Lamar Jackson turns down Ravens lastest offer

[Hawkeye0202]

Huge mistake......from what I've read/heard, their offer is the same as Watson's deal money-wise. The word is, that Jackson wants a total guarantee contract also.

Watson is a bum, and Jackson is worse.
The hype train continues for them though.

Lamar wants to play in Miami his home . He’ll get his money and location next year

Dak's deal looks better and better all the time. I love that I don't have to hear "40 million a year" every other post.

So if Jackson is tagged in 2023, what is the current QB average for him to get paid? If they can't reach an agreement.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He's pretty led the team in rushing the last two years but wanna bet on himself, turning down $46M..........unreal

Good for him. I hope he stays healthy and has a good season.

I disagree with both of those statements but not by much. Watson is not a bum but unless he redeems himself after his suspension, he's headed that way fast. Lamar Jackson is a weapon, however, defenses have figured him out. He is overvaluing himself. He should have taken the Raven's offer.

How is it a mistake?

 

[The Natural]

His deal should be fully guaranteed.

Ken, enjoy it for the next year or two. You'll see amazing threads once Prescott re-ups for a new deal.

He is going to be franchised. He isn't going anywhere

So he will be doing business decisions on the field

They are both decent QB's, but I fail to see the hype on either.
Now at times Watson shows he could be very good, other times, he is...meh...IMO.
I have not seen that from Jackson yet. Both do have strong arms, but can they make all the throws. I have not seen it in Jackson consistently, as I seen more of his games than Watson.

All he has to say is trade me. QB’s have the upper hand.

Agreed.

He should have taken the offer. He is overvaluing himself.

Good question ........2022 QB tag is $29M but the average of the top 5 QB salaries as of today is $47.2M. That's a wide gap.......can't imagine it going up that much but I have no idea.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Why? He leads all QBs in rushing. In other words, it's what makes him who he is. W/O his legs, he's an aversge QB. No team is giving him a 100% guaranteed deal.

A less than bum winning nfl mvp. Incredible

MVP voting is a joke most of the time.
