The NFL will ensure he doesn't get a Watson-type deal next year if he sits out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even nefarious collusion. It's just smart business, and most teams being far smarter than the Browns. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rights still belong to the Ravens. I believe they can trade those rights. The Ravens are trying to play things out with the non-exclusive tag but Jackson has no intention of playing for the Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be the Packers and let it become personal and petty. Do what is good for business. You don't want to be the team holding a young, superstar QB's career hostage from either a PR or business standpoint. If they announced that they were willing to do a traditional trade then there would be suitors and they could get a huge haul. If another team wanted him they could get him. There is no interest in him for 2 first round picks and a contract better than Watson. That should be clear to you by now. He isnt good enough for that deal plus injury worries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re already ensuring it. But if he really doesn’t want to be in Baltimore sitting out is his option. He couldn’t trust they’ll work out a deal to trade him if he shows up. After his tweets today, the Ravens better start plan B. 2 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: Sounds like you are on to something. However, I have to ask. Why do you think they'd be able to pull off this far more complex process when no one could make the simplest processes work? Do you really think there is a team out there willing to pay him $270M guaranteed, but not give up two 1sts for a QB who they think is worth $270M? JMO, but I dont think the two 1sts are the thing that is holding this all up. He’ll take less elsewhere, but not from the Ravens. That’s the way things look at this point. I think there is bad blood between Jackson and the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude flat wants a contract better than Watson and wont budge. Thats the waste of time. No one is paying him that even without the picks. If he was worth that much to a team then the picks would be worth it too. If the Ravens were willing to match a contract that Lamar would sign then they would already have given him that contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Lamar is very clear in what he wants and the Ravens already said no. If he found a team that was willing to pay him $270M, the Ravens arent stealing that deal. They couldve done that a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is he isnt negotiating. He has a single demand, take it or leave it. He's gonna have quite the shocked pikachu face when the NFL decides "leave it". 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
