The Lamar Jackson trade drama is reaching new points. Things have taken a peculiar turn with crazy twists and franchises backing out on the quarterback. Jackson is standing by his worth, but the turmoil is getting on his nerves. LJ recently addressed his interest in being traded. Amidst the drama, a former NWE athlete put out an anti-Bill Belichick tweet to warn LJ. The banter escalated to a crazy extent, with mega claims coming onward.

Since Lamar Jackson is on a non-exclusive franchise tag, he is free to negotiate a contract with any organization. But no teams, which includes the New England Patriots, have expressed interest in the quarterback’s services. However, according to Albert Breer, franchise owner Robert Kraft revealed he received texts from Philly rapper Meek Mill to recruit LJ.

Having Jackson on the Patriots could be beneficial. The quarterback was unanimously named MVP, and he undoubtedly lived up to his billing. Would Bill Belichick take a chance despite their withdrawal?

Having Lamar, on the other hand, is a big deal. The athlete is vouching for a multi-million dollar contract. The Baltimore Ravens, who are looking for two first-round picks as payout, are also not backing up. As of now, the franchise remains to root for Mac Jones to be the starting quarterback for the season to come.
