Lamar Jackson

[Garthshort]

Every day I hear that Lamar Jackson still doesn't have a contract, and when will he have one. And whether he should play w/o one. Now, maybe I missed it, but for me the obvious question that should be asked is:
Would he have a contract if he had an agent? If so, there would be a person working full time on contract negotiations. Am I wrong?

 

[tnmike]

You may be right

What's the going percentage take for a big agent these days?

3% on salary I believe, it's capped. They can make more on endorsements. Pays for itself.

But for Lamar to hire an agent just to handle his deal would be 3%.

I don’t think it’s the agent they just don’t want to pay him because of his style of play I think. That’s the story with the sports media

Everything I've seen in the media has been that the Raven's are desperate to do something and Lamar is the one delaying things.

Maybe Lamar is spending too much time on football and not enough on contracts. If he only had an agent.

What happens when Lamar tears his ACL?

Pretty dumb for him if that happens.

I bet the Ravens add a contracts clause in his next contract. ;-)

 

[BulldogCard]

I'd franchise him twice. Rb playing qb. His throwing needs to improve before I pay that.

 

[Garthshort]

That might work the first year, but would happen if he holds out the next year.

They won’t give him the money he wants. I get it you got a guy in your own division getting paid a lot more than you.

If your Lamar you say hey I never sexually assaulted anyone, I’ve been a model on and off the field I’m an MVP. It’s not his fault the Browns gave that stupid contract

Lamar is in dreamland asking for a fully guaranteed deal. Ain't nobody giving an average passer that runs as much as he does full G's.

Yeah a lot of average guys have MVP trophies

The team likes Lamar, but they don't want to join Cleveland in giving out a fully guaranteed contract. Even for different reasons.

There could be a compromise.

5 yrs/$210mil

Gets Lamar guaranteed money and the Ravens get a budget QB at $42mil a year.

Tough to fire Mom.

Lamar playing this year with no future guarantees and likely playing next year for $45m on the tag is possibly one of the dumbest contract decisions by a QB ever.

He ain't getting a full guaranteed deal. From anyone.

Worked out pretty well for Dak, and he even got injured.

Worked out pretty well for Kirk Cousins, and he's a league-average quarterback with no MVP pedigree.

I would not have the confidence to bet on myself the way that Lamar is, but good luck to him.

None of those guys run 10x a game into traffic like Lamar does.

I do agree with you that none of those guys are in the exact same situation that Lamar Jackson is.

Quality insight.
