The Ravens shook things up on Thursday night, starting with a trade that sent receiver Marquis Brown to the Cardinals for a first-round pick that eventually became center Tyler Linderbaum. Quarterback Lamar Jackson didn’t seem to be thrilled with those developments.

First, Jackson retweeted a message expressing dismay and apoplexy, with profanity, regarding the decision to trade Brown.

After Linderbaum was picked, Jackson tweeted, “Wtf.”

The moves come at a time when Jackson has refused to engage the team on a long-term deal. If he doesn’t agree with the draft strategy, that won’t make him any more anxious to stick around.

  1. Ravens should get rid of their RB posing as a QB…he surely won’t be worth the bank breaking $$$ he will want next year.

    Next years draft will have great QB depth, find someone who won’t choke in a clutch game and can develop in their arm not their feet

  2. Boo hoo. They got two excellent players, are obviously big winners in this draft. Grow up Lamar.

  3. LOL Lamar crying hard. It’s ok buddy, now Brown will actually have a QB throwing to him instead of an overrated running back.

  4. A center will help his O-line to keep him in the pocket where he is a solid pock…oh. yeah, wasted pick.

  5. Nice way to welcome a guy that is supposed to help keep you from getting pounded into a pulp.

  6. You should have signed that contract Lamar. Now your numbers will look pedestrian.

  7. When’s the last time a franchise QB publicly said “WTF” in response to a draft pick? Especially one that directly relates to helping the QB? Who does that?

    The team drafts the guy who is there to be a rock in front of him and protect him, and he says “WTF”??

    This is not how a leader behaves. Very disappointing response by Jackson.

    The Ravens had arguably the best first round of any team. That he can’t see that shows how he views his own team.

  8. Hey Lamar, maybe if you’d sign that extension and open up some cap room for free agent signings and you won’t need to make stupid tweets?

    ________

    Aaron Rodgers two years ago.

  10. You know what this means … Tomorrow all Ravens pictures and logos will be deleted from his social media accounts.

  11. Harbaugh, your current QB situation is why you cant win a playoff game. A running QB can’t beat the better teams. Wait until your team faces the AFC and NFC west…

  12. Jackson’s afraid now with the best center in the draft he might have to throw the football more instead of running

  13. Tweety bird Lamar is unhappy and wants everyone to know it. Did he go to the school of Aarron Rodgers team building?

  14. The strategy makes perfect sense. They know Lamar can’t throw downfield, so no need for Hollywood. Play small ball, run it, and throw to TEs to limit the endless turnovers Lamar was producing. Win on defense because you’re not going to score many points on offense. Lamar and Ravens fans might not understand this because they still believe he can actually throw the ball, but DeCosta knows what he is doing. A new center helps limit pressure on Lamar which totally exposed him last year.

  15. Once again, Lamar gets treated like no other QB. QBs express dismay time after time when losing their top receiver, but now that Lamar does it, he’s immature and a malcontent. Most wins at the age of 24 of any player in NFL history and NFL MVP. Put some respect on his name!

  16. Can anyone name a current Ravens WR anymore? This season may go down like the Tebow-Broncos years. Just throw the ball 7 times a game

  17. How is it that Lamar is blindsided by the trade? Hollywood requested a trade and the Ravens obliged. I thought Hollywood and Lamar were tight? Hollywood did not fit the Ravens scheme because he seemingly hated contact. An offensive scheme driven by trying to play up Lamar’s strengths. Lamar says he wants to stay in Baltimore but his actions betray him.

  18. RD 1 grade for Baltimore = A

    Their Franchise QB’s very public response to team’s draft = F

    =====================
    To suggest fans aren’t calling other QBs “immature and a malcontent” is wholly inaccurate not to mention completely wrong. If anything he’s being treated like every other QB acting like they have any say in the draft.

  20. How does a QB come out and publicly slag a 1st round draft pick who was chosen to keep him from getting hurt? Especially when the kid in question is regarded by many to be a once-in-a-decade type of player at his position? That is negative leadership and a swipe not only on the draftee but the GM who made the pick. Bad, bad look for Lamar.

    When will some people learn teams win games not individual players!

  22. “Once again, Lamar gets treated like no other QB.” Oh yeah? Look at Baker getting dragged over the coals and he played injured all last year.

  23. Ravens fan here. Lamar Jackson is a great wide receiver playing QB. Run heavy offense in Baltimore, with a lack of passing accuracy is why the Ravens won’t be able to attract or keep real talent at the receiver position, which is why Brown wanted out of Baltimore. I was very disappointed with the trade but I understand why it happened.
