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...

      Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
