 Clean and my wife she she messed around and called me a freelancer the other day. I said, okay, you got jokes, huh? But anyway, thank you clean. I really appreciate y'all. I thank you all like seriously I do man because so many y'all reached out and showed a lot of support So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for everything that y'all have done and are doing And just showing a lot of love and support man. So I appreciate y'all now Jeremy Fowler Jeremy Fowler who has been doing a lot of cover in this whole Lamar Jackson thing From beginning to I can't even call it the end because we we get ready to get to the next step in a couple days But anyway, I'm Jeremy Fowler. He reported that the Ravens have strongly considered using the non-exclusive franchise tag Now before we get into this video before we get into this topic Again, like I said We don't know We don't know anything that's going on I know Jocina Anderson a couple days ago. She and she's been she's been on point But she reported that the Ravens they put their strongest off on the table for Lamar Jackson. All right, boom there we go and Then she also broke down how while Lamar's Camp know they they're not necessarily asking for a fully guaranteed deal But he wants more guarantees than the Sean Watson. So that would be anything over 230 mil Guaranteed because you could do a you could do a 300 million dollar contract 230 mil guaranteed you You could do a 232 million dollar contract with 230 guaranteed I mean 231 guaranteed to just be one meal that would be given but anyway, she broke that down So shout out to Jocina Anderson but back to Jeremy Fowler and really just everything like I like I said before We don't know we won't know till we know that's why any report that we see we're tripping about it We ain't chipping over that for what for what we ain't tripping over that at all So let's let's just read this one from Jeremy Fowler that was on ESPN plus He said non-exclusive tag for Lamar Jackson Several people around the league believed the Baltimore Ravens have strongly considered using the non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson Which would deepen the intrigue on his future in a major way While the Ravens haven't officially made his decision leading up to the deadline several league executives now believe the non-exclusive tag Which allows a team to offer Jackson a contract that Baltimore can either match or decline in exchange for two first-round picks makes the most sense for Baltimore now If you use the non-exclusive tag on Lamar Jackson I think you I mean That's just you Officially sending him on his way in my opinion now I know that if they did use a non-exclusive tag the Ravens would have the opportunity to match They can match whatever deal and let's talk about how this could Benefit both sides for the Raven side for example, if somebody signs him to an office sheet Then the Ravens have some options They can decline to match whatever the offer is and they could be like all right Lamar. Thanks, but no, thanks We'll take the two first-round picks appreciate it and He would go to whatever team that is This could also Potentially help the Ravens and they could be like look see this is what the market is saying That you're worth. Look at our offer. Look at that and boom there you go And then they will it would depend on how their offer matched up with the offer that he got from the other team But again that that would sort of show the market for his services now You give up two first-round picks for Lamar Jackson Quarterback needy team. Yeah, they would even some teams that got a quarterback depending on which team it is But I know they won't but anyway That's not a bad deal Obviously you will need to sign him to a long-term extension as well, but it's really not a bad deal So this would allow Lamar to go to a team that would pay him And if he agreed to whatever terms that they came up with and the Ravens didn't match it and he would go there He would go there. Now, of course in order to go there. He would have to sign the tag But this would allow him to be like the end of our videos and be out So it's it's benefits to both sides for it now at the same time if you're the Ravens if you're Eric D'Costa and Say for instance that they want to trade him and I mean this article like saying the Ravens strongly considered using what they strongly are considering using the non-exclusive tag Well, of course, they got to strongly consider all the options So that's a no-brainer right there, but if if you're Eric D'Costa and you are really one of you you want to trade Lamar Jackson I don't think the non-exclusive tag will be the wisest move because you only give two first-round picks and that's it No more no less. That's it. You can't they can't throw some extra bonus picks in there What no it's two first-round picks. That's it If you're Eric D'Costa and you want to trade you intend on trading Lamar Jackson I don't think it will be small, but if you intend on trading Lamar Jackson Then why would you just do it for two first-round picks? That would be insane That would almost be a fireball offense for just two first-round picks like that. That'd be crazy Because you know, you can if you could intend it on trading, you know, you can get so much more than that That to me that I think that'll be bad business. It'll be bad business if they did that but It got his pros and cons I guess like we went over but we'll see what happens. Let's continue reading the article. It says Oh, I lost it. Oh, there we go. It says Baltimore has had a challenging time negotiating with Jackson So this allows him to shop his own services and bring it off into the Ravens Taking out the guesswork in the haggling over guaranteed money The tag should also fall somewhere around the 32 million far less than the projected 45 million for the exclusive franchise tag and Transferring the work to Jackson and other teams helps Baltimore maintain neutrality in any potential breakup. Okay Well, I guess there goes another plus that we didn't even think about We did talk about how yeah, it would allow another team to do the work as far as a contract So that that would be a plus for the Ravens But that last part. Oh, and then it being about 32 mil verse 45 mil Yes, that's another plus but to me the negatives outweigh the positives in my opinion on this but that last part and Transferring the work to Lamar Jackson other teams helps Baltimore maintain neutrality in any potential breakup So it would be great PR For the Baltimore Ravens even though a lot of fans will see through it But it'd be great PR for them like hey look we signed up to the non-exclusive tag and hey We we couldn't match it or we didn't match it We tried but the other teams offer was just so much better for Lamar and he just wanted to They could be like it wasn't us and they could try to pull it all on him and put it all on the other team And be like we tried because they did try they apparently been offering them contracts and whatnot But yeah, that would make the breakup a little bit smoother Nationally, but for fans, especially Ravens fans No, it wouldn't it really wouldn't but anyway We gonna see and it also said the flip side is the lower tag could damage Goodwill with Jackson at a sensitive time and the Ravens can't control any potential trade for a bigger price than two first rounders Major decision looms for general manager Eric Dacosta. So yeah, that's what we went over as far as the them getting more than two first round picks They can't get that with the non-exclusive And yeah, it just damaging doing damage To their relationship um They could because it could be like man, that's like That's how you view me non-exclusive 32 minute like really okay okay And that could really entice him to to to want to be out In my opinion, you know, I don't know what's going on in Lamar's head. None of us do but Again, these are these are just thoughts man. Um, and we we will actually get answers This week to whatever the next step is when it comes to The Ravens and Lamar Jackson and what the next move is gonna be So all these reports that we done heard all these rumors that done surface all these stories that keep popping up We getting the truth in the next couple of days team. Keep it clean. I love y'all again. I appreciate y'all a lot and we out
