The Lamar Jackson sweepstakes are well underway, with the consensus being that the Baltimore Ravens will be forced to trade the superstar quarterback before the 2023 NFL Draft or the start of the next season.
Although Jackson hasn’t been as hot a commodity as anticipated, the versatile quarterback may have a solid trade suitor in the form of the Indianapolis Colts, who recently admitted to not ruling out the prospect of trading for him.
It appears that Colts fans are avidly supporting the potential trade to acquire Jackson and have been trying to get team legend Reggie Wayne to help Indianapolis make the push for the one-time NFL MVP.
Wayne hasn’t been too happy about fans constantly nagging him to do something about the situation and responded with this hilarious tweet.
Will y’all stop @’n me to tell the Colts to get Lamar. I have no way of making your wish come true. Hell… I’m still trying to get my kids to listen to me… Let alone an organization.

At this point, there’s no telling where Jackson will end up or how serious the Colts brass may be about going after the superstar quarterback.
The Ravens still want Jackson in the fold for the foreseeable future, especially head coach John Harbaugh.
However, the team has been reluctant to pay Jackson’s asking price, and that appears to be the only thing the 26-year-old quarterback cares about right now.
A fully guaranteed deal is what Jackson wants, and that’s a lot to ask for in a league that doesn’t give out fully guaranteed contracts.
Along with the league’s reluctance to make fully guaranteed deals the new trend in the NFL, Jackson has had injury issues, making it much more challenging for teams to commit a lot of money and years to a mobile quarterback.
