Soko Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 This does change the formula, though. If Lamar is pressing to be traded, then that implies he’d be willing to accept a deal with a new team that Baltimore would match if signed on an offer sheet. Otherwise teams would’ve signed him to an offer sheet by now. Either that, or he mistakenly believes that the 2 FRPs are scaring people off and that he could be traded for less (he won’t be).

Wyld Stallyns Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Some Raven’s fans already hate the Colts because of the Mayflower incident. If Lamar goes to Indy and leads them to the AFC Championship game they will be pissed. We might even put a banner up next time they come to Indy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the negotiation equivalent of a guilty person who can't stand silence and has to confess. Lamar can't stand the lack of interest from the Ravens and other clubs in meeting his lofty demands, so he keeps flaring up to try to change the dynamic. Unfortunately for him, Lamar and the people around him are morons. He only makes himself more unlikable with every "chess move" he throws out and continues to hurt his own position. I mean the dude had to get publicly reprimanded by his own side(NFLPA) because of the Ken Francis debacle. This doesn't change all that much for me. He's still a player demanding a contract no one wants to give him and until there's some movement on that front it'll be more of the same posturing from Lamar up to that July 17th deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Just now, Soko said: And he thinks Baltimore is going to trade him for less than 2 FRPs? Seems unlikely. The non-exclusive tag limits what the Ravens can get back for him in a trade and the teams that can actually acquire him. So the best solution for all parties seems to be a trade where the Ravens can get what they consider fair value, the other team ensures that they're actually going to acquire Lamar, and Lamar can go somewhere that wants to pay him.

There’s no way Baltimore realistically believes a FRP + fluff is “fair value” for a franchise QB. If a team wanted to give Lamar that mega deal (that Baltimore has refused to offer) + 2 FRPs to Baltimore, they would have. So what does requesting a trade accomplish as far as changing that formula? To me, it’s incredibly unrealistic for anyone to believe Lamar would get straight up traded for less than two FRPs. So if it isn’t the pick compensation, it has to be the contract.
