We don't have to offer him the fully guaranteed contract.

 

Why do you guys keep saying this. That's what his agent is saying to keep the price high. Doesn't mean he's not going to take a deal with lesser guaranteed money.

 

Offer him 190 mil guaranteed. That's much more than what the Ravens offered him 133 mil guaranteed. Don't overthink this people. Lamar is not saying pay me Watson or I won't play. He's saying give me something close to that.

What agent? He has none

The ravens are offering more upfront guarantee than any player in nfl history

Yeah, that argument's been made before.

Doesn't matter how you try to spin it, dude. The franchise tag is in place for a reason. Players can try holding out but odds of success are very slim.

Doesn't matter either way since we're not pursuing him.

I'm pretty sure there's language in there that doesn't allow a player to sit out if his team matches the offer. That would be negotiating in bad faith. I would think the Ravens and NFLPA would be able to eat him alive for it.

He would just sit out like Watson did.

He should have sit out last year, just poor planning by lamar. Now hes lost any 45 million or 100+ million deal, hes one year behind and will never get it back....plus he lost the lots of the "no report".

Probably worth mentioning that Watson wasn't actually franchised.

He was under contract when he held out so the situation isn't quite the same.

This could also be the owners coming together so they don't have a new beast on their hand because if another team gives him the Watson contract it will be the new norm for the QB's coming up like Burrow/Allen.

 

Which also explains that rumor that Snyder might screw the owners on his way out by offering Lamar the Watson deal.

 

It's odd nobody is even interested now...

Its not odd. To you maybe, but I expected this to happen.  I think Lamar is about to find out he's not going to get the kind of contract he wants.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
