Lamar's tweet was interesting... I wonder if he would do a 3 year deal if it was 100% guaranteed? It's less total $$ but in 3 years he would be able to cash in again for even more, one would think.

as many have said, there's really no "making up the lost money" for Lamar He could have had 40+ million more the past 2 seasons. Whatever he gets going forward he would have had anyway, on top of that extra 40+ million. He is getting paid pennies on the dollar so far, which sucks to see. He's sticking to his principles, which I respect, but I just want to see the man get his $$ and maybe even go the NFC

Rodgers won't confirm anything is my though. How could he? At BEST he will say he's not going to retire, but unless the trade is official he won't come out and say he's going to be a Jet.

same... how come Brady got 150 years of Cleo Lemon, Mark Sanchez, trent edwards, Losman, Chad Pennington types in the AFC East?! Meanwhile we get 2 super teams in our division and the fumes of the Evil Empire!

I had a dream that Rodgers retired and it seemed so real I had to double check that it wasn't already announced.

To be honest I'm not sure... my favorite option is to draft a WR early I don't follow Hopkins enough maybe... Either way I could do without either but if we get 1 I would take Nuke over OBJ

Hopkins had a PED suspension I think, which I care about a lot less.

Beane and McDermott love to trade for/draft RBs for the bench. Someone has to stand on the sidelines in street clothes

I would still rather have Nuke over a guy who tore his same ACL twice already and comes with drama.

I'm not a fan at all of this idea... Trade for Nuke instead. Better player

maybe some of the rumors about serious locker room issues were true...

I'm rooting for Lamar and want him to get a bigger contract than Watson because IMO he deserves it. The way Lamar plays and the way teams use him in their offense it makes sense to want the guaranteed money. From the team side, you're probably paying it out anyway. Plus it's more interesting to me if he goes to another team. It's a story. Same with Rodgers.

Judging by the fact that no teams were allowed to talk to Lamar before the tag was applied, and within an hour a half dozen QB needy teams came out to say they weren't interested seems a bit fishy. But who knows... It looks bad though.

I think this is going to blow up into an enormous firestorm that is going to look terrible for the NFL. I would be apoplectic if the Bills were in the Falcons or Panthers spot and came immediately out to say they weren't interested. No discussion even. No meetings. Just zero interest.

If Lamar sits out the entire year would he become a free agent? Technically what's stopping the USFL or XFL from offering him $10 million dollars to play this spring to help tide him over this season while generating huge PR for their league? I just want to see Lamar stick it to the Ravens and the league at this point. This is straight up BS.

This is going to be a lot of fun to follow, and I hope some NFC team makes Lamar the highest paid player in NFL history. Makes the AFC a little easier, and Lamar gets a serious payday. If you look at SpotTrac he was making peanuts (like 1 million or so per season until his 5th year option) while the Ravens ran him into the ground. I can't blame the man for wanting to get his guaranteed money.

the way these stories go he should be a Panther by tonight.

Ravens should put the non-exclusive tag, let Lamar go find another team's best offer, then just match it and say "see, you got top market $$" Theoretically, could another team sign Lamar to an offer sheet that, for example, gave him a $5 million bonus for every game played in Baltimore as a poison pill to stop the Ravens from matching?

only if he's 330+ pounds. Otherwise, nope.

Can you imagine short yardage.... Henry or Allen? Pick your poison! I just hope that IF this happens we pace the man so that he's fresh and ready for January football in Buffalo. Play him the minimum amount needed to win games in September, October and November.

this would be incredible! Henry on this offense gives us two huge, freakishly athletic men on offense to worry about.

There's something amiss with Diggs. When he tried to leave the stadium without even meeting with the team post-game after the Bengals loss, plus the blowup at Allen on the sidelines it was a bad sign that there are some serious issues here. IF there is a real issue here and we could get a 1st rounder from Dallas then maybe you make the move.

Great point. One one hand I get guys maximizing their value. On the other, there's a limit. Would a QB like Burrow or Lamar accept a 5 year $200 million contract if it was 100% guaranteed, rather than a longer term, higher $$ deal without as much guaranteed?

maybe Love gets traded to the Jets then? IMO it's hilarious how wrong the first reports always are. Carr is leaning toward the Jets.... Deal with Saints could be done today! Watson is going to be a Falcon, Browns are out of the mix.... Watson to the Browns!

whoever drops the Lombardi trophy into Lake Erie during the mid-February Super Bowl parade/flotilla and causes a bunch of heavily intoxicated players to jump into the icy waters after it
