The Ravens sent the NFL rumor mill into a tizzy on Tuesday by placing the nonexclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson. As reports began surfacing about which teams were not planning on pursuing the former MVP, former Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III offered his insight on the whole situation.
Griffin posited that the Ravens are hoping the nonexclusive franchise tag—which allows Jackson the ability to negotiate with other teams once free agency opens on March 15—will provide both Baltimore and Jackson an “unbiased look” at Jackson’s true market value, and that the team is “not reluctant” about signing the quarterback to a big deal.
