We are hopeful that Lamar Jackson will fight. The negotiation table is where we are talking about the Baltimore Ravens. Next in line for a mega contract is the quarterback who won the Most Valuable Player award. It should be something to be proud of.
With his style of play, nobody gives more of his body to an organization. It should be a fully guaranteed contract that can be used for framing.
Yes, that is correct. Jackson should get as much money as he can get.
Jackson will make $23.016 million in the fifth year of his contract. He will fight for a guaranteed contract.
Jackson told the media that they have a discussion. I will keep that in-house.
The hope is that this deal will be completed before the start of the football season.
Jackson should not follow in the footsteps of the last two quarterbacks deals. Carr was given an extension in April. Kyler Murray was a star quarterback for the Arizona Cards.
There is only one issue with the $230.5 million deal, and that is that it is not guaranteed. There is only a small amount of the deal.
It's the same thing with Carr. His three-year, $121.5 million deal isn't all guarantees.
We thought the bar was set when Deshaun was traded to Cleveland.
Even though he didn't play a single down for the Houston Texans in 2021, he still commanded a guaranteed deal. His deal was thought to be the model for all quarterbacks and superstars.
The NBA and MLB have guaranteed deals, but the NFL has its own. The majority of players are cut before their deals are paid.
The numbers look big on the surface, but not always.
Patrick Mahomes is a quarterback for the Kansas CityChiefs. He signed a 12 year deal two years ago. There was a problem at the signing of the largest sports deal in American history.
After winning the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes gave up his entire free agency timetable to the Kansas City Chiefs. He had no escape clauses from the contract and the Chiefs had the option to cut him in the 20th century.
It was the worst football deal a player has ever signed.
An agent told The Athletic that he loved the total numbers. The structure is not something that I like. It will take the players with real leverage to change the dynamic of the NBA and MLB. Mahomes has more leverage than anyone else. The game could have been changed by his agents. It's a big missed opportunity.
The last two quarterback deals did not work out.
Jackson can't do this. He has a place in the game. He should set a good example. The other young stars in the league are hoping that he will reestablish the market. When it comes to cashing in on their golden arms, the Cincinnati and the San Diego players should look for similar deals.
It will be important when you realize that Jackson is not using an agent to negotiate the deal.
It's smart. All NFL deals are public. A rocket scientist can figure it out.
Jackson can force the Ravens to do what he wants.
The owners of the National Football League have avoided a bullet. They make the deal look like desperation by the Cleveland team. Jackson has the chance to be the leader and hopefully he won't botch it.
