I’m a crazy or does this seem insane?

Smart by Baltimore , they match or get 2 first round pics.. Might bring Lamar back to earth as in , not getting guaranteed Watson $$$

Plus you get to see if the market truly has shifted to the Watson structure for QB’s.

Lamar now has to talk to other clubs to work out a deal. We will now see how willing other clubs are to hand him $250 mill fully guaranteed that he has been asking for.

How would 2 1st’s be anything but awfull return?

If the rumour is true that the Ravens offered 133M as quaranteed they’ll be in world of trouble when Lamar brings the offers back

 

[GKJ]

Ravens are probably going to match anything because 2 1’s is not enough. They’re essentially trying to prove that Lamar is out to lunch on his demands.

Jets are desperate for QB.

Why would they rather pay big time money for Rodgers over Lamar?

 

[The Note]

The Falcons reportedly not having interest seems pretty surprising to say the least.

I might not be as high on Lamar as others.
Wilson bought more return and is clearly a worse QB but the Broncos are dumb.
Are their any other dumb teams left looking?

 

[Unholy Diver]

I think the Ravens take the draft picks and let him go, why spend all the money when you already have another Pro-bowler on the roster

Yes..
They were heavy in the mix for Watson , maybe 20/20 hindsight with Watson and Russel played part in this.

You’d think Jets are pretty desperate and itMs Rodgers vs Lamar.
Why would not Lamar win?

Let’s say he gets a 250M offer with 200-230 in quaranteed.
Are the Ravens ready to go up 100M from 133?

 

[Terry Yake]

not surprising in the least. this is what i expected to happen

still think the ravens will match though. losing lamar and entering a QB carousel is not what they want

They could always bring in Jimmy G to play 12 games a year at a much better price

Probably not and he walks.
Dude is hurt to much and his agent isn't helping him.. I personally stay clear of Rodgers , Couldn't get GB to the playoffs in that Div. Plus all his deva crap so in my book I just don't want him around at almost any cap hit.
Watson broke the market and I guess we will see if Lamars deal sorts it. Will be interesting to see this play out.

That figure is probably a bit misleading. It was reported that $133 is at the point of signing. This type of contract normally have significant more guaranteed money which kicks in after the 1st season is complete. And Ravens arent going to cut him after 1 year and $133 mill. So the actual guarantee was probably more like 180-190, but thats a guess because nobody from Lamars team leaked that figure.

Lamar Jackson is acting as his own agent

Ravens should move on and take the picks

Are the jets prepared to drop that kind of money fully guaranteed? I think there’s a number where Baltimore walks away

To bad Chicago isn't looking but they already have a Jackson AND the 1st overall pic.

Now it's on Lamar to get the deal he's been asking for from Baltimore.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Some team is going to try and sign him to stupid money because he's an elite piece when healthy. Baltimore are morons if they let him walk for only two firsts.

 

[Avs_19]

Two 1sts and at least four years fully guaranteed should be an easy yes for a lot of teams. He’s elite when healthy.

The “when healthy” part is obviously important but I also wonder if he could’ve played last year if things weren’t so bad between him and the Ravens.

I don't think they will, but it also depends on what those firsts are.

Hypothetically let's say the Colts sign him, then they get a first that they could package for the top pick and draft Young.

The more likely scenario is they feel Lamar is completely out of touch with reality and are telling him "see what's out there if you think we're low balling you" knowing that the top offers he gets will probably be similar to their offer.

I don’t see why they wouldn’t be.

They have a roster ready to contend outside the QB and now there’s a franchise QB available for 2 1st round picks.

Seems like an easy yes
