Despite being heavily linked with a huge move for Lamar Jackson, it appears as though the New England Patriots will not be in the running for the Baltimore Ravens quarterback.
That's according to The Athletic, who claim that the Patriots have no plans to sign the highly-rated 26-year-old despite claims that Jackson was interested in joining the franchise. Patriots owner Robert Kraft said recently that rapper Meek Mill informed him via text that Jackson was keen on a move, and deferred the decision onto head coach Bill Belichick.
Belichick has put his faith in Mac Jones, although he failed to rule out a world in which back-up quarterback Bailey Zappe starts for the Patriots too. Belichick recently said that the "best player will play" in all positions, but even though Jackson is seen as an upgrade to both Jones and Zappe, he's not interested.
