Now that the Baltimore Ravens have applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on QB Lamar Jackson after determining they were unwilling to meet his contract demands, it seems nobody else is willing to do so either. It looks to Doug like the rest of the interested NFL teams are going to wait until after free agency and the Draft before even considering making an offer for Lamar’s services, so it’s likely he could be waiting for quite a while.
Doug Gottlieb: “I think these NFL teams are just sitting there going like, ‘Look, we’re going to go through the free agency, we’re going to go through the draft, and then after the draft let’s see what’s what.”
Dan Beyer: “You don’t have to collude to realize that the price tag is just not what the market is right now.”
