Lamar Jackson said Monday he has requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens.
In a series of tweets, the star quarterback said he requested a trade as of March 2. On March 7, the Ravens put the nonexclusive franchise tag on Jackson and said they were still hopeful they could reach a long-term deal with him.
That version of the franchise tag allowed Jackson to negotiate with other teams, but it also gives Baltimore a chance to match any agreement he makes.
Also Monday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh spoke about Jackson at the league's owners meetings in Phoenix.
