ORIGINAL: ronhextall One talking head speculated could match any offer and then ask for even more in a following trade. Lamar is swimming in deep water with some serious sharks, he is in way over his head. If he had an agent he would have signed an extension a couple years ago like Josh Allen got in Buffalo and banked millions and millions. If he wants to sit out next season and be a martyr that's his choice but "martyr" don't spend too well for the 70+ years he has to live going forward. Lamar is the wrong guy. Mahomes gets a fully guaranteed deal IMO. Lamar isn't in my top 5 QBs that I would want. Frankly after Mahomes I don't get a boner for anybody else. If Lamar sits, he isn't doing himself anything good towards being a true Free Agent correct? Basically everything is put on Pause and the only think going on is Lamar getting older. I think he wanted to be a Curt Flood type person(a pioneer). Leading the way to everyone not hiring agents. I think he will eventually find out that the Agents earn their 3-5%. On NFL radio they mentioned two deals that Lamar has already turned down from Baltimore. 3 years 133 million fully guaranteed and 6 years 250 million with (I think?) 150 million guaranteed. They said he's in position now to lose out on more money than Leveon Bell ever missed out on. Also, sidenote - 3% is the most an agent can charge so he really isn't "saving" much at all even if he negotiated a great deal for himself. He is insane if he turned down those deals. Some media like to point at Cousins initial Vikings deal and claim 'racism' because Gauranteed is all Lamar wants, like Cousins got. Lamar didn't play through two tags and Lamar evidently was offered a 'Cousins' deal in 3 years fully guarnanteed. I see nobody is taking that report as fact (oh wait... there is the obligatory poster buying it), but that's how rumors become fact. Over on Baltimore Beatdown (like our Daily Norseman), someone mentioned it but others are not buying it w/o evidence. How do you know Lamar only wants a fully-guaranteed contract?
