Oh hell no. You explain 5 yr 250mil to 260 mil and 175 total guarantees to 185. That's what I'm looking at. Hurts got 255 mil with and 180 guarantees. Naw all credit goes to the Ravens for wanting to get this done. Lamar was about wanting all guarantees and conducting bad business. He got crumbs thanks to the Eagles and it got done. Again it didn't have to be like this.

So no teams wanted him and we offered an olive branch. Congrats to Lamar. He did it all.

Not their football inability but their inability to represent themselves when negotiating a contractSo 99% of players are insecure in their abilities.

Lol. I was also meaning contract but I still keep wondering where you get your 3 yr numbers from? On mine I'm talking about full guarantees which includes signing and injury bonuses that he 100% will get. I'm not sure if you're looking just at signing.
especially ...
Thought only 156 was fully gtd which is what he will be getting in first 3yrs? Its an extra 20 million thats fully gtd from injury bonuses?

185 mil is fully 100% guaranteed in total. He will receive that money cuz he's uncuttable. That's what's important.

This explains the contract. He has 112.50m fully guaranteed now. In March 2024 he gets another 43.5m in guarantees and in March 2025 he gets the remaining 29.5m of his 2026 salary fully guaranteed for a total of 185m in guarantees.

No, teams knew what both the ravens and Lamar were doing, Lamar never wanted out, they wanted to drum up an offer sheet so the ravens can match it, so teams didn’t wanna waste their time.
Why do you wanna eat agent dicks so bad florio?

I didn't think he was coming back long term either after not reaching a deal last season. Then how it seemed things were going this year didn't look good either. Happy to be wrong about it.

You had no problem liking the comment.
Far as Joey's comment. Yeah the Ravens and Lamar were colluding to drum up offer sheets. Ok.

As I said, there's nothing left to discuss. By anyone, no matter what they think.
At this point everything is about speculation and emotion and will only be people fighting with each other.

Yeah it’s Much more likely that not a single team in the league wanted a franchise qb for relatively low draft compensation.
Crazy thing is, the moment we applied the NEFT, it was EVERYONES first thought, in real time, fans, media, owners, literally everyone, they’re gonna let Lamar go draw offers on the open market so the ravens can match. Teams don’t fall for it, a domino falls with hurts, then the ravens and Lamar strike a deal. Gee it’s almost as if Lamar and the ravens both wanted to see what the going rate would be… but now that that’s literally played out like a script, the reality is that no team in the league wanted Lamar Jackson, that’s all it was.
