Nobody wants to sign it! The 2019 MVP did not reach a long-term deal with Baltimore.
MARYLAND, United States.- Lamar Jackson has requested a transfer to the Ravens since March 2 and no NFL team is interested in offering him a new contract.
What is going on with Lamar? Why doesn’t anyone want him on his team in 2023?
What do NFL coaches think of Lamar Jackson?
Here are the NFL teams that have talked about Lamar Jackson in the last week vs. how the Ravens have talked about him:
Kyle Shanahan, 49ers HC: We have three quarterbacks that we’re pretty good with right now.”
The Colts didn’t rule him out, but owner Jim Irsay said: As an owner, I don’t believe in fully guaranteed contracts… When you have a rookie quarterback, it gives you the opportunity to build a franchise for the first 3 or 4 years.”
Falcons owner Arthur Blank: Looking at it objectively, I’d say there’s some concern about how long he can play with his playstyle. Hopefully a long time… but he has missed 5 or 6 games each of the last 2 years. Every game counts a lot in our business.”
Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer: It’s a great option, a really expensive option. But we’re focused on more draft picks right now.”
Lions HC Dan Campbell: Lamar is a great talent. But, man, we have a quarterback. And thank God we have one. Then we are fine”.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft: That’s Bill Belichick’s decision.”
Jets general manager Joe Douglas: It would be disingenuous and…negotiating in bad faith if we went the way. Right now, we have our plan.”
Pete Carroll, Seahawks HC: We are not interested. … I couldn’t imagine it being available, and we couldn’t afford it.”
Commanders GM Martin Mayhew: For us right now, we’re moving forward with Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett.”
Ravens HC John Harbaugh: That’s the guy I want to see as our QB. That’s my Boy. We made the decision to go with Lamar Jackson five years ago. Because? Because we love it. We love it. We love the way he plays. We love his mentality. His charisma. His style. The way he is in the locker room. Everything about him, we love him.”
