Lamar Jackson

[SaltyDog]

There is nothing about Ridder/Huntley that I would want to experience lol

There’s plenty I like about Ridder just not sure he’s ready for prime time. But if Lamar is gone the Ravens are in offense rebuild mode any way. He played pretty decent filling in for Mariota this year. Bring in a vet QB like Jimmy G. or Taylor Heineke and give Ridder a chance to compete right away. We’d have 3 years to evaluate him on his rookie deal.

Ninja what?

Im sure it happens with every good player.. teams gonna always call about players who have been tagged. Real question is…will Ravens take those trade inquires serious?

It depends on the offer. Somebody may offer something crazy good.

My bet is on yes.

All along they "wanted to keep Lamar" but for cheap. If they really did, he'd be entering 3rd year of a long term deal signed after '20 season.

Yes and this isn't news. We all knew how this could play out.

Yeah, if a team with multiple first round picks badly want Lamar they could make it happen.

I agree. 3 1st rounders,one second and a couple of good players might do it.

Could X team Tag & Trade X Player.... you can pretty much say that about any team and player. Such a generic headline, obviously if a offer that blew us away came along then we would have to consider it. The problem is... who replaces Lamar? Like we need a firm plan in place if we trade Lamar and who will be the starter.

I don't want to see us trade Lamar as I think we sign him long term anyway but man, who replaces him would be the big question.

and it's just February... I can't wait for all these reports claiming to be in the know

 

[Ellicottraven]

Lamar's Dad will need to confirm, but rumor has it Lamar was watching the Breakfast Club before he posted that Mario Cart bit...

Unfortunately, as the decision on his future draws closer and his millions draw nearer, the farther from me he is kept, shielded by his evil and possessive mommy. All this despite my signing a prenuptial agreement right before he was born confirming that I would take care of them if they remained poor, but the minute he hit the jackpot of sports stardom, I'd be fine with being discarded like stinky linen. That stink overwhelms me every day, my friend... Sigh.

Trying to spin the narrative that we can’t spend on WRs since Lamar gonna make too much is dirty business. Like we had 4 years of cheap Lamar, still didn’t spend. Oh.. but we somehow found 20mil to pay for a LB we took in for half a season.

We got two first round WRs for him, one of the best receiving TEs, and good receiving RBs.

Also, if we're being honest WRs refused to come here with Roman calling plays.

so we should have WRs clamoring for us now?

And a 4th round gem TE who is also a pretty good receiver. It’s not at all like they have ignored the need for ball catchers, they just have not gotten a splash top tier WR, and as you say, Roman is to WR’s what Raid is to bugs.

So we want that top tier receiver, right... or do we want a receiving core like KCs, cheap but decent.

What’s wrong with wanting both. It’s ok to dream right? Lol

Seriously though it would be nice to have that top tier WR and a good #2 who can play wide or in the slot. One who can get the YAC’s and the tough yards over the middle. Can Bateman be that #1 WR? I’m saying maybe he can if he can stay healthy and with the right coaching in place.

If he improves his catching, he definitely can be. CAN
