Lamar Jackson shocked the NFL world on Monday when he revealed that he requested a trade away from the Baltimore Ravens in early March amid a contract standoff.
The 26-year-old 2019 NFL MVP is said to want a fully guaranteed contract, something the Ravens, nor any other team is yet to offer the quarterback. And as a result of the contract dispute, the Ravens have placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson.
That means that if a player on a non-exclusive tag agrees to a deal with a new team, the original team can match it or refuse and be awarded two first-round picks as compensation.
