An NFL memo was released earlier today revealing that a man named Ken Francis has been trying to contact NFL teams to negotiate a contract for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and advising teams not to negotiate with him. Word has apparently reached Jackson’s ears now.
“Ken Francis is a Florida man who most recently was pitching a home fitness invention, I’m told. He now is trying to negotiate a nine-figure contract with NFL teams, who are being told they’re not allowed to negotiate with him because he’s not a certified agent,” NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported.
Taking to Twitter, Jackson dismissed the notion that Francis was working with him or trying to negotiate for him. He said that Francis never tried to negotiate for him.
“Stop Lying that man never tried to negotiate for me,” Jackson wrote, adding some laughing emojis.
Jackson’s response has gone viral with over 5,000 likes, 1,500 retweets and 560,000 views in just a few minutes. Fans are having a real laugh at how obscene the situation has become.

With no agent of his own, people have apparently been coming out of the literal woodwork to try and play the part of mediator between him and an NFL team.
This whole situation with Jackson just gets crazier by the day.
