diamondbull424 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, RavensTillIDie said: I was going off this: If the Ravens oblige Lamar Jackson’s trade request, the terms of the deal would not automatically be 2 first-round picks, as would be the case if a team signs him to an offer sheet. As long as Jackson signs his franchise tag tender, any terms can be agreed to - for more or less… — Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 27, 2023 Is this accurate? I’ve seen reports that non-exclusive tender being applied and signed based off the new collective bargaining agreement means that the max is two FRPs. Hopefully the above is true otherwise this was a huge organizational miscalculation. Edited March 27, 2023 by diamondbull424 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 1 hour ago, SalvadorsDeli said: Something strange to me about "requesting a trade" when you've already been given the go-ahead to negotiate with other teams. It's just Lamar trying to juice the field once again.... He thinks all of this noise will drum up the offer that hasn't existed(from any club) to this point. I can imagine he's also motivated to try and take back narrative control after his 'Ken Francis' blunder. Simply one more transparent step from Lamar. We probably aren't too far away from him deleting everything Ravens off his social media, some liked tweets vaguely referring to the Ravens as nefarious actors, etc etc. The now standard tactics of players seeking more money in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know we're not getting any interest from other teams, so we're gonna manufacture that. You need to say you requested a trade on March 2nd, this will make it official for other teams that you want to be gone." "But I don't want to be gone...?" "Yeah that's right. So this will inflate your value!" "Oh, okay. I guess." "It's brilliant! Trust us!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Look at how stupid Tony Jefferson is- It's always fascinating to me how some fans/3rd party observers break under the emotional drain of negotiations they aren't involved in. 'The Ravens and Lamar are negotiating' = "Oh my god we're in a full rebuild!!! Just tank already!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Lamar is trying to win the the court of public opinion, but he doesn't realize that it doesn't matter at all. All that matters is trying to convince 1 out of 32 owners to break the bank for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Can all we agree that the Ravens have handled all of this perfectly? Non-exclusive franchise tag was perfect. We have control of Lamar and can tag him back to back years while paying less than fair AAV. Did Lamar's tweet throw off Harbuagh? Nope, he handled all the questions perfectly from the clips I saw. Whole team is convincingly putting out support for him, while maintaining all the leverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t agree until we actually get fair compensation or Lamar long term… all the other stuff will be irrelevant if this sets the team back half a decade or longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
