Ravens QB Lamar Jackson says he requested trade: Team not ‘interested in meeting my value’

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson says he requested trade: Team not 'interested in meeting my value'

The Lamar Jackson drama took another turn.

On Monday, the previous NFL MVP announced on Twitter that he requested a profession from the Baltimore Ravens on March 2.

” A letter to my Followers,” Jackson composed. “I intend to very first thanks all for all of the love as well as assistance you consistently show towards me. All of you are incredible and I appreciate y’ all a lot. I desire you all to know not to believe whatever you read about me.

” Let me directly address your inquiries in regards to my future plans. As of March 2nd I requested a trade from the Ravens company for which the Ravens has not wanted meeting my worth, any as well as every person that’s has actually satisfied me or been around me recognize I enjoy the game of football as well as my dream is to aid a group win the super bowl. You all are wonderful however I needed to make a business choice that was best for my family and also I. No matter exactly how far I go or where my career takes me, I’ll remain to be close to my followers of Baltimore Group country as well as the whole State of Maryland. You’ll See me once again Truzzzzz.”

The Ravens used the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson on March 7. The tender deserves $32.416 million in 2023, as well as they’ll have up until July 17 to reach a multi-year extension.

The non-exclusive nature of the tag allows Jackson, that does not employ a representative, to bargain with various other clubs. Last Thursday, the NFL sent out a memo to teams advising them they are not to work out with a non-NFLPA-certified representative who might be contacting them on Jackson’s part.

The discovery from Jackson has resulted in concerns regarding the QB for various other basic supervisors and also instructors attending the NFL’s Annual Organization Fulfilling in Phoenix Metro.

Robert Kraft told press reporters that rapper Meek Mill, who has actually collaborated with the Patriots proprietor on different reform initiatives, texted him three to 4 days ago saying that Jackson wishes to be a Patriot. Kraft kept in mind that a decision like that would inevitably be up to head trainer Costs Belichick.

While the Patriots have previous first-rounder Mac Jones coming off a down season heading into Year 3, the Colts were additionally a team with some buzz provided their present gap at the setting. Indianapolis did lately sign Gardner Minshew and also holds the No. 4 total choice in the upcoming draft, but Jackson represents the largest prospective upgrade as a former MVP.

” Anytime an unique player is offered– which he is– you obtained ta do the work,” Colts general manager Chris Ballard stated, per The Athletic’s Zak Keefer. “I’m not gon na get involved in deep conversations on where it’s at, what we’re doing or what we might do, but he’s an actually unique gamer. You never understand exactly how any of this will work out.”

As Jackson sent his tweet Monday, Ravens head instructor John Harbaugh was meeting with reporters. The train did his ideal to minimize the information concerning Jackson’s profession request.

Harbaugh stated he likes Jackson as well as is functioning under the presumption that he will certainly be a Raven in 2023.

” I have not seen the tweet,” Harbaugh stated. “It’s an ongoing procedure. I’m following it extremely closely, much like everybody else is right here and also anticipating a resolution. I’m thrilled. Thinking of Lamar all the time. Considering him as our quarterback. We’re constructing our crime around that idea. I’m just anticipating returning to football and I’m confident that’s going to occur.”

Later on Monday, Harbaugh informed NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero that he had yet to connect to Jackson following the tweet.

” No, you know, it’s not that time right now,” he claimed. “It’s sort of contract time. I don’t think it’s type of a time as a train I require to or he wants me to. I assume he just intends to concentrate on this component of it. I have actually left it open. If he needs me, I’m here for him.”

Harbaugh went on to inform Pelissero that he is positive about Jackson and also the Baltimore brass associated with the process and feels “excellent regarding where it’s gon na go.”

” I know something,” he stated. “If he’s aligning there in the purple as well as black, he’s gon na be done in. And also I’m gon na be done in with him. So, allow’s just see what takes place.”

Harbaugh kept in mind to reporters in his earlier section of media time Monday that while points function themselves out, the club has actually made contingency strategies.

” You’ve reached prepare for all backups for sure, but I’m rather terminated up about Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson is an excellent gamer,” he said.

The club put a tender on back-up limited freelance Tyler Huntley previously this offseason.

The Ravens as well as Jackson have tried to exercise a lasting extension for 2 years fruitless.

” Lamar is doing a good task in negotiations,” Harbaugh stated. “So is Eric [DeCosta] I recognize where we go to. There is no irritation. I really feel OK regarding this.”

Already, we had not listened to lots of concrete realities from Jackson’s side of the arrangements. Nonetheless, announcing he’s requested a profession makes clear that the QB is willing to move on from Baltimore. The concern is whether one more club would want to satisfy his contract demands as well as potentially give up two first-round draft choices in the process.
