A vulgar tweet from Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, lashing out at a fan questioning his worth, went viral after Sunday’s 28-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Almost a half-hour after the Ravens’ last-minute defeat, their fourth late-game collapse of the season, a Twitter consumer tagged Jackson in a tweet: “When someone is asking for over 250 mil guaranteed like [Jackson] … games like this should not come to [kicker Justin Tucker]. Let Lamar walk [in free agency] and spend that money on a well rounded team.”
Jackson, a pending free agent, told ESPN earlier this season that he turned down an extension provide that had $160 million to $180 million assured. The whole worth of the reported five-year provide was greater than $250 million, a better common annual worth than the extensions signed this summer season by two Pro Bowl quarterbacks, the Denver Broncos’ Russell Wilson and Arizona Cardinals’ Kyler Murray.
Jackson, who went 16-for-32 for 254 yards and a landing and added 14 carries for a game-high 89 yards towards Jacksonville, appeared pissed off at instances in his postgame information convention. He appeared to make use of profane language after a reporter talked about in a query that Jackson had misplaced in his final journey to Jacksonville, a TaxSlayer Bowl loss with Louisville in December 2017 that proved to be his ultimate school sport. But Jackson was in any other case his standard poised, calm self.
About a half-hour later, although, Jackson responded to the tweet. He instructed the fan to “STFU” — “shut the [expletive] up” — and ended his remark with a vulgar insult. Before the message was deleted hours later, it had been retweeted hundreds of instances.
A Ravens spokesman didn’t reply to a message Sunday night time in search of touch upon the tweet. Ravens coach John Harbaugh is scheduled to deal with reporters Monday afternoon.
In 11 video games this season, Jackson has thrown for two,231 yards, 17 touchdowns and 7 interceptions and rushed for 755 yards (6.8 per carry) and three touchdowns. With the loss Sunday, the Ravens dropped right into a tie for first place within the AFC North with the Cincinnati Bengals.
