Beane and McDermott love to trade for/draft RBs for the bench. Someone has to stand on the sidelines in street clothes

I would still rather have Nuke over a guy who tore his same ACL twice already and comes with drama.

I'm not a fan at all of this idea... Trade for Nuke instead. Better player

maybe some of the rumors about serious locker room issues were true...

I'm rooting for Lamar and want him to get a bigger contract than Watson because IMO he deserves it. The way Lamar plays and the way teams use him in their offense it makes sense to want the guaranteed money. From the team side, you're probably paying it out anyway. Plus it's more interesting to me if he goes to another team. It's a story. Same with Rodgers.

Judging by the fact that no teams were allowed to talk to Lamar before the tag was applied, and within an hour a half dozen QB needy teams came out to say they weren't interested seems a bit fishy. But who knows... It looks bad though.

I think this is going to blow up into an enormous firestorm that is going to look terrible for the NFL. I would be apoplectic if the Bills were in the Falcons or Panthers spot and came immediately out to say they weren't interested. No discussion even. No meetings. Just zero interest.

If Lamar sits out the entire year would he become a free agent? Technically what's stopping the USFL or XFL from offering him $10 million dollars to play this spring to help tide him over this season while generating huge PR for their league? I just want to see Lamar stick it to the Ravens and the league at this point. This is straight up BS.

This is going to be a lot of fun to follow, and I hope some NFC team makes Lamar the highest paid player in NFL history. Makes the AFC a little easier, and Lamar gets a serious payday. If you look at SpotTrac he was making peanuts (like 1 million or so per season until his 5th year option) while the Ravens ran him into the ground. I can't blame the man for wanting to get his guaranteed money.

the way these stories go he should be a Panther by tonight.

Ravens should put the non-exclusive tag, let Lamar go find another team's best offer, then just match it and say "see, you got top market $$" Theoretically, could another team sign Lamar to an offer sheet that, for example, gave him a $5 million bonus for every game played in Baltimore as a poison pill to stop the Ravens from matching?

only if he's 330+ pounds. Otherwise, nope.

Can you imagine short yardage.... Henry or Allen? Pick your poison! I just hope that IF this happens we pace the man so that he's fresh and ready for January football in Buffalo. Play him the minimum amount needed to win games in September, October and November.

this would be incredible! Henry on this offense gives us two huge, freakishly athletic men on offense to worry about.

There's something amiss with Diggs. When he tried to leave the stadium without even meeting with the team post-game after the Bengals loss, plus the blowup at Allen on the sidelines it was a bad sign that there are some serious issues here. IF there is a real issue here and we could get a 1st rounder from Dallas then maybe you make the move.

Great point. One one hand I get guys maximizing their value. On the other, there's a limit. Would a QB like Burrow or Lamar accept a 5 year $200 million contract if it was 100% guaranteed, rather than a longer term, higher $$ deal without as much guaranteed?

maybe Love gets traded to the Jets then? IMO it's hilarious how wrong the first reports always are. Carr is leaning toward the Jets.... Deal with Saints could be done today! Watson is going to be a Falcon, Browns are out of the mix.... Watson to the Browns!

whoever drops the Lombardi trophy into Lake Erie during the mid-February Super Bowl parade/flotilla and causes a bunch of heavily intoxicated players to jump into the icy waters after it

Rodgers is going to retire. Maybe he unretires later and does whatever he can to secure an outright release, but IMO he will retire soon. By doing that he could force the Packers to cut him due to the cap. Hey, the Packers have only themselves to blame. They could have had the Russell Wilson deal with Denver, but they were determined that they didn't want Rodgers to play for them, and they didn't want him to go anywhere they didn't want him to go, so this is what you get. Also, they DID want him to "learn from Favre" so it looks like he did. Rodgers is a genius. He tanked his trade value so that his new team wouldn't be gutted. No way a team gives up more than one 1st round pick for a guy who supposedly can't decide if he wants to play anymore, let alone in 2024. His course of action is probably to drag this out as long as possible with 2 aims: 1. drop his trade value so that his new team can still be competitive 2. possibly get an outright release if he doesn't get the trade he wants now It sounds like the Packers don't want him back, don't want him in the NFC, don't want him to wear a blue jersey, don't want him to succeed anywhere, etc... If that's the case then he'll retire, then unretire this summer and they will be screwed with that contract and have no choice but to cut him. It was his plan all along.

I used to think the Ravens were a well run organization, but then that NFLPA report came out and a bunch of current and former Ravens started dunking on the team on social media. they seemed more than happy to embarrass the Ravens organization. Reading between the lines, this whole Lamar deal is Lamar trying to force his way out, for whatever reason.

still the most vommit worthy NE SB win. They run Lynch, Dee Ford lines up onside, and Gruden agrees to let Brady come to the Raiders in 2020 and Brady has 4 rings instead of 7. Obviously that can go the other way too with the 2 insane catches in the Giants Super Bowls. It just goes to show how thin the margin is. Goofy things happen in football that can wildly swing your career and legacy. Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers had a bunch of just goofy improbable things end their seasons in the playoffs that if the game was played again would never occur.

man, the Ravens players were really dunking on that organization, which was somewhat surprising to me. Washington I get, because that franchise is an utter disaster. Whoever buys it needs to re-name, re-brand, and totally reset that team. Ravens are a surprise though. I guess I always thought they were a well run operation, but it sounds like plenty of guys were less than satisfied.

great teams always win a WTF title somewhere. Patriots sure did with that last Rams Super Bowl that ended 3-2 or whatever the score was. Worst SB I've ever seen. I watched some of the sideline footage the NFL puts together and even players were yawning. Patriots had ZERO business winning that SB but they got the ring. You don't always win when "you're ready" or even a favorite. In fact, a lot of time the favorite doesn't win. That (almost! LOL) undefeated NE team lost. That NE team that went back against the Giants with the same offense lost yet again, and it was a bit less dramatic. But that ghost of a team squeaked out a 6th ring against the Rams.

Poyer is a leader and an absolute warrior... nothing but respect for the guy. I would try to resign him, even for a higher amount over 2-3 years. If the Saints can go from 90 million over the cap to under the cap in a week without cutting everyone then we can find a way.

Is Antonio Brown going full Bon Jovi and promising to move to the Albany area full time and buy a house and pontoon boat on the Hudson River?
