The Baltimore Ravens made a surprising decision on Thursday night trading Marquise Brown away to the Arizona Cardinals. However, after the deal was done, news dropped that Brown had requested a trade, to begin with. Now, the young wide receiver opens up about his relationship with Lamar Jackson and what it means to leave Baltimore.

According to Josh Weinfuss, Marquise Brown has been in communication with Lamar Jackson frequently about this decision. It sounds like the two are still friends even though Brown is playing for the Cardinals now. We'll see how it plays out for both teams, but at least these two don't have any hard feelings towards each other.

We will no longer see the hilarious antics pulled from Marquise Brown and Lamar Jackson during the regular season. It's unfortunate from an entertainment point of view, but it sounds like Brown's departure from Baltimore was the best decision for his career. Additionally, the Cardinals are excited to acquire the young receiver. Especially considering Kyler Murray is friends with Brown as well.

The Cardinals upgrade their wide receiver room, as DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown lead the way. Kyler Murray should be thrilled with this offense, as Arizona made big improvements this offseason. For the Ravens, the front office is making some changes, but with multiple picks in Day 2 of the NFL Draft, Baltimore can find a competent receiver in the second or third rounds.

Keep an eye on the Cardinals, as this team aims to make some noise in the 2022 season.
