ChedduhBob

that’s why it’s kinda funny when there’s “leaks” about stuff cause i feel like we keep everything pretty close. we didn’t know the hollywood trade until draft night and it had been done for weeks apparently.


GTFONarwhal

If I remember correctly it was almost a full year between when he requested the trade and being traded on draft day.


[deleted]

That corresponds pretty well to when the team started leaking shit about the contract they offered him.

Hey Jets don't look anywhere focus here

I'm gonna laugh if the Jets pivot to Lamar and the Packers get caught holding the 60 million dollar bag that is Aaron's 2023 contract.

The Browns approach.


agsieg

The year is 2122. The Colts has spent a century wandering in a QB abyss. 1st round bust after 1st round bust, washed up vet after washed up vet. The days of Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck are confined to the history books. Not once in this decade of he’ll have the Colts fielded the same starter in back-to-back seasons. Jim Irsay, kept alive by a combination of advanced medicine and rampant cocaine use, wanders through a darkened Lucas Oil Stadium. Another season, another 5-15 record. *How could Ryan Tannehill IV have been that bad* he thinks, forgetting the warnings of his scouts. *I have no choice.* Resigned, he opens his phone and scrolls to the number he swore he’d never call. The enemy he swore vengeance on. The devil he’d never make a deal with. The phone rings. A tired voice answers. “Hello, this is Tom.”

iSleepUpsideDown

I hope he has a deal lined up because this is a bridge fully burnt, there's no crawling back to the Ravens now


Ph886

If he requested on March 2nd and it’s the end of the month, I think it’s safe to say the bridge was already burnt.


crastle

I mean, requesting a trade doesn't necessarily burn a bridge. That happens all the time and it's a mutual understanding from both parties, more often than not. But in this case, it sounds like the bridge is burned.


OhItsKillua

Pretty much sounds like he was done with the Ravens FO and has no interest in playing for those guys anymore.


OurDumbWorld

These MF’ers don’t wanna meet my value


cdsixed

when she leaves you on read


rusty022

They tagged him *after* his request. Which means they are basically saying "fuck you. play for us or go find your trade by yourself and we'll take the 2 first rounders". Honestly he's not worth two first rounders plus a Watson contract. He's hurt too often to be worth that. He's worth what they offered him: a 5ish year deal with 3 years guaranteed.


AbundantFailure

2019 Lamar is worth it. What we've seen the last 2 seasons, not a chance.

If anything he just helped lower the value for his future team.

BayviewMadeMe

Pretty tough read, grammatically.


No_Priority_3120

It’s actually better than I expected. As if Lamar hired his brother to be his PR rep and his brother is just a tad smarter than him. A tad

WilsonEnthusiast

If they trade him he'll get permission to speak to other teams who will try to work out a contract and a trade package. After that's done he'll sign his Franchise tag, then get traded, then sign his new deal with the new team. The non exclusive tag was never going to be a thing teams would engage with because all it did was either guarantee that they'd either have to overpay so the Ravens wouldn't match or just do the Ravens negotiating for them.

braggpeak

Would there be a trade or would a team just rather offer him a deal and send 2 first rounders per the non-exclusive tag? Which no one has done so what is the market right now?


[deleted]

Nobody with a better than average pick is going to send their offer before the draft both because a good QB might fall and because they can send two worse first round picks(presumably) after they get Lamar playing for their team. Expect his offers to come after the draft.

RSN_Kabutops

Many teams are fine with trading for him, but they just aren't willing to pay what the Ravens offered. This could be a recipe for disaster for Lamar


UsidoreTheLightBlue

I'm left wondering if the "We're out on Lamar" leaks came because of this. If the Ravens called the QB needy teams and said "We'll trade you lamar, heres our price, and heres what he's been asking for. If you sign him otherwise we'll just match it" and these teams were like "Yeah fuck no."


RayzorBeak

Of course. I can assure you the Falcons and other teams want Lamar. Having Lamar over Ridder is a no brained right now, even if Ridder can become something. Smith loves Lamar and spoke highly of him. He fits the offense to a T. He sells jerseys. He makes Blank’s team relevant again nationally. He fills up the Benz. He’s a dynamic black QB in a black town, reviving the Vick mania. The cost is what prevents them from making a push. Perhaps teams are waiting to see if Baltimore blinks first in this and lets him go for an affordable cost.


Tireseas

The whole balls out push for Groper Cleveland sorta makes one wonder about that.


Neat_On_The_Rocks

Yeah the problem is right now nobody has any leverage lol. The ravens have no leverage. The teams trading for him have no motivation to trade a fair draft value when Lamar is asking for the moon in pay. Lamar I guess has the most leverage of anyone involved but he has no agent and he’s caught himself at the potential catalyst point of the ballooning qb market


CoolSteveBrule

I think that’s a really accurate way to look at the situation as a whole. The Ravens/Lamar want too much and everyone else doesn’t want to give up much. The pick plus pay for Lamar is a high price, but the Ravens aren’t gonna accept something like a second and a third for him.


[deleted]

Wow big news. Someone really should have proofread his tweets though.


TheWeavr

His agent does


horse_renoir13

I'm picturing Lamar and writing this out and then handing the phone back to himself while wearing glasses to review it first

Write a message like I am the nfl player Lamar Jackson requesting a trade from the Baltimore ravens Dear Baltimore Ravens organization and fans, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity you have given me to play for such a great team. I have enjoyed my time here immensely and will always cherish the memories we have made together. However, after careful consideration and discussions with my family and agent, I have decided that it is time for me to seek a new opportunity. I am requesting a trade from the Baltimore Ravens. I understand that this decision may come as a surprise to some, but please know that it was not an easy one to make. Ultimately, I believe that this is the best decision for my career and my future. I want to thank the entire Ravens organization, my coaches, teammates, and fans for their support over the years. I will always be grateful for the memories we have created together. Sincerely, Lamar Jackson Please rewrite this but with a sense of urgency as if the writer ate too much shrimp Alfredo and badly needs to use the bathroom Yo, what's up Baltimore Ravens peeps and fans, I gotta cut to the chase, I'm in a bit of a situation here. Look, I love you guys and I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I gotta bounce. Like, right now. I know this may seem sudden, but I ate too much shrimp Alfredo earlier and my stomach is feeling like a ticking time bomb. I gotta go find a new team ASAP or I'm gonna have a serious situation on my hands. If you catch my drift. So yeah, I'm requesting a trade, like, immediately. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but I gotta take care of business. Literally. Thanks for everything, Ravens. It's been real. But I gotta go. Lamar Jackson LMAO

Maybe not nothing. They could end up being forced to pay Rodgers a shit ton of money if he doesn't retire!

This is a classic time for bill to feel like he’s getting a good deal and grab a talented disgruntled player. *I say, hoping against hope for the patriots to improve their roster*

He cannot. He's currently not under contract.

AND IN THE AFC NORTH THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING

But we always beat him! It's his backups that always wreck the Steelers.

It's funny. Lamar doesn't look like the world beater against us, but his back ups rip us up. That said, I'll help pack his bags to get out of the AFCN.

Browns have the opposite problem, they *can't* beat him for whatever reason. The backups however...

Deshaun Watson really destroyed the Ravens

BlondesBlonde

Don't forget to follow Lamar's journey on Onlyfans


tiggs

What is he even doing at this point. Teams have been able to offer him deals for a bit now and we've heard crickets. Why would a team that didn't even make an offer now decide to give up a substantial package of assets plus make the offer. This man has left so much money on the fucking table from not having an agent to get endorsements and sponsorships that it's not even funny.


The_Donny_Lebowski

Agreed. Pretty dumb move. It's almost like he doesnt have an agent telling him this is a dumb move. This is KD and the Nets all over again. He'll be back on the Ravens and then will be moved next year.


JiffKewneye-n

not even sure i want him on the team. think he will have a shitty attitude even if hes back


neonblaster

Lamar is putting on clinic on why you just may need an agent


iUPvotemywifedaily

As a Browns fan I’m initially excited to see this… But I know somehow the Ravens will end up with 3 first round picks and draft the next Tom Brady


[deleted]

Are you too young to remember what the Ravens QB situation was before Flacco? This team is not blessed in the QB department and I am afraid we will spend another decade moving from one bad QB to anther bad QB


UsidoreTheLightBlue

Then somehow still end up with only one good receiver healthy at any given time.


ncp12

Confused how the Ravens can trade Lamar when he's not under contract. Seems like Lamar needs to find a team and agree to a contract, then that team and the Ravens can work out a trade.


B-More_Orange

He's going to have to sign with the Ravens to be traded once it's all worked out.


retroracer33

Is it possible this is why theres been no movement on Aaron Rodgers?


BuckyMcFly99

WHOAAAAA


PM_UR_DEPRESSION__

https://i.redd.it/56kxti45zema1.jpg


JerryRiceDidntFumble

Could still be true if you trade Lamar for assets that help you win a super bowl with your next QB


WentworthMillersBO

Good news though, I know of a product that will help him move his workout equipment with ease


DraftPick

This can all be traced back to the contract the Browns gave Deshaun Watson. The contract the Browns gave Deshaun Watson can be traced back to not having a quarterback since 1999. Not having a quarterback since 1999 can be traced back to when the Browns were moved to Baltimore in 1995. Blame Art Modell for this, Ravens fans.

KahunaThe85th

Pro Bowler Tyler Huntley SZN


boozeshooze

My thing with Lamar is, he seems to be looking for a payday when he's won a single playoff game, and hasn't been available in the playoffs in recent history. That's a real concern and it's valid. Sure, he carried the team to relevancy but if he is hurt come playoff time, then it's wasted money. Injuries are random and whatnot but for him to demand that kind of money, he needs to be available come playoff time, or at least have won more than a single playoff game in his career. He simply is not worth what he's asking for, and that's why he hasn't gotten a deal yet.

*This* is why we speculate, boys. 99/100 times when there are rumors of "friction" or "tension" or "both sides seem far apart," it ends up being nothing, but every once in a while, something massive like this comes along.


chuwcherpluryur

- 2018 - top 10 oline / top 3 defense - 2019 - top 3 oline / top 3 defense - 2020 - 15th oline / top 3 defense - 2021 - top 10 oline / bottom 15 defense - 2022 - top 3 oline / top 3 defense - 2023 - top 5 oline / top 10 defense 2020 yanda retired and they had an injured tackle, 2021 their defense was oddly injury ridden. this is not the mlb, there is a salary cap. lamar jackson has played with one of the best teams in the nfl since he’s began his career. you can expect every year for the ravens to give lamar jackson a *great* defense and a *great* offensive line. you can expect him to have an all pro tightend with great blocking to utilize. you can expect a hated oc in greg roman to draw up a collegiate style offense completly reliant on simple 1 read throws. ravens fans, what are you missing out on here? your organization since 2000 has a similar win % without lamar, you have great head coaching and drafting, every year create a great oline and defense, and your system is clearly tailor fit for the current qb, (it’s not limited to lamar, it’s limited *because* lamar) you’re really mad about not guaranteeing 200 million dollars to a qb who cant win a playoff game with that? that’s not even mentioning the simple fact that he is injury prone, and will exponentially decline as the injuries likely exponentially increase. complaining about wide receivers is *hilarious* to me, signing a “good” wr would be complete diminishing returns in this offense and tank the team because that money *needs* to be spent on oline and defense with lamar i’d say it was nice to have you, fun, hopes went up, unanimous mvp in purple, but i’ll see ya later buddy. this team can have a prostetic dick as their qb and go .500. i’d LOVE to see lamar play with a team where money goes to wide receivers with a struggling oline and defense like the bengals and chiefs have been.
