Seems like Lamar Jackson isn't pleased with the Ravens tonight

The Rodgers drama reminds me of a particular dialog in Die Hard. Towards the end, where it becomes obvious that Hans (the terrorist) is collecting his haul from the safe, the Bonnie bedelia character says "so after all the posturing about justice, this was only about the money" 

🙂

 

 

There is no such thing

Doesn't change the fact that the Ravens didnt do him any favors by shipping off one of his main targets. I am not a LJ fan either but this makes little sense to me (less than the AJ Brown trade which was a $$ move)

He doesn't?

 

 

Yup!

 

Lots of posters here bit on it...

Sure, but it’s also wise to treat your employees well. It doesn’t matter what any of us think about Lamar. Trading away your QBs favorite receiver isn’t what a team that likes their QB does.

I would point at Green Bay but then the relationship between La Fleur and Rodgers has appeared, at the very least, strained for a long time.

The fact Lamar doesn’t have a new contract tells you everything you need to know about Baltimore’s opinion on Lamar.

 

Lamar Jackson's situation is unique, since he's his own agent so I can only imagine how awkward it is trying to get a discount on a player right to his face.

Lamar should probably not react on Twitter as the franchise qb

I wonder if they have the balls to flip Lamar to Carolina or Seattle if they can pick up Corall or Willis in the 2nd. 

 

NFC needs another good RB.

I'd trade him if I were the Ravens.  His value is extremely high right now and it's clear the team doesn't want to give him Mahomes/Allen money, which is what I think he is gunning for.

 

A team like Seattle would pay for him and sign him to a long term deal.  This is why you have an agent - he can shop you around to teams that would give you a big payday and ensure your contract has the right set of protections on your behalf.  Penny wise, pound foolish on his part.

Though it could be Jackson was told that they would never trade Brown, or at least not without a ready made replacement. Perhaps they'll go all in for Samuel.

Wow, Mom helping with his contract just seems like a Chunky Soup commercial.

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

They had a great first round and have six picks between 41-140ish.

 

Theyll probably get a better WR than brown in rd 2

According to the Ravens, they want to pay him but Jackson won't talk to them and he doesn't have an agent

Well if he would have talked to them maybe he could have convinced them not to trade his favorite WR Bollywood.

This is still a thing?

 

Rodgers gave his blessing to the Adams traded and said nothing when they let M V-S go.  He doesn't care.  That drama 2 years ago was, as it obviously turns out, was all an act.  Got him his 50 mil per, which was all he wanted.  He's cool with all this.  

Really?

Yeah, really.  He's lying.  

 

This was well reported months ago.

While Aaron Rodgers was negotating his contract, he knew Davante Adams would never play for the #Packers again. The situation was too far gone. Something had to give. And when Adams informed GB he wasn’t playing on the tag, talks got fired up. Now, Adams will be on the #Raiders. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu…

I don't really think Lamar is a top end QB in the long term, but Baltimore is not doing him any favors by trading Hollywood. Could he be out of Baltimore soon? 

 

Except that Marquise Brown has been repeatedly and publicly unhappy in Baltimore.

Which Lamar Jackson knew about.

Yeah, that story hadnt come out at the time when I posted this. Lamar has still got to be pissed though.
