 Team keep it clean. Remember when I said that with this whole Lamar Jackson thing with the rumors reports and stories and all that We usually get something like every single day at the most Then these reports and rumors and whatnot. They'll take a break on Saturdays and Sundays But Monday through Friday or we guaranteed to get something and today's Monday. So here we are Jeremy Fowler Who was on ESPN? He has some interesting things to say when it came to Lamar Jackson and these Baltimore Ravens and let's Hear what he had to say he said people I'm talking to believe or are getting the sense that Lamar Jackson is at least open to a change of scenery at this point from Baltimore Because he's been put in that position when the Ravens placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on him opening the door for teams to make Offer sheets on Jackson that the Ravens can always match. So that first part That's what we heard the other day But before the whole Ken Francis thing Before his name came out Mike Florio he had reported that that Lamar and his representation the person that was representing him was like Hey, he's ready to move on from the Ravens and initially me. I was like, oh, well, I mean I wasn't surprised if it is true Again and again with everything I should have prefaced this video with that But I gotta still say it now. We won't know till we know With everything every report rumor story article video this that and a third We won't know till we know so in order to continue to keep your sanity I know some Ravens fans and lost it already But you got to go into everything with that. We won't know till we know I am very glad and I know there's gonna be a lot of deflected I know it's not gonna be too much straightforwardness and I get that because they still in the middle of negotiations and whatnot But I am very glad that today We'll get to hear from mr. Hardball himself and we know he's gonna get asked about Lamar Jackson status of everything So I'm gonna be very interested to see what mr. Hardball has to say about all of that So and again, I'm not expecting him to be like, all right. This is where we are in contract negotiations This is how many years it is and this is what Lamar turned down and this is what he would maybe accepted No, I'm not expecting any crazy details like that But it will be nice to hear a little something about what's going on But back to this um as far as Lamar if he is really uh interested in or open to Moving on from the Baltimore Ravens um Initially when that report first came out, I was like, oof. Yeah, no shocker there But then at the same time I saw what people were like. Well, this could be a negotiation strategy You know, I didn't think about that I didn't think about that And it could have been a strategy to really start trying to give things moving in the right direction And whether it be with the Baltimore Ravens or whether it be with somebody else Because teams if if they know like a You're gonna stay like say for instance, it's it's a job It's it's an you working at a job that you've been at for a while you want to race um, but you apply to this other job And if this other job feels like uh, you know what you really like that company over there And if we offer you a position here We we would like to we know you could come do the job Uh, we can give you a nice raise and all but if you're just gonna go back to the same company that you work for Why are we even off for you to position? Because I mean they could just end up giving you a raise too. So why don't we even waste our time? But if they know like hey, no, no, no, I'm I'm willing me as the employee I'm actually willing to go to your company. No, no, I'm willing to leave my previous company If they know that then they may be more inclined to be like, okay. No, okay. Let's let's talk some numbers Let's talk some numbers. Let's see what we can work out And they may be more inclined and really try to get a deal going with you So this just if this is true from a negotiation standpoint It's a good move because it could work in his favor both ways Whether before the Ravens or for another team Um, and if it does start to drum up some more interest Early on then this could help him out as far as his market as far as uh Just get getting the deal getting them numbers Find out what it's going to be and then he could compare that to whatever it is The Ravens are offering if that's still on the table and whatnot. So it would help but anyway, let's continue Uh, it says Now i'm not hearing anything and again, this was Jeremy Fowler on ESPN Via video. I said now i'm not hearing anything hard and fast right now on teams making an office sheet That has not happened yet Okay, so I mean self-explanatory nobody sign up to an office sheet. Okay, cool Uh negotiations have not progressed that far, but there's still a lot of time Could heat up closer to the draft and yes, that's true too teams um Are positioning themselves For quarterbacks coming up in this draft and a team may be in a certain position where they may like this quarterback but they may not be able to get this certain quarterback in the draft um and anything could happen and and if Excuse me, of course with deadlines a lot of deadlines. They tend to spark action um and the deadline to get a Lamar Jackson Before the draft and to be able to give them the ravens of a first round pick this year And then of course one next year if you were to sign him to an office sheet and the ravens didn't match That deadline is obviously before the nfl draft at the end of april So you got about a month to do that. So you got some time not too much time, but you got some time. Um So we'll see now another thing too another possibility Is that with this whole Lamar thing say for instance That the ravens wanted to trade him he wanted to move on ravens wanted to trade him But they they wanted to get a little more than um the two first round picks Uh over this year next year I believe i'm i'm pretty sure they could he could sign a franchise tag Uh and instead of going the office sheet route they could just trade them They could just trade him on the franchise tag and then they'll be able to collect more picks Instead of just the two first round picks the the office sheet way But anyway continuing it says a lot of teams are watching indianapolis at number four overall Uh, should they feel like they can't get the quarterback they want at that spot? Would they entertain taking or taking their new head coach Shane stikin who had a lot of success with the mobile quarterback in philadelphia with jaylon hertz Try to make that move And yeah, um, coats have been a team that have been named as a big possibility for the marjax and I know um There was that rumor report or whatever from somebody I I don't know. I just I saw the guy on twitter say that the the the the the the coats plane had been in baltimore for like over the weekend or something like that I I don't know man. We'll see but um But I didn't know who he was Um, and I didn't know if it was true or not. So I I don't know. So anyway, we'll see but um Coats have been named as a team that could possibly be interested in a little more jackson um, they have the uh, the cap space they have the draft capital, um And yeah, and they have a needed quarterback And I know where they got rid of matt ryan They got rid of stephane give more people like oh, they clearing out cap space hold up now So let's see. Anyway, I said and meanwhile baltimore is at least Giving some indications to some free agents. They've been meeting with that. They would like to keep lemar jackson They hope he's there, but they're not committing one way or the other So still unclear to players like say nelson agilore who come in and signed with baltimore as a wide receiver They don't know they don't quite know who their quarterback is going to be. Yeah And that's something that we've talked about a lot on here. Um, if ravens were trying to sign or even trade for a wide receiver Oh, yeah, that's great. That'd be awesome But that wide receiver may be hesitant like nelson agilore. That's the agilore. It's like, hey, look, I don't care cut the check He's like hey sign me whoever throw me the ball. I don't care. I'm trying to get this money but other Wide receivers per se more like elite wide receivers and whatnot They may be like, uh, get your quarterback situation figured out first and then we'll talk later But by the time later comes around It might be too late It might be too late so Um, but anyway backing up real quick when when he said meanwhile baltimore is at least giving some indications to some free agents They've been meeting with that they would like to keep lemar I get it. I get why uh, because especially to a free agent like You don't you know if you try to sign somebody you can go tell them like, oh We'll know if lemar standing up Like that free agent gonna be like, okay. Bye. Hang up Uh, and then they did also said they hope he's there But they're not committing one way or the other And I mean you can't You you can't You you can say all the right stuff to people You can say all the right stuff to free agents and whatnot and potential signings and whatnot but You can't commit because you don't know What if lemar's like, hey, look, I want out who knows if he said that already. We don't know But so as far as the Raven side They're not committing because they can't commit You can't tell the free act like all right. It's a for sure thing. Lemar is definitely gonna be here next year You don't know You go want it to happen. You could want him to be there, but you don't know and like I keep saying we won't know till we know Ravens don't know right now. Lemar don't know right now. Nobody knows right now. What's gonna go down so every day that passes just It's it's more information, but at the same time it's still Not much not much that's new So it's just it's just a process. It's a waiting process So we'll continue to wait and we'll continue to see what goes down if anything. I know, um, Mike florio I know he's been he's been having a blast with this he he put out a report this morning He put out an article this morning. He said that uh, lemar should actually show up to the owner's meetings in arizona He should show up to the meetings and stuff Just so he can start talking to teams directly if there's any interest But yeah, so again, we do we just waiting this whole thing out, man We'll continue to wait this whole thing out because he ain't got no choice I I've seen a lot of fans say, oh man, this thing is taking too much of my time. They need to hurry this up Ravens ain't on your watch The bar jacks are they know on your watch, man? Like they got time man. They got time It's always funny when I see people say that man. Like hey, they need to hurry this thing up They need to get this thing done by xyz date. Da da da They ain't waiting for you. They ain't rushing on for you. They they taking their deer Sweet time with this whole thing and they obviously will continue to because it don't seem like nothing's shaking. No time soon But again, we won't know till we know and we'll continue to wait to see if when it comes to being with the Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson will remain in or out
