Lamar Jackson Sweepstakes

[Colts1324]

Will teams be in the Lamar sweepstakes?

 

It’s very possible that he doesn’t sign a franchise tag & requests a trade. 
 

I could see a lot of teams trying to trade for him this year.
 

Raiders, Titans, Falcons, Dolphins, Jets, Giants, Commanders, Seahawks, Patriots, Panthers, Bucs, etc

He needs a great defense like that in playoffs, can't run all the time and win. I think he will do all he needs to do to get a better deal with Ravens. Ravens will sign him and play it out till the end. 

 

But, it'll be fun for sure if he gets out of Baltimore. 

 

More importantly, it will be fun for many years more if he improves his passing game and become much more difficult both ways for most of the defenses. He could limit the runs until it is needed in must - win games.

He isn't going anywhere, ravens wont allow him to go anywhere this coming year. Maybe next year but I doubt they are going to let him go.

He is going to have to earn it like Flacco, with a SB win. Just that there is no Ray Lewis swan song accompanied with it.

His body is starting to break down. He should of taken the money when it was there.

Time will tell - but - my personal opinion is that the Ravens get him locked up BEFORE the season ends and eliminate any off-season drama.

I agree. He does seem to be getting more banged up lately. 
 

But, if Murray got the extension he got, I can’t imagine that Lamar doesn’t get at least 2-3 million per season more.

 

The question is, who will give it to him. It’s hard to find a franchise QB in this league, but as of late, all of these contracts have proven questionable.

Just an opinion, but I think the Ravens organization is on the decline......and I wouldn't be surprised if Lamar & Ravens part ways. 

As far as Lamar's passing is concerned, I don't know if it will ever be the reason his team will win big playoff games??

But he's fun to watch.

[Fluke_33]

He is a  mvp qb in his prime.  He will be franchised.

There may be second guessing on huge contracts and trading draft picks after the Russell Wilson mistake?

The is a boatload of teams suffering from lack of QB talent. I can't see going after a vet with too much worn tread. If a team goes for a college kid they must have the staff to develop him (example; Jacksonville this year)

Just read where Hurts could miss multiple games.  The careers of these running quarterbacks are going to be too short for my liking.  I want the bigger drop back guys every time.

Hurts wouldn’t miss though I am pretty sure if they were fighting for a playoff spot. This is two years in a row Jackson has been unavailable for long stretches. 

[BlackTiger]

The Ravens would want too much in a trade and we would have to give him a big contract.  Im passing on that

 

Seems like he gets hurt and misses important games every year too.  

 

I would be fun to draft someone like him but the price is too high for LJ

While a running QB is fun to watch the risk is real for more injuries.  We learned that from watching Luck. 

Personally I think a traditional pocket QB is a safer player to have.  I'm not saying a statue but has the knowledge to use the pocket. Footwork is the key.

Not only the staff but very talented players around him. I think we have quite a few excellent players on our team regardless of what some think.

This. I think people often mistake “mobile” for duel-threat QB’s. You need a guy who can pick up a first down & roll out - they don’t have to be Michael Vick or Justin Fields

Ravens aren't dumb enough to let him go.
