You gotta give up two 1st rounders PLUS offer a contract the Ravens are unwilling to match. Even if you hammer out a deal with Lamar the Ravens can simply step in and say, "Hey, thanks for doing the negotiations for us. We'll do that deal."

That's how the nonexclusive tag works.

Don't know if it will happen. But if with we willing to go all-in on Air Thruster, this is no logical reason we don't vet this out.

I wasn't a believer in Lamar for several years. But he earned his MVP, and is a much better passer than a lot of people want to give him credit for.

This offensive line with Lamar would strike fear in the hearts of defensive coordinators like we haven't seen since in over 5 seasons when Cam was still in his prime

Lamar doesn't have the market that fans want to imagine he's got. He's a run-first quarterback who's been plagued by injuries and is expected a fully guaranteed salary. 

You might be correct.

Peter King said this in his latest column...

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.

That's the thing though. We weren't.

When Watson wanted a fully guaranteed contract, we said no.

Jackson wants a fully guaranteed contract too, and for more money than Watson did.

Genius move by Ravens FO. Pay him less than what he wanted and see his market value. If not they take the 2 firsts n flip that into a young QB coming out this year. Honestly they probably praying for the latter at this point 

I get the impression they do as well.

Perhaps Tepper was not willing to give a fully guaranteed deal to Watson because of his....proclivities?  Jackson by all accounts seems to be a model citizen.  No 2 situations are the same.  Not saying we WILL do that, but you never know.

He’s a good passer and great runner but having to give a quarter of our cap to him AND spend two firsts is a deal breaker. If it was two or three firsts with a rookie deal, sure. A quarter of the cap on a free agent, sure. No to both. Especially one with injury concerns.

Jackson's arguably got a bigger problem. He's been injured a lot.

Best believe Tepper and Fitt are all over this though. Reich probably has a lot of respect for Lamar as a player and Josh McCown probably has a crush as well. I'd love to hear Everos honest assessment of Lamar's game as a DC.

If I was Fitt and Evero was scared of his game than I'm calling Tepper to get the bag of cash ready.

Fitterer has stated repeatedly that he prefers the 'draft and develop' route, so I wouldn't necessarily bet on that.

I would rather have CJ for 3 1st on a rookie contract than LJ for 2 1st and a league leading contract. 

 Yep.

LJ is on the back end of his career. He’s just not the kind of player that has longevity.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
