Going into the draft for a QB involves far more uncertainty than taking Jackson — who has proven he can play at a high level in the NFL.
Barring a major injury, Lamar will be in his prime by the time the Seahawks rebuild is completed over the next couple years. No need for desperation.
I agree. No way does Pete invest that kind of $$ in a QB. He only needs a good QB for a run first offense. He wants money to spread out on a deep defense.
I half agree. He’d have to have another league MVP year for me to go as high as 45 — and Ravens would do it themselves if that were to happen. But if you could get him at 35 for 5 yrs,, he’d start around 15% of cap and get down to 10-12% in year 4 or 5.
I agree it’s not gonna happen, but for a different reason. If they don’t agree to a long-term contract, the Ravens will just franchise tag him. They won’t trade him, unless he puts them in an impossible bind.
If he actually had a professional agent instead of some amateur morons giving him advice, they would tell him there’s no way the Ravens will pay him 50 in 2023 when they can just tag him for 20.
Franchise tag for QB next year is 45million, not 20.
He can easily get a multi contract but he would want the guaranteed money to be like Watsons
True, I was looking at WR by mistake. It’s still a big gamble to not lock in the $133 million guaranteed. He could blow out his knee next week and be up the creek. I’m thinking of Tarik Cohen of the Bears this year who never recovered from his ACL surgery and retired.
With the dumb plays yesterday, he lost a game that should have been an easy win for the Ravens. That’s not how to get the $250 million contract!
