Amid rumors that the Seattle Seahawks might be willing to move star wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has a message for the Pro Bowl wideout.
Taking to Twitter, Jackson called on Metcalf to join the Ravens. Jackson said that Metcalf would be welcome to the team “with open arms” and complimented him too.
“[DK Metcalf] slide (up). We got them Guyz but you can slide to we welcome everyone here with open arms you definitely one of them Guyz as well,” Jackson wrote.
In a follow-up tweet, Jackson took back what he said, realizing that people would start speculating and rumor-mongering. But he hoped that people would let him use Twitter the way he wants to.
“Ight my bad I shouldn’t have tweeted that cause now people gone speculate all type of stuff,” Jackson wrote, adding a ROFL emoji. “Hey but it’s Twitter let me tweet”
The Baltimore Ravens already have a pretty good corps of pass catchers. Tight end Mark Andrews and wide receiver Hollywood Brown both had over 1,000 receiving yards in 2021 and combined for 15 touchdowns.
Adding a receiver like D.K. Metcalf could potentially supercharge the Ravens offense.
Maybe the Ravens should see if he can be had at a decent price for them. Then again, they would probably have to pay Metcalf immediately
which may be difficult given the state of their contract negotiations with Lamar Jackson.
