Bro Shemar bridges better not be making this team

MVP
Not DevonTron!!
HAHAHAHA no way - at least we get to see him cut now instead of after 2 months of highlights and preseason domination only for him to not make the roster in order to keep Ben mason on the team
Tim white went to my high school and trained there when I was still in school (and he was on the ravens) I can’t even tell u how much it hurt watching him fumble once knowing damn well harbs was gonna kill his ass

As we await Lamar's deal whenever it is.............
Fuck. Min he’s getting is 5 / 245 after that
Yep or 250 lol.. good. Cant wait
Well Cardinals have now basically made themselves a non factor in the NFC for the next few years. Murray reminds me a lot of Russel Wilson in that for the first 5 weeks of the season everyone thinks they are going to be MVP and then you just stop hearing about them by the end of the season because neither of them can keep it going the entire way.
Does this actually help Lamar? I assume that he was looking at an AAV in the range of 47-49 anyway because of the Watson contract. Kyler's contract not being fully guaranteed probably lowers the likelihood that Lamar's will be.

Yep, just paid him a bunch to disappear in the second half of the season. Second dumbest thing they did was locking up Kingsbury through 2026, like all his teams fade away in the second half of the season.

Think its somewhat insignificant. Like the money is what it is, and its not surprising.
What it at least does is make Lamar realize that maybe this whole "I'm going to get $230M guaranteed" like Watson thing isn't going to happen for him.
That was my thinking. Also doesn't help Lamar that the next 2 big QB contracts coming up (Herbert, Burrow) are both are in franchises (like Arizona) with less fluid cash to give out massive guarantees.

Ehh, I'm not sure that matters. They'll get paid huge all the same. They're just a year away from being eligible, and who knows if they'll even get one then.
Though the landscape for franchise QBs seems to be shifting more towards getting paid before year 4 as opposed to before year 5.

Best thing that happened was not getting a fully guaranteed deal. It's a ton of guaranteed money, but nowhere close to full. That sort of kills the idea that all QBs going forward aren't going to be willing to sign unless they get full guarantees.
I thought Lamar like the length of Mahomes (and the fact that said contract is effectively fully guaranteed).
Yeah. Watson was a weird situation. There's always going to be a difference between negotiating an extension and having three desperate teams bid for you. Hopefully Lamar's situation remains in the former.
aav went up but feels like murray sacrificed some cash for the aav number and i think for the ravens basically confirmed the fact that watson's deal with the fully guaranteed element is the outlier rather than the new norm
