No, Lamar Jackson is not being “greedy.” He is not injury-prone. He’s not a running back. He’s a unanimous MVP QB, who led the NFL in touchdown passes despite lesser WR talent and an OC that didn’t develop a passing attack. He has a 45-16 record as a starter and scares opposing defenses. He has every right to seek the value he feels he deserves.
No, the Ravens aren’t “insulting” or “disrespecting” Lamar with their offers. They aren’t “sabotaging” him with a franchise tag. We all knew the tag was coming if no deal was struck. If losing organizations don’t even reach out to attempt to sign a winning QB next week (I still have my doubts), then we know why they’re losing organizations. Ravens don’t control that. They have every right to offer what they feel his value is to the team.
Both Lamar and Baltimore have been independently successful in football before they came together, and no doubt, they would both eventually be successful independently again if they don’t strike a deal. But I’m rooting that they do, because I think great things could happen. I’ll just have to wait and see.
In the meantime, both Lamar and the Ravens are aptly playing the role of shrewd negotiators. As they should. There’s really no need to demonize either side.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts turned heads by building an all-female management team.
Hurts told @SInow that people had doubts — but he knew he was surrounding himself with the best of the best.
“I have a team of straight hustlers. And that’s how I am on the field and off the field.”
ACC is on the verge of breaking apart. It’s crazy that tv companies have so much control of these conference shifts. The decision to move the terps to the Big Ten a few years ago was a smart one.
The @PremierLacrosse was honored to recognize the 1st HBCU to play @NCAALAX back in Baltimore at Homewood. The @morganstatelax team was formed in 1970, quickly beating the #1 ranked team in the country in 1975. Here are members of the Ten Bears alongside current players today.
