They would not need to collude for this. Lamar Jackson 4 years ago was a top 2-3 QB. Lamar Jackson 3 years ago played like a top 5-10 QB. Lamar Jackson the past 2 years has played slightly above average while getting hurt the past 2 years. With that career trajectory plus missing the last 2 years due to injury, is it really surprising no one wants to reset the market with him? It does not take collusion to look at that situation and go "Nope. I do not want a piece of that".He can always sign a tag and pocket 32 mil.
Then he can retire after '23 season.
I fucking would because in all this mess, there is one fact that's absolutely clear - owners are colluding.
He did call our EDC the same day Lamar demanded a trade …
I’ll take 4 in a mf heartbeat
I’ll take 4 in a mf heartbeat
I’m going bpa unless stroud is thereWho you Gon get at 4?
Will Levis? AR-15?
I rather just get Anderson or Carter and punt QB to next year
Can you link it?Y'all see the interview where Bateman said he don't know what happy is here lol....don't want to take the thread off topic so I'll just say yall think the culture has just gotten bad that's part of the reason Lamar wants out?
I think he will adjust his expectations and sign with another team for less than the Raven's have offered. He definitely wasn't happy playing in Balt. this year and the FO is blind if they didn't pick up on that.That's the tough thing for him. He's got no leverage. His can sit out and take a further hit to his image, he can play like a madman on the tag and try again next year, or he can adjust his expectations and sign.
I was thinking the same.Honestly I'd consider talking with the Lions, Lamar for Goff and picks. They have the 6th pick where we could also go for one of the QBs, then hit a WR with our other first round.
Skip to the 12 minutes
No team is giving Lamar what he wants and giving up two first round picks on top of that. A trade this year is not happening. Honestly if I was Steve Biscotti and had his money, I would tell EDC, if Lamar doesn’t show up….While I agree, there is always the cost of a lost season. Easy to say Steve saves 32M, but that season will likely be a waste. That should be factored into the leverage conversation
Why the hell is this so hard to grasp...Y'all see the interview where Bateman said he don't know what happy is here lol....don't want to take the thread off topic so I'll just say yall think the culture has just gotten bad that's part of the reason Lamar wants out?
Harbs holding onto Roman for as long as he did may have done a lot more damage than just having a stagnant offense.Man we suck. I said this a couple of times already. The culture is at the worst it's ever been since I've been a fan. But others keep saying it's not
At this point, I pray we do not do that.Depends on the reason. Baltimore calls him and gives him what he wants right now he will be happy and everything will be as if none of this happened.
