Robert Kraft poured gasoline on the Lamar Jackson-to-New England speculation with his comments Monday at the NFL annual meeting.
Speaking with reporters in Phoenix, Kraft revealed that rapper Meek Mill texted him last week and said Jackson wants to play for the Patriots.
“Meek Mill texted and said, ‘Lamar Jackson wants to come to the Patriots,’ ” Kraft told reporters, via MassLive.com. “I said, ‘That’s Bill Belichick’s decision.”
Those eye-popping remarks came shortly after Kraft offered a strong endorsement of Mac Jones. The Patriots owner said he’s a “big fan” of Jones and believes the young QB will benefit from the restructuring of New England’s offensive coaching staff.
