On the first day of April, come and see what happens
The Ravens cut star quarterback Lamar Jackson
On Thursday, US time, according to NFL Network reporter Mop report: Due to the difficulty of reaching a contract extension negotiation, the Baltimore Ravens decided to part ways with their star quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Jackson was picked by the Ravens in the 2018 draft with a first-round No. 32 pick and grew into the absolute core of the Ravens after a season. In the 2019 season, second-year Jackson won the MVP of the NFL in one fell swoop. His athletic prowess also makes him the most special quarterback in the league.
The Ravens' act of cutting Jackson stemmed from two reasons: on the one hand, they were exhausted in the contract extension negotiations with Jackson and decided not to try again; at the same time, they wanted to free up the team's salary space to trade San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Gallo pollo.
The Jets spent seven rounds on a draw to get Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
On Thursday, according to NFL Network reporter Mop Report: Kansas City Chiefs traded star quarterback Patrick Mahomes to the New York Jets, and in return they will get seven round picks for this year's draft, a big Mac one-year eating pass, and thirty packs of cubits of gummy bears.
The Chiefs traded upwards to the tenth pick in the 2017 draft to pick their favourite quarterback Mahomes. Mahomes secured the Chiefs' starters in the second season of his career, and won the MVP in one fell swoop with 5,097 yards and 50 pass touchdowns that season. In the following season, Mahomes led the team to the 54th Super Bowl, and finally won the 54th Super Bowl MVP.
It was the Chiefs' second deal this offseason that shocked the entire NFL. Not long ago, they traded the team's number one outsider, "Cheetah" Terrick Hill. In response, Chief General Manager Brett Vech said: "Yes, we are preparing a break-up meal, which is why we added Gummy Bear to our trading chips. Thirty packs, not one less pack.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid is much more optimistic: I don't think it's a failed deal. Nothing can stop my love of the Big Mac, not even Mahomes. When they offered to give us a big Mac one-year voucher, I knew the deal was set.
The Broncos sign veteran quarterback Cam Newton
On Thursday, US time, according to the NFL Network reporter Mop report, the Denver Broncos will sign the "old superman" Cam Newton, who is currently unemployed at home, in the near future.
Newton, 32, spent the first nine years of his career with the Carolina Panthers, with the 2015 season being the most impressive. In the 2015 season, Newton won the NFL's MVP and led the regular season 15-1 Black Panthers to the Super Bowl. Interestingly, the Panthers ended up losing to Newton's new owner, the Broncos, at the Super Bowl.
Although the Broncos traded for former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson a few weeks ago, the team was not happy with Wilson's athletic form. There are even rumors that the new Mustang coach Nathaniel Hackett once spat on Wilson with a trumpet on social media. However, Hackett denied this, suggesting that the team may use the double quarterback tactic frequently next season.
Happy April Fool's Day!
