Lamar simply isn't a good enough QB right now to merit a big deal with tons of guaranteed money. Some dumb team will give it to him, but he's not worth it imo.

Just trade him then if it’s possible. Sadly anyone who sees racism is a mouth breather, especially considering the contracts Mahomes, Wilson, Dak, Murray, and Watson have received.

Agree that he'll end up being traded, and agree about anyone who sees racism in the Lamar situation being a mouth breather.

But the mouth breathers in most of today's media could find racism in a ham sandwich, and there are already many (Stephen A. Smith, RG3, Ryan Clark, Marcus Spears, etc etc etc) who have tried to make it about race. A simple 'Lamar Jackson + racism' google search will pull up pages of articles.

I don't care if he's black, white, purple, or green - I just don't think he's a QB that gives you a shot at winning a SB.
