See what they do, see if the relationship blows up even more...just maybe they come down on the 2 firsts and just maybe if you do a sign and trade, Jackson becomes more realistic with something to prove.
But I am not sure the 150 million gets it done, looking north of 200.

That's why I said $150 + million minimum. Yeah, you are probably right that it's looking north of $200 million. That is what is scaring off teams. Jackson is good, but not that good.
To me, the best thing overall would be to just lift the tag and let him test the market. I get why Baltimore isn't doing this, but I am getting to a point where I would be surprised if Jackson ever suits up for the Ravens again. At least if they let him walk they can plan accordingly. If not, no team will give up picks and the contract he supposedly wants.
