Lamar Jackson does not appear to be at all happy that the Baltimore Ravens just traded away his No. 1 receiver.

During Day 1 of the NFL Draft on Thursday, the Ravens pulled a shocker by trading Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to the Arizona Cardinals in a deal involving multiple draft picks as well.

Jackson then went on to retweet an obscene message from a fan in response to the deal. You can see a screenshot of Jackson’s retweet here.

The former NFL MVP Jackson also reposted a message from Brown himself that read, “Wish I coulda played with my brotha forever but ima see you at the top” and tagged Jackson in the post. Jackson replied with a couple of crossed finger emojis.

Just last month, Jackson had tweeted a strong negative reaction to the idea of the Ravens potentially trading Brown.

Excuse my French real quick sir…. But HELL NAW https://t.co/uf1KyvaB8R

Though tight end Mark Andrews technically led the Ravens in receiving in 2021, the former-first-round pick Brown had been Jackson’s top wideout for the last several years since Brown arrived in 2019. As for what comes next for Baltimore, they drafted safety Kyle Hamilton with the No. 14 pick this year and then center Tyler Linderbaum with the No. 25 pick they got from trading Brown. That means Jackson will definitely have to search for a new No. 1 receiver, perhaps a player he was recently recruiting in D.K. Metcalf.
