Lamar is definitely playing on the tag. If not, let his ass hold out and get nothing. Now we know why he had no interest

I doubt Bisciotti is willing to put 236 in escrow

I have a question that I know for sure has been answered on here, so apologize. Hypothetically, if any team makes an offer, and let’s just say just one team does, and it’s a lowball offer, we match, is Lamar forced to accept it? Because that would be funny and awesome
Lamar gets the choice to sign an offer sheet or not. He's not signing any deal that he doesn't want to sign.

I know i meant to reply to another post lol. i just wanted to highlight how unrealistic Lamar's expectations are.

Not sure I have a strong opinion either way, but will say there’s always some doubt when a guy is at the end of a contract and in contentious negotiations for an extension. “Business decisions” if you will.

I mean it makes sense but he already played 12 games into the season. It just doesn't sound like something he would do based on his prior actions. He does not strike me as the type of guy who will sit like a Watson for example.
Things change of course.

It would have to be 6 in order for the Ravens to give it some serious thought.
If you are Lamar, are you even interested in 6-7 year contracts?

Who knows. I guess if gets the guaranteed $ he wants, maybe.
I would think 6 is the max. If he's looking at 5 years and wants 235 guaranteed, he won't get it from anybody.
I'm not personally buying that its his only demand though. I think its one or the other.
I think its one of two things. He either wants $235M fully gtd on a 5 or 6 year deal, OR, he wants a 3 or probably a 4 year deal, fully gtd.
I'd love to see how he responds if somebody offers him 3/150, fully gtd.

Did someone track how many different takes Fowler had on Lamar situation? Sounds like he's 'hearing' all this from the same sources ravenslord is using.

Would the Ravens do a 3 year 150? It doesn't sound that bad to me.

I don't know. I can't imagine we're opposed to a 3 year deal, given that EDC I believe publicly said they've tried "multiple types" of deals, which I assume means a shorter term one also. I'm sort of anti anything under 4 years, because it really limits cap flexibility. But I wouldn't be completely opposed to it.
When Lamar said he was offered 3/133, many presumed that was literal, i.e. we offered 3 years, $133M, fully gtd. If we did that, I'd actually be pretty surprised if we weren't willing to go to at least $140-145M, and realistically up to $150M. So my "presumption" is that Lamar wouldn't take that deal, but I don't know for sure.
Ive been working under the premise that the 3/133 Lamar is referencing is just part of the same offer that Schefter and others reported, which was 5/250 with 133 gtd at signing.
