Does it really matter if they had the cap and no one else to really spend it on? 

Never cared for obj but it's a one year deal, if it was a multi year deal then they would be in trouble 

Until they have a QB on the roster.... theres someone else to spend it on. 

poo roll it over into next season when there is a much MUCH better market of available WRs

They have $6M in space before OBJ because they have the $32M tag on Lamar. I'd assume that means a Lamar deal is imminent to shift a bunch of that to bonus money this year

Seems like Lamar and the Ravens are just stuck with each other.  Must be a weird dynamic..

Sure seems like it.

Im also shocked OBJ got 15 mil guaranteed.

 

I thought his market was 5mil a year

I know, usually there's an agent the QB could blame the "business side" on but not in this scenario lol.

Yep it's looking like the case. Im shocked nobody went after him though. Like nobody even offered a contract lol.

 

One of the weirdest negotiations I have witnessed especially from a franchise QB.

Sucks it happened to him, but after the Watson and Wilson contracts I'm guessing there's a bit of owner collusion to get these guaranteed contracts back down to the mid $100m's

I think we all know it was collusion. Nobody is getting the Watson deal anytime soon. These owners talk behind the scenes this was them coming together and saying "F that".

 

Im guessing Lamar will probably get the Kyler Murray deal with 189 mil guaranteed or a little more.

So, what if those contracts were just outliers?  One or two owners do something extreme/dumb does not mean the rest of the owners have to do the same thing.

As for Lamar, he is not a victim here of some grand conspiracy.  As I mentioned in earlier...a QB in his same draft class...who has an agent (Josh Allen) to date has made over $80 mil...Lamar, who has no agent, has made a bit over $30 mill to date.

Some people just make better business decisions than others.

No we don't...

"We" only know this if we'd rather put our tinfoil hats on than actually apply some critical thinking and analysis to the situation.
