Report: Patriots unsurprisingly not expected to pursue Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson this offseason

The Baltimore Ravens raised quite a bit of eyebrows when they opted to place the non-exclusive franchise tag on pending free agent Lamar Jackson. The fifth-year quarterback is therefore available for other teams to pursue after the start of free agency on March 15.

However, several teams have already come out to deny rumors that they would come after him. Now, another team can be added to the list: the New England Patriots are not expected to come after Jackson, according to a report by MassLive’s Mark Daniels.

The Patriots deciding against trying to bring Jackson aboard should not come as too big a surprise.
