"The decision part 2" - NFL fans go crazy as Lamar Jackson teases 'exclusive interview' with himself
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are yet to find common ground on a contract extension. With the Ravens placing a non-exclusive franchise tag on the quarterback, it looks like the quarterback's days in Baltimore are over.
On Saturday evening, Jackson took to Instagram to tease an "exclusive interview" with himself, which will be released "soon" on the quarterback's YouTube channel.
In the short video, the 2019 NFL MVP was seen discussing learning the West Coast offense, being labeled as a running back, and people knocking out his ability to throw the football.
This exclusive sneak peak video got NFL fans thrilled and excited. Here's what the fans had to say.

Where will Lamar Jackson play in 2023?
The breakup between Lamar Jackson and Baltimore looks imminent as the Ravens place a non-exclusive franchise tag on the quarterback. With the new league year having begun at 4 pm ET on March 15, Jackson can now discuss with teams and negotiate contracts in search of a new home.
One team that has been linked with the Ravens quarterback is the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have released Matt Ryan. Although they have signed Gardner Minshew on a one-year deal, they will look to build for the future around a franchise quarterback.
With the asking price for Jackson being two first-round picks and a near fully-guaranteed contract, it'll be interesting to see whether they go for the 2019 NFL MVP.
Another team to watch out for will be the Houston Texans. The Texans do not have a franchise quarterback and are desperately looking to solve the QB conundrum. They can also match the asking price from the Ravens with their two first-round picks in the 2023 and 2024 NFL draft.
One final team to not count out are the Baltimore Ravens themselves. Note that they are still interested in keeping Lamar Jackson. If no team is able to match the asking price, we could see the Heisman Trophy winner stay in Baltimore for the 2023 NFL season.
