Haha yeah. It really makes you take a step back and see shit in a different light.
I don’t do it on the regular though. I say once or twice a year is good for me and my mental.

Some late night tweets from Mr. Lamar.

It would really help if Lamar would stop sending out these random tweets and be more transparent with what's going on.
I mean that’s not really fair. If he signed the deal today, he gets most of it back, or at least the most he can control. They are doing the cute thing where they use the signing bonus as earnings but it would count the same if Lamar got it today versus 2 years ago when talking contracts because Allen is just now starting his contract.
funny he had to explain that?
“The reason Lamar Jackson didn’t travel to the football game was because he was sick. They diagnosed this, said that he was sick, he didn’t go on the trip.” -RGIII

Agents negotiate contracts.
This shit getting to you huh
Which is dumb for him if he does it because at that point no one will offer him even 30m. Just killing his potential future earnings.

Honestly, I have no clue. I would hope a QB (AR-15 or Levis) but would the FO really reach for a QB, assuming Carter or Anderson are still on the board. Really hard to say…

Well considering that a number of people think he could've been able to play (he really couldn't), he really has to set the record so people can finally stop bitching about it.

I think one of the top three QBs will be available:
Stroud, Young, or Richardson. We basically just take whichever of them is there.

RG3 stated that he was sick and that was the reason why he wasn't at the game so RG3 either lied or Lamar lied or someone else lied to RG3

I’m not so sure the Ravens match an offer from the colts. Riding themselves off the situation while grabbing a top 5 pick maybe tempting.

I don't know about you but I think it sucks bad. Rather than the team focusing fully on buìlding the new 2023 offense and roster they're having to deal with this shiz. I wouldn't blame them a bit if they just decided to move on so they don't have to worry about more drama in the future. It's pretty fkd up.

Uhh, no. The signing bonus is earnings because its earnings. Its money the player gets.
If Lamar got a $50M signing bonus today, he'd also get a very low base salary today. Which means he'd still be $20-30M behind Allen.
$ yesterday is worth more than $ today. That money can earn interest. That money can be used to buy things. No smart person on planet earth wants to get paid 2 years from now for work they did today.
AND, by the time Lamar is in the middle of whatever extension he signs, Allen will have a new contract, at a higher market value than whatever Lamar is making.
So basically, the only way Lamar is ever going to come close to making as much as Allen in lifetime earnings, is if he plays at least a couple years longer than Allen. Or he needs to sign a deal that's like 1.5-2x more than what Allen got, which isn't going to happen of course.

Maybe that wonderlic test score should have raised a red flag after all
