Seems like forever since Odell has played. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make much noise in Baltimore.
Uhhhhhh, what? That is a dumb signing. What a waste of cash.
That is WAY too much $$.

IMO this pisses Lamar off...Ravens never got him help and when they do, it's somebody who is well beyond his prime coming off injury and gave him more than double what he is worth, and that is being generous...I'm not sue OBJ is even worh nine mil. Lamar has to be thinking WTF?? Lamar needs to pick up the phone and call the Jets himself and make this happen.
Kinda seems that way. Ravens always seemed to have a rock solid front office, and John Harbaugh seemed like a top-level coach there. Not sure why all the turmoil lately.
Baltimore does have a rock solid front office. But the dumbassery that is all things Jimmy Hasslim (Browns owner) in giving Watson that massive guarantee (because Hasslim apparently thought that Watson was the only QB left on the planet), Lamar Jackson knows that he's better than Watson so he wants an even better contract. The Lamar Jackson situation has thrown the franchise into turmoil.
The Ravens franchised Lamar, risking a LeVeon Bell style holdout, or sign him to a one year contract with a guarantee that they won't franchise him down the road. The theory is that other teams aren't giving Lamar an offer sheet because (1) if it's a reasonable offer, the Ravens will just match it and the other team will be left with nothing but a pissed off returning QB and having had money tied up for a short while or (2) they make Lamar an offer that the Ravens cannot match. But then that team loses two first round picks and has overspent for a QB.
My take on Lamar Jackson is that he's a sporadic passer who's had injury issues and doesn't want to be in an offense that has designed runs for the QB anymore. So the Ravens have a new OC and are trying to accommodate him, but he's asking for way too much money.
OBJ will not be worth it, IMO. Probably puts up average stats at best.
Ravens need to trade Lamar, no one will sign him for 45+ a year and two first rounders

Can they trade him since they already tagged him? Don’t honestly know how that works.
I think Ozzie Newsome basically said that , the Watson deal really puts teams not only the Ravens in a tough spot.
It's Cleveland's money to spend how they see fit..owners whining about it look like idiots. They should be thrilled in all honesty...that a team sucks so bad they had to blow their wad for one (not that great), player, and are a laughing stock for doing so. It is Lamar's fault he doesn't have a deal yet, not Cleveland's.
Ozzie was not whining he is stating a fact, it is Cleveland’s money but they set the market but it’s hard to convince players that the market was set at a ridiculous price and we can’t match or beat it.
Yep. The Browns have graduated from wrecking their own team annually to wrecking the whole league.
Lamar has been the sole source of the turmoil. They made a reasonable offer and he’s failed to make a sane counter offer.
