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.

      Trade deadline thread

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
