Re: Will Lamar show up to OTA’s this week?
IMO there will be a block buster deal before the season or Jackson will be out of Baltimore by this time next year. There is absolutely no sane reason to not sign a deal. I will take the word of the Ravens when they say that they want to make a deal.....I absolutely believe that the ball is in Lamar's hands. It's his choice. There is a reason why he hasn't signed......to get a better deal? Not buying it.....there will ALWAYS be the "next deal". There will always be someone to come along and top your deal. The Ravens are prepared to pay Jackson.
SO why hasn't Lamar signed? I think he wants out of Baltimore. In my not so humble opinion I think that in the last two years Hollywood Brown has been barking in Lamar's ear and it has had an influence on how Lamar views the Ravens. Not saying it has brain washed him but I think Jackson's BFF had some influence. Maybe Lamar influenced Brown.......ever think of that?
No, there is more to this then any of us know. There has to be a major reason why Jackson is willing to gamble a quarter of a BILLION dollars........That's the starting point, right? $250 mil? He is going to gamble $250 mil? for what reason? His convictions must be pretty strong. I give him credit for being intelligent.....but gamble on $250 mil? It just doesn't pass the smell test.

Re: Will Lamar show up to OTA’s this week?
To me LJ seems like the type of guy who has "something to prove." Any speculation that he's unhappy is purely in the mind of the person who said or wrote it. He wants to win the BIG ONE, and is motivated to do so. I'd be much more than surprised if he didn't show up to OTAs. He's only 25 and knows a mega-payday is in his future. Luckily for us Ravens fans, he's pretty mature and level-headed... Bc

There really is a whole thread of people going back and forth on a fantasy someone just made up In their head about “What if”. Slow off-season..

Will Lamar show up to OTA’s this week?
It would be complete franchise malpractice not to. What fantasy-land do you live in?
If they tagged him, he demanded a trade and they didn’t like their offers, elected not to trade him and he sat out a year I would fully expect them to tag him once again and play whole scenario out once again.
That said, he’s a young, exciting ex-MVP. Unless he continues to decline, he would be with 5 firsts or similar in a trade next offseason, and I’d imagine that would be a deal worth accepting. The deal that probably still makes the most sense is Tua, Miami’s 2 2023 firsts, their 2024 and 2025 firsts as well. Maybe a couple of seconds instead of either the 24 or 25 first(or Tua).

Re: Will Lamar show up to OTA’s this week?
Speculation about lowballing is silly. The Ravens have always paid top talent what it's worth and have made several players the highest paid at their position. However, the bar is constantly rising -- a reasonable offer to a QB last year would probably be deemed a lowball offer it were made today.
