Preston: It’s time for the Ravens and Lamar Jackson to part ways

[tsylvester]

FYI, the Bill's had to restructure both Allen's and Miller's deals to get under the cap and have some left over for free agents.

All they, & the Browns are doing is kicking the can down the road in hopes of a much bigger salary cap.

Like you, I hope that this soap opera ends soon one way or another

[tsylvester]

& Jackson’s reply to the latest Shefty story on the deal the Ravens offered

 

[tsylvester]

Lamar-"People throw at the wall and hope it stick"

 

Well, when, then man up and speak your mind like an adult, how much did the Ravens offer?

It's gonna come out soon, it being the truth about what they offered and you turned down. Don't call people liars unless you can prove it.

[GrubberRaven]

He also tweeted 133/3 Guaranteed...guess he wants that full guaranteed.  I hope he gets a big piece of humble pie.  

[tsylvester]

Kirk Cousins reworked his deal to free up cap space. Yet another major guaranteed contract that had to be reworked for a team.

Here is the next big question, If Lamar is signed, a year or two down the road, will he be willing to rework his deal as needed?

[oldno82]

Hard to say. Lamar has become very difficult for me to read and sounds like the Ravens have the same problem.

[tsylvester]

Well today is the day when it can start, who will offer, what will they offer, will the Ravens match.

[GrubberRaven]

What if he went to the Colts?

[tsylvester]

Number 4 & 35 this year, plus a 1 next year works for me

[tsylvester]

Beware the Ides of March.... how spooky, Et Tu Brute!

[tsylvester]

Mayfield off the board, 1 year up to $8.5 mil to the Bucs, Likely taking them off the board as well..

[tsylvester]

Brisette off the market, to the Commandos

[tsylvester]

Sos it has been just over an hour since he has had the phone lines open. Did he get 100 calls from telemarketers, from phone banks selling extended warranties, or from the Disabled Insurance group..... did he just go round in circles?

 

[oldno82]

I wonder if/when will know if he's had a serious offer.

BTW all  the decent 'bridge' quarterbacks are going fast. Mayfield, Brisset, etc.

And we have no money to spend.

[tsylvester]

If he gets an offer, the team has to be notified, the team will have 5 days to match or trade. So I would expect to find out pretty quickly.

Lamar today

 

[tsylvester]

Well, teams, including the Ravens, have until July to make an offer, to extend him. They may wait until after the draft to decide.. so we need

That is a long time to keep 32 mil open on the cap if you want to sign him.

[tsylvester]

Well, well, well, Lamar came to his senses and agreed to the original offer...... if you believe that, then I have

True, but it has been done before, just heard Mike Tannenbaum go through the process of how they got Farve to the Jets.

[papasmurfbell]

that was a trade.  Only 1 player has changed teams via on offer sheet who was tagged.

[tsylvester]

Yes, just pointing out that the Jets had been planning on Favre for a few months & only were able to pull the trade off in August of that year.

With June one post cut designations and such, a team like the Colts or Texans could wait till then to make an offer

[papasmurfbell]

Then they are pissing away 2023.

[GrubberRaven]

I'm not as impressed with the free agent pool this year, so signing someone this year is not high on my radar.

The pickings are getting slimmer, Brissett would have been better than Huntley, but with him gone I guess Huntley is the best choice

[tsylvester]

Lamar today
