Nextmanup Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Let's hope not! Let them get Brady instead! https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/news/simms-dolphins-are-no-1-team-to-watch-in-lamar-sweepstakes Quote
RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Wouldn’t that require draft picks? I can’t imagine that the Ravens let him go without at least tagging him and getting 2 1sts. And then the Dolphins have to pay him. I just don’t see it. 2 7 1 Quote
NewEra Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Agreed. That would be tough to stop. He may not be a great passer but the Miami WRs will be running wide open a fair amount if a defense has to focus on containing Lamar running and Hill/Waddle. It’s a huge roll of the dice at this point though. You just have to wonder if he can stay healthy after ending the last 2 seasons with injuries. 2 minutes ago, RobbRiddicksTDLeap said: Wouldn’t that require draft picks?

Doc Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 This will be merged with the other thread, but the Ravens are absolutely franchising Lamar if they can't work out a long-term deal that is reasonable. That means draft picks +/- players which the Dols don't have, plus giving him a fully guaranteed contract which I don't think any team will do. 1 Quote

CEN-CAL17 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Sounds like a Rams move…. Trade for a QB, give all our picks away. Win a superbowl and be terrible for the next 5 years after. Quote

Please do Miami! Jackson is a one trick pony and His knees been failing him the last 2 years. 1 1 Quote
K D Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 I think Jets would be the ones to watch for Lamar but I think Ravens will just tag him. I think Jets will get Carr if I had to guess. Dolphins lost draft picks going after Brady so they might as well just make it happen Quote
Doc Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Again I can't see anyone trading 1st rounders and giving a fully guaranteed contract to a guy who has missed the last 1/3 of the season 2 years in a row and wouldn't be available (or at least healthy) for the playoffs.

Especially in the Conference! Like all of these guys that think about the NFL “as a business”, he will end up playing for Houston because they’re the only team with picks and cap space. And then he will whither into obscurity. Thanks for playing Lamar, you went as far as those skinny legs would take you on a rookie deal. 1 Quote

The guy grew up a short drive down I-95 to where the Dolphins play now! It'd be a home town type experience for him. Quote

Unless that's the only way he's stay in Baltimore and he'd be willing to take a standard contract from a team of his choosing. Quote

Albany,n.y. Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 When I see stuff like this, it is assuming that Tua is done & will be retiring. That's really a stretch right now. If 2 weeks from now Tua announces his retirement, this makes sense, but right now it's premature. 1 Quote

I wonder if his (alleged) demand for a fully guaranteed contract isn’t because of how the Ravens use him. He takes more of a beating there than he would in a more conventional offense with good receivers who can get open. You can put me down as someone who does not want to see another quality QB in the AFCE, especially on the Phins or Jest. Both are a QB away from being very competitive.

That means draft picks +/- players which the Dols don't have, plus giving him a fully guaranteed contract which I don't think any team will do. Which means he is NOT being traded requiring picks. They may choose to use non-exclusive tag meaning no draft picks if someone signs but they get to match. The worry is a contract which is easily breakable and clause stating he cannot be tagged. #8 may do that just become a free agent. 11 minutes ago, BarleyNY said: I wonder if his (alleged) demand for a fully guaranteed contract isn’t because of how the Ravens use him.

He HAD good receivers but unable to perform and his friend Marquise "Hollywood" Brown went elsewhere to get better stats. Quote

The good WRs that have come through there have left for the same reason Lamar wants out - Roman’s offense. Quote
Scott7975 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 I dont see this happening. They dont have the draft picks and I dont think they even have the cap space to give the contract Lamar wants. Quote

Miami doesn't have the draft capital and Lamar probably wouldn't want to play for the Jets or Cheaters. Quote
