N4L Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Does anyone know what happens if lamar signs with a team that doesnt have a first this year? Miami does not have a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are worse bets that have been made, and truthfully, if the best of the two picks you're going to give up is only #16 (assuming Lamar could get them to a similar, if not better record next year), it's a pretty solid gamble. 50 million a year is really just market value if that's what it ends up at. Fully guaranteed may be the way this is going anyway....but maybe it's just 3 / 150 fully guaranteed or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I honestly like this move by the Ravens. They are tired of contract talks with Lamar, and Lamar not meeting them in the middle at all. This way, Lamar’s contract negotiation becomes some other team’s problem, and the Ravens will likely just match whatever top offer Lamar gets. Headache absolved. If the Ravens deem the contract is ungodly, two firsts isn’t a bad consolation prize. I think what happens is Lamar realizes his contract demands are absurd, Atlanta gives him his best offer, and I think there is at least a 60% chance Baltimore matches it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like could Indy take pick four and make it a bunch of late firsts and offer Lamar a billion over 20 years with few guarantees or something insane? I thought about this. Why would Lamar accept a contract with few guarantees? If, in this scenario, the Colts want him to sign, they'd have to guarantee $250 million, or whatever Lamar is asking. Also, if they trade down to the bottom of the 1st round, and the Ravens match so Lamar stays, you've wasted draft capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49erurtaza Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 This is huge if he does sign a fully guaranteed contract. It'll change the QB market going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that. Its been done twice before and it's still not a thing. I'm not sure that lamar changes that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 You know what makes the most sense? The New York Football Giants giving Lamar anything he damn pleases and two first round picks, instead of signing Daniel “Average at best” Jones to a crazy 40M a year. Let’s see if Daboll has balls of steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy doesn't have an agent and wants to be a billionaire. I think if you gave him a market deal that had a bunch of phony years to make it a billion on paper he'd like that.
