I'm curious what happens when he plays the year out on the tag. Is this a situation where he could play half the year and force the Ravens to double tag him like a Le'Veon Bell?

RavensTillIDie Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Wonder how this might change things, if the sale goes through. Curious if they would want to make a splash/statement trade similar to what the new Suns owner (NBA) did when he bought the team and immediately traded for Kevin Durant?

He'll inevitably stub his toe in week 18 and declare himself out for the playoffs. It's not worth investing my emotions in a season if he pulls the rug out from under the team again in the most crucial time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the 120% changes if Jackson were to "sit out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the 120% changes if Jackson were to "sit out" That's where it gets weird though, if they stick the non-exclusive tag on him next year, the second tag at an $8MM raise with no long term risk is probably an even better deal for the Ravens than the first year is. So Jackson is incentivized to Le'Veon Bell the season since he would want to make the second tag option as painful as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limits cap flexibility and maneuvering to add other pieces. But a 3rd round comp pick in 2025 is crap for return if he leaves via FA in 2024. Fascinating to see how it plays out Edited March 28, 2023 by squire12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating to see how it plays out Having Lamar play for 3XM is better for the cap then the new ~50M AAV contract even for a year. They can always push money forward from other contracts (Stanley, Humphrey, Marcus Willians, Andrews...) if they want to effectively spread the cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking 1 year on the FT. 2024 if Jackson were tagged again it's $38-39M with no way to alter that without an extension. The $50M avg QB contracts generally have cap hits much lower in the first 2-3 years based on structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get stomach cramps week 12 and be out for the rest of the year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
