It’s not an outrageous ask. Plus teams buy insurance to cover contracts for injuries. can he hit a curveball??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a high risk business which NFL football actually is a sweet deal is getting the most guaranteed up front. If you happen to survive you extend. The word was $133M fully guaranteed. Bank that and hit free agency again at 28 or 29 years old? Seems pretty sweet to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re looking to maximize your income, and believe in yourself, that’s a pretty sweet deal. You’ll have to find that Rodgers post for me, thanks. My biggest problem with Jackson is that he’s not plug & play. He’s a tough fit in most traditional offenses. Rodgers, otoh, is the prototype - regardless of his personality. Rodgers personality is developed by the Media not by Rodgers himself. He stated the truth when GB routinely let really good players walk and while very close to a SB contender signed Rodgers replacement that at the time offered the team nothing. Rodgers came out of his retreat and was told by the Packers he was no longer in their plans. If we are going to let the media dictate players personalities to the fans then sports fans are truly lost. In the case of Lamar, he's been the one outspoken on social media. The Ravens have always been a class organization and they offered Lamar a very good deal . The guy is pushing hard for guaranteed money because he's probably damaged goods and he knows it. Regardless how he got injured he did get Injured and if people think that wont have an effect on the better part of his game and longevity there nuts. Even if fully healthy he's a bad QB anyway but an electric runner. So tell me how many RUNNING QB's have won SB's ? The Answer is 0 and that includes Josh Allen who by running the football fumbled away a few playoff games and he can throw the football. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty sweet to me. according to reports, it was $133 million fully guaranteed at signing with other guarantees that could have reached $200 million. it was more than murray and more than wilson in terms of full guarantees at signing, but not as much as watson's fully guaranteed $250 million. again, this is based on reports and full details aren't known. https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/news/lamar-jackson-baltimore-ravens-contract-kyler-murray-russell-wilson-free-agency-compare-tag ESPN's Adam Schefter spoke on his podcast and gave the finer details of the monster contract that Jackson refused last season. "Chris Mortensen and I reported on this last September when Lamar Jackson was offered a deal that he turned down that included, at the time it was offered, $133 million due at signing [guaranteed]," Schefter said. "The contract also had injury guarantees that brought the guarantees to $175 million. Then it had a springing guarantee that could have brought the value of the contract, the guaranteed money in the contract to $200 million in guarantees. “Those were way more than what Kyler Murray got from Arizona and way more than what Russell Wilson got from the Denver Broncos and yes, those were the actual numbers."

I was responding to he should take less guaranteed to get a second bite at the Apple. Cam Newton is an example of why he shouldn't. He's a unique talent that is at higher risk for a shortened career than a lot of other QB's who if they get an ACL can come back and continue their career as a pocket passer. Because he is a dynamic multi-threat QB, he is under greater risk and he provides greater reward in a smaller window. Him wanting to get more in his prime without a second chance after his prime makes a lot of sense for both sides. Cam Newton took a team to the SB on the back of his MVP season. The Ravens without Lamar don't sniff the playoffs and that's with a top NFL HC, something we don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
