Baltimore, Maryland – Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has requested a trade from the team, according to multiple reports. Jackson himself confirmed the news on his Twitter account, stating that he made the request on March 2nd.

This news comes as a shock to many Ravens fans, as Jackson has been the face of the franchise since being drafted in 2018. His explosive playing style and MVP season in 2019 endeared him to the city and made him one of the most exciting players in the league.

However, recent struggles and playoff failures have left some questioning his future with the team. Jackson has been vocal about his desire to maximize his marketability and earn a big contract, and it seems that a change of scenery may be necessary to achieve those goals.

Despite the trade request, it is unclear if the Ravens will actually trade their star quarterback. While the team may consider offers, they may also choose to hold onto Jackson and try to work through their current issues.

The news of Jackson’s trade request has also sparked speculation about potential landing spots for the quarterback. One report suggests that the Minnesota Vikings are now second in line to land Jackson, while other teams such as the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos have also been mentioned as potential destinations.

Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching the situation unfold in the coming days and weeks as the Ravens weigh their options and Jackson considers his future in the NFL.
