New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft revealed he was told by rapper Meek Mill that superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson wants to play for his six-time Super Bowl champion franchise.
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 selected him with the 32nd pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft but it appears the quarterback’s time with the franchise is nearing its end.
Jackson addressed his future publicly for the first time this offseason after Baltimore placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the dynamic quarterback. The tag allows Jackson to speak with other franchises over his future, while the Ravens can ultimately match or surpass any contract offer - or decide to ship the 26-year-old in exchange for two first round picks.
