackson wants a guaranteed trade and contract.
Lombardi would take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud if the Colts keep the No. 4 pick in the NFL Draft. He thinks the Colts should try Jackson.
Why not acquire the best quarterback? Why risk Stroud or (Will) Levis when I can try to get Lamar Jackson?"
