Lamar Jackson, the former NFL MVP and quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, has officially requested a trade from the team. Jackson represents himself and does not have an agent, which may not be the wisest decision considering the complexities of contract negotiations with an NFL team. The Ravens have applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, which gives them control over his future with the team.
They can match offers from other teams or receive two first-round draft picks as compensation if he signs elsewhere. Some teams may be interested in acquiring Jackson, but his contract demands and high price tag could be a hurdle. The Ravens are considering Jackson’s injury history and making a wise decision for their team’s future. It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out, but it is important that both parties come to a resolution that is fair and beneficial.
