Things just got real.
After weeks of mystery and speculation, Lamar Jackson dropped a bomb on Twitter Monday saying that he has requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens because the franchise “has not been interested in meeting my value” in negotiations for a new deal.
Jackson said he made the trade request to the Ravens March 2.
“… I love the game of football and my dream is to help a team win the super bowl,” tweeted Jackson, saying that Baltimore fans “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.”
