PHOENIX — Lamar Jackson didn’t have a team that was publicly interested in him — until Monday. But now the Indianapolis Colts are that team.
As expected.
And now it gets really interesting.
On the same day Jackson announced to the entire Earth he’s asked to be traded and Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh could not guarantee the team’s starting quarterback would return, it became open season for the star quarterback.
And the Colts are the first team to publicly admit they’re interested enough to do their homework on the matter.

There’s no QB controversy going on in Philadelphia as the Eagles’ front office anticipates a new contract for quarterback Jalen Hurts sooner than later.

Roseman highlighted the team’s plan to head into the 2023-24 season with Jalen Hurts no longer under a rookie deal.
He has a specific opponent in mind for Golden State.
While the Warriors haven’t officially clinched a playoff berth just yet, Draymond Green is already previewing some potential matchups for the first round.
If the season ended today, Golden State’s first-round playoff opponents would be the Kings, and that’s a matchup Green thinks bodes well for the Warriors.
On a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, Green revealed that he’s hoping the Warriors get matched up with Sacramento. He quickly clarified that it’s not due to a belief that Sacramento is a bad team.
In a matchup of upstarts that knocked off traditional powers UConn and Tennessee, No. 1 seed Virginia Tech and No. 3 Ohio State go for the last Final Four spot.
Green Bay’s general manager revealed the team’s asking price.
After Jets GM Joe Douglas was asked about a potential Aaron Rodgers trade, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst broached the subject later on Monday during a media address at the NFL owners meeting.
Via Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Gutekunst indicated that Green Bay is in no rush to push a Rodgers trade through and don’t have a timeline in place for a deal to get done, but indicated he’s hopeful something can be completed “soon.
Jimmy Garoppolo is the newest quarterback of the Raiders. The 31-year-old, who spent his first four seasons with New England, is reunited with Josh McDaniels in Las Vegas after signing as a free agent earlier this month.
Not long after signing, Garoppolo arrived in Sin City. He took a tour of the team facility at the (almost) three-year-old Allegiant Stadium, and immediately pandered to his new fanbase.
While checking out his new digs, Garoppolo encountered a mural that depicted the controversial “Tuck Rule Game” and immediately declared that the now-infamous play resulted in a fumble.
Don’t talk smack against Willie McGinest’s USC Trojans, or else he’ll snap and beat you with a bottle.

As TCU football continues its spring practice, its coaches are focused on more than just on-field results. The Horned Frogs staff is working to build great football players, and even better men.
Kaz Kazadi, who serves as the assistant athletic director for football human performance (strength and conditioning coach), is usually in charge of post-practice speeches, especially during the offseason. He often chooses to focus on a message that extends beyond the gridiron.
Earlier this year, Hodges spoke about keeping an edge.
The team gave the running back the franchise tag at the start of the offseason.
The Giants have been negotiating with running back Saquon Barkley since last year, but the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement. That led to New York giving Barkley the franchise tag after signing quarterback Daniel Jones long term.
While the two sides are still talking, those negotiations have appeared to change. General manager Joe Schoen said the team pulled their offer to Barkley, essentially resetting negotiations.
The Ravens quarterback made his desire to be traded public Monday morning.
News of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s March 2 trade request shook the NFL Monday morning, as the 2019 MVP publicly aired his grievances with Baltimore’s front office.
The ongoing intrigue around Jackson has led fans, writers and apparently at least one celebrity to share their thoughts on the situation. According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, rapper Meek Mill texted Patriots owner Robert Kraft and told him that Jackson wanted to play for New England.
