Stephen A. Speaks


Stephen A. has always had some very strong opinions about Lamar Jackson. Simply put, he loves the Ravens quarterback. However, he believes the Ravens should just straight-up trade him. With their contract dispute in mind, Smith believes it would just be simpler for the Ravens to get rid of their QB.

"Let me be clear. Lamar Jackson is an electrifying talent that I want on my team any day of the week," Smith began. "If you're the Baltimore Ravens, clearly there is difficulty in getting him inked to a long-term deal. [...] I would strongly look into what assets I could get for Lamar Jackson. Because I could get the house for this brother."

A Lamar Jackson trade would be wild for numerous reasons. There is no doubt that the haul the Ravens would receive would be incredible. Although, it still remains to be seen what will happen here.
