Yep. Our reported offer was slightly higher AAV, about the same amount of total guarantees, but a pretty sizable increase in the guaranteed at signing. Seems the Ravens really knew what the market was. Now Lamar just has to realize that.

Yup. If I'm the Ravens, I'm not offering a dime more than what I already offered. The market has spoken.

I'd also gladly walk up to Lamar and hand him the identical deal that Hurts got.

I mean Hurts is far and away the closest comp to Lamar as a player as you're going to get in the next few years. Lamar has the MVP award, Hurts as a SB appearance. Could easily argue the latter is more valuable to a team than the former.

High end players who you could argue have produced similar or better results than Lamar in the last few years, are signing deals that are exponentially closer to offers Lamar has already gotten than the one Lamar is seeking.

I mean, it's not like Burrow or Herbert are going to come in and blow that deal out of the water. This is your standard yearly QB increase. Now all other deals that are signed this year are likely to have a slight bump, but largely in line with what Hurts just got. It's how the QB market works.

Not saying we should bid ourselves up, but you have to wonder if a shiny $200M guaranteed number pushes it across the line.

That 133m still blows every other deal out the water and it sounds like that’s the only number Lamar cares about

200m should do it but whether it does is a complete guess

I sincerely doubt the Ravens will ever get to $200M gtd at signing. I'm not even sure Lamar getting to a SB next year gets us to that #. And it certainly ain't happening this year.

So if that's what he wants, he can play the year on the tag.

But there's no way anybody looks at this deal and says "great news for Lamar". People can play whatever game they want to play with "well player X doesn't compare to Lamar" or whatever, but every single deal that happens that drifts the market further away from Watson is bad for Lamar.

Really makes you wonder at this point. Gotta think we'd slightly increase the guaranteed at signing if it was a reasonable counter, but it just seems like none of it has been. Hard to bridge a gap that large if he truly does want Watson levels, but this deal certainly doesn't help Lamar's case.

I offered $200M in total guarantees with that statement, fyi. Not guaranteed at signing.

Again, not into bidding ourselves up and would not make this offer as of now, but let's say Lamar countered now at $150M guaranteed at signing with $200M total, I think the Ravens would think long and hard about it. Gives Lamar a sizable increase without being absurd about it.

But the big thing as always... not sure Lamar would stoop to that level based on the reports we've gotten if he's as dug in as they say.
 
Ah what a glorious morning for Ravens fans. Time to smell the coffee Lamar. The Cleveland Browns, brown'd it up and have already restructured to fix it because it was so stupid. Now Hurts signs for nowhere near Watson money. Lamar you have already been offered a bigger contract than Hurts, just sign it. You ran your experiment, but its run its course

People in fact talk about ray lewis being a murderer.. besides…being a rapist is far more worse than what any of those guys did.. also, even when big ben was playing i never seen fans bring it up. No matter what watson does in his career, people gonna label him a rapist even though he raped nobody.. big ben didnt get that same treated, people forgot about that shit after like a year. Watson is gonna be fked for the rest of his career You know like everyone else knows that fans and media have their picks and usually leads to the same ones everytime

So you’re saying rape is worse than murder? Both are terrible but…….really? Here’s the thing, Watson has not been convicted of rape, Ben has never been convicted of rape, Ray was not convicted of murder. People say shit all the time but it doesn’t make it true, and it doesn’t make it relevant to the discussion.
