The Ravens used the franchise tag on their star QB Lamar Jackson on Tuesday, though their future together remains in flux.
“Lamar Jackson is a Unanimous MVP, has led the NFL in passing touchdowns, is 26 years old, is 45-16 as a starter and all the QB needy teams are saying they aren’t interested,” Griffin III said, who had a similar playing style to Jackson. “Don’t smell right to me.”Whatever the reasons may be, the NFL Players Association is reportedly monitoring Jackson’s situation closely over the idea teams may be colluding to depress Jackson’s market.
Why are all of these teams so publicly “out” on Lamar Jackson, an MVP winner in his prime at the most important position in the entire NFL?“We will continue to negotiate in good faith with Lamar, and we are hopeful that we can strike a long-term deal that is fair to both Lamar and the Ravens,” Baltimore GM Eric DeCosta said Tuesday.Teams potentially could be put off by Jackson’s injury concerns — he’s missed time in each of the past two seasons.
