Welp looks like the owners have come together. Nobody is even going to offer him a contract.lol Browns are stuck with that Watson contract. The rest of the owners aren't having it.

 

 

Well, the NFLPA has filed a grievance over owner collusion to stop guaranteed contracts.

Can you imagine if we can't trade up and all the QBs go before 9?? Whew boi

Theres plenty of options left even cheap ones-

Draft, trade, sign or develop.

Trade market has= Love, Zack Wilson, Trey lance, etc.

Sign= minshew, white, Brissett

Draft= ar, levis, stroud

develop= eason, carrol

 

All those options should come "cheap" in NFL terms. So even against the cap wall, panthers have plenty of options. Everyone there also has plenty of talent and other teams invested lots in them(minus corral who the panthers traded a future 3rd along with drafting him in the 3rd). 

I mean frank and his marry men were mainly bought here to solve the since 2018 QB problem, theres valuable inexpensive option.

So far nobody.

Peter King said he doesn't know of any team that has plans to go after Jackson.

His contract demands might be putting teams off.

100%, nobody wants to give out guaranteed contracts to begin with, let alone for a player who hasn't finished the last 2 seasons due to injury, particularly when that player's best skill is what keeps getting him injured.

This is going to be a fascinating case study in the end, as it's clear the Ravens don't even trust him enough to give him that guaranteed contract.  If they won't do it, I can't see any other team willing to do it, as it's just a bad sign when his own team that has stated it badly wants to keep him and won't do it.

It's going to be very interesting to see who blinks first, Lamar knows the Ravens don't want to let him go for free but the Ravens also know that nobody else is going to give him that fully guaranteed contract.  This is where him not having an agent is a really bad idea, as a real agent likely would have been able to get a deal done with the Ravens by now, one that while maybe not exactly a fully guaranteed contract, it would have been structured in a way that makes it essentially fully guaranteed.

      Well I should also say another caveat is positional value. You have to be careful violating that. For the scenarios you are describing, those are also things that free agency is for. Free agency should always set up the draft. Improve the roster and then go shopping for things to potentially take your roster up a notch.  Lastly, we are in scenario 2. Our roster is still not good and we have holes at most position groups. We are actually in the "BPA All Day" range.

      Not football, but big sports news

      I'm very interested in seeing the specifics of these cases. The term "illegal gambling" makes me think this is unrelated to typical sports betting/point shaving and related to something else on the side. That kind of stuff worries me much less than something like we saw with Jontay Porter happening on a larger scale. I absolutely think the feds need to be keeping a much closer eye on this stuff given how much more sports betting is going on these days. I honestly don't care that much if it's a Calvin Ridley situation where a player is betting on league games that he's not playing in; I can see why that isn't allowed, but I don't think that presents a major threat to the integrity of the game on any kind of large scale. IMO, the larger threat to sports in general isn't a large-scale organized crime operation but a bunch of smaller operations or even just individuals who are willing to do what Jontay Porter did. He was a relatively insignificant player in the grand scheme of things, but it's entirely possible we see this type of thing more and more even at the highest levels of sports. If gambling is going to be legalized to the extent that it has been, there needs to be better regulation and a very strong set of rules in place for the sportsbooks, the bettors and for the leagues/teams themselves. I don't get the sense that is the case right now.
