NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Yeah or they could just sign D'Ernest. Not sure how much that would cost. That would mean Jerome Ford and D'Ernest are 1 and 2 and Ford is likely the starter. I don't think they trade him though...just scoping the market bc why not

Never say never but also cannot see us using a 2nd rounder (our first pick) on a RB.

No way I hang on to him if I'm Cincy either way

And I hear he's good friends with Joe Burrow so I think I'd let him go, too, just to be safe.

Ravens have less than 2 hours to tag Jackson

I can guarantee you Nick Wright isn’t well schooled on cap manipulation. He’s a dope.

Baltimore.....wow.

Ravens place non-exclusive franchise tag on QB Lamar Jackson

Rumor has it they were considering cutting him before this news.

Regardless of Mixon’s involvement, this type of headline could make Cincy’s decision an easy one.

If I’m Jackson, I don’t see the benefit of signing that. It’s not really free agency. Any team looking to out bid Baltimore will still temper their offer because they have to send two number 1 picks to the Ravens. If that price scares off teams he plays for one year at 32 million…about 60% of his real market value where he is in the same boat risking impactful injury that handcuffs his negotiation next year.

I don’t sign it and I hold out. I tell them trade me to someone who appreciates me and will give me my value or sign me long term based on where I am in the market (yes…if DeShawn Watson gets 100% guaranteed then Lamar should get at least 75-80% guaranteed). I tell them shit or get off the pot. If I’m the future, commit to me. If you hedge then let’s end the partnership. Why play for people who don’t believe in you?

My suggestion was based on the assumption that the Browns get a 2nd for Chubb...

This sounds eerily familiar....

Giants tag Barkley, sign Jones to 4yr/$160M contract.

It's his second one already this offseason.

Smoke...fire and all that

Daniel Jones got a 4 year deal worth 160 mill, more than Carr.

Giants, QB Daniel Jones agree to 4-year deal

Last season, Jones threw for 3,205 yards with 15 touchdown passes and five interceptions. He also rushed for 708 yards and seven TDs.

Yikes.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I told everybody that the Jones contract with start with a 4 when looking at the yearly average of the deal. This is the going rate for QBs

Lmao, yeah go ahead and hold out and try to make up that much money. I’m glad the Ravens aren’t caving. As far as being appreciated, remember this is a guy that most of the team thought could have played with them in the playoffs then he didn’t even travel with the team. Go ahead, hold out.

He is better than Jones and it is not close.....Carr too.

LOL.

LOL.

And I guarantee you he was offered a lot more money than they got. He wants it all guaranteed, not happening. And I would argue that he certainly can’t throw better than Jones, or Carr, or a lot of guys.
