Watching what's happened with LJ is a lesson to every other player about trying to do it yourself with a mega contract and what not to do. He has botched this just about every way possible. 

Someone did a breakdown of all the money Lamar has left on the table with the way he has handled this whole situation for the past couple of years and it was astounding. It was probably Florio. Seems like a Florio thing to do.

He'll never be able to prove it but no doubt in the mind the owners came together on not giving another player that Watson contract 

I honestly don't think they had to. If this was the MVP version of Lamar someone would've broke rank and done it anyway even if they were attempting collusion.

I’m starting to wonder if he’ll find a team this season. Could be a disaster. 

The Ravens have a franchise offer on the table.  If he doesn't sign it, he doesn't play.  That's what the franchise tag is all about.

This is where a professional agent comes in. Lamar is probably surrounded by a bunch of yes men just telling him what he wants to hear. You don't need to give some scum agent 3%. That's crazy. That'll be millions. You can do this yourself. You're a young, former MVP QB. They're gonna give you that bag.

But he didn't have anyone telling him that he's had two injury plagued seasons. That his play has significantly tailed off since his MVP season. That the NFL is wondering if his best days are behind him. That damn, the Ravens have a pretty strong offer on the table might wanna sign it.  Maybe most importantly, he didn't have anyone with NFL front office connections around the league to have behind the scenes conversations to gauge his worth among other teams. If he did, that agent would've probably been SCREAMING at him to sign the Ravens' offer.

He needed an agent two years ago. No way an agent lets him play year 4 of the rookie deal for like $2M as an MVP winner and then play on a 5th year option for $17M or so. He wouldn’t have had a contract issue. He’d be in year 3 of his new deal this year so $$$$s in the bank instead of having two years of missing playoffs due to injuries and the Ravens questioning if he’s worth it.

He has utterly botched the fug out of this.

I’m confused, does he not realize he’s been available for trade for a while now? I don’t feel bad for him and hope nobody caves to his ridiculous demands like the Browns did with Watson. Imagine turning down an offer that would have made you the highest paid in the league at the time, over $50m/year and over half of it guaranteed. Oh no, the team might cut you in the final year if you’re not performing and you don’t see $20m or some bs? Boo fugging hoo. Pure greed and sheer idiocy.

I mean not really? Teams could offer him a huge contract and Baltimore had every chance to match it, this makes it very clear he does not want to be in Baltimore anymore.

      The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.

      Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
