Lamar Jackson’s sad Ben Affleck meme had NFL fans convinced he was referring to contract mess

Jackson doesn’t appear to be hiding his frustrations.

We’ll soon be entering Week 3 of Lamar Jackson’s contract fiasco with the Baltimore Ravens, but really, this saga has gone on for a while.

And the stress appears to be getting to the superstar quarterback.

After Jackson refuted a claim that a fake agent was reaching out to NFL teams on his behalf, he seemed to share a status update on his thoughts about the mess in Baltimore. He posted a Ravens-themed meme of an exhausted Ben Affleck smoking a cigarette while wearing his No. 8 jersey.

While it’s impossible to discern precisely what Jackson meant with the meme, it was presumably in joking reference to his ongoing standoff with Baltimore:

Honestly, if this is what Jackson meant, I find it hard to disagree. I’d probably be worn down by an ongoing PR battle/war of words in public, too. This sort of stress can understandably wear a person down.

NFL fans on Twitter felt for Jackson, as they thought he was referring to his contract mess.
