I just don't think nobody wants to guarantee Lamar as much he looking for and IMHO rightfully so. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 hour ago, TheFunPolice said: 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. What’s BS about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 2 hours ago, HappyDays said: He needs to get an agent. He has no endorsement deals, no commercials, nothing. Other teams are shutting down his asking price. He needs someone that isn't a direct relative advising him. Right now he looks like a fool and is costing himself millions. At least Ja Morant waited until he signed the $200M deal before he started acting out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 57 minutes ago, atlbillsfan1975 said: What’s BS about this? If he won’t play for 4x that much, why on earth would he risk injury for 10m? 4 hours ago, TheFunPolice said: 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. If he had an agent, he would have signed right after JA and been making bank for 2 years, he’s an idiot 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Again, he's demanding a $50M/year fully guaranteed contract, it will take 2-1st rounders to get him and he hasn't finished the last 2 seasons. It doesn't take collusion for teams to be scared off by all that. Edited March 8 by Doc 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyo321 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Guy is not worth it. Tag him this year and trade and draft another QB this year or next year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention: * Jackson has failed to complete the last two seasons with significant injuries. * Jackson has been very bad in his four playoff games where he has a 1 - 3 record. * Any team that currently needs a QB would likely have to significantly change their offensive scheme to accommodate his playing style. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chongli Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Is there a team stupid enough to give him that fully guaranteed contract? Only the Jets come to mind, lol. I predict he throws a sissy fit and does not play this season or report until the end, when he has to to get the accrued year credit. 52 minutes ago, CincyBillsFan said: Not to mention: * Jackson has failed to complete the last two seasons with significant injuries. * Jackson has been very bad in his four playoff games where he has a 1 - 3 record. * Any team that currently needs a QB would likely have to significantly change their offensive scheme to accommodate his playing style. Plus, it could be argued he did not play in the playoffs last year when he was fully capable. Edited March 8 by chongli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 If you were trying super hard to make it NOT seem like collusion, you’d at least ask these “sources” to not all say the same thing at the same time on the same day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) 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.

You know there were no discussions how exactly? There are two things which are very important which nobody knows beyond speculation: What teams are willing to pay What Lamar wants to receive Without knowing either of these things it is hard to cast blame. If Atlanta offered vet minimum I’d say they were way off. If Lamar asked for 6 billion a year guaranteed, he is way off.

A QB has to be able to pass consistently. The OC ran a Lamar based offensive.. I don’t think every NFL team thinks that offense or his current skills sets are SB potential. The rapist contract was bound to cause problems so thanks to the ever clueless Browns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Doc Brown Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 38 minutes ago, benderbender said: If you were trying super hard to make it NOT seem like collusion, you’d at least ask these “sources” to not all say the same thing at the same time on the same day. The conspiracy theorist in me says that's the assumption they want you to make. It's not collusion. It's well known that the failure to get a deal done was because Lamar wanted a fully guaranteed contract. Just because the Browns were dumb enough to give a fully guaranteed record qb contract doesn't meant another team is. If I'm Lamar, I hire an agent and back off the fully guaranteed demand. He's one bad step away from losing generational wealth playing on the non exclusive franchise tag. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media in Lamar’s corner keep taking about his MVP year. The league has adjusted and he clearly was either too injured or not willing to play a fair amount of games the past 2 years. He competes, he seems to be a good teammate, but could you see JA employing the same strategy?? He didn’t and he’s now comfortably signed to a contract and is the unquestioned leader of the Bills. Does anyone view Lamar as a leader of the Ravens? Poor decision making to not have an agent to take the burden off. No collusion, If teams think he’s worth it.. they will come after him and do a sign and trade. If not it’s a matter of value and he’s overpriced for the market. 9 minutes ago, TheFunPolice said: 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. Right because all NFL don’t care about winning ? Really? Why would these teams not be excited to get better ? At first glance the play vs cost at least so far is not worth it. If one team steps up which is certainly possible then he’s met a particular teams value. That’s all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
