With Tom Brady under center yes, since he left.....not as many.

There's making a billion decisions and then making a defensive coordinator your offensive one simply because he's one of your guys. It's the equivalent of the Texans taking football advice from a former preacher and eventual interim GM because he was just around the locker room long enough and had connections.

There are ways to do it, but there are hurdles as well. If a player is tagged with a franchise tag, that player is still technically a free agent until they sign the offer (the “franchise tender”). Prior to that, they don’t have a valid contract with the original team (henceforth: “Team A”), so you can’t trade a player who doesn’t actually work for you. So start with the fact that unless the player SIGNS the franchise offer, the answer is a flat “no” because there’s no valid contract. That’s the player’s leverage in all of this. What Team A does have is the RIGHTS to the player — they do exert some control over his ability to play for anyone else (“Team B”). There are three different cases: Exclusive franchise tender (almost always used on QBs): the player can ONLY sign or sit out. No right to go elsewhere. Non-exclusive franchise tender: the player can negotiate and sign with Team B, but by virtue of making the franchise offer, Team A gets two #1 picks from the new team, driving up the cost of acquiring the player. This price USUALLY scares off any interest; I can’t remember the last time someone actually paid the price. Transition tag: works similarly in terms of the tender offer and the right to match the offer, but with no draft-pick compensation. It’s rarely used because if you’re (Team A) gonna go through this process at all, you want to get some picks back. It’s important to understand that in all three cases, the tender offer is the average of the top players at the same position, so the trade-off for controlling that player’s movement is you have to pay him like a star for that one year. And it’s guaranteed money. I think there are legitimate negotiations going on since Lamar now has nothing else to focus on but that and rehab, all the bull **** aside Lamar wants to get paid and win a championship like all NFL players, he's just doing it on his own terms. What those are, only Lamar and the ravens know.

To put his existence into context, Joe Flacco is older than him, was drafted 2 years before him, and he's been a coach since 2019. Bring this man in so he can McVay our offense for a whole year before he bolts to the browns.

Non exclusive tag is the only way that's happening and even then I don't think the ravens do that simply because they need the leverage. Diamondbull's offer makes the most sense and even then, what do we get if we shop Lamar a couple picks and hopes we land a franchise QB, in 2023 we roll with Tyler Huntley/Insert vet here and go to QB purgatory for the next 1-10 years? Not worth wasting the current roster on. Pay Lamar what he's worth (Market setting QB contract whether that's guarenteed money or APY with a contract structure beneficial to the ravens)

Still dumb with expanding the playoffs (Not expanding it but not adjusting it to suit the higher seeds better) and taking away the no.2 seeds bye.

Bill Belichick is a fantastic coach, terrible decision maker.

Start with yakuza 0 if you do, it's a prequel and really helps flesh out the later games.

*looks at broncos offense* please god no.

Future super bowl winner Zach "Milf Tamer" Wilson will smash Mahomes into the dust.

Nah. Somebody's gotta outcoach and stop the guys who have made the NFL a passing league, it's just the trend.

Every show is different tbh. AOT is mostly just waiting for season orders and then actually animating it which takes forever. Rick and morty was waiting on contracts (hence 70 episode order so they can work forever on it) and writing because new seasons/comedy writing is *hard*. Then you have FOX which uses incredibly cheap **** to make it easy to animate.

Do it again, because a top 10 QB isn't just talent it's consistently succeeding in this league.

Mfer still hasn't won a road playoff game. HOW.

I remember debating between Jameis and Mariota loooooooooooool.

I swear there was an invincible thread LOL.

"I've never killed a mountain lion, but I've choked some cougars" no longer applies to derek wolfe.

You're good, only so much finegling you can do.

Three straight road games to end the year, oof.

The Birmingham Football Team has issued a statement. "Due to unforeseen circumstances and widely circulating rumors surrounding contract negotiations with our franchise QB and his current injury it would not be wise for us to offer an official statement at this time regarding the status of an impending free agent this far away from free agency, however you can expect we will do everything in our power to retain the only QB in NFL history to win a unanimous MVP. "

Ya'll truly underestimate it only takes one dumb team for the ravens to be like "Aye **** it rebuild and we'll find our guy in the draft somewhere" Commanders are definitely dumb enough and bonus lamar is out of conference. Jets would easily pay that for a proven commodity. Lamar doesn't get a say where he's going, he gets the $ he wants for a franchise that's willing to pay him for it, who it is is not up to him that's up to the ravens. Colts are definitely drafting their guy same with Atlanta but again franchise QB's are the one asset in football once you have a shot to get them you pull the trigger (See Rams, Browns past two offseasons) Falcons it's rare but they are willing to give big money/capital for impact players (Julio Jones, Alex Mack) granted under dimitroff but all it takes is someone convinced Lamar can be their guy.

Spiderman Miles Morales and BOTW for the first time in forever.

Houston traded Watson and a 2024 sixth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for first-round picks in 2022, 2023 and 2024; a third-round pick in 2022; and a fourth-round pick in 2024. That resulted in Houston acquiring the 13th and 107th overall picks of the 2022 NFL Draft. Deshaun Watson signed a 5 year, $230,000,000 contract with the Cleveland Browns, including a $44,965,000 signing bonus, $230,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $46,000,000. Mind you this is all AFTER the allegations came out. Do we really think Lamar isn't as worth as much as Deshaun "Derrick" Watson. Lamar's one downside is injuries but like ehhh....injuries in today's NFL vs. a PR ****storm I'd say balances out.
