Mr. WEO Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Fan in Chicago said: (Warning: Random reference coming) The Rodgers drama reminds me of a particular dialog in Die Hard. Towards the end, where it becomes obvious that Hans (the terrorist) is collecting his haul from the safe, the Bonnie bedelia character says "so after all the posturing about justice, this was only about the money" 🙂 There is no such thing Doesn't change the fact that the Ravens didnt do him any favors by shipping off one of his main targets. I am not a LJ fan either but this makes little sense to me (less than the AJ Brown trade which was a $$ move) He doesn't? Yup! Lots of posters here bit on it...

It doesn’t matter what any of us think about Lamar. Trading away your QBs favorite receiver isn’t what a team that likes their QB does.

I would point at Green Bay but then the relationship between La Fleur and Rodgers has appeared, at the very least, strained for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar Jackson's situation is unique, since he's his own agent so I can only imagine how awkward it is trying to get a discount on a player right to his face.

NFC needs another good RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'd trade him if I were the Ravens. His value is extremely high right now and it's clear the team doesn't want to give him Mahomes/Allen money, which is what I think he is gunning for. A team like Seattle would pay for him and sign him to a long term deal. This is why you have an agent - he can shop you around to teams that would give you a big payday and ensure your contract has the right set of protections on your behalf. Penny wise, pound foolish on his part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they'll go all in for Samuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 They had a great first round and have six picks between 41-140ish. Theyll probably get a better WR than brown in rd 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't care. That drama 2 years ago was, as it obviously turns out, was all an act. Got him his 50 mil per, which was all he wanted. He's cool with all this.

For instance:https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2022/03/18/aaron-rodgers-catching-heat-davante-adams-trade-packers-raiders Also: Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · Mar 17 While Aaron Rodgers was negotating his contract, he knew Davante Adams would never play for the #Packers again. The situation was too far gone. Something had to give. And when Adams informed GB he wasn’t playing on the tag, talks got fired up. Now, Adams will be on the #Raiders. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
