He's saying he could've gotten hurt anytime prior to week 12 and didn't spot those out to protect his payday then so why would he be sitting out to protect it in the postseason?

Ah, okay. Never mind then.

Lamar needs an agent, a publicist, an English teacher, a passing teacher…

seems like the market, for his price, is dryer than the Mojave

He's not worth what he's asking, simple as that.

Is he a dynamic QB that can help a team win games? Sure.

Is he good enough as a passer to carry a team to the SB? No, apparently not without a top-5 running game and defense.

Does he have to rely heavily on his running ability to do so? Absolutely.

Has been injured twice in consecutive seasons that effectively kept him from playing in 40% of his regular season games and the playoffs? Yep.

No GM in their right mind is going to guarantee Lamar 5+ years at $200 million, based on the above. 4 years, maybe. The equivalent of $40 million/yr maybe. I wouldn't, but I'm not a GM like Joe Schoen.

Lamar Jackson has found out that there is only ONE team in the NFL dumb enough to give a fully guaranteed contract to an often injured QB and it was the Cleveland Browns.

No one else is THAT dumb.

Lamar had zero obligation to play injured for the Ravens, a team that had no intention of giving him a contract.

Lamar's miscalculation, IMO, was demanding a fully guaranteed contract. It's clear NFL owners aren't interested.

Time for him to come back to reality on that and go get paid by a team that wants to win games.

His miscalculation was thinking "I have no obligation to play for a team that has no intention of giving me a contract..."

When someone tries to tell you who they are - listen.

I'm sure that matters on the edges but it's not the reason for his lack of market.

1. Fully guaranteed contract

2. Most teams won't just adapt to a Lamar. You need one of a handful of coaches that could design an offense for him.

Atlanta not in on Lamar puzzles me.

The QB they drafted last year is crap, not a legit starter.

Their head coach runs an offense that could make Lamar work.

Two first round draft picks are scaring away a lot of suitors. Jackson is not nine figure guaranteed money and two firsts good. I genuinely would have liked to see his market without the tag. That would have been the best gauge of his value ala Orlando Brown Jr.

Well, we won't know what his actual market is for the reasons already covered.

He should hire an actual agent because he sucks at it. He's not making himself $$$.

I don't actually agree with you regarding Ridder.

I think he can be a quality NFL quarterback. Essentially a mobile Carr.

I think they're smart to give him a shot. They're not a real contender even with Jackson and the growing pains associated with Ridder learning the NFL ropes will allow them to continue drafting potential impact players.

They're playing a long game here and I think it's the right decision.

I don't see it but it does sound like what Atlanta is going to do.

Arthur Blank addressed this pretty directly. All the reasons specified in this thread.
