Robert Kraft: Lamar Jackson ‘wants to come to the Patriots,’ according to Meek Mill

It took only one text from rapper Meek Mill to re-ignite trade rumors surrounding Lamar Jackson and the Patriots.

Speaking with reporters at the NFL Annual League Meeting in Phoenix, Patriots owner Robert Kraft tossed out an interesting nugget of information when asked about Jackson and his next stop after the quarterback requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens.

“Meek Mill texted and said, ‘Lamar Jackson wants to come to the Patriots,’” Kraft told reporters, including Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. “I said, ‘That’s Bill Belichick’s decision.’”

Kraft’s comments come shortly after he offered a ringing endorsement of quarterback Mac Jones after a lackluster 2022 season.
