Lamar Jackson Requests Trade, but Teams Remain Cautious.

Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera said they never considered pursuing Lamar Jackson, but haven't ruled out drafting a quarterback in the first round. Rivera has said time and again that Sam Howell will begin spring workouts as the No. 1 quarterback. But he also has said that Howell still has to earn the starting job. He'll compete with Jacoby Brissett, signed during free agency, for the position. While Washington will keep that option open, it won't entertain Jackson.
