It’s one thing to be a good or great player in the NFL, but what good is that if you never win a Super Bowl?
Individual success is nice, but world championship rings are what solidify one’s legacy, raise his profile and, at the end of the day, satisfy his soul.
These two NFL stars will be free agents next spring, and they should seriously consider signing with a new team in order to give themselves a better shot at winning it all.
1.Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson has been one of the game’s truly unique quarterbacks for several years, as he has taken the definition of “dual-threat QB” to a new level.
This guy is pretty good. 😱 @lj_era8

His Baltimore Ravens are doing well right now, as they’re in first place in the AFC North with a 6-3 record, but hardly anyone considers them championship contenders.
The former league MVP turned down a lucrative contract extension offer, and therefore he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
At age 25, he is still young enough to build around, given that he is in the right offensive system and has the right teammates and coaching staff.
2. Baker Mayfield
After an uneven four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, Baker Mayfield has struggled this year with the Carolina Panthers, who seem to be in the process of blowing things up.
Mayfield is still only 27 years of age, and his natural talent is undeniable, even though he is a questionable decision-maker, especially late in games, and perhaps there will be one last chance to salvage his potential.
Would a young team on the rise that has a head coach he would be receptive to be willing to take a flyer on Mayfield?
The right change of scenery could be exactly what he needs to blossom.
