Yeah, but can you imagine if they did it that. I mean trading Rodgers, getting Jackson and unloading Love, People in Wisconsin would lose their collective mind. It would be Awesome to see how much drama that move would make
Here's my $.02 on this. Remember about 2, maybe 3 years ago, the Ravens were looking to extend his contract but he refused to sit down with them. Prior to the Watson contract, word leaked out that the Ravens had no idea of what his demands were. I think once Deshaun Watson got that fully guaranteed contract, Lamar let it be known that's what he wanted. I believe they were offering Watson type money, just not the fully guaranteed.
They've been talking. There was a report that the Jets owner and other executives flew to GB yesterday and spent time with Rodgers and flew home this morning
Nope, and so far in his limited outings, he's failed to impress people. Didn't he work with the starters in the preseason and minicamps when Rodgers was doing his own thing with ayahuasca. He
I'm not going to disagree with out, but I think that's how all of professional sports work. The envelope is continually pushed higher
I'm of two minds on this contract. Jones really had the Giants on the horns of a dilemma. Over pay Jones with the idea of tagging Barkley or tagging Jones and letting Barkley go into free agency.
Here's where the Ravens were smart but the same can't be said for Lamar. He's his own agent and I think that's going to come back to haunt him. He ought to have seen the lessons how poorly that worked out for Dante Culpepper. All I can say is that its hubris and arrogance to think an elite athlete can also be a great lawyer, negotiator and know the ins and outs of navigating free agency (or in his case non-exclusive franchise tag)
Oh no question and there is wisdom with that move. I forget where I saw it, either an article or a YT, but the author provided a supposition with evidence that when you pay a QB for top dollar they rarely end up in the SB, simply due to the fact that there's now less money to spread around and improve other facets of the team
Well, because they had two consecutive aging HOF QB’s. Was it not the same situation the Patriots were in with Brady? SF with Montana? The Colts with Manning? Etc.
I don't get why he signed with the Saints. New Orleans has been in cap hell for what feels like a decade. They started 2023 with being 53 million dollars over the cap, and while they've been working to trim that - they're still 25 million over the cap.
