 We all know it's just a matter of time before Lamar Jackson gets his bread. It's never been a question of if he'll get paid, but it's always been a win and how much and ever since Lamar Jackson has been eligible for a contract extension, we've seen other quarterbacks get theirs like a Josh Allen, like a Derek Carr. We saw Aaron Rodgers get one and then more recently because with quarterback contracts is all about what has been done lately. And more recently, the one that completely just changed the game was the Sean Watson. And then the Cardinals were like, hold up, the Sean Watson. You may have changed the game, but you know what, we're going to change it too. But just not the way that you did it because we know the Sean Watson. He got his 230 mil fully guaranteed deal for five years. But Kyla Murray, he did sign a five year contract extension with the Cardinals, but only 160 mil of it was guaranteed. So about 70 mil less. But apparently, apparently the Ravens offered Lamar Jackson more money than Kyla Murray. Let's talk about it. Now that football season is here, stuff is crazier than ever. I am more busy and bombarded with stuff than I've ever been before. Now, while I'm definitely not complaining, that does make it harder for me to hit some of my personal goals. And like I've told a lot of y'all, I got a one pack right now that I'm trying to slowly transform into a two than a four pack, but in order to do that, I got to eat right. So I teamed up with Factor so they could help me out. But what is factor factor helps make meeting your nutrition goals easier than everybody delivering fresh, never frozen, dietitian approved meals right to your doorstep. They have a team of gourmet chefs that create each and every meal, only using ingredients that have integrity to help you feel your best all day long. Because when it comes to fitness, you can work out all you want to, but it really starts with food. In fact, that actually makes it possible for you to achieve your daily goals through nutritious purposeful eating. They offer keto meals, calorie smart meals, chef's choice and vegan and veggie options that includes seafood, meat and plant based meals. So it's something for everybody. And with factor, there's no preparation and no mess. They cut out the whole part when it comes to stressful meal planning and extensive prepping. So meals literally come together in minutes. And that takes all the guesswork out of what to make for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They make it so easy for you. Their meals arrive pre-prepared and ready to eat in two minutes. So let's see how it works. One of the first things I noticed and appreciated when I got my factor box was the fact that they have an ice pack sitting on top and in the middle of your food. Y'all know I'm in South Florida and it gets hot. So if this didn't have the ice packs, then this food would have cooked on its own inside the box. And we don't want that. Now I was a little bit indecisive over which package I wanted to get. So I just went with chef's choice. So I have a variety of everything. It came with six meals and a smoothie variety pack. The meals I received were a ranch baked pork chop, big deal chicken, honey butter diced chicken, fiery beef and black bean chili, ruchetta shrimp risotto and roasted garlic braised beef. And I figure you know what, I'm down here with all this heat. So let's try the fiery beef and black bean chili first. Like we said before, they take all the guesswork out of it for you because they have the instructions on the back of each meal. And if you're microwaving it literally every meal, you put it on high for two minutes. And if you want it a little bit hotter, you can just throw it in there for an additional 30 seconds. Ooh, with that cilantro, this meal ain't nothing but Miami. This is really good. It ended up being even better than I thought it would. Now, a two minute meal is nice, but what's even nicer and even more convenient is a smoothie. In fact, I sent out six smoothies, three tropical fruit ones and three strawberry bananas. But you know what, I'll try some of both. Oh yeah, that strawberry banana is hitting. Oh, but that tropical fruit, oh, that's just as good. I think I might have to tell my wife, hey babe, you can take a little break from cooking because Factor might be my new go-to for lunch and dinner for a little while, since we always on the go.

But if you don't want to, trust me, it is A-OK. Don't worry about it. And Lamar Jackson may have told the Ravens that same exact phrase during contract negotiations. Hey, it's okay. Don't worry about it. If they did come to him with a deal that just wasn't sitting right. But you know what? Let's hear exactly what this article had to say. And it was from Mike Florio on pro football talk. He said, the 2019 MVP could, if he wants, make more money than the number one overall pick in the 2019 draft. Oh, I like the little word play right there. I wonder if Mike Florio used to do battle rap. Anyway, it says Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported during Sunday night's Ravens Cardinals pre-game show that Baltimore has offered quarterback Lamar Jackson more money than the Cardinals have agreed to pay quarterback Kyla Murray. Now, if that is the case, I mean, it should be the case. It certainly should be the case based off her accomplishments alone. It should definitely, because Kyla Murray's deal should be the floor, the absolute floor. It may even be the basement. So the fact that they said that, that should be no surprise to anybody whatsoever. But let's continue. It says Jay Glazer adds that the five year fully guaranteed contract given by the Browns to the Sean Watson complicates matters. Oh, you think so, huh? Of course. Why wouldn't it? If you see a quarterback who hasn't played in the longest, a quarterback who got a lot of outside stuff for football that was going on, they get paid a five year, $230 million, all fully guaranteed. You gotta be looking at that like, oh, hold up. I've been playing. I ain't got no outside stuff going on. And I know what the Sean Watson when he did play, hey, he was a good quarterback. He did his thing. I mean, with the Texans, it didn't really result in winning, but hey, unless he was still doing this thing over there and the Texans, they paid them. And then the whole, you know, the rest of the story. We don't need to get into it. But Lamar Jackson had to be looking at that like, ooh, 230 all guaranteed and he, oh yeah. We should start talking there. Well, let's continue with the article. It says Murray has a new money average on a five year extension of $46.1 million. So he's getting 46.1 million per year. But Murray is signed for seven years in all. So it was an extension, but they is seven years total because it's an extension. It wasn't a new contract. So they just extended his current contract. It says Watson's deal pays out 46 million per year over five years. So Watson's deal per year is less than Kyla Murray's per year. But all of it, which is fully guaranteed. So yeah, Kyla Murray got the highest average per year. Well, between him and Watson, but Kyla Murray got 160 million guaranteed. Watson got 230 million guaranteed. 70 more million dollars in guaranteed money. That is insane. But it says to get Jackson to 46.2 million per year on a five year new money deal, they need to sign him to a six year, $254 million contract. Since he's due to make 23.16 million this season. So yeah, on his fifth year option, Lamar Jackson making a little over 23 million. If he signed an extension, it would be just that an extension. So he will still be playing this year under the fifth year option, but then he would be extended beyond that. So whatever new years they would just be added to his current one year deal that he's on right now. It says Glaser also called it an uphill battle to get a deal done, given that Jackson represents himself. I mean, yeah, in negotiations. And I really don't think that was even really necessary to include an article because in contract negotiation in any type of negotiations, but if we're gonna speak specifically about contract negotiations, of course it's an uphill battle. That's whether somebody has an agent or not, because you're negotiating, you're going back and forth. You're offering, hey, this is what we wanna sign you to. And the person is looking like, hey, well, I'll take that, no, I don't want that, you need to do better. And they'll have counter offers and whatnot. It's a back and forth thing. So of course it's an uphill battle, but that ain't got nothing to do with whether there's an agent there or not. It's gonna be uphill battle either way. But anyway, continuing, he says the battle ensued. Jackson has said he wants a new deal before the regular season begins in two weeks. The Ravens will begin intensive preparations for their week one game against the Jets. So it's also been rumored that Lamar wants a fully guaranteed deal. And you know what? If that's the case, if that rumor is true, I wouldn't blame him at all. Why not? Why not? The NFL, you gotta try to get your money, get your bread. Because you never know what could happen and you wanna collect. Like these owners and stuff, oh, they make billions of dollars all for you. So you getting millions of dollars from them should be no issue. Should be no issue. Especially if you one of their main players in the game. With Lamar Jackson, yeah, that deadline is certainly coming up. It's coming up quick, fast and in a hurry. This off season has flown by. It has flown by like crazy. So what you think a little two, three weeks is till the regular season starts? Oh, that's nothing. That is nothing, my friend. The regular season is literally right around the corner. So for the Ravens and for Lamar Jackson, if they can get this thing done before then, great, phenomenal. Because if Lamar, and Lamar has been a man of his word, throughout the entirety of his career. So I would expect him to stay true to that, like, hey, I wanna get it done by week one. And if it's not done by week one, then it'll be cut off. We ain't gonna talk no more. So if he says that, then it's time, like Ravens gotta, they gotta step it up. They really gotta step up their game. Because if it gets to week one and this thing is not done, all right, cool. But you really gotta hope that after the season, or whenever those contract talks resumed, you really gotta hope you get it done because with the franchise tag, you don't wanna do it, man. The franchise tag can make things very, very nasty. Very, very nasty. And you don't wanna go down that road with tagging them. And yeah, with the tag, oh, it's fully guaranteed, that's only fully guaranteed for one year. Yeah, it's a nice little quick lump sum, but it's only for one year. Players want contract extensions, they want those long-term contracts, not just the, oh, one year. Because that's essentially, even though the money is a lot different, but a franchise tag is essentially a high-priced, proven deal. What does Lamar Jackson need to prove to the Ravens? What does he need to show them? If you let it get to the franchise tag, that's showing that, hey, he ain't showing you enough. And you just, you couldn't come up with terms that show like, hey, this is our guy. This is our play. This is the one right here. And then even from Lamar Jackson's side, hey, don't settle. Don't settle. Know your worth. Know your worth. Know what this team does with you. Know everything you do for the team, but also know how they've done without you too. It's important to look at both sides of that when you're trying to really determine what your worth is. And again, it comes down to it. Now, last year, the numbers weren't pretty, even though he didn't even play the whole season. The numbers weren't, well, 16 touchdowns, 13 inceptions. That's an ugly ratio. It's a disgusting ratio. There was even one game where those, there was one game with four interceptions against the Browns. So that number definitely got boosted up. But hey, those were the numbers, and that's fine. But you look at last season and just really did out his entire career with the Ravens. Look at the wins with Lamar Jackson. Look at the losses with Lamar Jackson, but then look at the wins and losses without. It's not even comparable. It's not. It really isn't. And for everything that he's been asked to do, and he's still, he's still got some stuff that he definitely needs to work on for sure. So I'm not saying that Lamar Jackson is blameless or faultless and just anything that's transpired with the Ravens as far as on the field play. Because he got his stuff that he got to improve on too, for sure. But as far as his value to the Ravens, oof, it's through the roof. It's through the roof because he has brought value to the Ravens. He's made them a even more valuable franchise. So it's time that the Ravens show him exactly how much he's appreciated. And you gotta come right. You gotta come right. Because if you don't, no, I'm straight. Nope, no thanks. And one of the biggest reasons, and I know I've heard all the talk, I heard it, Mike Florio and Chris Sims, they mentioned it, Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless, they mentioned it too. They talked about how feelings can be involved with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens because he doesn't have an agent. Because with the Ravens, since he doesn't have an agent, they gotta speak directly to him. They gotta speak directly to his camp, directly to his people, since he doesn't have an agent. And they talked about how, hey, the Ravens could be like, hey, oh, you feel like you're worth this much? Well, we only feel like you're worth that much. And while, yeah, feelings could be involved in that, but at the same time, Lamar Jackson, he's not stupid. He knows it's a business. Ms. Felicia, she's not stupid. She knows it's a business. His whole camp, they are not stupid. They know it's a business. Then the Ravens, they are not stupid. They know it's a business. So yeah, feelings may be involved from both sides because Lamar has continuously expressed, hey, he loves the Ravens. Loves hardball, loved the team, loved the organization. But at the same time, you know that he is about his bread. And the Ravens on their side, they continue to express, hey, we love Lamar Jackson. Yeah, I would think they would. But they are also a business and they are about their bread too. So both sides, there's gonna be some tug and pull from both sides to get this thing done. But the clock is ticking, so it's time to make it happen. So if this is true that the Ravens offered more to Lamar Jackson than Kyla Murray got, okay, cool. But if that don't make them budge, the price is gonna keep going up. And this is something that we've been saying from jump. Every single game that he plays, every single week that passes, every single day that passes, his price continues to go up. Ravens, cause they can mess around and be like, all right, you know what? No, we done negotiating. We just gonna do the franchise tag thing. We gonna do the franchise tag. Then we negotiate a little bit, but if we can't come up to a deal, then we'll just put you on the franchise tag. And you'll play that on the franchise tag. But you do that, the price keeps going up. It would be very wise for the Ravens to nip this thing in the bud as soon as possible. And of course it takes two, cause Lamar would obviously have to agree to it. But it's important that they nip this thing in the bud now because again, hey, you haven't trouble negotiating now. That's when that price goes even higher. Now, with Lamar and with the Ravens, while his price will continue to go up, so will the salary cap. The cap is gonna continue to increase and cap ain't going down. It ain't going down again. No 2020 is suffered and whatnot and this has been a recovery process, but hey, it's back and it's bigger and better than ever. And it will continue to get bigger and better than ever. So yeah, a quarterback contract, very expensive, but you can manage it. You can do it. And just because you pay a quarterback, it does not mean, oh, hey, we can't do anything else. We can't make any more moves. That's false. That is false, but we'll see what happens. Time is ticking. Week one is literally right around the corner. So whether the Lamar gun budge or Ravens gun budge, somebody will if they really wanna make this thing happen. And when that budging happens, wow, that dude is going to have a lot. I mean, he already got, but he is going to have made a lot of money. Yeah, this feels like a dream. You two team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like got him made it, got him made it. Boy, that's my homie, ain't that right in Raven? Right in Raven. Shout out to Raven.
