The Ravens can’t be this dumb? They’re a smart organization right?

If they hit Lamar with a non exclusive franchise tag that means it’s negotiate with Lamar and if he agrees it’s only 2 first round picks to Baltimore. That would be a fleece job for a top 5 QB in his prime. 
 

last time CAR did that, we landed Sean Gilbert

From what I've read, there doesn't seem to be any indication so far that the Panthers are exploring this as an option.

If I remember correctly Tepper didn't want to pay a fully guaranteed contract when it came down to Watson ( smart ), so I doubt we will be looking here.

Lamar isn't signing unless he gets a fully guaranteed contract.  The only chance the Ravens have of moving him off that stance is to put in a position to find out if there is any team willing to give him that.  If not, then Lamar will have no choice but to alter his demands.

This is the right move by the Ravens. Sounds like they want to prove to Lamar that they offering him a good deal, or they are done with it and want to get something in return. 2 first round picks is nothing to bat an eye lash at. Thats a good return for Lamar considering his demands.

Also, according to Peter King, the market may not be what people think.

If a team wants Jackson, it’s disguising its intentions well. I couldn’t find legit evidence of one in Indianapolis, talking to GMs and coaches and other club officials. There may be one (Jets? Falcons?) but I couldn’t find it. And if the Ravens put the non-exclusive tag on Jackson, good luck in forcing him to play in 2023 for $32 million ($4.2 million less than Ryan Tannehill’s slated cap number) after visions of jillions have been dancing in his head.

He wants to get paid, but the contract doesn't necessarily have to be fully guaranteed.

Stephen A Smith is pretty much the only guy who's said that and it became pretty obvious that Jackson's camp was using him as a mouthpiece.

Smith isn't exactly what you'd call a journalist.

I like Stephen A, but I'll trust the reporting we have heard over the last 6 or however many months over him.  He's more connected to the NBA than the NFL.

Not saying he's wrong.  Him/his source could be right! But until other sources chime in saying the same thing, then my belief is that Jackson is searching for a contract in the same vein as Watson's.

Plus, no high-end QB has signed a long-term extension since then right?  It makes sense as to why he would expect that.

Why not? He has the experience, the career and the degree. So...

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
