There is no way Lamar would be on a franchise tag year 2. This is not even about my position on signing QBs to mega deals but just that having him play on year 2 of a franchise tag just puts you in too much of a position to be Washington and get nothing more than a 3rd back. If they have to use a 2nd tag and there is an imminent deal, I would almost assume he is getting traded at that point because they cannot take the risk that he walks and they get nothing. That is by far the worst case scenario.
yes, I agree with this statement if we were going to trade him, but I don't see us trading him at all. In the end he will be a Raven.

@Adreme this is how I feel. There is just no way to keep the players you need to with him tagged a 2nd year. There are still people who think it's impossible we would trade him. I'm not one of them. I'd love for there to be an actual discussion of what a team like ours could do if that situation. It's only feasible if you have a team made up of 1st and 2nd year draft picks, imo.

I don't think we go into year two with franchise tag, but I do believe we extend him. Whether that be this offseason or next remains to be seen. Definitely would be better to have him extended prior to free agency.
