Now teams interested in Lamar will not give him an offer sheet and figure the Ravens are over a barrel and will trade him for as much as they can get which will now be less than two 1st rounders.
Lamar killed the Ravens negotiating leverage by tweeting he wanted to be traded. He has crippled our team with this tweet.
And he will also say imo hes not playing on the tag, further hurting our ability to get a decent return on a trade.
How do the Lamar homers feel now about him? Be honest.
Completely disagree.
Lamar has zero leverage. Every team in the league has had this info for 3 weeks, including what type of contract he's seeking. They could have done a trade before he even was tagged. Nothing happened.
And nothing happened because nobody is willing to meet Lamar's price today.
Ravens can do what they've been doing... sit back and let Lamar handle it all. He can find the team, he can negotiate the deal, and then the Ravens will handle the compensation and the agreement. They don't have to trade him. They can have him for $32M this year, or he can sit, do nothing, get paid nothing, and Steve is $32M richer.
