PHOENIX — After the Ravens and Lamar Jackson spent the last two years trying to come to an agreement on a long-term deal, the quarterback has issued a definitive response. Following months of silence from Jackson, he revealed on Monday that he has demanded to be traded.
“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,” Jackson tweeted Monday morning. “I had to make a business decision that was best for my family and I.”
It was a stunning development with the tweet coming one minute before Ravens coach John Harbaugh met with the media at the NFL’s annual meeting.
