The Lamar Jackson 'Fake Agent' Saga: A Marketing Ploy for a Home Gym?

The NFLPA sent a memo to teams instructing them not to do business with a “Ken Francis,” saying that Francis was working on behalf of Lamar Jackson, and any offer sheet attached to Francis’ involvement could be found void. It turns out that Ken Francis is the CEO of “The Entire Gym,” a portable home workout machine with a Bluetooth speaker attached, and he and Jackson are business partners. The bizarre saga could have been a misunderstanding, a case of Jackson and Francis getting caught, or a viral marketing campaign for “The Entire Gym.”

Lamar Jackson and the NFL's Agent Warning.

Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, called the NFL liars after a memo was sent to all 32 teams warning them to stay away from his business partner, Ken Francis, who allegedly tried to negotiate a backdoor deal for Jackson without being certified by the NFL Players Association. Jackson is currently shopping a $32.4 million nonexclusive franchise tag placed on him by the Ravens, which allows him to pursue a better or matching deal with another team. While there has not yet been a serious offer for Jackson, he has been linked to several teams, including the Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, and Houston Texans.

NFL warns teams against negotiating with Lamar Jackson's non-certified agent

The NFL sent a memo to all teams warning them not to negotiate with Ken Francis on behalf of Lamar Jackson, but Jackson disputed the report on social media, stating that Francis never tried to negotiate for him. Jackson is seeking a multiyear lucrative deal with the Baltimore Ravens, who placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him in early March. The Ravens and Jackson have until July 17 to reach an extension. Jackson has been with the Ravens since the franchise selected him No. 32 overall in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft and has amassed impressive stats.
