Lamar Jackson Rips 'False Narrative,' Says He Loves Ravens

Mar 30, 2022 10:26 PM

Lamar Jackson is refuting speculation that he wants to leave the Baltimore Ravens.

Amid stalled negotiations on a long-term contract and uncertainty over whether Jackson has his sights set on free agency in 2025, the quarterback tweeted that he loves the Ravens and cited a "false narrative" that he is considering leaving the franchise.

The tweet comes during a time in which Jackson has reportedly shown no interest in discussing a long-term deal.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Eric DeCosta have both said this offseason that the team is committed to signing Jackson long term.

The deal is for four years, per a source, and the first two years are fully guaranteed.

49ers Don't Expect To Cut Jimmy Garoppolo

Mar 28, 2022 3:03 PM

While the San Francisco 49ers have yet to trade Jimmy Garoppolo, the team doesn't envision a scenario where he is cut.

"I don't foresee that," John Lynch said. "He's too good a player. I think Jimmy will be playing for us or will be playing for someone else. He's too good of a player not to be."

According to Lynch, the biggest reason Garoppolo has yet to be traded is simple: The Niners have not received a formal offer. 

While other quarterbacks began to move in trades and signings around the league, Lynch said Garoppolo's right shoulder surgery is what caused interested teams to put pursuit of him on hold.

"I think, ultimately, the teams that we were closest with, the surgery gave them pause and they ended up going in other directions," Lynch said.

Titans Want To Sign A.J. Brown To Long-Term Deal

Mar 28, 2022 8:54 AM

A.J. Brown is entering the final year of his rookie contract with the Tennessee Titans.

Brown will earn $3.986 million in 2022, less than nearly four dozen receivers in the NFL.

Jon Robinson intends to change that at some point in the coming months. He said at NFL's Annual League Meeting that the two sides have had only preliminary talks on a contract extension.

"Right now, we are just trying to get through this free agency period, seeing where we've landed cap-wise," Robinson said.

"A.J. is an important part of what we do. He's a great teammate, he works hard, he's about what we're about. A.J. is a Titan and we want to keep A.J. a Titan. And that's part of our goal this offseason, or whenever that manifests itself, to come to an agreement to keep him around."

Bills Don't Foresee Stefon Diggs' Contract Being As Issue

Mar 28, 2022 8:48 AM

The Buffalo Bills don't believe Stefon Diggs' contract will become an issue.

The receiver's current five-year, $72 million deal runs through the 2023 season. Since the deal was reached the market for receivers has been reset, now making Diggs look underpaid.

"We've got Stefon for two years so we know that. At the right time we'll work with his reps and see if there's something to be done that works for him," Brandon Beane said.

"He's a winner. He's all in on winning and, sure, everybody wants to be paid but he wants to be on a winning team. I think he’s been the best version of himself. So I don't see that being an issue."
