    Rumor: Lamar Jackson linked to Titans, Vikes

    https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...card-for-execs


    As the Baltimore Ravens continue to wait for a resolution to Lamar Jackson's contract situation, there are potential options available to the former NFL MVP to sign an offer sheet.
    Appearing on SportsCenter, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted there hasn't been a "firm" offer sheet presented to Jackson at this point but the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings could emerge as suitors:



    "There's been no firm offer sheet for Lamar Jackson right now. He has not signed his franchise tag, so this all has to be hashed out and really the draft could be a good indicator for the league. Because if there's a team in the top 10 that can't get its passer, let's say they're going for Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud and can't get him. Maybe it's Indianapolis at No. 4 if they don't get their guy, they could pivot to Lamar Jackson and give up two first-round picks to acquire him. We just talked about the Jets. If for some reason the Aaron Rodgers trade would fall through--nobody expects that-- they could pivot to Jackson. And then when you talk about good fits, I asked some executives around the league what teams would make sense. They mention Tennessee, who just cleared some cap space. They have a new GM Ran Carthon, who's working on the roster. They could use a running quarterback; they have experience with that in the past. And even a wild card like Minnesota. Kirk Cousins has one year left on his contract if they want to reestablish their identity there."

    So "linked" is basically other executives gossiping about who they think should be interested in him.

    Colts haven't ruled out a run at Lamar Jackson - ProFootballTalk

    The team that secretly absconded from Baltimore nearly 39 years ago to the day could be, in theory, days a way from publicly trying to pilfer Baltimore’s current quarterback.
    Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports that the Colts haven’t ruled out a pursuit of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

    The term " Collusion " will surface for sure. Lots of media types yapping about what they know...but 31 other teams seem to already have their idea for QB that doesn't include Lamar Jackson. He's stuck with that offer and his only play at the poker table will be to sit out and wait.

    Thanks to " I wish we were Cleveland " owner Jimmy Haslam and that stupid contract he gave the rapist.

    Jimmy Haslam is a scumbag. Stole hundreds of millions from trucking companies and didn't have to pay most of it back because Pilot was "to big to fail". He can be stupid with stolen money. Doesn't make it collusion when 31 other owners see stupid and don't copy it.

    Re: Rumor: Lamar Jackson linked to Titans, Vikes

    Now Jackson has said he's requested a trade March 2nd. Isn't Baltimore basically offering him up to the entire league for 2 first round picks and getting no takers? He needs to get an agent.

    It's funny to see a bunch of these morons pushing Lamar to NE. The same morons who were on their knees sloshing Mack Jones balls less than a year ago. Tells you they knew they were full of **** when they were pimping Mac as the savior for NE.

    Re: Rumor: Lamar Jackson linked to Titans, Vikes

    The issue with Jackson will come down to one simple thing: he's asking for too much money. It's all boiled down to that here:

    Lamar Jackson pushes back on the narrative that he’s an injury risk

    It has been said, or rather asked, that "was the Deshaun Watson contract an outlier or the new norm for QB contracts?" IF Lamar Jackson gets what he is asking for, then the answer to that question is the latter. The NFL owners will each, individually fight against it. And as mentioned, Jackson will cry collusion, and then he'll be forced to go back to the Ravens for this year. What team in their right mind will pay one player that percentage of their entire roster? It doesn't make sense for team success.

    Besides Jackson's style of play and injuries...still can't see why teams would want to do Baltimore's work for them then come out looking stupid if the Ravens match contract offer.
