Insert Michael Scott "please God, no" gif.

There's absolutely no way we can move Stafford, right? Right?!

Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson requested a trade away from the franchise on March 2, the player has confirmed with a statement to his fans on Twitter.

Jackson was hit with a non-exclusive franchise tag by the Ravens earlier this offseason, allowing him to speak to other teams regarding a trade. The tag allowed the Ravens to match any incoming offer, but Jackson has decided that he wishes to move on from Baltimore.

The quarterback has remained silent on his future throughout most of the offseason, but sent a message to his fans on Twitter to set the record straight following certain reports that referenced his next steps. "A letter to my fans," his statement began.

"I want to first thank you all for all of the love and support you consistently show towards me. All of you are amazing and I appreciate y’all so much. I want you all to know not to believe everything you read about me.

"Let me personally answer your questions in regards to my future plans. As of March 2nd I requested a trade from the Ravens organization for which the Ravens has not been interested in meeting my value.

"Any and everyone that’s has met me or been around me know I love the game of football and my dream is to help a team win the Super Bowl. You all are great but I had to make a business decision that was best for my family and I."

"No matter how far I go or where my career takes me, I’ll continue to be close to my fans of Baltimore Flock nation and the entire State of Maryland. You’ll See me again."

Jackson's tweet came at a poignant time, as head coach John Harbaugh was speaking to reporters at the NFL Annual Meeting. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Harbaugh repeatedly claimed that he expects Lamar Jackson to be the team's quarterback for the 2023 season.

"That’s my guy," Harbaugh was saying when speaking about Jackson - although the head coach is known for being a huge fan of the talented quarterback. However, it looks like Jackson won't be his guy for much longer, and there is a huge offseason ahead for both the player, and the Ravens franchise.

The Browns broke the QB market.

The Ravens are trying to fix it.

I don’t blame Lamar for trying to get his, but he may be disappointed in the end.

I think Jackson has some crazy skills, but for some reason I don't think of him as a top QB in the league. I don't think he could have led us to our last Super Bowl like Stafford did.....

Yeah, he couldn't have made a few of those throws that Stafford made that won it for us, however, I wonder if his running ability may have made some of those throws easier or even not needed? The furthest LJax has made it was losing in the divisional round twice. He's had good teams, but, not teams with Donald, Ramsey, and Kupp on it. So, I'm not sure.

 

[nighttrain]

to me, he's a tailback that can pass a little. Just because of injurie possibilities would not want him on the Rams.
Once the legs are banged up, I think he'll just be average as a QB

[blackbart]

Never have liked the idea of a RB that can throw a little. I wouldn’t touch the dude, he would cripple the cap with what he wants and whoever gets him won’t win with him playing a half a year.

 

[OnceARam]

What a pickle!

My guess is Baltimore trades him to Atlanta for the number 8 pick and a conditional 2/3 in 2024, assuming Anthony Richardson is there to replace him. Then he signs the same contract that Baltimore put on the table, 5 yrs - 3 guaranteed.

 

[Flatlyner]

Atlanta has put together some pretty nice weapons for him. It will be interesting to see him with weapons, since all he's had for the most part was Andrews or perhaps its because he likes to throw underneath more and that is Andrews territory.

 

[RamFanWA]

Too much like Kyler Murray, for me.... (though he may be a better passer...)

I think the Browns may have broken it, but the Giants sure blew apart any possibility of the market ever adjusting towards a level of normalcy.

[Angry Ram]

Overrated QB.

Overrated org.

 

[Jacobarch]

I don't think he's going to like the end result. But I get it.

 

[Merlin]

He's not worth top money as a QB, because he takes way too many shots from defenders with his play style and in the playoffs the moment his run threat is handled his team is out.

Some team will probably pay him a shit ton of money but I expect they won't get the full return they hope for. Gotta give the Ravens cred for being smart enough to draw a line on that.

 

[dieterbrock]

What's to gain here for Baltimore? Playing 2023 with Huntley at QB?
Yikes

 

[bubbaramfan]

He still thinks he can get DeSean Watson money.

Not crippling their franchise for 5 years by signing a JAG QB to a fully guaranteed contract?
