Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has officially announced his trade request on his Twitter page, stating that he has already requested that the Ravens trade him in the latest twist to the ongoing saga between Jackson and the Ravens.
In a series of Tweets, Jackson spoke about his desire to be traded:
“in regards to my future plans. 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 win the super bowl. You all are great but I had to make a business decision that was best for my family and I. No matter how far I go or where my career takes me, I’ll continue to be close to my fans of Baltimore Flock nation and the entire State of Maryland. You’ll See me again”
Given a number of teams have reportedly balked at the idea of trading for Jackson given the astronomical haul that the Ravens would want, and the lofty contract demands Jackson will be seeking in a new, long-term contract.
