During the latest edition of "The Lombardi Line," the former NFL general manager said Jackson told the Ravens to acquire both Odell Beckham Jr. and DeAndre Hopkins. If those alleged demands were met, he'd apparently talk about a long-term extension.
"I was told reliably by somebody who's involved that Lamar told them in a conversation, 'get Hopkins and get Beckham, and then we can talk.' The club went back to them and said look, we can't get Hopkins and Beckham. We just can't afford both, but we'll get one of them - and they got Beckham," Lombardi said.
Lombardi said a trade involving Hopkins would be complicated because he wants a raise.
That being said, Ravens fans would love to see Hopkins in Baltimore this fall.
