ā€œThereā€™s a chance Lamar Jackson is a New York Giant next season. ā€œ-
@TikiBarber on @TikiAndTierney

I didnā€™t hear the audio, and Iā€™d say the chances are slim; however, itā€™s not impossible. We heard reports that Schoen called on Russell Wilson and the Giants will have the cap room to make a strong offer.

And before everyone goes, ā€œbut the playoffs!ā€ Wouldnā€™t it be nice to make the playoffs consistently? Lamar Jackson is such a unique talent.

Nope, not Russell Wilson.

Aaron Rodgers might be available, Nope.

Jimmy G, nope.

Nope, Not L Jackson.

MVP, Superbowl MVPs, Super bowl appearances and Championships, pro bowl MVP, many All Pro years.

Let's stick with Daniel Jones...

they have the 2 tag years that are undermarket.

if they need to pay him the biggest QB contract ever they can do it in 2 years - after getting him undermarket for 2 years. It may be fractionally higher but since Murray and Watson and Mahomes and Josh Allen are all already extended, probably not. The comps are pretty set.

it's a starring match. he's going to be paid and it's going to be a lot it just comes down to when the ravens feel compelled to do it. and with the amount of hits he takes i'd probably feel compelled to wait as long as necessary before guaranteeing more than a quarter of a billion dollars.


I think you are right. The Ravens are going to be very measured. And I would not be surprised if they decide the cost isn't worth the benefit, and they look for a new solution in this draft or the next.

They apparently really like Huntley's skills, too, and think they are sitting on another potentially good QB1.
huntley is going to get his next contract before lamar Ā 
Eric on Li : 9/19/2022 6:04 pm : link
so i doubt he factors in unless lamar gets hurt and he gets on the field wally pips him.

with the way things go for the ravens they will probably tender him at a 1st or 2nd round level and someone will roll the dice on a medium contract and they will get a premium pick for him before turning into a pumpkin elsewhere.
News like this might not have the desired effect Tiki Ā

He is and they are going to tag him. And then if they don't have a deal in place by March 2024 they will do so again.

If Baltimore doesnā€™t keep him, I think he ends up in Philly.

He the most unusual talent Iā€™ve ever seen play QB Ā 
BillT : 9/19/2022 6:35 pm : link
Not really a fan of his or running QBs in general. But heā€™s something different and could break the mold. There no chance heā€™s coming here but if they could get him theyā€™d have to make a play for him.
I was listening Ā

He said the giants should be in. It was more speculation than the thread title of "Giants could be in the mix".

He can be franchised twice. And to that Tiki said I understand. Pure speculation and sportstalk radio.

agreed but, that means unless exclusive he can be had. I think the Ravens pretty much prefer it that another team sets the $$$ amount then they match.
If you think he can stay healthy Ā 
mfjmfj : 9/19/2022 6:39 pm : link
and you don't have to give up picks, it is a no brainer to pay him a top tier QB contract. Even if you think DJ is an NFL starter (and I do), he is at best 15 to 20. Lamar at best is top 5. Much better passer than Cam ever thought of being and different (and safer?) running style.

Cap space is a non issue. We have paid the piper this year. Cut Galladay next year and we have $60MM next year and $200M in 2024. Obviously, a lot of people to pay (SB?, Mckinney,dexter, draft picks, bottom of the roster) but fitting a max QB contract in will be very possible. Maybe not smart but if you think a max QB K is ever smart, I think this guy is it. I just doubt you can get him without giving up picks, since I expect Baltimore to franchise him. I wouldn't pay him and give up picks. If you are going to pay the QB you need the picks to fill out the roster cheaply.

I don't see Baltimore letting him leave.
So the Ravens tag him with Non-exclusive franchise tag Ā 
larryflower37 : 9/19/2022 6:44 pm : link
He can negotiate with other teams and the Ravens can match any deal or receive 2 first round picks.this is what most teams use
The exclusive tag they can not negotiate which has only been used 4 times.
It is conceivable for the Giants to give him the contract he wants and the Ravens get 2 first.
I am a fan of Jackson but that would be an earth shattering move by any team.

a five-year extension offer worth over $250 million with $133 million guaranteed at signing because he wants a fully guaranteed contract. I can't imagine a scenario that has him coming here.



I'm not sure he wants a fully guaranteed contract. I think he wants the most guaranteed money. He won't get Watson money, because that was such a market outlier, but he will get more than Rodgers, Murray, Allen, etc.

The guy sitting on a historic gold mine right now is Justin Herbert. He is the last great QB in the queue, and he's going to kill it with contract #2...


He was already being offered more guaranteed money than those guys. ESPN reported he wanted it all guaranteed and the union told him that he was right to ask for it. The Watson deal fucked everyone forever. Maybe he wont get it. Maybe he will. I canā€™t believe it would be from Schoen.

Jackson's running ability is so unique and he continues to get better as a passer. A healthy Barkley alongside him and an improving OL with atleast 1 and maybe 2 future cornerstone tackles is pretty much as good of a fit for Lamar as it gets....

Agree this and rest of post, Osi, but man, this roster needs WRs: to me it's the weakest position on the team along side ILBs (not getting into the QB muck and mire)
If he actually hit the market Ā

Jay on the Island : 9/19/2022 6:55 pm : link
unless by some reason the Ravens decide to let him walk via free agency which they won't. As Eric said he will be tagged if they don't work out a long term deal.

Our next QB will come in the draft.

Jones will be the QB next year unless HE decides to be a free agent. The 1st round draft pick wonā€™t be high enough to draft another ā€œfranchiseā€ QB.


Jones can be tagged. Its not in his control
If Jackson Ā

This isn't Wilson, who is 33.

If they tag him, the Giants just need to write an outrageous poison pill deal and be willing to give up 2 first and he is ours.
That would be the ultimate big balls move.

The guy had 500 total yards in a playoff game. Going into last season his cold weather stats were as follows

Quote:
Jackson has the highest passer rating (109.3) in cold-climate games among all quarterbacks.
Jackson and Aaron Rodgers are the top-performing quarterbacks in cold-climate games for average passing touchdowns per game (2.4 touchdowns)


Lamar needs to play better in the postseason, but we donā€™t have to make stuff about him throwing in the cold.

If I was a star nfl QB my team would love me. We start getting into the territory of money I couldnā€™t spend in a life time and I would settle. The one thing I would want if I took, say, 150 mil guaranteed, and the market for my position was 300 mil, I would want say at the least, in the positions we used to fill with that cash.

If we ended up winning multiple Super Bowls and my public stock rose I would be killing it in endorsements and not worry too much about game day checks. I would do something like Marshawn Lynch and just bank my game checks and Live off endorsements money. I wouldnā€™t give two shits about being the highest paid.

And if you donā€™t believe me just talk to my team at work. Whenever I get my ICP I give a decent piece of it to the non associates because without them believing in my plans, those plans wouldnā€™t work. And we are the top performing division so the money has been coming more frequently then if I just took the ICP and had high turnover in my office.

Thatā€™s my point. If he uses some of those funds to help the team around him and they win multiple bowls heā€™s gonna be pulling in money from other sources in much greater sums
Why would the Ravens let him walk? Ā 
Tom in NY : 9/19/2022 8:35 pm : link
They drafted him. Built their entire franchise around him...most specifically their offensive system, and have no long term answer on the roster to replace him.

Yeah, he wants a lot of money, but if the team that built themselves around him AND are considered one of the best talent evaluation front offices in the league won't give him the $$, why should the Giants?
Seems like you can't believe Baltimore is a model franchise, but then agree to take on a contract they won't do.

I would be very cautious about this move.

He seems to be saying if Jackson is not with the Ravens next year, he might be with the Giants.

And really, if JS and BD decide that they want Jackson as their QB. There really is nothing preventing them from getting him if the Ravens are willing to let him go.

Whether or not we agree with the move or not, the Giants can acquire him if he's available.

I wouldn't put it past him to threaten not to sign it and just sit the year. He has some power in this regard to force a trade. Only the truly elite players can get away with something like this as it would effectively screw their 2023 season. Jackson is getting paid whether he sits out a year or not.
