The Baltimore Ravens “weren’t interested in matching my worth,” according to Lamar Jackson, who has admitted that he asked for a trade on March 2.
Jackson said the Ravens’ supporters’ farewell in a string of tweets on social media on Monday, adding: “You’ll see me again.”
As a non-exclusive franchise tag has been placed on Jackson, a free agent, Jackson is free to talk terms with other clubs. Jackson’s following two first-round draft selections would be sent to the Ravens in exchange for him if he accepts an offer from a team and the rival team doesn’t match the offer.
Jackson thanked his followers for their unwavering love and support in a message to his fans posted on Twitter.
Jackson said he thinks highly of all of you and that you are all excellent.
He wanted his supporters to know that only some information they read about him should be trusted.
Questions about his future intentions should be left for him to respond to directly.
The Ravens management has refused his request for a trade as of March 2.
Anyone who has met or been around him knows that he loves football and that one of his goals is to support a team that wins the Super Bowl.
Jackson continued that, despite you all being excellent, he had to choose a business strategy that would benefit his family and him.
“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.”

When speaking with the media at the NFL’s annual owners’ meeting in Phoenix, John Harbaugh, the head coach of the Ravens, was tweeting as Jackson was.
When asked about the Jackson trade rumors, Harbaugh responded, “I haven’t seen the tweet.
“It’s an ongoing process. I’m following it very closely, just like everybody else is here and looking forward to a resolution. I’m excited. Thinking about Lamar all the time. Thinking about him as our quarterback. We’re building our offense around that idea.”

Five days after Jackson made a trade request, as per his statement, the Ravens applied the non-exclusive franchise tag to him on March 7.
At the time, Eric DeCosta, general manager of the Ravens, said there had been several situations across the league and in Baltimore when a player was assigned the franchise tag and signed a long-term contract that same year.
“We will continue to negotiate in good faith with Lamar, and we are hopeful that we can strike a long-term deal that is fair to both Lamar and the Ravens. Our ultimate goal is to build a championship team with Lamar Jackson leading the way for many years to come.”

With his explosive throwing and rushing, Jackson is one of the game’s top players and the 2019 NFL Most Valuable Player.
Due to a knee issue, he missed the final five regular-season games in 2022 and the Ravens’ wild-card playoff defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Jackson is one of just six quarterbacks in NFL history to have accumulated 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 running yards by age 26. An NFL record is set by the 12 games in which he rushed for at least 100 yards.
As a starter in the NFL, he had a history of 45–16.
