because no way are we paying him 45m this year
right, but we will most likely sign him or use the non-exclusive. If we use the exclusive, I highly doubt that we will be getting rid of so much talent to pay Lamar an amount we don't have to.
Now speaking of QBs trying to get the bag, I wonder if this is gonna affect Lamar's leverage if DJ's contract comes before Lamar's.
I think purdy could be legit, he’s sharp as shit, like he may need to be on a well coordinated offense but I think he can deal the rock very well at a nfl level. He would’ve been dog shit on the ravens but most qbs who can’t run tf out of the ball would’ve been, Mahomes would’ve looked pedestrian here last year after Bateman went down
I thought Mahomes would look pedestrian after losing Hill but the dude had over 5000 yards passing with Smith-Shuster and Valdez-Scantling. And of course his man Kelce. Your point is well taken though, assuming GRo was still here.
Barely. He played well vs the chiefs in 10 but that's it. He wasn't the driving force behind those early wins.
Or you know... he just doesn't care near as much as the fans seemingly do. But anything to fit your agenda.
I have no agenda but I do think this is going to end with a Lamar trade.
I can tell you Decosta would be NUTS if he played Lamar on the franchise tag with no long term contract. NUTS!!!!!!
But why?
IDK, if the FO feels it hinders their chances to compete I don't see them going down that path. If they did, what would that say to the other players and the rest of the organization? One player is more important than the team? Doesn't really make sense, especially considering the way they have done business in the past.
Because it would severely limit the ability of the Ravens to acquire excellent free agents like Hopkins .
Yeah they ain't gonna rush a decision on franchise QB just so they can spend some money in FA
