Welp looks like the owners have come together. Nobody is even going to offer him a contract.lol Browns are stuck with that Watson contract. The rest of the owners aren't having it.

 

 

Well, the NFLPA has filed a grievance over owner collusion to stop guaranteed contracts.

Theres plenty of options left even cheap ones-

Draft, trade, sign or develop.

Trade market has= Love, Zack Wilson, Trey lance, etc.

Sign= minshew, white, Brissett

Draft= ar, levis, stroud

develop= eason, carrol

 

All those options should come "cheap" in NFL terms. So even against the cap wall, panthers have plenty of options. Everyone there also has plenty of talent and other teams invested lots in them(minus corral who the panthers traded a future 3rd along with drafting him in the 3rd). 

I mean frank and his marry men were mainly bought here to solve the since 2018 QB problem, theres valuable inexpensive option.

If the Falcons are interested, we should at least call his agent and let him know we determine his value to be 100M per year

So far nobody.

Peter King said he doesn't know of any team that has plans to go after Jackson.

His contract demands might be putting teams off.

100%, nobody wants to give out guaranteed contracts to begin with, let alone for a player who hasn't finished the last 2 seasons due to injury, particularly when that player's best skill is what keeps getting him injured.

This is going to be a fascinating case study in the end, as it's clear the Ravens don't even trust him enough to give him that guaranteed contract.  If they won't do it, I can't see any other team willing to do it, as it's just a bad sign when his own team that has stated it badly wants to keep him and won't do it.

It's going to be very interesting to see who blinks first, Lamar knows the Ravens don't want to let him go for free but the Ravens also know that nobody else is going to give him that fully guaranteed contract.  This is where him not having an agent is a really bad idea, as a real agent likely would have been able to get a deal done with the Ravens by now, one that while maybe not exactly a fully guaranteed contract, it would have been structured in a way that makes it essentially fully guaranteed.

There are more QB's worth drafting than just 'the four'...

Hell, Hooker is probably better than at least two of them.

Starting to feel like the owners are talking behind the scenes, not wanting to set another precedent like Watson's contract. It's odd that no one has reportedly even expressed interest in making some type of offer.
