This is concerning for collusion

Not really. Just because the Browns made a bad deal doesn't mean the rest of the NFL has to do it. The price for Lamar is 2 1sts and a likely fully guaranteed salary. It's very possible that teams don't want to pay that price or go through the entire negotiation process just to have the Ravens match it and be done. It really could be that simple.

I dunno if it’s so much collusion as it is smart. It would be foolish to give a 250mil fully guaranteed contract to an injury prone QB, especially with having to give up two firsts to make that mistake. If he was a FA I’d absolutely be down for negotiating and trying to sign him. No to big money + two firsts though.  And that’s probably what most teams are thinking.

Teams don't want to give huge guaranteed money to a guy with injury concerns.

Jackson overplayed his hand, besides likely making a huge mistake by not hiring an agent.

Is it?  A decade ago for sure it would be, before the twitter verse.  

Today, every team without a QB or in need of an upgrade has likely been asked by dozens of sports reporters (in a matter of moments) if they intend to pursue Lamar.  Is it surprising that they are cool to the idea, knowing what we know when it comes to salary, picks and injury concerns?

Chances are Jackson is going to ultimately sign with the Ravens after further discussions.  That's the best course of action for both parties

FWIW Scot and Nanuq still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald owned magic bullets and that Jimmy Hoffa just really wanted some peace and quiet...

No owner is going to want to pay full guarantees to an injury prone quarterback. That's like an owner of a company saying you can have unlimited paid sick days. It would just be insane, which is why the Browns are the Browns.

The Bat signal has been sent up!!

This is a coordinated market correction being implemented infront of all of us..

Lamar is about to be made a example…

But all it takes is 1 Hasslem to go against his boys and be willing to take the cold shoulder that will come from stepping out of line…

Lets see what happens…

Or one Davis...

Chicago has the cap space.  They should negotiate a trade of Fields for Lamar.  It would instantly make the Bears more competitive and the Ravens would have another young QB to develop.  Something they seem to be good at doing. 

That'd be interesting.

Probably not likely but it'd be interesting to watch.

He doesn’t deserve a fully guaranteed contract.  That being said, we are stupid if we aren’t calling and offering 45M per year with at least half the total contract guaranteed.  Sure, the Ravens would likely match the offer.  But you gotta friggin try.  Jackson makes this a team that can compete for a SB next season

That's less than he already turned down

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
