The Ravens later selected Iowa Hawkeyes’ Tyler Linderbaum with the number 25 they received from Arizona.
But Lamar Jackson wasn’t too thrilled with the front office’s decision.

In March, Baltimore’s star quarterback made known his feelings about a potential trade that would see Brown sent to the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Excuse my quick French sir… But HELL NAW!” Jackson wrote on Twitter.
Unfortunately for Jackson, a deal involving Brown became a reality when Jackson and his former recipient parted ways.

Despite his displeasure, Jackson made it clear he wasn’t upset about the addition of Linderbaum.

On the other side of the trade, Kyler Murray, Budda Baker and JJ Watt celebrated the arrival of their new wide receiver.

The trade allows for a reunion for Murray and Brown, who were teammates at the Oklahoma Sooners. The two combined for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2018, and Murray won the Heisman Trophy before being the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Brown was later selected as 25th overall.
