Lamar Jackson is not very happy with the Baltimore Ravens. After getting the non-exclusive franchise tag, the quarterback made a controversial move that shows he's not fully committed with the team.
The Ravens are giving Lamar Jackson a really hard time this offseason. After they were unable to reach an agreement, Baltimore decided to put the non-exclusive franchise tag on the quarterback and make him seek for a new team on his own.
Although Jackson stated that he wanted to continue his career in Baltimore, this decision by the team has added tension to their relationship. Now, the quarterback is seeking compensation and has made it clear that he intends to leave this year.
Lamar Jackson let the Ravens know he's not fully committed with them
The non-exclusive franchise tag was definitely not what Lamar Jackson was looking for this year. According to reports, the quarterback asked the Ravens to give him a long-term deal, but the team rejected his request.
Fortunately, not everything is lost for Jackson. This type of tag allows him to negotiate with other teams and, if they offer him what he wants, then the quarterback could leave in exchange for two first-round picks for the Ravens; a high price for any squad interested in Lamar.
Now, Jackson intends to leave as soon as possible due to this situation. According to ProFootballTalk, his representative has contacted multiple teams to inform them that Lamar does not want to continue with Baltimore. This could mean that he is willing to lower his price in order to join a new team for the 2023 season.
This could be seen as a lack of commitment by the quarterback, but it is also true that he feels belittled by the Ravens. Will Jackson be able to find a good landing spot or will he play one more season with Baltimore?
