Lamar Jackson

Lamar's mom and dad have absolutely zero experience in working these things out. They need to drop their pride and Lamar needs a real agent if they care a lick about him

Why? Cause he's waiting? Seems to be working out better for him as more QBs sign their contracts

You tell me that the mom will know a single thing about contractual details and all that goes into the specifics and I'll tell you I have an oceanfront property down in Missouri

no, his mom can't review his contract details, but I'm betting he is using a lawyer for that.

Does he need an agent. No, but I do believe it would be better for him to have an agent.

I've been wondering if he's being hurt by his inability to inquire about his value with other teams without tampering. I know agents can't technically either, but I think it's naive to think they don't have off the record conversations with other teams' FOs. I'd assume that that's how the value of any extension prior to the end of a rookie deal is determined. Florio is a tool and is biased towards agents, but he's probably right that Lamar's draft stock took a hit that it may not have with an agent.

It doesn't help that we don't know anything about what the negotiations have looked like - or what either side's hard lines are. They could be inches or miles apart and I'm pretty sure we'd see the same posturing from the FO and Lamar. Neither side really seems to have a ton of leverage over the other at the moment, and I'd bet it's going to take a lot of time to get a deal done.

I think Lamar has plenty of leverage over the front office.

I think the FO has leverage, but have their hands tied because they won't/shouldn't piss off Lamar. Lamar has "I made this team championship caliber and keep this team relevant any time I'm on the field" leverage, as well as "I know you need more cap flexibility" leverage. EDC hasn't been afraid to play hardball and walk away in the past (like with Bozeman), but there's a big difference between a scheme-dependent center and a MVP caliber QB.
