Let's see what you brought first question and just straight up straight forward He ain't even put nothing in the body of the email He put everything in the in the subject line when will Lamar Jackson get paid it came from my guy man You will so this is a great question Because this question it had been brought up so many times it has been brought up so many times But especially the way that this season went it made it even more tricky because First early in the season Lamar was doing his thing He was just sometimes it was ugly other times it wasn't the numbers weren't always pretty I mean minus that coach game but that coach game the numbers were like almost perfect But the numbers weren't always pretty but you could just see Lamar Jackson's value to this team Continue to increase and something that we've been saying since last year said that every season every game Everyday Lamar Jackson's value to the Ravens. It's gonna keep going up. His price tag is gonna keep going up And then this year we saw that because he just kept finding ways to win They just kept finding ways to win under Lamar Jackson. So then things changed Things changed because Lamar Jackson he got an injury that took him out for the remainder of the season and This like early on in the season his value kept going up But this injury is crazy because usually you were thinking injury will make somebody's value decrease Nope Not at all because this injury actually Increased Lamar Jackson's value to the Ravens more than ever More than ever the Ravens believe under Lamar Jackson this year in games decided by one score They were five and one with that one loss being to the Raiders He did get blown out by the by the Bengals And then a dolphins game that was more they lost that by more than one scored two But Lamar Jackson he he showed you like hey, you know who I am. You know what I'm worth You know what I do for your team. I mean, you know what I did for your coach back in 2018, but anyway Lamar Jackson's worth through the roof, but then when he went out Think that the whole thing flip-flop with games that were decided by one score They went like I think one in five something like that down. It was something like that. I forgot what it was but Bottom line is they just with Lamar Jackson they kept finding ways to win especially those close games but without Lamar Jackson they kept finding ways to lose especially those close games and With an injury with him being out his value went up Because Lamar Jackson showed these Ravens and the Ravens also show Lamar Jackson that they cannot do it without him They cannot get it done without him So many people have said it and it seems as if it is true because you look at the results Lamar Jackson covers up a lot of deficiencies for the Baltimore Ravens is Lamar Jackson the best quarterback in the league He's not What's he playing like the best quarterback in the league this year because we know it's all about what have you done for me lately? No, he wasn't But Lamar Jackson Despite having some things that he definitely needs to improve on yes We know he was holding on to that ball too long But then you also know a lot of these routes that were these these long slow Developing routes even though you got a bad offensive line the reason that the Ravens continued to call those with Lamar in the center. I don't know but The Lamar Jackson covers up so much for the Ravens and he Literally has been saving this team Ever since he stepped on to the field. He has been saving this team When your players are out and we know like it was a million players out this year a million So many players were out this season and we get that and I know some people will be like Look at the Titans the Titans lost more players than the Ravens did more players played in games for the Titans Then they played for the Ravens and that is true. The Titans did lose more players They lost Julio Jones who I mean we know his history especially with them hammies They lost AJ Brown for a little bit too, but the biggest guy that they lost was Derek Henry and He is their team But they still found a way to win even without Derek Henry and they even got it with all the guys that got hurt They even still got the number one They made it to get the number one seed not in their division not in the AFC South but in the AFC in the conference They got the number one seed and that's amazing shout out to the Titans But when people compare the Titans injuries and the Ravens injuries, I get it by number But not by value Not by value The Titans they again they suffer a lot of injuries and we know that and we respect that because they still did their thing But Ravens injuries that they suffered were more significant We don't have to go down the whole list y'all already know everybody who they lost and so much Significance that they lost starters at literally every single position on offense obviously the quarterback He lost all three of your running backs You lost the virus even in Rashad Bateman for a while you lost Sammy Watkins for a while now They both end up coming back, which was great, but you lost both of them for the long periods of time Tight end with Nick Boyle with him again. I think I said Ronnie Stanley already But if I didn't then let me mention Ronnie Stanley Pat McCurry Tyree Phillips been Cleveland. Yes, I don't even feel like Continuing because y'all know and then we only got started with some of the offensive players Y'all know the defense is a long list as well Marcus Peters Marlon Humphrey the Sean Elliott LJ for it Let's just stop right there So the Ravens injuries that they suffered were more significant Than the Titans and in my opinion Titans suffered more but Raven suffered worse But with these injuries The Ravens just when you have so many people that are hurt and when you are down This is when in my opinion coaching matters the most This is where it matters the most because it's easier to coach Season guys Veteran guys guys that been around the block a little bit in the NFL guys that done been there done It's easier when they're veterans But when they're young guys that lack experience This is when coaching matters the most because it's your responsibility as a coach to coach them up It's your responsibility even though these guys they lack experience They don't have the exposure that a lot of your previous guys had and and you weren't planning on them playing so that's understandable But at the same time you know the situation you have to adjust So it's important that you put those guys in the right situations and then in the best situations to succeed I Do not feel like the Ravens culture staff did that with a lot of their backups this year That was on offense that was on defense and that was just what a lot of them the decision-making as well So with that being said Lamar Jackson He covers up so much because of his ability He covers up so much Even from the coaching staff his value is crazy right now It's crazy right even though he was nursing this bone bruise His because you you never hear stuff like it is not supposed to work like this. It's not No player Star player regular player what no player's value is supposed to increase when they have an injury But Lamar Jackson certainly did It certainly did and there's no question about that at all none Like I said earlier where's his stats the prettiest? No, of course not. It's got through more interceptions In this season alone in less games than he did I think combined the past couple of seasons and It just it wasn't on pace to be this pretty This pretty Statistical season from Lamar Jackson. He was gonna throw for more yards than he's thrown for before and the entirety of his career I mean, and it has only really been two four years even though last year He missed the game and then the year before that he sat out like like 54th quarters a lot of third-quarters too But anyway Shout out to all them blowouts. Oh 2019 was just fun time anyway Let's get serious again. You never too serious, but with Lamar Jackson this year statistically It was not gonna be pretty it wasn't pretty but bottom line They were finding ways to win They were finding ways to win and with Lamar Jackson went out They couldn't find those anymore They couldn't So when the question again, when will Lamar Jackson get paid because again, it is a great question It is a just phenomenal question and there were a lot of people somebody in the comment section yesterday They were like, okay, so when are we getting that video on Lamar Jackson's contract? And I looked at that comment. I was like, what are you talking about? So then went to sleep woke up this morning and saw that somebody had um somebody had did one of them little trolls where they They they tweet oh congrats to Lamar Jackson They tweeted as if they were the Baltimore Ravens change their avatar to being the Ravens and they tweeted as if they were the Ravens They'll congrats to Lamar Jackson for two hundred sixty seven dollar million dollar. I mean two hundred sixty seven million dollar contract Da da da da congrats LJ air eight da da da and I see I saw a lot of people they they took debate And I then I was like, oh, that's what the person in the comment section was probably talking about They probably saw that on Twitter and they got okie-dokie and they fell for it And it can be easy because you see a bunch of people liking it It comes up in your feed and it's like whoa Lamar got paid But you got a you got to really look you got to really pay attention So no he did not get paid yet. He Is on the contract for next year. He has the fifth year option and that I Believe it's about 23 mil fully guaranteed So he's on the contract, but I think now with this injury it did certainly increase his value but I think that the two sides I think they're gonna put stuff off for a little bit and What I believe happens Oh, it's very tricky. It's very very tricky, but I think that with the Ravens They know like yeah, we need we need him now I have seen one thing that I have seen a lot of people say and I've said it myself too, but got to realize like Lamar Jackson He's Lamar Jackson and he's a professional a professional is in their profession Because they like it because they love it because they enjoy it But they're also in their profession to make money Now I have said myself that I obviously want Lamar Jackson to get paid We'll love for him to get paid. We'll love for him to get his bread. We'll love for him to get his contract But I do not want to see Lamar Jackson sort of stuck in a situation I would love to see Lamar Jackson in the best situation. That's best for him best for his career best for his future But and it apparently cuz Sarah Sarah Allison shout out Sarah Allison She said that Quadru Ishmael said that Lamar Jackson turned down a couple of offers from the Ravens already That's that's what she said. He said so I don't know. I didn't see anything But I would believe her because she she don't just be saying stuff just to say it So she said that Lamar Jackson doesn't turn down money from the Ravens already but um and and and big money too but With Lamar Jackson I as a as a fan You want him to be in the best situation possible So I know a lot of people include myself like if Greg Roman is an offensive coordinator And not even just Greg Roman being offensive coordinator if Ravens still have this same philosophy Where they don't value the offense like they should where they don't put in the work for the offense like they should and It just then I would not want him to Resign and be stuck with the same old same old stuff from the Ravens now I'm not saying I want him to leave the Ravens. I would say I want the Ravens to really change their philosophy Especially when it comes to offense Especially when it comes to offense because if it's gonna be the same old stuff and it's like oh boy, but With Lamar Jackson if Ravens offer him a deal that's good for him Whether Greg Romans here not whether Harbaugh's here not whether whoever's here not whether they still got the same old philosophy or not If the Ravens offer him a deal that's good for him. I Can't be mad if he takes it Ain't gonna be bad if he takes it Like he trying to get paid and we know the boy Jackson's all nice Lamar Jackson's all humble and that's great But Lamar Jackson is also a professional So professionals they ain't doing work for free The they trying to get money. They trying to get paid. They trying to get their bread So the Ravens come up with a deal. That's good for him by all means do your thing my friend Um and I would think that once he's healthy like in the offseason I would think um the next time where it's the highest chance of it of a deal with Lamar Jackson and Ravens happening I would say before the regular season starts next year So I could see it happening then because The price only gonna go up it's only gonna go up It ain't going down. Trust me Again, even with the injury is the price ain't going down. You're done Like the cheapest that you could have got Lamar for That's over. That's long gone price only going up Despite what the numbers were looking like Despite the bone bruise in his ankle Despite all of that Price is only going up So Ravens, they they better figure that thing out fast I mean technically they could take that time because you have him under contract next year Then the following year if it really came down to that I don't expect it to But if it really came down to that they don't have to sign him next year They could wait then they could franchise tag him then they could franchise tag him again Now that would cost a lot of money and they would all almost kind of be like doing a deal Because those franchise tags are the the average of the top five played Payers, I mean the top five paid players at that quarterback position Well at whatever position you franchise tag and obviously with Lamar Jackson being a quarterback Then he would get the average salary of whatever the top five people at quarterback make So he'll still be getting his bread, but it would only be for one year You know, that's why a lot of players hate the franchise tag because it's only for one year It's not a long-term commitment. It's not the team telling you hey, we love you. We value you. This is a long term No, this is a one-year deal one-year deal. That's it It's guaranteed great, but it's only for one year So we've seen with franchise tag it could get ugly But I I don't envision or anticipate it get into a franchise tag between the Ravens and Lamar Jackson because he knows They know We know How valuable he is to this team So whether Ravens do it ASAP or they take their time with it again the longer you take The higher price goes up So I'm sure they'll make a smart good wise decision But they they better make it Ravens
