PostSportsPlus: Lamar Jackson’s impending contract standoff has the NFL talking, and scheming
, Banner wrote that the answer to whether Jackson made a mistake by not getting his extension done before the season “is a resounding no” and credited his “smart and calculated” approach. The reason is the spike at the top of quarterback pay created by extensions for Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, Kyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, Watson and Wilson since Jackson first became eligible.
“The Ravens would be more comfortable with [a higher percentage] guaranteed if the deal is shorter, just in case he gets hurt or something else happens, even if it’s not as consequential. That should be a deal mitigating risk.” Playing on two franchise tags with Washington worked wonders for Cousins, who parlayed free agency into a first-of-its-kind fully guaranteed three-year contract with the Vikings and now has more than $201 million in earnings over an 11-year career, according to spotrac.com. Prescott was headed down that path before the Cowboys blinked, even after he was injured playing on a franchise tag.
As many as 15 teams could change quarterbacks for one reason or another in the offseason. Which might be most enticed by trading for Jackson? The Texans , Seahawks and Lions all currently hold multiple first-round picks and by far the most assets in the first three rounds of the 2023 Draft. Moving on from Davis Mills is a no-brainer for Houston, but the Seahawks and Lions have tougher decisions to make on Pro Bowler Geno Smith and resurgent Jared Goff, respectively.
