Collusion...

Turn on your tv it's the main discussion. All I see is sports analysts asking why are teams not offering him a contract.

Sorry if you don't get it.

Actually it's being debunked...

The Ravens basically said "if you really think this is what you're worth, see if you can find somebody who'll pay it".

So far, that's not going so well for him.

Schefter is right. It's a brilliant move on their part.

These people do multi million dollar deals for breakfast. Lamar and his mom are so far out of their league it's embarrassing at this point.

Yep.

He's only hurting himself by not having an agent.

This is how good companies do business and the NFL is a business. 

I expect at some point he'll come back to the Ravens and end up signing a deal for less than what was originally offered.

I wonder if the reason that us, in particular, have not been interested in Lamar is because we already have a deal in place to move up to the top of the draft?  Perhaps all the way to 1?  Im thinking maybe they have already agreed to a deal and it will be announced around the 15th of this month when the new league year starts?

Check the timeline...

Her original tweet came out before the news that we weren't interested. She's since updated.

These "insiders" are just fuging stupid and trying to manufacture something.  Of fuging course they talked about Lamar why the fug wouldnt they?  But to put it in a tweet to pretend its some inside knowledge is just screaming attention whore for all of them

[LinvilleGorge]

We'd be crazy not to at least talk about it. Do I think we'll actually do it? No.

Idk it would be entertaining to see the reactions here if we actually engaged in talks with the Ravens.

No team is even offering him a contract as of yet.

 

Somebody said he can't even talk to teams until a week from now.

 

A lot of conflicting reports so far.

 

I ask you this how is a QB with a MVP on his resume and a QB who wins 75% of his games not even get a team to offer him a contract?

 

Deshaun Watson had the entire league after him with his off field issues.

 

If you think those situations have nothing to do with each other so be it.

 

Im like the players on this one "how is this guy not even getting a offer".

I would imagine the conversation going like this.

Fitterer; Anyone in favor of giving Lamar a fully guaranteed contract?

Everyone in the room; silence 

Fitterer; OK then, let's move on to the draft class.
