Yes, you are incorrect. Lamar is essentially a RFA right now. If that helps how folks think of this.

I've been saying this since last year. And am not sure why it isnt done already. The Falcons have the cash, the picks, the need, and it would be HUGE in this city.

Ehh, disagree. Nothing about this signing or Hamlin coming back stops us from drafting a Safety early. It just means we dont HAVE to. Which is how Beane likes to go into the draft. With at least "a guy" plugged into every hole. But if Antonio Johnson is there at 27, or Jordan Battle at 59... I wouldnt be surprised to hear their names.

Or getting through the entire season with 2 over 30, banged up Safeties.

He might be back if Hamlin doesnt come back. Or even if he does. Behind our starters it's just... Rapp, and maybe Benford? He signed in Vegas! Thank dog

I chuckled

And Poyer couldnt even break into the starting lineup of a 4-12 Browns his entire 4 years with the crappy team. Players develop. Change of scenery and scheme could help. Just sayin.

Sounds like you are on to something. However, I have to ask. Why do you think they'd be able to pull off this far more complex process when no one could make the simplest processes work? Do you really think there is a team out there willing to pay him $270M guaranteed, but not give up two 1sts for a QB who they think is worth $270M? JMO, but I dont think the two 1sts are the thing that is holding this all up.

Harbaugh, class act. But sorry, John. I'm just a nobody message board poster. So I'm here TO JUDGE! Most likely outcome.

Maybe. IMO, if I'm Baltimore I'm just sitting pat. I want those 2 1sts because I'm going to need the assets in order to draft a replacement QB next year. No need for Baltimore to change or waiver on a single thing. Lamar sitting out this year, and losing another $32M, is hilarious. I've never seen someone lose out on so much money by trying to hold out for so much more that is never coming. It's almost sad.

I wouldnt put it past Lamar to think that would work. I have a feeling what would actually happen is practically the end of his career.

Yep. Nothing has changed. Lamar is still tagged. Teams can negotiate with him and trade two 1sts for him. That's the whole story.

What's the detriment to Baltimore? The tag use here is giving Baltimore the leverage. After all this, Lamar is coming back and playing at $32M this year. Or the Ravens get two 1sts. Sounds like a win either way.

Yep, nothing is changing. Lamar: I dont think they can. Give me a sec to find a link....

Yes he does. But I think that once Lamar has a deal in place, and a trade in place, THEN he would sign the tag in order for everything to be executed.

He wasnt leaving. Ever. David knew it, Bills knew it, everyone knew it. No matter when Beane called it wouldve been "too late" since it wasnt 11 years ago. Player who spent over a decade in Tampa decides to stay in Tampa his last couple of years. Complete non story. Nothing to do with the Bills.

We KNOW there are. At least one is named Ken Francis. While we're on this topic, I suggest everyone google the name "Saint Omni". Interesting stuff regarding Roquan Smith "representing himself".

The only catch with restoring backups is you have to be sure to restore from a point well before the hackers ever got in, or you'll just be restoring their same malware they put on your machine.

I dont think anyone has ever argued that the guys listed there are Rhodes Scholars. But theyre apparently smart enough to hire agents. And some very good agents at that!

That is absolutely possible, even in my description of the situation. I dont think there is anything he is doing that comes from a place of "evil" or bad intentions. It's just he and his mom dont know any better, and arent trusting any of the people out there to trust. You telling me Drew Rosenhaus wouldnt take him on? Like, dude, call literally the biggest, most trusted names in the industry. They'd love to take care of you. And would probably do it for only 1%.

From the sounds of it, it's him and his mom coming up out of a rough situation, without the proper background education on these matters. And the usual swarm of circling yes-men trying to get in to get a piece of his pie. My Chronic Poverty Brain comment isn't really a joke. Again, on one hand it's kinda sad. But on the other hand, literally 99% of players have agents. Every big name QB as far as I know (Brisset is not a top QB). Just do the simple, right, easy, popular thing.

Yes. It is extraordinarily low. Like dude showed up and just marked "C" for every answer. Or made the bubbles into a picture. Or cant read. All equally possible.

He scored a 13 on his Wonderlic. A 13! Unfortunately, he and his mom seem to be suffering from Chronic Poverty Brain. Can't see the bigger picture of spending a little money to make a TON of money. Trying to pinch every penny at his own detriment. Kinda sad.

First and foremost, that tweet and meme is hilarious from Lamar. Great meme'ing. But bruh... That's not what we're here for and we're talking about MILLIONS of dollars in the balance. Some of my favorite comments on this one: "Lamar tweets like a WR" "“People claim to care about mental health and yet i’m not allowed to break league rules? Smh” "How long before he freezes his foot?" His resposnse to this memo: My man! The LEAGUE SENT OUT A MEMO! This isnt just some story made up by a clickbait reporter.
