Saints’ Tyrann Mathieu reacts to Ravens using franchise tag on Lamar Jackson: ‘Feel some kind of way about it’

The Baltimore Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson failed to come to an agreement on a long-term extension. As a result, the team placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson on Tuesday.

Jackson is now worth $32.41 million for next season. Jackson, who is not represented by an agent, can now talk to other NFL teams starting next week.

But, Tyrone Mathieu, aka The Honey Badger, took to Twitter to express his displeasure about the ongoing situation in Baltimore.

Another NFL defensive back, Philadelphia Eagles five-time Pro Bowler Darius Slay, agreed with Mathieu’s assessment of the situation.

“The facts!!!” Slay wrote in response to Matthew.

Mathieu’s team is no longer in the running for Jackson, as the Saints opted to sign veteran quarterback Derek Carr to a four-year contract on Monday.
