Pat McAfee asks Lamar Jackson not to leave

The 25-year-old quarterback often shares exciting tweets and creative messages for his fans. For this purpose, he always used Twitter as the medium. On April 16th, Jackson shocked fans with his announcement. He said that he never takes the platform seriously and finds it boring for him. “I have to delete this app… Because I don’t take it seriously, but I see a lot of people do and it makes it boring for me to have” Jackson tweeted.

As soon as the tweet went viral, fans were soon to hop into the discussion. Few of them supported his views while many asked him to stay on the platform otherwise, they won’t be able to interact with him anytime soon.

To add more fuel to the discussion; sports analyst Pat McAfee made a tweet on Jackson’s post. “Nope.. we need you on here.. TRUZZZZ”, McAfee tweeted. Indeed, most of the time, the analyst received content for his show through Jackson’s tweets, and McAfee understands that losing him on Twitter would be a big mistake.

A few days ago, Jackson was rumored to part ways with the Ravens. The Ravens were allegedly indulged in trade talks with various franchises, but Jackson came forward and quashed all the rumors through Twitter. “I love my Ravens I don’t know who the hell putting that false narrative out that I’m having thoughts about leaving, stop tryna read my mind” he had tweeted. The Heisman Trophy winner is gearing up to enter the final season of his rookie contract and is eligible for an extension this off-season.

Jackson has an impeccable track record for the Baltimore Ravens

Jackson is the youngest quarterback in NFL history to start a playoff game at age 21. With an overall 38 wins from the 53 stars of the match, the star was crowned MVP award in 2019. This makes him one of the top-notch choices for any team, to acquire if he gets released. The Ravens’ owner Steve Bisciotti knows this situation very well and vowed to keep him until he is an asset to the team.

“The kid is so obsessed with winning a Super Bowl that I think, deep down, he doesn’t think he’s worthy. I think he wants to say, ‘Now, I deserve to be on top.’ People can speculate any way they want. I don’t think he is turned on by money that much, and he knows it’s coming one way or the other.” Biscotti told the reporters about Jackson’s trade rumors.

Jackson has two Pro Bowl selections in four years. He became the first quarterback to have multiple 1,000 yards rushing seasons and led the Ravens to a third consecutive playoff run in the 2020 season. Moreover, Jackson’s fifth year on the team will pay him $23 million in 2022, which ranks 13th among quarterbacks in total cash. Other than giving a contract extension, it would be difficult for the Ravens to retain the star quarterback for the upcoming seasons.
