When it comes to Lamar Jackson’s trade request, the Atlanta Falcons have already professed they’re not interested. The Indianapolis Colts and Jim Irsay have said they don’t want to pay him the money he wants.
In fact, several teams have already long bowed out from the potential Jackson sweepstakes. It’s a curious predicament considering that some of these squads should … really be looking into Jackson! Quarterbacks like this don’t grow on trees.
Steven Ruiz, a former For The Win writer, compiled Jackson’s career statistics against the teams and coaches who have said they want nothing to do with the electric quarterback. The results were staggering: Jackson has lit all of them up with his arm and legs.:

Phew. Look at those numbers. You’d think these organizations would remember when Jackson took them to the woodshed, but alas.
Jackson caught wind of these statistics and responded accordingly. He seemed to tease a measure of vengeance on those who don’t want him on their team.
I can’t wait to see you all 😉 https://t.co/UaJ1wXW3Jp

I don’t know about you, but Jackson might be one of the last quarterbacks I want to make angry. Wherever he plays next, this potential “revenge” tour has the potential to be spectacular.
