On Monday, former NFL Most Valuable Player and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted on social media that he had requested a trade from the team. This announcement came after the Ravens had applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, allowing him to negotiate with other franchises. Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he was unaware of Jackson's message and expressed his hope for a resolution. General manager Eric DeCosta had also expressed his hope that a long-term deal could be agreed upon. Jackson does not have an agent and represents himself.
The situation has yet to be resolved, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Jackson and the Ravens have both expressed their desire for a long-term agreement that will help the team build a championship team with Jackson at the helm. It remains to be seen whether or not Jackson will remain with the Ravens, or if he will be traded to another team. It is clear that both parties are interested in a long-term agreement, and it will be interesting to see how this situation develops.
