Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh admitted he has not communicated with Lamar Jackson amid the dynamic quarterback requesting a trade from the AFC North team earlier this month.
On Monday, Jackson - whose future has been one of the biggest storylines across the offseason - announced he had requested a trade from the Ravens earlier this month on 2 March. Baltimore placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the 26-year-old five days later, allowing teams to negotiate with Jackson while he and the Ravens have until 17 July to agree a multi-year extension.
Jackson’s trade request became the dominant topic at this week’s NFL owners’ meetings in Arizona, with the former MVP releasing the bombshell on social media as Harbaugh was addressing reporters. The coach did his best to downplay the news, insisting he ‘loves’ the quarterback and anticipates he will lead the Ravens in 2023.
