Lamar Jackson sets record straight on Twitter, says he asked for trade

Ravens HC John Harbaugh discusses status of QB Lamar Jackson

The Baltimore Ravens are at an impasse in their negotiations with MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson. After months of speculation and reports of stalled talks between the two parties, Jackson took to Twitter to set the record straight, though his statement raises more questions than answers for the Ravens and their fans.

In his explanation of the current situation, Jackson says he requested a trade on March 2, which was before the Ravens tagged him. He’s left no doubt about his desire to leave Baltimore to play for another team next season. Though the Ravens seem to have the leverage to bring him back, these latest developments paint a grim picture for the team, which is looking to cement itself as a serious Super Bowl contender in 2023.

While this was not the news fans in the Charm City hoped to see on Monday morning, Jackson’s posts should clarify the ongoing circumstances surrounding his extended free agency saga. The Ravens will be sure to use every tool they have to ensure that the quarterback remains a keystone in their offensive attack next year, though Jackson’s status as an invested member of the organization is growing more questionable by the hour.
