The Atlanta Falcons have signed Lamar Jackson…but it’s not the one you think.
Lamar Jackson, the two-time NFL MVP and superstar quarterback, is still a proud member of the Baltimore Ravens. The Falcons signed the other Jackson, a 26-year-old free agent cornerback who was previously with the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN’s Field Yates.
We can only imagine how many hearts of football fans skipped a beat today after the news broke. You may recall that the Ravens’ Jackson was linked to the Falcons in trade rumors before he signed a contract extension in 2023.
Social media, of course, had all sorts of priceless reactions to the news of THE OTHER Lamar Jackson landing with the Falcons:

The Falcons’ Jackson played at Nebraska before signing with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent. He spent two seasons there before joining the Chicago Bears, appearing in five games for Matt Eberflus’ club.
Lamar Jackson landed with the Denver Broncos and played three games in 2022 before becoming a free agent again. He joined the Carolina Panthers in 2023, appearing in one game before getting waived.
Jackson has appeared in 23 NFL games, recording four pass breakups and 31 combined tackles. He had his best season in 2020, recording two pass breakups and 28 combined tackles in 13 game appearances.
Lamar Jackson Joins A Contender In The NFC
The well-traveled Jackson has never played for a playoff contender, but that’s about to change now that he’s in Atlanta. Despite losing to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, the 6-4 Falcons are sitting comfortably atop the weak NFC South with seven games to go.
Atlanta hasn’t qualified for the postseason since 2017, and they last won the division crown in 2016. But both droughts are set to finally end this year, barring a late-season collapse of epic proportions.
