Antonio Brown is a name that is always making its way through the rumor mill, especially as it pertains to free agency. Brown is currently without a team, however, he is one of if not the best wide receivers in the entire NFL. With this in mind, there is no doubt that there is a team that will take a waiver out on him, eventually.
For the last few weeks, there have been rumors that Brown could end up on the Baltimore Ravens. This was after the wide receiver was seen working out with current NFL MVP, Lamar Jackson. Recently, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta was asked about signing Brown and as he subtly explained, nothing is off the table.
“We’re always assessing the players out there on the streets,” DeCosta said. “We’re looking at guys, we’re making decisions that we think are best for the clubs. If we think there’s a guy out there who fits us, who’s got the skill set to provide value, we’ll certainly pounce on that kind of guy. As Ozzie always used to tell me, we don’t play games until September. So, we’ve got a lot of time to build the best team we can build and we’ll continue to do that. I look at this time period right here after the draft as a great opportunity to get better as a football team and we will look to do that.”
It remains to be seen whether or not Brown is picked up for next season so stay tuned for updates as we will bring you all of the latest news.
Lamar Jackson Speaks On Possible Ravens-Antonio Brown Signing
Antonio Brown has expressed interest in Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, in the past.
Antonio Brown is an athlete who has been through a lot of ups and downs over the past year. Unfortunately, there have been a lot more down but the NFL wide receiver is determined to change that in 2020. He has been working out at home every day and is always close by his phone in case a team calls. Over the past few weeks, there have been little rumblings here and there that Brown might be setting his sights on the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, he perpetuated those rumors just under a month ago.
Today, the new face of Madden 21, Lamar Jackson, was doing a Q&A session on the Baltimore Ravens Twitter account when all of a sudden, he was asked about his team potentially signing Brown. The MVP quarterback was very direct with his answer noting that he would be happy about it although it's not something he can control or even outright demand.
Jackson was dominant last season when it came to throwing and running the football. His team went 14-2 and all they were really missing was a superstar wide receiver. Brown would certainly be that missing piece and if he joined an already stacked offense, the Ravens would easily become Super Bowl favorites.
Stay tuned for updates on NFL free agency as we will be sure to bring them to you.
Lamar Jackson Confirms He’s The Face of "Madden 21"
Lamar Jackson will be the latest athlete to grace the cover of the popular Madden NFL franchise.
EA Sports is one of the most well-known video game companies in the entire world thanks to their yearly sports titles. One of their most popular games is the Madden series which always gets football fans riled up. Every single year, gamers anticipate the unveiling of which player will grace the cover. Over the years, there has been the "Madden curse" which typically leads to misfortune for those who end up on the cover. The most recent victim was Antonio Brown who was on the cover of Madden 19. Patrick Mahomes was the face of Madden 20 and still won the Super Bowl so the curse isn't an exact science.
Today, during a Q&A session on the Baltimore Ravens Twitter account, Lamar Jackson revealed that he would be the face of the next iteration, Madden 21. This makes a whole lot of sense when you consider he is the reigning MVP and had a dominant season in 2019.
Jackson was questioned about the Madden curse and whether or not he is worried about it. As he explains, it worked out fine for Patrick Mahomes so he's not thinking about it too much. Not to mention, being on the cover of Madden has always been a dream of his.
Overall, EA Sports couldn't have picked a better player.
Lamar Jackson Receives Peculiar Endorsement From Donald Trump
Lamar Jackson and Donald Trump combine for a crossover no one expected.
Lamar Jackson has proven himself to be an exceptional talent on the football field over the past few years. Last season, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback ended up winning the NFL MVP trophy although his season stalled out in the playoffs despite being the favorites to go out and win the Super Bowl. Now, Jackson is enjoying his time off before he has to go back to training camp before the start of the 2020 season.
Recently, Jackson was minding his business on Twitter when he was reminded of the time Jaire Alexander, his college teammate, had a heartwarming reaction to Jackson being drafted by the Ravens. Jackson commented on the video and immediately received a ringing endorsement from President Donald Trump who called the Ravens superstar a "great pick." Jackson took note of the President's kind words and said "Truzz Trump."
As you can imagine, Jackson's replies became a cesspool of people taking the acknowledgment the wrong way. Now, fans are claiming that Jackson is a MAGA supporter although it's impossible to know that based on his two-word tweet. Regardless, we live in sensitive times and when the President is divisive, these are the kinds of reactions you get.
We're sure Jackson didn't expect his tweet to get so much traction but such is life in the world of a professional athlete.
Lamar Jackson’s High School Highlights Will Leave You Speechless
Lamar Jackson was an absolute problem this past season and in high school, he was a nightmare.
Lamar Jackson has proven himself to be one of the most dynamic talents in the NFL and his efforts as the quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens, paid off last season. He won the MVP award while proving himself to be one of the best QBs in the league. Unfortunately, his Ravens were bounced out of the playoffs in the divisional round, despite being favorites to win the Super Bowl. We haven't been able to see Jackson play in two months now and it will be quite a while before he is back out on the field.
Luckily for us, some of his high school highlights recently made their way to social media and we can't get enough of them. The clip below features some incredible moves from Jackson as he dekes out defenders and goes for long runs that result in touchdowns. Based on these highlights, it becomes apparent as to how natural a talent Jackson really is.
Since there are no sports on right now, we figured these highlights would cheer you up, at least just a little bit. We can't wait for football season to return in the fall and hopefully by then, the Coronavirus will have simmered down and we will all be back to the regularly scheduled programming.
As for Jackson, he is poised to have another great season in Baltimore.
Antonio Brown Has Two Words For Possibly Joining The Ravens
Antonio Brown is now a free agent who is looking for potential suitors.
When Antonio Brown isn't engaging in antics that are detrimental to his career, he is actually one of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL. Some feel like Brown could be one of the greatest of all time although his off the field issues have guaranteed that it will never happen, at least not in the immediate future. Brown is now a free agent and can go wherever he wants. The only issue is that he is at the complete mercy of the NFL. His behavior has made teams want to avoid him and there is no guarantee that the league will let him play should he get a new contract.
While surfing on Instagram recently, Brown was met with the possibility of signing with the Baltimore Ravens and playing with MVP winner Lamar Jackson. Brown had two words for this as he said "Scary Site." Of course, he meant "sight" but we digress. This writer has definitely made some spelling mistakes in his time and you commenters are never shy to point them out.
Brown would certainly be a huge addition to the Ravens as he would bolster their offense and provide an elite weapon for Jackson on the perimeter. Not to mention, Brown would get to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers twice since both teams are divisional rivals.
While this scenario might be a fantasy, for now, it's certainly interesting to think about.
Lamar Jackson Files Lawsuit Against Amazon Over Fake Clothing
Lamar Jackson is claiming that clothes with his nicknames are being sold on Amazon without his permission.
Lamar Jackson became a breakout star in the NFL last season thanks to his dual-threat capabilities with the Baltimore Ravens. Jackson won the MVP award and was given various nicknames such as “Action Jackson,” “Lamarvelous,” and “Not bad for a running back.” These are all nicknames that are unique to the Ravens standout and as you can imagine, companies are already looking to profit on his likeness.
Jackson is already starting to feel the effects of this and according to TMZ, he has launched a lawsuit against Amazon for allowing third-party vendors to sell merchandise with his name and likeness. As Jackson explains, he never signed off on these designs and believes Amazon is on the hook for large amounts of money that he missed out on due to the profiteering of his name.

The quarterback is worried that fans purchasing the items believe he is behind them. This ultimately creates some confusion amongst consumers and Jackson wants to put a stop to it. In the lawsuit, Jackson is demanding that Amazon take the items down while also paying him damages. Jackson feels like his brand has been damaged due to this and is looking for a quick resolution.
Amazon has yet to respond to the lawsuit so stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Lamar Jackson Reveals What He Needs To Work On This Offseason
It’s always good to be self-aware.
Lamar Jackson was easily the best quarterback in football this past season. The NFL regular season was quite kind to Jackson as he led his team at a 14-2 record and the number one seed in the AFC. Jackson was phenomenal thanks to his abilities as a dual-threat quarterback who can both run and pass. Unfortunately for Jackson and the Ravens, they were quickly eliminated from the playoffs by the underdog Tennessee Titans.
In the aftermath of the loss, the Ravens were left wondering what went wrong. One could look at the Ravens’ gameplan which became incredibly pass-heavy after the team went down early. Either way, Jackson is already looking ahead to next season and believes he knows exactly what to do in order to get his team back in a position to win. Jackson particularly spoke on what he needs to improve.

“Everything. I’m not the best, I’m not the greatest,” Jackson said according to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “I’m going into my third year, and I’m trying to get somewhere. I’m trying to get to the Super Bowl. So I gotta work on everything.”
Jackson certainly has a great foundation, especially as a young player. He still has a ton of time to develop so if you’re a Ravens fan, there are plenty of reasons to still be excited about this team.

“He’s 23 years old. He’s younger than Joe Burrow, OK?” Harbaugh said at his end-of-season news conference, according to ESPN. “So he’s got a pretty good head start right now. I mean, he’s along the way.”
Jackson has been criticized for a lackluster performance in his second career playoff start. He recorded only one touchdown and two interceptions.
“The Manning brothers combined to … they had five losses in their first five playoff games before they won one” Harbaugh continued. “[Joe] Montana, [Steve] Young and [Brett] Favre didn’t start a playoff game until their third season. [Drew] Brees and [Troy] Aikman until their fourth season, and [Aaron] Rodgers until his fifth season. Interesting.”
The Ravens lost to the Titans 28-12 in the divisional round. It was a shock for Ravens’ fans who expected a Super Bowl appearance after the team went 14-2 during the regular season.
There are only four remaining teams in the NFL playoffs. The Titans matchup against the Chiefs at 3:05 PM on Sunday and the Packers play against the 49ers at 6:40 PM on Sunday. The two winners will play each other in the Super Bowl on February 2nd.

No other information was provided and ESPN says the Ravens will have more information as the day goes on.
The Ravens lost in a shocking blow out 28-12. “I think you have to look at yourself in the mirror, and I think this team’s identity right now is to get in the playoffs and choke,” Ravens’ cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. “It is what it is. This is just the hard truth.”
Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson added, “I don’t really care about what they say. This is my second year in the league. Most people [aren’t] able to bring it to the playoffs. I don’t really worry about [what] people say. We’re going to keep going [and] get ready for next year.”
Two people were found dead during 2019 at M&T Bank Stadium in port-a-potties, one in February and one in December.
