Lamar Jackson

[rossihunter2]

He’s a manning… a third gener- no, THE third generation manning.

Literally the chosen one. Brady retires in 2023 and arch takes his place.

lol - gonna wait to see him at college first lol - also dont care about a guy who wont be eligible for any draft before 2026...
for reference - there is likely going to be a moon landing before manning is even eligible to declare for the draft

He's in his Senior Year of High School now, goes to Texas next year and won't be eligible until 2026 I believe. Brady waiting to get his revenge on the Mannings by beating Arch in the Super Bowl in 2030 lol.

Don't be ridiculous. Brady is going to play for Texas Tech next year.

While I agree with this, a) that's on the player, because he can probably opt for a shorter deal that constantly requires resetting (i.e. the Kirk Cousins effect) and b) there's no logic behind a team signing a player to an extension that's based on perceived market value 3-4 years later.

Honestly if Lamar came out and said "hey I only want to do like 2-3 year deals at a time", so that he can perpetually reset to market value, I'm fine with that. I don't think the FO will like it, but I think they'll do it anyway.

But if Lamar is as smart as he seems, he'll also know that the shorter the deal, the less cap flexibility there is, and therefore, the less likely it is that the "talent" around improves dramatically outside of the draft. If people want to see how "real" the salary cap is, start signing all your players to max, fully guaranteed, 2-3 year deals. I bet you'll see how little wiggle room there is then.

And for all I know, length may be a sticking point too. I'm sure the Ravens want long, and I'm sure Lamar wants shorter or middle.

I like the new mcjacket… i really do but id much rather have the old you back

Any and all of this certainly depends on how this season pans out. At this point huge pressure on LJ, let’s hope he responds well.

Lamar's been under pressure all his life. Nothing different for him.

I tried to google “when is arch manning going pro” and 2023 popped up in bold, and my brain took a shit and didn’t do the math that he’s got an entire college career to play first lmao. Autofilled to “going to college”

Lions Reddit really think they have a shot at getting Lamar lol.

“ Lions are built for Lamar” lol , dude every offense is for Lamar. He could honestly play and be effective in any system.

 

[Willbacker]

Jokes aside.. he’s a manning. He the chosen one.

The Golden Arch.

Considering that Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson are friends to a certain degree I can understand how he can look at Watson deal and want the same if not more. Watson getting suspended for 10 games doesn't help his case, Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson deal doesn't help his case and if he ends up having a season similar 2019 if not better then I'm still not sure that helps his case. This could potentially be wrong decision by Lamar and whoever else represents him but I understand him trying to get the most money that he can .

Mmmm French fries

At this point I really think Lamar is just gone after this season. It'd be great to keep him, but he's gonna take the biggest contract he can get and a desperate team will give it to him.

i mean he's not going anywhere in 2023...

It'll be hard to keep him that season with the tag cap number. Doable but you might be cutting some really good players for what will be a one year rental contract.
