The NFL is abuzz with the news of the potential departure of Lamar Jackson from the Baltimore Ravens. This move has left fans questioning the future of one of the league’s most exciting players. Given the love the athlete has for his franchise, it is obvious that the QB is deeply hurt by this trade. And, recently, he took to Twitter to address the whole issue and express his feelings about all the different narratives going on about him.
Jackson has been seeking a contract that would match the $230 million deal that Deshaun Watson received from the Cleveland Browns, last year. However, despite being tagged as a non-exclusive franchise player by the Ravens, he has made it clear that he wants out.

The Ravens have relied heavily on Jackson’s talents to lead the team to numerous victories over the years. Jackson’s dynamic playing style and ability to both pass and run the ball have made him a fan favorite in Baltimore. Despite the team offering him a deal that would have given him $133 million guaranteed at signing and $200 million in total guarantees if certain incentives were met, Jackson turned it down.
This latest development has left Ravens fans in a state of shock, with many expressing their disappointment on social media. Jackson, on the other hand, has taken to Twitter to clarify his position.
In a recent tweet, he said, “All in All I love you all ??? don?t ever think I have an attitude speaking on the net ?? Only if we losing I don?t know anyone who smiles after losing or play around ???? you should not play sports bro. Other than that I?m in great spirits at all times if you know me you know?.”
