The 133m was just the guaranteed portion. It was 5yrs 250m with 133m guaranteed. He wanted like 240m fully guaranteed. He’s an idiot.

This will be a circus. Honestly glad we are not getting involved. Good luck to him though.

[Mr. Scot]

There has yet to be any market for him whatsoever.

He's trying to create one.

lamar coming out of this looking like a giant bone head.

Can't even be mad at dude,tbh. He isn't the brightest bulb in the pack, surrounds himself with people not likely to steer him in the most optimal direction, and Deshaun Watson's extension really did a number on how other QB's might view their worth. 

He should be mad at himself. He has a $250M contract with $133M guaranteed right now and making major agents sweat that he got that without any of them involved if he just wasn't a dumbass.

[LinvilleGorge]

Honestly, Lamar should've been thankful to the Ravens that they used the non-exclusive tag. That allowed him to go out there and get his bag elsewhere if another team was willing to do it. They weren't. Uh oh.

[The Huddler]

watch this get turned into a thing about race. 

 

 

yet another example of pulling the race card at every turn, watering it down. 

 

mobile QB with injury history, that has shown to be difficult to work or negotiate with on top of not having an agent. 

[MrBubba]

He should try and get someone to sign him first

[Mr. Scot]

Are they seriously asking this?

This whole fiasco has just been a complete disaster. Lamar has really fuged this up.

He messed it up by not taking the big 3 year extension they offered him before last season.

It would have made him one of the highest paid players in the league and he'd already be looking at another extension after this upcoming season.

He also could have had it put into that deal that he couldn't be franchised tagged, so he'd be just 1 more year away from being a true free agent and could do whatever he wanted at that point.

I mean, he's messed up everything about this. There's nothing he hasn't messed up.

When his career is said and done he probably would've had hundreds of millions more in career earnings all to try to save 3%.

This dude is going to make any team he goes to in the NFC a contender. You haters can call him every name in the book. One thing you can't question this dude simply wins a lot of games even with lesser talent than other QB's.

 

My hope is he stays in the AFC. Please just don't land in Atlanta.

I would LOVE it if he landed in Atlanta

Wherever he goes, they're going to have to give up multiple first round picks and then will be hampered with a monster contract to a player who can't stay healthy and isn't a good enough passer to succeed in the NFL as his legs/body wear down and can't run as much.

Please let him bring that disaster scenario to the Falcons

Hell, I'd love for Lamar Jackson to land in Atlanta with a fat ass fully guaranteed contract via a trade with them parting with two 1st round picks.
