Tough road but good for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETS SB Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 So, in the event the non-exclusive tag is placed on Lamar Jackson, he would get to negotiate with the rest of the NFL, with some dumb team giving him 50 mil per season, fully guaranteed for 8 years or something like that. PLUS the team would have to give up 2 first round picks. I think the Ravens, at that point, take the 2 first round picks and run. I like Lamar a lot for the Jets, but isnt that a bit crazy?

A bit crazy. A team like Miami would not be eligible. A team would need to have a 1 this year and next according to Mike Tannebaum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Seems like we’re heading toward the tag. Can’t see the Ravens giving up the rights to Lamar with the non-exclusive tag, but look out if they do 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting the market decide Jackson's worth and at worst getting a pair of 1sts out of the deal doesn't seem like a terrible idea on Baltimore's end. Especially since I don't expect Jackson to play on the franchise tag. Sort of a win-win approach for both sides. Lamar is confident he can get the fully guaranteed deal he's seeking. Well, here's an opportunity for him to seek it out from any of the 31 teams, right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want Jackson, watching that drama unfold would be grade A entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough road but good for him! He also went to the USFL to play for a bit as well. We need to send Zach to a semi competitive alternate league to hone his craft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 They’ve waited this long already. They should keep waiting to see if Ravens non-exclusive tag Lamar. Would be a potential game changer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, one of the owners is like sure, head nod wink wink to his peers but if the exclusive tag is slapped on him, there is an owner who will go get Lamar. 100%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that happen? Why doesn’t he have an agent?

Because the values of NFL rookie contracts are mostly fixed, so Jackson figured he could get that taken care of himself. "I know coming in as a rookie, an agent doesn't really negotiate anything," Jackson explained to USA Today. "You're going to get the salary you're going to get.

His mother is his manager but he didn't want to pay an agent to 'negotiate' his rookie deal, which I can't even honestly fault since it's pretty much non-negotiable anyway. This time around? He's going to get a monster deal but he's determined to get Deshaun's guaranteed money, which the Ravens will never pay. An agent might be able to get both sides closer to the middle, but he still seems locked in on not paying the 1.5-3% fee agents get. Time will tell... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
