“Lamar Jackson is a great talent. It is a shame he is getting such bad advice. He is not going to get a fully guaranteed contract after he missed 10 games over the last two years. He should have signed a contract in 2020 after he won MVP. Not having an agent cost him millions.”

Jackson reiterated that anyone who knows him knows he loves the game of football and his dream is to help a team win a Super Bowl.
Now it looks like that’ll be in a different uniform in 2023.
