He's just so humble

[Rainbarrel]

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.

It was hilarious today on the radio listening to Jason LaCan'tfora having kittens swearing that Lamar was a top 3 QB in the league because he was a unanimous MVP in 2019. He really lost his shit when a caller pointed out that that was four years ago and Lamar's been getting worse every year since.

BUT, MVP . . . .

I'd make Jackson the highest RB1 in the league, fully guranteed.

During the latest edition of "The Lombardi Line," the former NFL general manager said Jackson told the Ravens to acquire both Odell Beckham Jr. and DeAndre Hopkins. If those alleged demands were met, he'd apparently talk about a long-term extension.

"I was told reliably by somebody who's involved that Lamar told them in a conversation, 'get Hopkins and get Beckham, and then we can talk.' The club went back to them and said look, we can't get Hopkins and Beckham. We just can't afford both, but we'll get one of them - and they got Beckham," Lombardi said.

Lombardi said a trade involving Hopkins would be complicated because he wants a raise.

That being said, Ravens fans would love to see Hopkins in Baltimore this fall.

Lamar, OBJ and Hopkins would be a nearly unstoppable combination. The Ravens opponents for the four games when all three players are healthy will really have their hands full.

Good grief if they did that to appease Jackson. Besides if that is true then I still wouldn’t do it as Jackson would only discuss a long term deal. What would probably happen is he signs his tag, hopes DHop and OBJ make him look better than he is and increase his demands next year.

I could also see the Ravens owner saying no to that to prevent Snyder who is detested by pretty much every owner from screwing over the league.

[Chiefspants]

Snyder is now gone from Washington, right?

[jjchieffan]

If the Ravens were to get Hopkins to go along with OBJ, then they better get a quarterback. Because their running back behind center isn't capable of taking advantage of those weapons.

Lamar going to a RB offensive coordinator maybe a good thing for him. If EB can get the most production out of Lamar he should be HC the next year.

I really dont think Lamar understands the salary cap, more for them less for you

-Missed a bunch of games last year
-2242 passing yards
-17 TD's
-7 INT's
-Demanding a ridiculous contract
-Draft is right around the corner

Verdict: Take the picks and run. BAL's window isn't going to reopen either way. The AFC is too good.

[stevieray]

Overrated.

The fascination is baffling.

[Rainbarrel]

He could be the Jets' Russell Wilson after Rodgers strikes again

He’s still leveraging that MVP four years ago despite not playing even remotely close to that level since. To each their own, but any team that pays him what he wants deserves the purgatory he will put them in.

[oldman]

Any team that gives him that kind of guaranteed money is flat out stupid. He's not a top-tier QB any more. And to give up 2 1sts on top of that? I'm not sure even the Raiders are that nuts.
