Lamar Jackson claps back at Mike Florio and Chris Simms’ false accusations
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has made headlines recently owing to unsuccessful contract discussions with the team. This has left his future with the Ravens uncertain.
Jackson does not have an agent because he represents himself and is managed by his mother. Many believe that not having an agent hasn't aided the Ravens quarterback, and Mike Florio and Chris Simms recently stated that Jackson reportedly lost a shoe deal as a result of not having an agent.
Following what Florio and Simms said, Jackson reacted immediately on social media. He tweeted a LeBron James GIF in which the Los Angeles Lakers star appeared bewildered.
The GIF represents the actual sentiments of the Baltimore Ravens quarterback, who is constantly reading false tales about him. He feels he must clarify the situation to nullify all the false accusations leveled at him by the media and their sources.
This is one of the reasons Jackson would want his contract situation to be addressed quickly. If the Ravens are unwilling to provide him with the desired money, the quarterback is open to a move to other teams.

Lamar Jackson's future is still undecided
The Ravens put themselves in a terrible position by not extending Jackson last season. His asking price has undoubtedly risen since then and trust has been shattered. Furthermore, Jackson may expect more money if players like Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow sign new contracts before him.
Contract extensions for Hurts, Burrow, and Herbert will most likely reset the quarterback market, and the Ravens may suffer as a result. They could franchise tag Jackson for the upcoming season, but it would almost certainly end in the quarterback being traded the following season.

The Atlanta Falcons have expressed interest in trading for Lamar Jackson because they believe he is the quarterback who will be ideal for them in the future. The NFC South is quite weak right now, and the Falcons would want to take advantage of that by acquiring a game-changer like Jackson.
What happens next with Lamar Jackson is unknown, but the Baltimore Ravens are now in a difficult predicament that must be resolved quickly.
