What a missed opportunity, should have timed this on Easter and broadcast live on ESPN like LeBron's Decision. Or maybe Groundhog Day.

He's 39 and coming off of a crummy season. God I hope he goes to the Jets.

Maybe this should be in the comedy thread? Eric Bieniemy (intentionally?) recreates Key & Peele scene.

Bienemy made his first move...

Hilarious. Of course I live in Niner country, so I forwarded that tweet to several people.

West coast problem. The tweet got deleted before I got out of bed.

About Carr going to NO. And the story seems legit, so I think the above post is just a victim of Twitter's latest batch of fuck ups.

4 years $150 million...with 100 million guaranteed.

But why?

David Carr is looking very much younger than I remember...

Guaranteed nine figures means no more emo look.

Not me, I totally missed it.

So Baltimore tagged Lamar Jackson with the non-exclusive tag.

JFC this is tiring to follow (and I'm not even a Ravens' fan).

NFL going COLLUSION without hiding it apparently

Once the NFLPA began circling agent-less Lamar you knew this was going to be their tack.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Tue Mar 07, 2023 8:44 pm

Indeed. Although I didn't expect it to be so blatant...

This is probably only half a joke...

I'm not understanding the collusion angle. How do those teams benefit from announcing that?

I suspect the NFL owners have been in contact re: agent-less Lamar Jackson and his guaranteed contract demands, particularly once it became known the NFLPA was buzzing in his ear.

Ask yourself what would collusion look like? A bunch of QB-needy teams announcing they're out of the running would do a lot to suppress his market.

Jerloma. I think Dsnny Heifetz is on point -

That all looks dead on accurate.

The one that gave the game away to me immediately was the falcons claiming they are out. They have tons of cap room and the FedEx owner’s kid coaching who lives to run and an offense with young receiving weapon in place at TE and WR1 and they are all “nah, we are set with Desmond Ridder so no interest in Lamar Jackson”… I mean. Come the fuck on.

And while we are here, Ruiz above is right. How were ravens comfortable in first place putting non- exclusive tag on him if they didn’t already know market would be inexplicably cool for the services of a former mvp who is just 26…

Pruitt IV · Post by **Pruitt IV** » Wed Mar 08, 2023 6:03 am

And with Derek Carr getting that kind of money, there really can be no doubt about this.

Question - does this scenario unfold if Lamar Jackson had a big name agent involved?

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Wed Mar 08, 2023 6:04 am

The cost to sign lamar away from the ravens beyond the contract is just two first round picks. Way below what his trade value should be…
