On Tuesday night, Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson posted a tweet on social media that had fans scrambling.
The football world saw Jackson post a gif on Twitter with just one emoji attached in the caption and devolved into chaos. Here’s the tweet in question, featuring SpongeBob smiling.

Did Lamar just sign a new contract? Did the Ravens go out and acquire another wide receiver in DeAndre Hopkins? The football world isn’t quite sure.
“Lamar is saying The Ravens traded for D-Hop,” one fan guessed.
“Wow this can only mean he signed an extension and the Ravens traded for Deandre Hopkins. This is official until I’m proven otherwise,” predicted another.
“This could be about a new pair of shoes. I’m not falling for it again,” joked a third.
Social media provides a glimpse into the lives of athletes, but it also tends to lead fans into madness trying to decipher an athlete’s post.
Perhaps we’ll just let this one play out.
