The Lamar Jackson saga appears to be far from over as the quarterback seeks to secure a lucrative contract in the wake of getting franchise-tagged by the Baltimore Ravens.
Earlier this week, it was reported that an individual who is not NFLPA certified was contacting teams on behalf of Jackson in an attempt to trigger a trade.
The NFL has since sent a memo to all 32 teams telling them a man named Ken Francis might reach out to them looking to negotiate a deal for the QB while warning them not to engage in discussions as he is not a certified agent.
Jackson took to Twitter to deny this and has since gone on to make an announcement, revealing that he and Francis are business partners who are starting a home fitness company.
The former MVP also dropped a short commercial to introduce what he calls “The Entire Gym,” which looks to be a bunch of weights and other exercise equipment users could set up almost anywhere.

It’s now being suggested that the rumor about Francis contacting teams was put out there on purpose to get some buzz for the product. If so, it was genius.
As for his future in the NFL, Jackson is no closer to landing a trade though free to negotiate with teams under the non-exclusive tag. The fact that he does not have an agent has played a major role in the lack of interest.
