Brinson basically calls "collusion," but essentially says it's nearly impossible to prove

I think the is more so teams not wanting to do work for Ravens. Even if a team comes out an offers a massive contract to Jackson, it's more likely than not that the Ravens will match the sheet and it will be for not. It's not like this is the first time something like that has happened.

That's an interesting angle.

I'd throw in that I would be willing to bet a pretty significant amount of money that at some point (maybe several points) along the way, someone from the Players Association has probably looked at Jackson and said "You know Lamar, this whole process would probably go a whole lot smoother if you'd hire an agent" 😕

I can see where Brinson is coming from. I could see collusion.

Yikes at the panthers being an irrelevant franchise. Shannon called us worse this morning. Stings as a fan, but there’s truth to it. 

Maybe he should be asking why the NFL allowed an up and coming superstar to be the target of multiple uncalled head shots and why he wasn't old enough to get the call.

Who is this question directed to? Brinson?

I’ve got those same questions on why was it allowed.

To this thread late, but I say GOOD for the GMs if true. You don't become a success in the business world by not being careful with your money. Contracts are getting higher and higher ... and there's no reason they should. You keep letting players ask for more and giving them it, they're just going to go higher and higher. I'm mostly joking, but maybe not, that we'll see sports first billion dollar athlete in our lifetime. I mean, we're already half way there.

How much would you pay Mahomes? 600? 700? Hell, we already have people in here upset that the Giants gave DJ so much lol.

Im so over these outrage articles that are written because someone the writer likes doesnt get what they want. What basis does this writer have that we havent even checked in on Lamars demands? I thought it was reported we had already looked into it. If I had as much money as Tepper, Id file for defamation after the companies accusing me of collusion and the ones that were calling me racist for not hiring Wilks.

I want Lamar myself, but understand if we dont pursue him. Everyone has just lost all sense of logic. Media gets mad when they are called out, always stating they only report truth. Bullshit. They cause illogical outrage and then act innocent. 

100 percent this.

Who cares what talking heads say.  The league changes every year.  The bengals were irrelevant for years until they werent.  There are a couple of teams that go from bad to really good basically every season.  Then those same guys that cried that a team is irrelevant is then all over them.

Pretty much. Gregg Rosenthal called us "a lousy franchise" that was gonna have a lousy year just prior to the 2015 season 😄

The same talking heads that call us irrelevant one week will talk glowingly of us the next if we make a move they like.

It's not their job to be consistent on a team like us.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
