Ravens Ring of Honor
Indeed.Maybe that wonderlic test score should have raised a red flag after all

Some late night tweets from Mr. Lamar.
So if RGIII is telling the truth, Lamar is lying in the tweet saying his knee was the reason he didn't travel. Which is it??funny he had to explain that?
“The reason Lamar Jackson didn’t travel to the football game was because he was sick. They diagnosed this, said that he was sick, he didn’t go on the trip.” -RGIII
Robert Griffin III: Relationship between Lamar Jackson, Ravens is "salvageable"

Uhh, no. The signing bonus is earnings because its earnings. Its money the player gets.
If Lamar got a $50M signing bonus today, he'd also get a very low base salary today. Which means he'd still be $20-30M behind Allen.
$ yesterday is worth more than $ today. That money can earn interest. That money can be used to buy things. No smart person on planet earth wants to get paid 2 years from now for work they did today.
AND, by the time Lamar is in the middle of whatever extension he signs, Allen will have a new contract, at a higher market value than whatever Lamar is making.
So basically, the only way Lamar is ever going to come close to making as much as Allen in lifetime earnings, is if he plays at least a couple years longer than Allen. Or he needs to sign a deal that's like 1.5-2x more than what Allen got, which isn't going to happen of course.
agentwhoever is in his camp dropped the ball from that sense. Smart money is too sign as quick as possible to set up the next contract.
Well considering that a number of people think he could've been able to play (he really couldn't), he really has to set the record so people can finally stop bitching about it.

It wouldn't have mattered. Half the people in here spend the whole year bitching about Harbaugh lying to them about everything. But now we want him to be transparent about injuries and we're just going to take what he says as gospel?I truly believe that was the last straw for Lamar. Harbaugh not nipping that narrative. He tried to put pressure on our franchise QB to go out there and play hurt. It got so loud, that Lamar had to tweet out his own injury to defend himself because his HC wouldn’t do it.
If this is all because Lamar is not smart enough to understand that coaches are not going to give a straight answer about injuries to avoid giving a competitive advantage, then its due to Lamar's stupidity not Harbs using standard coach speak.I truly believe that was the last straw for Lamar. Harbaugh not nipping that narrative. He tried to put pressure on our franchise QB to go out there and play hurt.

Harbaugh or any head coach never really go in detail with the media regarding a player injury. I get it as fans we want the head coach to be more open and transparent regarding the matter but most head coaches simply are not. If it's true that Lamar Jackson wants to be a Patriot then if he felt a certain way about Harbaugh not defending him then oooh boy he not ready for Bill .If this is all because Lamar is not smart enough to understand that coaches are not going to give a straight answer about injuries to avoid giving a competitive advantage, then its due to Lamar's stupidity not Harbs using standard coach speak.
Right, but the problem is you're assuming the other parties deal won't change during that time. Josh Allen is going to get an extension and a raise likely in the next 2-3 years. So when Lamar is making $50M in 2025 or 2026, Allen will be making at least that much, if not more.If Lamar got his 50m AAV, and lets make it a 4 year deal to balance it, he would make more under that contract then Allen did when he signed it 2 years ago. He probably makes enough under to make up for Lamar having a smaller rookie deal which neither side controlled, but that one is harder to show with math (he would make 26m more which I think is more than the rookie deal difference but its hard to say)
Meanwhile, if you are offering me a deal where I get lock in my raise now or I can wait 2 years and get 15% more (which is about what he would get if he took the deal in front of him) any sane person would take the latter. There are a lot of markets built on MUCH smaller average returns than that. The evidence of this is that Lamar played about as badly in those 2 years as was possible and he is still getting an offer that would put him ahead. The smart move financially was to wait but it was also to take the deal after waiting. Yes Allen got his signing bonus earlier but considering the stagnant market that 15% you get by waiting is simply better returns than you should expect.
Lamar’s “last straw” = $$$. If he gets what he wants all will be forgiven.I truly believe that was the last straw for Lamar. Harbaugh not nipping that narrative. He tried to put pressure on our franchise QB to go out there and play hurt. It got so loud, that Lamar had to tweet out his own injury to defend himself because his HC wouldn’t do it.
Yeah the "last straw" is when he signs the extension.I truly believe that was the last straw for Lamar. Harbaugh not nipping that narrative. He tried to put pressure on our franchise QB to go out there and play hurt. It got so loud, that Lamar had to tweet out his own injury to defend himself because his HC wouldn’t do it.
Trying to figure out when/why we became the Baltimore Lamars. lol
...i hate these new trolls. Mahomes won the sb Lamars mvp year and Allen was drafted the same year as Lamar. And Allen looked like shit until they got DiggsThink about this- when Lamar won his MVP it was before these dudes were playing- Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow, and Lawrence. Allen was a rookie. So, Jackson has been passed by these guys, owns 1 playoff victory, and hasn't finished the last two seasons. The Browns will only set the market for desperation and stupidity. Deshaun Watson may not even be top 10 QB. At any rate, no QB should make more than Mahomes.
I don't see anything in those tweets that hurts his situation. In fact, his sharing the Ruiz tweets might even help by drawing attention to them and reminding everyone how good he's been.He needs to get tf off twitter. Not helping his situation.
No one else is willing to pay what he supposedly "deserves" eitherThe sides are polarized. The Ravens are never going to pay what Lamar Jackson deserves and both sides know it. LJ is definitely not going to play on the Injury Tag for 32 million. Not going to ever happen, everyone knows this. The Ravens need to trade Lamar to the Colts who clearly want him. Irsay wants to sign a LJ to a big contract, just not fully guaranteed. Its doable. Don't want to give LJ up, but the relationship is broken and forcing him to play for low pay has soured LJ off Baltimore.
