You mean to tell me we tried to manufacture a story out of nothing for no reason?!
Fans and media probably.. 40+ million a year i would not volunteer to show up for work neither..my boy was on private jets and shit lol. Nothing wrong with taking an extended break to enjoy his time and money

IDK, might be a good idea to focus on your job, bond with your team and show them who the leader is, you know, try to make the TEAM better. Be plenty of time in a few years to take an extended break.

I’m sure coaches want all there, unless they are healing. They’ve cut practice time to a minimum in general, any time they can get everyone together is advantageous.
personally glad Lamar is there now. As the Qb if you are payed and didn't just win the superbowl I feel ya gotta pull up. I don't think it's a big deal he missed a few especially if he's throwing to zay anyway. Don't mind him missing OTAs the previous year but he's the vet and the leader now (I recall hearing he was more of a leader this year regardless)
Missing one week of voluntary work not gonna be a difference maker.

How I feel about it? Lamar is about to go to prison...........at least...........the way the media is making a huge deal about this, you would think he committed a heinous felony.
In all seriousness, this is my honest reaction to this.
Yea as long as the team and players arent upset about it , which they aren't, why tf does the media care. Being well rested is way more important than starting your grind now, especially when fans and media always complain John works the players too hard and causes injuries... lol like how do you think you prevent injuries??? Rest.
Imagine the media coverage if a superstar qb got knicked up at training camp
"Oh wow all this money and they are wearing him out and putting him at risk in June!"
Like Christ

Media need something to talk about and they know us fans are bit out of touch with reality
If its mahommes or the ones they love, it wont be as bad but if its lamar……
I can't actually imagine giving up $750,000 to miss voluntary workouts, but I'm also not uber rich.
Still, it's OTAs. These is more about acclimating the young guys than the veterans. I'm not worried.
Is there even anything serious going on first few weeks of practice? Id imagine they are just getting in shape
It's great for players who need to get up to speed with the play book and establish their names because they aren't cemented starters, but I can't see the necessary value for someone like Lamar.

Yeah it will because we stop running the ball
such a surprise, but Burrow missing OTAs won't be talked about in the media at all.

Think it was 4 or 5. Right? For me it’s not a good look to your teammates for their leader to lay out unless there’s a good reason.
Ravens downplay Lamar Jackson missing OTAs: 'It's a voluntary time' of year, John Harbaugh says
Harbaugh did not comment on whether Jackson would attend the final week of the voluntary team activities
Report: Lamar Jackson loses out on $750,000 workout bonus for OTA absences
The two-time league MVP cost himself a six-figure pay day by missing too many voluntary organized team activities.
