Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract

I find this new twist of the dude negotiating for him hilarious. Most likely this dude is just calling NFL teams and claiming to be his rep in order to get some free meal or something. I truly want to see a picture of this guy at a meeting

I guess technically it isnt considered "negotiating" if it's just demanding $270M fully guaranteed and telling teams take it or leave it. 🤷‍♂️

 

Oh my god, this moron needs an agent. He's just so dumb.

Maybe no agent will sign him up for he will not listen to them.

The thing is - Lamar doesn’t need an agent. He negotiated a pretty freaking good offer from Baltimore - with $133M in full guarantees. He just needs someone to talk him into taking it.

This has hit a whole new level of stupid.  Pretty sure an agent would not have cost you near as much as not getting a damn deal done right after Allen did.  Josh has banked almost 70M in the last two years, what ya got Lamar?  You got time you won’t ever get back and you sure as hell will never make that money up.  It’s kinda sad honestly.

This tweet is just … amazing 

 

 

Lamars' mom just tried to backdoor one of the most tight-knit and resourceful businesses in sports.

 

He's about to get the Kaepernick treatment.

It's becoming a Coen brothers movie plot.  Maybe Lamar can make some money off of it unless he demands to be the director.

Unfortunately you can almost see this coming down the line.  Lamar sits out the year because 133m fully guaranteed wasn’t enough money.  
 

He then gets injured or something causing him to miss another year or worse and misses his window 

 

maybe he becomes a cautionary tale that everyone is replaceable-especially those in the entertainment industry whose desire for 100s of millions is paid for by most people making 60k/yr

Came here to say this. Other players include Bobby Wagner, DeAndre Hopkins and Jacoby Brissett. Last year there were 17 players who repped themselves. I’m not saying they are all going to be as successful as Tunsil was, but they’ve done pretty well all things considered.

I think in each of these cases, they were aware of their market value. Lamar for a variety of reasons sees his value significantly higher than the market. He’s been offered a great deal that for some reason he’s not good with.

Had he taken that offer I would have agreed not having an agent would have worked. But QB is the highest paying position by far and encompasses a certain “face of the franchise” aspect to it. It’s more $, more term, and generally more complex contracts. While the average agent typically gets 3%, he could have demanded 1% and I think someone viable would have taken it. 1% of 150m is a fair amount at $1.5m but keeps the high profile leader of the team out of the stress of negotiating. Unfortunately a lot has come out with respect to Lamar not being a leader. No further evidence is needed other than comparing him to JA. The two top franchise QB’s in the same draft year. JA hires an agent keeps out of it and continues to be a leader. Lamar does the opposite. JA signs a win win contract and Lamar wants significantly more than that (based on the idiot Browns). Most recently Lamar refutes any and all reporting about what he and his mom and non agent Francis are up to. If your a potential team what about this entices you to offer him a contract ? That’s generously assuming they are of equal talent. It’s crazy and really unfortunate.

Wait...the tweets quoted above show a black guy and then a white guy, both named Ken Francis. What's up?
