NFL World Is Trying to Decipher Lamar Jackson’s Cryptic Spongebob Meme Post
With the future of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson thoroughly up in the air as the NFL draft approaches, all eyes are on Baltimore with the most important position on the field remaining uncertain.
The Ravens used the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, which would pay the quarterback in excess of $34 million this season if he signed his tender. He has not signed it as he seeks an extension, and no team has been willing to tender an offer sheet to Jackson due to the steep price of two first-round picks that would have to go back to Baltimore if Jackson ended up elsewhere.
This made Jackson’s SpongeBob meme tweet all the more curious on Tuesday night. Nobody has any idea what to make of it.
Jackson tweeted a smiley face emoji while posting a smiling SpongeBob clip.

So naturally, the NFL world went into a frenzy. Could the smiley face mean that he’s close to a deal in Baltimore? Could it mean that he’s close to a deal elsewhere? Could it be totally unrelated?

That, of course, is up to the imagination until further notice, but that didn’t stop prominent NFL figures from tweeting about Jackson and what his tweet may mean. Here are the best reactions to the quarterback’s cryptic tweet:
