Me too, the Ravens have typically not had these situations. Sizzle is the only one I can think of that comes close. And I feel bad for all the other players that have to live this crap. Like, what about their careers.

That's actually pretty mild considering how this is all going and what happens with other players during painful contract negotiations.

I hope, and sort of believe, that bridges aren't being burnt and that Lamar will be back, provided the Colts or Patriots don't manage to scrape together an unmatchable offer.

Bro if he goes to Tampa I will be upset only because I’m trying to take my 7 year old to games this year. Kyle Trasik tickets are going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than Lamar tickets

I gotta admit, Lamar’s handling of this situation is souring my opinion of him, I’m beginning to wanna just trade him because goddamn, he’s a bit of a fucking idiot…

Yeah it says something about his character. I try to keep an open mind about all of this because I believe he’s had some bad advice along the way. Had he hired an agent and just focus on what he does best this situation would not exist right now. I mean the business side of football is not always pretty and I just don’t think he knew what he was getting himself into by acting as his own agent.

From the get go people were beating up the F/O. Its obviously a complicated deal, but this has always been a class organization that players speak highly of, so I just couldn’t get behind the cheap or disrespectful narrative. It’s never been our MO, even when we know someone is gone we wish them well and don’t stand in the way of them exploring other options.

The Ravens have never had anything close to this ugly contract negotiations. Because of that , I’ll give the Front Office the benefit of the doubt on this one .
 
Deebo813 said:
So basically it was only 133 guaranteed which was probably paid by year 3 thats why he said “ 3yr 133” but then can and would likely get cut after year 3?

Pretty much. He could theoretically get cut after year 3, which is true of literally every contract not named Watson.

Basically he wants fully gtd so, if he sucks, he still gets paid.

Good luck with that.
 
Deebo813 said:
he wants more guaranteed thats all.. you think he wanna continue to get used up like he has been these past 4 seasons only to get hurt and cut after yr 3? If yall gonna continue to run me to death give me a little bit more gtd money that way we both got something to lose

Well, based on the contract offer, if he got hurt, he wouldn't get cut. The injury guarantees for year 4 kick in next year, so if he was hurt, he'd still get paid.

The only way he wouldn't is if he's ineffective.

Pretty much agree with this. The Ravens have their own business model. They have rarely ever wavered. They have always been fair paying players who fit their requirements of character and talent. Are they cheap? Depends on your perspective I suppose, but I would say they have been successfully thrifty.

Same. I’m perfectly fine with going into negotiations agentless, but you gotta know what you’re doing. Lamar not only doesn’t know what he’s doing, but also it appears he hasn’t bothered to educate himself about shit
