Lamar Jackson: ‘I Need $’ photos not message to Ravens. He’s hopeful for new deal before season.

 Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson says the reason his social media accounts feature a photo that reads “I Need $” is because he loves the movie it came from. It’s not, he says, a message to the Ravens regarding his ongoing contract negotiations before the 2022 season.

Jackson made news on social media this weekend after he changed his Instagram profile picture and the header on his Twitter account to a photo that could insinuate otherwise.

The photo comes from a character in the movie “How High,” which stars rappers Method Man and Redman, named I Need Money, who wears a gold grill on his teeth with the words “I Need $.”
