NFL World Nearly Has A Meltdown After Lamar Jackson Gets Traded To Denver Broncos

The NFL world woke up to news about Lamar Jackson that probably made them spit out their coffee. Jackson is set to join the Broncos. You heard that right. Ahead of their bout against the Ravens, the Broncos acquired Jackson.

Only it’s not the Lamar Jackson that comes to mind almost instantaneously. The Broncos added former Chicago Bears’ defensive back Lamar Jackson to the team. NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero’s tweet may have caused fans to drop more than a few expletives.

The Broncos acquire Lamar Jackson before they face Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

Pelissero’s tweet said, “Lamar Jackson is joining the [Broncos]. Jackson, the former [Bears] defensive back, cleared waivers and is signing with Denver’s practice squad, per source. Lamar Jackson’s new team faces Lamar Jackson and the [Ravens] on Sunday.“ The negative space dividing the first line and the line mentioning which Jackson is being spoken about is sure to have stirred panic in the minds of Ravens fans.

To make things even more interesting, the last line of Pelissero’s tweet is confusing enough to make a person pinch themselves awake to see if they’ve misread it. Lamar Jackson’s new team will take on Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens. That’s a more roundabout way of saying that the Broncos will take on the Ravens.

NFL World reacts in bewilderment

The NFL world had to take a second to recover from the momentary shock they faced. NFL Insider reacted to Pelissero’s tweet with only one word that carried the weight of the emotions he felt.

Here’s a tweet that is capable of inducing a headache.

Another fan did his due diligence before realizing what was going on

The timing of this tweet is truly remarkable. With the acquisition of Jackson, the defensive back, the Bears could potentially put him to good use against the Ravens. The Broncos are having a season they would want to forget. Currently, at 3-8, they sit at the bottom of the AFC West behind the Kansas City Chiefs, LA Chargers, and the Las Vegas Raiders.

With their acquisition of quarterback Russell Wilson not panning out as planned, the Broncos will try whatever they can to get some wins. The Ravens, on the other hand, are tied with the Cincinnati Bengals atop the AFC North. They will look for every opportunity to get ahead of their divisional rivals.
