BillMafia716ix Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Lamar messed up playing this past season I would have sat out. But it’s wild that so many QB needy teams would rather gamble with a rookie QB than sign a proven winner in the prime of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think he would have strengthened his "I want a fully guaranteed contract" position by sitting out last season after missing the last 5 games plus at least 1 playoff game of the previous season? He had no idea he'd get injured again and miss the same number of games again. All of which in addition to having to give up 2-1st round picks are making teams shy away from trying to acquire him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s on a well coached team that schemed for him he hasn’t won big playoff games and is injury prone - he botched this deal and should fire his agent because he cost himself a lot of money I think he gets less cash now and if plays on franchise I could see it going worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Turned down Ravens offer of 3 years $133 million fully guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does his tweet mean that, or that he might want that or maybe had just agreed to that deal? The way it came off I thought he was saying that to refute the false claims of what he wanted or may have turned down. But I didn’t look at it closely either cuz I don’t really care about his contract situation. Edited March 14, 2023 by Alphadawg7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going on Twitter and telling an average american who's probably making less than 60K a year he just turned down 133M guaranteed is always a good thing, what could go wrong? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 On 3/9/2023 at 3:43 PM, DrDawkinstein said: Stafford has 130,000,000 guaranteed reasons to come back tho It's a worse deal than paying Lamar $270M fully guaranteed imo because of how old and beat up Stafford was when they signed it. Lamar has been injured, but at least he should have 5 more years playing ahead of him. Stafford barely had 5 months left. Rams are screwed with Stafford. Won 3 games out of 9 last year (10 TDs, 9 INTs)....then got injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behindenemylines Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Can’t recall where I read it but Lamar may sit out this year and not sign the tag-if that’s possible. what happens to his value then? I would think it tanks. I mean has sitting out ever actually worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He continues to refuse to get an agent even though he brags about this offer he turned down. He wants more than that! His value isn’t worth his ask. And he’s demonstrating a huge self awareness maturity issue. And he’s getting the same result. No contract. For an oft injured 1-3 playoff qb that has to have an O created around his skill set. He’s a good qb (8-12) but many going back to his draft year aren’t convinced he’s a SB qb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be snatched up by someone, for big bucks, when he becomes available. He's clearly done in Baltimore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure, but doesn't agent(s) normally advise against sitting out a year in these type situations? Considering he doesn't have an agent though, curious how it ends up if he hurts himself much more than help himself with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth is what any team will pay for him, as simple as that. You are correct, he is oft injured and a maturity issue. If he persists in insisting on being a Raven and the highest paid QB, then no team will likely bend to his wishes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I wonder what happens when later this afternoon nobody beats a path to his door ready to give him whatever he wants. So maybe he signs the franchise tag and stays in Baltimore. I don't think sitting out the year is in his best interests. I think maybe his MVP went to his head.

Also one of the highest rated QBs from inside the pocket last season without a real NFL WR Corps. Dude is elite. Also, where are the maturity issues? Everything I've read about him is that he is one of the best dudes in the league as a star Edited March 14, 2023 by appoo 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a huge collusion whiff coming from LJ and the Owners that has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with that insanely stupid contract the Browns paid for Watson. The NFL Owners believe building on that contract would break the Salary Cap as its currently structured - they're probably not wrong either - but if they are collectively black balling Lamar because they don't want to pay any QB more than what Watson got, that's really unfair to LJ, who's done nothing but earn being a top 5 QB, after being told he should be a WR coming into the draft. Like, LJ is the kind of person you WANT being the face of the league. Young, Charismatic, the local population absolutely loves him as a human being, philanthropic minded, personable, funny, and a truly special athlete and QB. They're picking on the wrong dude here. He's essentially the opposite of Jay Cutler Edited March 14, 2023 by appoo 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
