Lamar Jackson

And one final thought here before I call it for the night:

Regardless of whatever may or may not be going on behind closed doors, I hope the brain trust realizes that Lamar is this team. Lamar is the reason this team is in the fight. Lamar is the reason seats are filled. If there’s an impasse, it’s time to try to get over that shit and work something out. There’s a gold mine of money to be made off of him. Sounds terrible, but it’s true. People will eventually “forget” if we do move on, but that’s a lot of turmoil that isn’t needed. The solution feels simple to me: get a deal done. The long term benefits outweigh the monetary costs that come from the contract.

it also makes us a more competitive team both in the short-term and long-term because of the financial flexibility him being under contract long-term gives us

Before paying Lamar, we need to fire Roman otherwise it doesn't matter if we pay Lamar, or even trade him. If Greg Roman is still here and Lamar plays one more year with Roman as his play caller, that extension doesn't matter. If we trade Lamar for a bunch of picks and go through another 5 years with a new QB having to deal with Roman, it simply doesn't matter.
