Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson appeared to troll former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber on Monday after reports that Ravens safety Geno Stone would be joining the rival Cincinnati Bengals in free agency.
Jackson responded to a report of Stone’s deal on X, and jokingly called out his former teammate for joining one of Baltimore’s fiercest foes. It seems he was also taking an apparent shot at Barber, who earlier Monday offered a critical response to the news that Saquon Barkley had agreed to a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
“You’re Dead to us, You’re Dead to me,” wrote Jackson on X, echoing the comments Barber made during “Evan and Tiki” on WFAN radio on Monday.

Barber and the radio show’s co-hosts were none too pleased after Barkley agreed to leave New York and join the Eagles, and their rage prompted the comical response from Jackson. Stone also chimed in on X with a funny NSFW response of his own.
Stone played four seasons in Baltimore after being drafted in the seventh round in 2020 out of Iowa. He started 11 games last season, recording seven interceptions and 68 tackles, both of which were career highs. Now heading to Cincinnati and thus staying in the division, Stone figures to face off against his former team twice yearly.
