He's just so humble
 
As has been previously reported, Jackson is insisting on a fully-guaranteed contract in talks with Baltimore, and the Ravens are reluctant to commit to that. A new report from Jeremy Fowler and Jamison Hensley of ESPN takes this a step further, stating that every counteroffer Jackson gave the Ravens was for more than Deshaun Watson got from the Cleveland Browns, all fully guaranteed.

In other words, Jackson had demanded over $230 million over five years from the Ravens, all of it guaranteed.

The Ravens had not even been willing to give Jackson the same contract as Watson received, and recent reports have suggested the two sides are very far apart in what they are willing to do as far as a new contract goes. The quarterback is likely to receive the franchise tag from the Ravens, but it does feel like a trade is increasingly possible as things continue to drag out.

I wouldn't even care if he went to the Raiders. Our defense would **** him up.

Very curious about what teams would be interested in Lamar at that price range. Is there any offense he could step into seamlessly with his style of play?

Step aside Russell Wilson. A new albatross is arriving to a desperate NFL franchise in your division

It will be interesting to see where he goes.

Dumb as a box of ... ;)

He's hoping someone is dumb enough to pay that much, because he knows his body. It's telling him it's not gonna last too much longer. My prediction of him being a bust may just be a couple of years early.

:D

Paton salivating at adding him at RB

Spott 02-24-2023 08:00 AM

That’s a lot of money for a RB with a bad knee to turn down.

Long term guaranteed Elite QB sized contract with a running QB? I can see where He'd want one in case he tears up a knee and is never the same. But, only really desperate teams would offer that type of contract.

The ravens would be kind of dumb not to trade him this off season. There’s just no way they’re going to get close on any kind of deal.

It will be an overpay both picks wise and $$$. But man he would be fun to watch in Arthur Smiths offense in Atlanta

FlaChief58 02-24-2023 08:20 AM

He should have taken Baltimore's offer of 130 million guaranteed money. His legs are starting to decline and his arm is nothing special. He bet on himself, but he may lose his shirt. I'm sure there's some very desperate team that'll pay him, just not what he thinks he deserves

tredadda 02-24-2023 08:23 AM

Even with his "issues" Watson is a far better passer and QB than Jackson. Any team willing to pay Lamar that amount guaranteed is foolish. Can't blame him for trying though as this will probably be his last big contract unless he dramatically improves as a passer. He is already starting to show signs of breaking down which means he won't be the dynamic runner he is now for much longer.

Lamar Jackson SHOULD be paid more than Watson. That’s what makes Watson’s contract so great. I want Lamar to get paid big, then all the other QBs need to demand more as well. Huge, cap-crushing contracts for all!

I doubt it happens but SF would be scary with all the weapons they have and then add a running QB.

If any team gives Jackson a fully guaranteed contract, I'll laugh at them as they fail for the life of the contract. But I really don't think that he gets it. Burrow, Herbert and Hurts will all get extensions soon. Those contracts will not be fully guaranteed. Then he will have to realize that the Browns were just stupid and Watson's contract means nothing. Hurts just went to the Superbowl. If his contract isn't fully guaranteed, Lamar Jackoff has no case for his being fully guaranteed
