DrDawkinstein Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 If I'm Baltimore, I'm tagging Lamar and telling him to come play 1 more year with the new OC, and if it goes well, I'll give him $300M all guaranteed. And if not, we'll let him hit FA and never tag him again. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Why should he take less than Watson? I’m sure Hurts and Herbert are asking for the same thing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they tag him non exclusive he can negotiate with other teams and get the deal he wants. You know someone will pay him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible, sure. Especially with no agent or anyone else guiding him with these business decisions. Hope he saw that recent Le'Veon Bell interview where he said holding out and sitting out was the biggest mistake of his life and he shouldve just signed the Steelers original offer. If Ravens tag him and he sits out, it's all downhill. I still think they tag him and ultimately trade him to Atlanta tho. And Arthur Blank WILL give him $275M all guaranteed. 3 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Lamar Jackson controls everything. Ravens aren’t going to tag him exclusively, cap hit too high.

Just theorizing on what else they could do. That new OC throws an interesting wrinkle in. I do disagree that he controls everything. He controls himself and whether he plays or not. But the team has options too. Edited February 23, 2023 by DrDawkinstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 58 minutes ago, SCBills said: I understand that he is trying to maximize himself due to his past accomplishments, as well as the importance of the position he plays, and the fact he totes the rock more than any other QB. Still, this is 13 on the Wonderlic type stuff. The Browns were stupid. There are 31 other franchises that are not the Browns, and therefore carry themselves accordingly. BUT, I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets would do something irrational if given the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 55 minutes ago, SCBills said: I'm sure Lamar knows that some team will give him something like 50M per, fully guaranteed, 6-7 year contract. Easy for us to say that's crazy, given we have Josh Allen, but I'm sure quite a few would pay whatever it takes to someone like Lamar Jackson when we were wandering in the QB wilderness after Jim Kelly. Let's hope the Jets are that team. Kill their cap and deplete their picks... Woody Johnson said he'd do whatever it takes to bring in a top tier QB, didn't he? Lamar, debatable, but most would say he's that. I hope it's not the jets. Even a best up Lamar is better than what they had last year and the rest of their team is pretty solid top to bottom. A better than average QB would make them better. As far as the cap hell, yes I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe he couldn't have played at the end of the season? He didn't owe the organization anything. They weren't negotiating with him in full sincerity. Their offer to him was putrid. Honestly, he shouldn't have played at all. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets also told Derek Carr that if he came to NY he'd be a first ballot hall of famer, so the Jets do have a history of being completely insane and living in an alternate reality...

They offered him what is overwhelmingly considered to be a fair and generous offer and he turned it down. I do not fault the Ravens if they are no longer interested in wasting their time negotiating with a delusional amateur who insists on representing himself to his own detriment. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed his character by playing at all. He risked playing and got injured believing the Ravens were going to do right by him. Lamar is a better QB than Murray/Wilson. The Ravens offered him a contract less than theirs. Total disrespect IMO. Lamar Jackson is the main reason Ravens stadium is filled. That alone should warrant the money 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillMafia716ix Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I’m not mad at him. He’s know there’s multiple teams that would be willing to pay him. He’s obviously going to get tagged if Baltimore doesn’t want to pay him just trade him and move on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
