Lamar Jackson turns down Ravens lastest offer

[darthseinfeld]

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

Could always be traded

 

[jazzcat22]

yeah the QBs of Ravens and Browns are hyped but not the Cowboys QB


still waiting for the first good post from you

Same from you. You rather rag on me than respond accordingly.

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

Watson is definitely not a bum. Is he very easily a top QB.

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.

Dak's deal was always going to get better as other QB's get paid.
That's why he wanted the short deal.

MVP voting is a joke most of the time.

36 passing TD's, 9 ints. 113 rating. 1,200 rushing yards and another 7 TD's. He definitely deserved his MVP award

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.

how are the deals the same money wise if one’s guaranteed and one isn’t? unless you mean Jackson’s annual salary is higher enough than Watson’s to balance out the fact it’s not guaranteed?

to me if you have an entire contract guaranteed and one isn’t the money isn’t the same unless one is paid significantly higher that he matches the others guaranteed deal in less years.

So he will be doing business decisions on the field

I doubt that. Not how that kid is wired at all.

Its not but its an outlier and most owers and GMS are ignoring Watsons deal and as weve seen the last two deals most are looking to get Roger's money not Watsons, that was dumb deal by the browns and no ones looking at it as market setting.. Lamar deserves a fair deal and was offered one if its close to RW or AR deal.

 

[CouchCoach]

Every QB coming up is cheering Jackson on. He is standing his ground for a Watson deal and betting he will not get injured.

I doubt they can tag him and keep him, I think the QB's are finally in the hold out arena like all the other players. There might have been an image problem with that in the past but professional sports is now all about the money and nothing else.

Not sure if fair enters into this at all. The NFL is a greed fest from the owners to the players and everybody is out to take all they can. If I was a player, I would not be any different. Go for the dough!

 

[baltcowboy]

You can probably add Dak to this list. Not a new deal but certainly a restructure or extension

All three have a chance at getting a fully guaranteed deal that is better then Watson. Next offseason is going to be a mess. I don’t see the Ravens owner budging or the Bengals owner giving away all that cash.

 

[Proof]

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

They have Tua for 3 more years. Would be interesting if the two were to be traded for eachother though. hmmmm

 

[Avery]

Just watch, Miami is going to come after him next season and would gladly trade picks. Tua's contract doesn't really mean much nor cost that much.

I agree and I don’t think the browns should have done it and it will have ripple effect but it’s not the same money outlier or not and that’s my point. It may be the same average annual salary but that is NOT the same as fully guaranteed.

I disagree about fair deal, these players should absolutely push for fully guaranteed and even if teams don’t fully commit to it being so, the more he draws this out if he can leverage that Watson deal into more fully guaranteed money for him he absolutely should.

the problem about what the browns did is there is a precedent set. He should be asking for a fully guaranteed deal and if he can’t get that he should be getting as much guaranteed upfront as possible. So should burrow, so should Herbert. If the owners don’t like it they should be angry at the browns.

Anything that you can twist to support Jethro, eh?

See this is getting crazy, what has he done to deserve THAT contract!

Not a twist just facts, it sucked then and now not so much

Danny White stat, nice.

 

[Shane612]

Maybe he wants out of Baltimore.
Jerry? I'm sure Larmar would love to play for the Dallas Freak'n Cowboys.
