Lamar Jackson

Ummm, speak for yourself and others D. I don't trust the U.S. government as far as I can throw it, let alone, my not believing in every word that the sports media talking heads are constantly spewing on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. In God I trust but everyone else, I investigate thoroughly! :cool:

Just listened to The Lounge with Lamar and he sounds reborn. I love it.

Still can’t get over how huge his fucking neck looked in the presser. That shit had my eyes bug out for a second lol.

Let’s go.

I agree! He feels that he was a vet and his new deal reflected that. I love it when he said that and many other things. I believe that he is going to light it up this upcoming season and silence all of his haters. I can't wait!

Honestly joked about this the other day. This fucker getting praised for saving millions in agent fees, and he's gonna piss away a couple million building some shitty ass product ain't nobody gonna buy.

And somebody put a quarter in the merry-go-round...

Us in the free world dnt think for ourselves anymore. Media outlets do it for us now and we just go along with whatever they say. Barkley says he needs an agent, it must be true since barkley played at an highlevel and is on TV.. no, these dudes are the same guys who would leave their wallet at the crime scene.

Like I said, Lamar stayed with it and it worked out for him. Kudos to him for that. But you also need to give the ravens FO and coaches a lot of credit for not wavering in their support for Lamar, and for not giving up on him. There was no other QB they wanted, and there was no other team that Lamar wanted to play for. Getting the deal done was inevitable. Now it’s time to go to work.

Nicely done. Alot of us shit on him for no agent, myself included, but he pulled it off well

Yeah just about everyone in the free world thought he should have had an agent. Including myself. The contract he ended up with was very close to what they had offered him in September, according to EDC. So much of the drama would probably have been avoided had an agent been involved. But at the end of the day he got a fair deal, and he didn’t waiver from his position on not hiring an agent. For that I give him big props.

Yeah, glad it got done. Ravens obviously wanted LJ to remain a Raven and were always prepared to make it happen.

For a few reasons I still think it would have been better for the team, and possibly Lamar, if he had an agent. Pretty sure a similar deal would have been done a year or more ago and who knows how last year would have unfolded without the contract crap weighing on him. Yeah, he may have saved some $, but we don’t know what that actually cost him or the team and his team mates.

Believe me Lamar needs an agent. Somebody that would've told him not to listen to the NFLPA. EDC himself said the signed deal was not much different from the original which means to me that the 5 yr 250 mil with 175 guaranteed was the original and was fact. EDC putting the non exclusive and standing strong by him and letting him find out his true worth (not much diffrent from the Ray situation) and then the Eagles paying Hurts is what really pulled this off. I said before this did not have to go down like this cuz that trade request pissed a lot of people off. Me being one and I firmly believe with an agent this would've been a lot cleaner. Getting extra pennies on the dollar was just not worth it. Hel if he had an agent maybe get a gig with Hardees promoting the Big Star Burger or something

The agent would have created a lot of drama if Lamar didn't accept a deal the agent and the Ravens thought was fair. Lamar would've pushed back, and the agent would have been frustrated and left in a huff creating a lot of bad publicity for Lamar. In the end, it worked out well. I don't think an agent would've accomplished anything better than what Lamar seemed to get out of the Ravens. He wore himself out and he definitely wore EDC out with this negotiation.

Yeah I will always believe that it’s better for players to do what they do best. Focus on football, and let a professional take care of the business side. Especially a contract of this magnitude. Worked out for Lamar and I’m happy that it’s done. Time to get ready for a new season.
