I get it, but he ultimately got what he wanted. Rodgers also was missing camp and got what he wanted from GB. Players still have more control that people think. SizzleBuzz refused to believe it as we all watched Watson strong arm the whole Texans organization even through all his legal issues and walk away rich.

Jackson exists in a post-Watson world, though.

Results so far are indicating it's not going so well.

It's smokescreen season, except when it comes to Lamar Jackson apparently. Teams are making strong statements they are not interested in him. Odd given how this part of the offseason is usually performative.

I think teams have legitimate interest in him, but the cumulative price tag in picks and salary are causing teams to look in other directions.

Sure, but why make definitive statements on it? It doesn't help franchises to leak their intentions.

These are also very concrete statements regarding interest being leaked. There's not a lot of talk about money, it's more or less that teams are stating they have zero interest in acquiring him.

If I had to guess, it's all part of taking his mom to school as his agent. They're driving the price down. Eventually he will have to hire a real agent, but by that point he'll have hurt his value. They'll come back to the table, but it will be for a lesser price. Pretty standard negotiating tactics I would think. I've done it several times in real estate deals.

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. 

Yup, giving up two or three first rounders to move up and grab a qb is one thing because by the time you have to pay them you’ve got first rounders back. Giving that up and owing $35MM is a tough pill to swallow.

I mean even if he chooses not to sit he will make 30 plus million to play QB and if he gets banged up at all he won’t play through it just like last year. Having your star QB/locker room leader pissed at your franchise is bad business….

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
