Deep down, though, I think this gets worked out and Jackson gets his money and stays with Baltimore.

the cba doesn't seem to allow a trade for more than 2 first-round picks for a player in lamar's situation. that said, the interpretation of the cba has been stretched in other occasions, so who knows. for instance, the cba doesn't say anything about BAL revoking the tag, signing lamar to a dummy contract, and trading him for more than 2 firsts, since then he would not be on the tag anymore. but i'd expect there would be litigation in that case, since the spirit of the rule has been circumvented.
the ravens are certainly aware of the cba limitation, so they are either happy to move on for 2 firsts, or they have signaled they would match any offer sheet that comes in.
