No matter. I’m good with 5 or 6 and a Super Bowl or two. -
No, I think he has more value than that. The only reason they can't get three first rounders for him right now is because no team will trade that much for him unless he agrees to a long term extension, and NFL owners seem dead set against establishing fully guaranteed five year deals as a precedent. But if a team came knocking with a major offer, I think the Ravens would trade him. And I think the no agent thing is a valid consideration. NFL teams do new contracts with players every year, and they go back and forth with agents, discussing value and market positioning in very frank terms. Usually, the player doesn't have to sit in on those meetings and hear what management has to say. In Lamar's case -- same with any player representing himself -- he's negotiating directly with the team, and it could be that he's taking personally what the team views as standard business. There's no buffer between the player and the hard line negotiator in the front office, and it's easy for an ego to be bruised, resulting in a protracted standoff. I think having no agent probably cost Lamar in the draft, and with his second contract. The earnings gap between him and Josh Allen just so far is something like $50m already. That's way more than Lamar would have paid an agent. I get not having an agent for simple negotiations, but it's probably biting him in the butt at this point, and it's too late to make up for what he's already lost.

This is why I still believe that is why they won’t go after Lamar. Ballard would have to have instant success with him. With a rookie he will get a little time to build around that rookie.
