Because they'll never admit that Lamar did this to himself. Lamar wanted to do this without an agent. Lamar was looking for guaranteed money when he's proven that it would be a bad investment for teams.

He wants teams to be on the hook for when he gets injured again...instead of acting like he just wants to play football and get paid according to what he's done.

You can't tell me that there wouldn't be teams out there lining up to pay Lamar $30+ million a season. They just don't want to do that when it's fully guaranteed and you're negotiating with the player himself.
