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 making a big mistake not taking it; he isn't Mahomes, Herbert, or Allen. That is big money.
