Special K Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Wouldn't think they would trade him to an AFC team, so Atlanta is a good guess. Honestly, it could be any team in the NFC South...they are all in need of QB help. Not a fan of Jackson, but he's going to be overpaid by someone.

Rc2catch Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I would like to see him in another system. Gonna be a huge gamble for whatever team that gets him though. Gonna cost a lot of picks followed by a monster contract. Atlanta probably would be a nice spot for him but I would like to see Washington snag him.

qwksilver Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 So many QB needy teams, mostly in the NFC, except for Jets, some team will over pay and send too much in compensation (agree the money won't come from the Ravens). I don't care where he ends up. Each new lower body injury make him less effective as a runner and he's clearly not a top 10 pocket qb.

CSBill Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) The issue with Jackson, is you need the right offensive system to go with him (which, I guess could be said about every QB). But he is singularly unique. If someone does trade for him, they should somehow, someway, invest in Greg Roman to also be a part of their staff. I bet the Dolphins try hard for him.

davefan66 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Interesting if they jettison him. Picks vs franchise QB? I’ll take franchise QB! They are hard to come by. NFL went through a drought of college QB’s who transitioned to great NFL QB’s. College talent level is certainly getting better of late, but proven NFL franchise QB’s shouldn’t be trade bait. That being said, I don’t see Lamar as a top level franchise guy. I guess the Ravens also don’t. Wouldn’t even put him in top 10 QB’s. Superior athlete, not enough pocket QB skills when needed. Heck, I’d take Jimmy G over him. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Word on the street is they offered him 250 mil with 150 mil of that guaranteed but he wants 250 mil guaranteed and will not move off that number, literally 100 mil cash difference! You would have to find a team willing to pay that plus willing to go all in with draft assets and then also willing to run that college style offense. People in Baltimore are going to riot if they trade him. No number of draft picks will be enough and how much could they possibly get for a player on a franchise tag that doesn't want to play for that team? Maybe 2 1sts and like a 4th? What are you going to do with that? There is no "next Lamar Jackson" coming out of college. Edited February 12, 2023 by KDIGGZ 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 32 minutes ago, PetermansRedemption said: Why? The Bills seem to own Lamar Exactly. Leslie Frazier came up with defense for Ravens in playoffs and it has been duplicated by other teams. I wonder if Ravens trade if they will get a QB as part of package. My prediction 1: If he is tagged no one will trade since he is insisting on a guaranteed contract and then he sits out to week 11 to get his year of service and force him to be tagged or released following year, My prediction 2: He will be out of football shape when he signs tag and then will get injured before end of season and then not play again that season meaning Ravens paid a lot for nothing next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they or do fans there realize, he's great when healthy, but can't stay that way and has struggled at times. The biggest problem with trading him IMO is the overall lack of great franchise type QB's available every year to draft. A better chance they pick one that doesn't work out than does. Then in 4 years will be looking for another one. But don't think the answer is handing Jackson $250 mil all guaranteed either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 This is another instance of a “starting QB” incorrectly being labeled as a “Franchise QB” there is a difference between the two… Lamar has made himself difficult to deal with, and will likely get traded a couple of times during his career, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTruster Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I just don't see him getting any team to the promised land. Just don't. Win a lot of games, big flashy stuff, but he puts you in cap h-ll, destroys your draft board for years. Cardinals should go for him. Put the entire running QB dumpster fire in one franchise. Kyler, Lamar and 51 XFLers and go for the big tankapotomus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Any GM would be insane to offer a guy like Jackson a fully guaranteed contract, especially for 250 million. He’s hurt too much and does not show up in the playoffs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I wish I could bet on him getting tagged and staying in Baltimore. Then they can see him in a new offense (I bet they go hard after receivers) & judge him this season. I know a lot of people don’t love him but it’s hard to let a MVP type qb go. 14 minutes ago, peterpan said: Ravens would be dangerous with most anyone at QB.

Not calling him a one-trick pony, but he certainly had not shown to be a consistent pocket QB, who can scramble. Seems to be the other way.

He’s hurt too much and does not show up in the playoffs. I understand why you’d say that, but think about it from the viewpoint of a GM. Say you’ve built an excellent roster, but lack a quality QB - and you aren’t picking high enough to get a good QB prospect. Would you want to keep rolling along with the status quo where you’ll top out at mediocre? That will get you fired in a season or two. Or would you rather spend a bunch of your owner’s money and some draft picks on Lamar? If you make the move and it doesn’t work out and you get fired, then you won’t be there to clean up the mess of being stuck with a QB who isn’t living up to his contract, cap hell and no high picks. Personally you’re probably no worse off than not making the move for him. If it does work out, your team is successful, you’re the hero and you get a huge new contract. This is the reason some team will take the risk and go all in for Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
