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.
