Lamar Jackson

i don’t think the ravens are interested in keeping Lamar. I think they haven’t offered him more than the last offer because they valued him at that and they probably don’t feel any differently after this year.

He really might get traded this offseason. They don’t wanna lose trade leverage and value so running it back isn’t an option. They either commit long term this offseason without first seeing him with a new OC, or trade him, OR he plays on the tag and we lose all leverage at the end of the season. I think Lamar might be more committed to the ravens than the ravens are to him.

I completely agree . I think the Ravens are done with him

Losing to the cocky Bengals in the playoffs is going be an emotional low, and through his fault or not it mostly being due to how Lamar failed to recover in time is just a real sour taste. 2 years in a row now he’s gotten hurt and missed the playoffs, I think he’s a great player when he’s healthy, top 5 for sure, but like I said before I’m no longer against a trade, we need to hear the offers

Agreed completely. I really do think he’s played his last game as a Raven

it would have been best if Lamar said something earlier or Harbs. He should have been put on IR knowing this information.

Bet Harbs and all of them only said “he’s coming back soon” so that’s they can apply pressure to him. They probably knew it was season ending with the real time frame… they just wanted him to try and play thru injury. No chance of that happening with his contract situation
 
Moderate (Grade 2) sprains take three to four weeks to fully recover.

I wonder if he knew this information when first diagnosed with this.

Players can't and shouldn't disclose injury status. It should come from the team. Sometimes it's just worse than a team wants to let on. That's fair. Yet there's the whole competitive advantage of not fully disclosing and I respect that too. I think they knew all along that it was unlikely he was going to play again. Now it just seems like gamesmanship.

So why do people think Lamar has played his final game due to this tweet? I’m not understanding that narrative.

I feel Lamar would not have tweeted like this if he felt the Ravens were handling his injury status properly.
I really think there is bad blood on both sides .
He’s done as a Raven. I think the feeling is mutual between him and the Ravens.
 
I’ve been pro trading Lamar for a while but I don’t think that happens. Really feels like this is a “coming to Jesus” moment for Lamar. I’m thinking this helps get the deal in the off-season

Yeah I’m not so sure on this one. I mean what would they gain by downplaying a season ending injury to the franchise QB? If they knew all along wouldn’t they IR him and maybe bring in another warm body? IDK, if they knew all along I’m even more pissed.
 
Yeah kinda weird. If they’re resting Lamar then why? What’s the purpose of hiding an injury? If you do want to trade him his value is now lower. I don’t think this smells like the reality. If he’s hurt his trade value is bound to be lower anyway. I just don’t think the entire trade scenario makes sense. With Hollywood and Hurst we didn’t know they wanted to be traded until they were

Something stinks about all of this. Maybe Lamar wants to be traded.
