BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and rapper Meek Mill. As if the situation surrounding the Ravens’ star quarterback hasn’t had enough bizarre twists and turns already.
It took yet another one Monday afternoon when Kraft told reporters at the NFL meetings that Meek Mill texted him a few days earlier saying that the disgruntled Baltimore quarterback, who earlier in the day took to Twitter to reveal that he told the Ravens earlier this month that he wants out, would like to play for the Patriots.
“Meek Mill texted and said, ‘Lamar Jackson wants to come to the Patriots,’ ” Kraft said, adding that he’s also fond of the team’s current starting quarterback Mac Jones. “I said, ‘That’s [coach] Bill Belichick’s decision.’ ”
