If a team let's the QB get to the final year of the contract, or makes him play under the franchise tag, I'm not sure I blame him for sitting out.

As a fan of the team it would suck, but if you haven't been able to come agreement with the team and have doubts you will...

An injury could cost him what? 9 figures?

I don't care for Lamar but let's not pretend this isn't a business even if he is an idiot for not having an agent.

I can maybe understand during the regular season, but the playoffs? GTFOH

And you act like the Ravens haven't given Lamar a fair offer. The issue is that he's not being reasonable because he has no agent and is representing himself rather poorly.

Anyways, I want my QB to be a competitive borderline asshole like Mahomes, not somebsky who would pass on an opportunity to go on a SB run.
