The free agency in the NFL is in full swing. There have been many deals already made by teams for players to bolster their rosters before the new season commences. While many have been able to figure out their contracts with the players, there is one exception that has been the talk of the NFL world for a while now. Baltimore Ravens and their QB Lamar Jackson are still yet to figure out how the future looks for them. With the Ravens recently non-exclusive franchise tagging Jackson, it seems like maybe the team is ready to move on from the 2019 MVP. The QB recently turned down a $133 million fully guaranteed contract by the Ravens. And with no other team showing much interest in the pursuit of Jackson, it may be difficult to draw a conclusion about his future in the NFL.

But according to the NFL Management Council, this particular individual is not a certified NFLPA agent. And the Council will nullify any uncertified negotiation by the teams with Ken Francis as a breach of the code of conduct. They also circulated a memo regarding the same warning teams not to enter negotiations with such an individual.

We may also note that Lamar Jackson does not have an agent who represents him in the NFL. The QB has always been agentless, and his mother has always worked like his manager when it comes to negotiations and striking deals.
