It may be funny, but he's got bad timing. There's just not a market for him. He's too costly at too high of a risk. Just like Odell. He wanted $20M. Now, he'll take less (because nobody was offering him anywhere near that).Originally Posted by Todd Gack

He just needs to hire an agent and get it over with. He's already cost himself millions is about ready to cost himself more. The market is there for him. He's just stubborn and he thinks more highly of himself than everyone else is willing to pay. It's not hard to understand but he's the only one who doesn't understand it.

Lamar announced on Twitter today that on March 2nd he requested a trade from the Ravens.
Bud Selig: "I'm the worst commissioner ever"
Rob Manfred: "Hold my beer"

That's pretty much what a non exclusive franchise tag is
Go work out a trade Lamar. Ball's in your court

Lamar wanted to act like it was his idea.
All of these talking heads that are challenging the rest of the NFL like they don't know what they are doing, saying things like "I would have been talking to the Ravens yesterday, or I would have traded for Jackson already, completely have ignored the biggest issue when it comes to Jackson....his vulnerability to injury and high chances that he can't finish a season. Who want to give that much gauranteed money for a player who has a 100% chance of missing games every season, at least a 30% chance to miss playoff games, and a 100% chance of missing games that effect the team's playoff seedings, or even their ability to make the playoffs in the uber-strong AFC (which the Colts are in)? You can pay Gardner Minshew or someone like him, along with whoever they take with their 1st Rd pick a total of $50M over the next five seasons, or you can pay Lamar Jackson $250M over the next five seasons. In addition to the draft picks you save by not giving up compensation of Jackson (one 1st Rd pick), you get to have $200M over the next five years that can be used at other positions.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
Ravens played this well by putting the tag on him they essentially killed his value...and no team is giving him guaranteed money.
Not having an agent is killing him right now...
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
At this point I don't see how Lamar can go back to Baltimore. Too many bridges have been burned

Lamar Jackson would be guaranteed $32.4 million for one season if he were to play for Baltimore next year. I'm a Louisville guy who loves Lamar, but excuse me if I don't feel bad for him and his "predicament".

Same the more Lamar does the worse this situation looks for him...
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I posted this before but Lamar didnt then and doesnt now want to play for the Ravens anymore, and he wont. He may never play in the NFL again.
Wait why would he never play in the nfl again?
What would you say.....ya do here?
No ones going to give up 2 firsts for him.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts the sails.
William Arthur Ward
Ok? So he will play next year?
What would you say.....ya do here?
He hates the Ravens $32 million worth? That would be an impressive amount of hate.
For who, he can only play for the Ravens, he is under contract with them. They own his rights. If he sits out and doesn't play, it doesn't count as a contract year, and they still own his rights. Then we are back in the same situation again next year.
