Is Lamar Jackson joining Twitch? Ravens QB drops hint on Twitter
The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson are yet to agree on a contract extension, but the quarterback isn't disturbed by it and still has faith in whatever the future holds for him.
The Ravens quarterback has been active on all social media platforms lately, and he recently hinted to his supporters that he might join streaming platform Twitch.
Numerous other NFL players like Tyreek Hill, Cam Newton, and Sauce Gardner already stream games on a regular basis, so Jackson doing so will benefit both him and his fans.
If he does join Twitch, the quarterback can take a break from all the drama around him and engage in direct conversations with his fans, much like Sauce Gardner does on his streams.
The Ravens quarterback took to Twitter to simply post one word, "Twitch", potentially asking his fans whether he should join the streaming platform.

As seen in his tweets and stories on Instagram, Jackson doesn't portray a fake persona. This will undoubtedly entice many fans to tune into his streams, and he, like other athletes, will be able to construct his own kingdom in a new field.
NFL Free Agency 2023: Lamar Jackson's situation with Ravens still delicate
There have been no new updates regarding Jackson's situation with the Baltimore Ravens as both he and the franchise are quite far away from seeing eye to eye in negotiations.
Although both coach John Harbaugh and Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta have stated their desire to keep Jackson at any cost, no one knows whether the quarterback will remain in Baltimore in the long run.
#Ravens GM Eric DeCosta says he’s having ongoing discussions with Lamar Jackson and remains optimistic. They have not made a decision on which franchise tag they’ll use.
“We want Lamar here. We want him back. Living in a world without a quarterback is a bad world to live in.”
Several franchises have already expressed interest in trading for Lamar Jackson if he becomes available. There has been some concern about Jackson's health, but when he plays, the Ravens appear to be real Super Bowl contenders.
Last season, Jackson played 12 games, in which he had a passer rating of 91.1 with 2,242 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 764 yards and three touchdowns.
It will be intriguing to see what the Ravens do with Lamar Jackson, especially because they need to act quickly. His value is rather high right now, but as we get closer to next season, teams will be less inclined to provide a large trade package if they can sign him in free agency.
