If Lamar is saying hey I’m only accepting offers of gully guaranteed 250m plus contracts than he has his head up his butt The tweet is vague. The assumption is that he wants a fully guaranteed contract in that range. He can negotiate with teams so he can tell them what he wants and they can decide to offer him a contract or not. He can refuse to accept it or not. If not, he will be making his tag offer as his salary, 33 million or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeTayne Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Alright, Lamar...move it along. I'm already exhausted by this story. He needs to sign in Baltimore or somewhere else and on to the next tasty treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just teams' owners independently calculating his QBing skills are no longer worth the headache he also brings with him. He just really wasn't a good enough of a player for teams to justify the circus. Just like Tim Tebow. It's not collusion. It's fans overrating a player and underrating the associated unattractive circus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not Tim Tebow, and the "headache" you speak of, was civil rights.....smh And Tebow signed with the Jaguars, Eagles, Jets and Patriots Edited March 11, 2023 by MonserinNC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was good enough, he would have got a contract he liked and signed it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Businessmen don't often choose a polarizing political position. It's not good for business. We can't hold it against them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonserinNC Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I sort of agree with both of you guys, but can we just say YES they are colluding!! haha my whole point was just these arent happy coincidences.....Lamar is a black man who represents himself and no one wants to pay him.....Garrapollo is like the most sought after dude in the league haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if every owner had strong racist beliefs most are still going to care more about money/success than the color of the skin of a QB. Everything isn't right in the world but high dollar entertainment industries care more about green than any other color. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other team wants to gamble like that, especially if it isn't a top 5 QB and Jackson hasn't been top 10 over the last two seasons. That said, Mahomes could demand and get a fully guaranteed contract but I think he was confident enough that his team wouldn't want to move on from him anyway so there was no need. He will eventually ask for more money as the market dictates but I still doubt he is worried about being cut so the guaranteed money wouldn't matter than much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
