It is not. He actually said it.The Ravens are one of the most successful teams in the league. There's no chance in hell he's selling the team any time in the near future. The idea of it is pure imagination.

Looks like PFT is already starting on the whole contract situation for the 2020 Draft Class with Burrow, Herbert and Tua. Former GM Joe Banner said Hurts should wait until Burrow and Herbert do their deals before signing. This is the one thing about Lamar playing on the Tag next year, Burrow is definitely going to reset the market given he has a Super Bowl appearance already, Herbert will likely be under that as will Tua and Hurts. The longer we wait, it may just be two more seasons of Lamar at most(Consecutive Franchise Tags) and he's gone in 2025.
Agreed. There’s been no indications he wants to sell. In fact , just the opposite he said he could be the owner for another twenty years this off season. Combine that with how profitable and competitive this team has been since it’s inception and Steve’s not going anywhere.The Ravens are one of the most successful teams in the league. There's no chance in hell he's selling the team any time in the near future. The idea of it is pure imagination.
He’d be our 1 in a heartbeat thoBoyd isn't a #1 but he is a very good receiver.
Trump was right tho, it was a great draft pick“Truzz trump” - Lamar Jackson, 2019
That sounds dumb, let’s just pay our franchise QB that we took the risk drafting then to avoid all thatI tend to agree with your assessment. I see no possible way Steve Bisciotti agrees to pay Lamar what he believes he's worth. It is going to be a wait-and-see game between the two parties and I don't see a positive outcome regardless of how Lamar performs this year after coming back. Even if he wins the SB, I see him opting to be traded. The Baltimore market is too small for Lamar's impending superstardom and I see NY (both teams), LA Rams, TB, and Houston making a full play for his services. I think the bridge for a deal is already burned IMO. I don't foresee the two sides coming together to make a deal happen. It would be a mistake the Ravens will find very hard to recover from. I also forecast that Steve Bisciotti will put up his franchise for sale in the next 5-7 yrs as well. He has already indicated he's not married to it like other franchise owners and has talked about not wanting to own it forever. The Ravens will go through what the Steelers are going through right now and remain mediocre for several years.
Agree, I’d say the market has already been clarified with guaranteed money post Watson, but I don’t see Burrow and Herbert deals making it an absolute certainty that Lamar is gone, if anything I think it helps usExcept it might actually help clarify the market for Lamar and the ravens if one of these guys goes first…
If they get a massive fully guaranteed deal then it simplifies the negotiation for the ravens and if they don’t then it also helps their argument to Lamar that Watson really was a one off
The price is big no matter whether burrow/Herbert go first or not

more like a very bad assumption and a lot of negative thinking.That’s A LOT of projecting
It is not. He actually said it.
Steve Bisciotti on How Long He Will Own the Ravens: ‘I’m Not Going Anywhere’
Steve Bisciotti loves almost every aspect of owning the Ravens, except the stress he feels watching the games.www.baltimoreravens.com
Is there something more recent than this? Since he seems to be saying the opposite.
Go back and listen to his interviews. He has mentioned it on at least 2 different occasions. Not really threatening to sell it, but making a remark like it isn't out of question that he sells the team to focus on philanthropy.The Ravens are one of the most successful teams in the league. There's no chance in hell he's selling the team any time in the near future. The idea of it is pure imagination.
One must project to find out what the future may have in store for us, no?That’s A LOT of projecting
He's a businessman, he's letting people know he's willing to sell if the price is rightGo back and listen to his interviews. He has mentioned it on at least 2 different occasions.

That's fair.He's a businessman, he's letting people know he's willing to sell if the price is right
I guess Steve loves Raven on the stresses the teams bring Stresses aren't always negative, they can be positive. That's what a lot of people love football for, though! And me includedAgreed.

The doom and gloom over a Lamar situation, that could go either way, is melting peoples brains lol. While i don’t think he is the answer long term, i look forward to us resigning him just to hear these same folks say “ see i knew it all along , Lamar was never leaving”.
It’s good cardio to watch the ravens lmaoI guess Steve loves Raven on the stresses the teams bring Stresses aren't always negative, they can be positive. That's what a lot of people love football for, though! And me included
True, but a little less, and a lot less often would be nice. lolI guess Steve loves Raven on the stresses the teams bring Stresses aren't always negative, they can be positive. That's what a lot of people love football for, though! And me included
not so sure your heart would agree.It’s good cardio to watch the ravens lmao
1. There's really no such thing as "big markets or small markets" with Pro Athletes anymore. LeBron made a brand out of playing in Cleveland. Patrick Mahomes is going to make a brand playing in KC for decades. Neither are big markets. You got nationally recognized NBA players who play in miniscule markets routinely.I tend to agree with your assessment.
