Lamar Jackson

Sources tell me a #Colts plane had an extended stay in Baltimore this week.

No reason has been given for the visit at this time but something to monitor going forward

Probably a whole lot of nothing but...

How ironic it would be if the Colts signed Lamar.

John Elway was selected as a can't miss QB by the Baltimore Colts and refused to play for the Irsays. Drunken Bob Irsay demanded a new stadium and eventually moved the Colts from Baltimore to Indianapolis when talks stalled.

Picking up the best QB the Ravens have ever had would be another dagger into Baltimore's football legacy.

That would be terrible. Fuck the Colts

Theoretically speaking, could we trade Lamar right now? Or would it have to be the 2 firsts?

Could trade him on the tag, or have a handshake agreement that we match that team's offer and then trade him with the contract they negotiated.

Sign-and-trades don't work in the NFL or only if there's little to no signing bonus. Because no matter when you trade him the original team has to account for the full signing bonus and be left with dead cap.
Most other qbs have at least signing bonuses of 15-20m. In our case this would only result in savings of 10m instead of 32.

Say what? Why would we be responsible for a signing bonus if we got Lamar to sign the tag and then traded him to a need which then signed him long term?

Definitely not good but this feels like a ploy more than anything. No one has given him an offer that he thinks he's worth. Can't just craft that out of thin air.

Biggest issue with this is the relationship and if it's broken. But money talks and can amend things, as we've seen with tons of other players.

Lamar is fucking over the John who is about to go live lol

 

[rmcjacket23]

Well, at least the cards are on the table now. Get whatever you can get and move on.

 

[OURavensFan]

0 doubt in my mind he could have played against the Bengals now, fuck

 

[OURavensFan]

Can we get Aaron Rodgers somehow ?

Also not a coincidence that Lamar dropped that tweet right as Harbaugh was about to speak.

One thing to note, as a lot of the business "insiders" have said since he posted this, is that players (mostly through agents) request trades all the time, and a lot of times, they don't get traded. In fact they sign extensions.

So its possible he legitimately wants out (which he probably does), but also possible he's doing what every other agent would do, which is to use it as leverage to get other teams interested and/or to drive up the offer from the Ravens.

lmfao... this is hilarious.

Bye! He plays in another uniform he's the enemy. I had no animosity towards him when this all started but the way this has played out now I just want him gone now and definitely building dislike for him. Anyways let's rebuild and John can leave with him.

 

[rmcjacket23]

Well at least everybody knows what's what now. No more hiding it.

Have to think getting the trade done before the draft is critical. Also somewhat surprised that the Ravens haven't "opened up more" in FA, as everything they've done has indicated they're committed to keeping him. And they had this info before FA began.

So based on that, I'd suspect the Ravens aren't entirely closing the door on this.

Idk he probably could have played in that playoff team then mocked the team after they lost

Tons of reports and slander against him. He probably feels disrespected and is tired of people playing with his money. Hurt my money, I'll make it easier to trade me. Seems pretty simple to me and most the fans were turning on him anyway. I guarantee if he's shipped off the new team's fanbase won't care about this.
