Lamar Jackson
On Monday, former MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson delivered quite a shock to the NFL world when he announced that he had requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens earlier in the month. And with news that he’s ready to leave Baltimore, it appears that at least one NFL team is interested in potentially pursuing Jackson.
During the NFL league meetings this week, Colts general manager Chris Ballard was asked his thoughts on Lamar Jackson, and he admitted that the team would at least be interested in signing the star quarterback, though he acknowledge that it might not work out.
“Anytime a special player is available, which he is, you’ve got to do the work,” Ballard said on Monday according to ESPN. “I’m not going to get into deep discussions on where it’s at or what we’re doing or what we might do. But what I’ll tell you is he’s a really good player, really special player. But you never know how any of this will work out.”
It’s a pretty big statement, and the NFL world had plenty to say about it on Twitter.
Ballard’s comments also echoed the comments made by new Colts head coach Shane Steichen, who said that the team was doing its “due diligence” on all available quarterbacks.
We’ll have to see how it all plays out, but it’s clear the Colts are at least interested.
