ok, let's see here
so Kyler Murray gets $230,500,000 with $189,500,000 guaranteed after proving nothing & going 22-23-1 as a starter
and Aaron Rodgers gets $50,271,667 a year with $150M guaranteed at 38-years old
and DeShaun Watson gets $230,000,000 guaranteed after over 20 lawsuits were filed against him for sexual misconduct and he sat out a full season
and you're telling me there are half-a-dozen teamsโฆ
most of which have been TERRIBLE for years
posted TERRIBLE records last year
had to cycle through 2-3 quarterbacks because they HAVE NO ELITE OPTIONS and
HAVE NO FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK ON THE ROSTER
โฆcan decide in less than an hour that they don't want:
a 26-year old quarterback IN HIS PRIME
who won the MVP
whose team spent the #1 LEAST ON OFFENSE of any team in the NFL the last 4 years
whose team gave him the #2 CHEAPEST WR corps to work with
whose RB-rooms were decimated by injury two straight years
who had to do virtually EVERYTHING FOR HIS TEAM to will them to win
who is 46-19 as a starter
who STILL took his team, in the toughest conference in football, to:
#3 AFC seed in 2022 at 8-4 before injury
#3 AFC seed in 2021 at 8-3 before injury
#5 AFC seed in 2020 at 11-5
#1 AFC seed in 2019 at 14-2
But you have no interest in talking to him?
you have no interest in negotiating directly with him?
you have no interest in proposing a deal to see what happens?
and you decided all of that within 60 minutes of the Ravens giving him the non-exclusive franchise tag
because you have such a buttoned-up organization that is always forward thinking and ahead of the curve that you knew instantly that trying to sign Lamar Jackson wouldnโt possibly give you more future upside than the flawless course youโve plotted for your franchise?

smells like some bullshit to me
