Former NFL Player Has A Clear Message For The Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have been one of the talks of the offseason.

Once they decided to give quarterback Lamar Jackson the exclusive franchise tag, they opened themselves up to a chaotic offseason.

Jackson is free to negotiate a contract with any team, even though the Ravens can match any offer.

For some reason, there hasn’t been much interest in Jackson.

He is a former league MVP and is still in the prime of his career.

You could count 10+ teams that should be interested in a player like Jackson.

At the same time, as the Ravens have gone through the offseason they have struggled to sign many free agents.

That might be because they do not have a franchise quarterback under contract.

Former NFL player Darius Butler said on the Pat McAfee Show: “Take care of the big domino. You’ve got to lock up Lamar. Receivers, (Darius) Slay, other players, all these guys aren’t gonna pull that trigger unless you got that quarterback position settled in.”

The Ravens are playing a dangerous game with Jackson and their whole team.

Just about everyone around the NFL respects Jackson for how great of a player he is.

So, for the Ravens to refuse to pay him will leave a bad taste in many players’ mouths.

Jackson has already come out and said that he has requested a trade from the Ravens.

But, signing him to a contract that he deserves might be able to cure all issues.

While Jackson would look strange playing in a different uniform, things are starting to look like he will have a new place to call home in 2023.
