The Lamar situation is starting to feel a bit like Dennis Schroeder with the Lakers a few years ago.  Turned down a MONSTER contract extension expecting to get a bigger one in free agency.

Ending up needing to take a 1 year prove it deal in the cheap, was exposed for not being as good as he thought, and lost out on a crazy amount of money that he’ll now never get.

If Lamar doesn’t end up signing a big deal before the season starts and can’t make it thru the season healthy, again, this is going to be the biggest fumbling of a bag in sports history.

Was listening to Sirius NFL radio while in my car today.  Lamar is a frequently discussed topic.  They mentioned some info that had been tweeted by one of their colleagues.  It compared the earnings of Lamar to Josh Allen...who was drafted in the same year.  To date....Allen's earnings have been in the 80 millions.  Lamar to date...in the 30's.  Not having an agent has really cost him.  Not to say he would have earned the same as Josh Allen...but I bet the gap would not be $50million at this point.

Part of this is that Allen wrapped up his deal last year and got a huge pay day. If Lamar had an agent and had gotten a deal last year, he'd likely be at similar numbers.

I wonder what the difference would have been had he accepted one of the deals the Ravens have been offering.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
