This is a multi billion dollar sport. When it comes to contracts there are winners and losers for those who are involved. Despite how much or how little the amount is.
The problem is they listened to what everyone said besides Lamar. He never said he wanted more than or equal to Watson, his issues were the length of contract and guarantees. He got both of those with his deal, so he won🤷🏾♂️
They know that they are playing dumb so they don’t have to admit he got the best deal on the market without an agent and he is on track to catch and surpass Josh Allen in career earnings without one
But he did. His mom was acting as his agent. So no matter what, he’s still paying. But this wasn’t as huge as people are making it out to be. Regardless of the dollar amount. A third party was still used.
@@deshamallah2265 the point is, a third party was still used. The big thing here was that no agent was being used. But there was, his mom as his representative. So any player would still need one, and I’m sure not everyone’s mom will suffice. So big story for nothing.
@@omgerrrick5344 A mother who isn’t doesn’t have a law degree nor is used to negotiations or does it for a living isn’t a third party dude, he didn’t have an agent
it's like making 18$hr and you want 22$hr so you ask your boss for 30hr or u walk and your boss says no you can have 25hr 😂 you win, that was Lamar plan
I thought In negotiations you always suppose to ask for more than you’d accept so I think Lamar actually got what he wanted which is more than what the ravens wanted to give
What pisses me off he didn’t have an agent but I’m sure he had a lawyer to go over the contract he got rid of the lobbyist middle man system that’s also in our senate and congress
After strongly insisting that Lamar NEEDED an agent to get the deal done, the show wanted to put Shannon on the spot to see if he'll apologize or give Lamar his props for getting it done on his own, and Shannon just couldn't admit to being wrong, nor give Lamar his props. Grow up or shut up Shannon.
It’s hilarious, Lamar and his camp came out and said 2-3 different times that he’s not set on a fully guaranteed deal, yet.. even “fans” of Lamar and the media still are going with the narrative that they themselves started and pushed, purely out of assumption, because they hate that they have to swallow their craw, and give him credit. I.e, Shannon refusing to admit that he didn’t need an agent, but pretending that he’s happy for him. Jalen Hurts has an agent, and she negotiated the richest deal in the NFL for Jalen, the. A week later Lamar (without an agent) negotiates a deal bigger than the richest NFL contract in history that was negotiated by an actual Agent.. Lmao. Just give it up y’all. It’s okay to be wrong.
They keep up the technicalities, the richest "3 year deal", when seeing is a5 year contract. But Shannon wrong and know it, hated on Lamar, and don't want to admit it. Good for LJ8
Man I gotta say Shannon I’m disappointed you couldn’t simply admit you were wrong that Lamar couldn’t get this deal done without an agent, especially after the hurts signing I remember you guys basically laughing at Lamar for doing things how he was doing it, give the man his props
$260m and $185m guaranteed is an unbelievable contract. I just hope Lamar performs and rewards the Ravens by winning a Superbowl, and that’s coming from a 49rs fan 👌🏿😁
As a raven fan and a huge Lamar fan I hope so too that would be the best way for Lamar to stick it to his haters 😂 like can't win with a rb playing QB aight bet and bam he wins a Superbowl gunna be a lot of Lamar haters looking like 🤡
he will never get close. Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Trevor Lawrence are better QBs than Lamar. I'm a Giants fan. I don't care about the AFC. But this was a dumb contract, Lamar is Mike Vick basically with a weaker arm. How many rings Vick got?
@@BananaDanceMan He needs to shift his playstyle to a mobile pocket passer. If he keeps scrambling every other play then it will cut down his career to half.
Exactly! Glad someone else sees it. And he won't admit he didn't think Lamar would get this contract without an agent, Shannon even said he's going to have to sit out and everything. Lamar is winning
I love how Shannon struggled with calculating the percentages. Hey Shannon. Knock off 2 zeroes that gets you 1%. So if you want to figure out 3 percent knock off 2 zeroes then multiply it by 3. So for $156,000,000. Taking off 2 zeroes gets you $1,560,000. Then multiply it by 3. That's $4,680,000. On the fly you could have just gone with $1,500,000 * 3 and say about 4 and a half.
That's what was reported. "The Ravens' star quarterback wants a guaranteed contract comparable to Deshaun Watson's deal with the Cleveland Browns and only submitted counteroffers of fully guaranteed contracts exceeding Watson's during negotiations last year, according to Jeremy Fowler and Jamison Hensley of ESPN"
As soon as that Jalen Hurts contract was signed I had a feeling that Lamar was going to sign essentially the same contract for slightly more than Hurts, and that’s essentially what happened. The Hurts contract made it clear to Lamar that the Watson contract was an outlier. That’s what finally got this deal done.
I’m the biggest Shannon Sharpe fan….however he is starting to sound like he’s lowkey bitter with the big payday Lamar’s able to get without using his advice or similar advice from others, idk hope I’m wrong just the vibe I get whenever they speak on Lamar.
Coming Back to this After his first year of winning an mvp, going to the afc championship and on his way to another mvp. 2 years in, 2 MVPs, Lamar Gone Sign The Biggest fully guaranteed contract ever to be signed, next year.
Lamar did everything he was supposed to do in negotiations. They call it the "turn and burn" when you are willing to walk away from a (teams) final offer. Lamar didn't settle as much as he maximized his opportunity. You just got to have thick skin. I really think they overblowing this listening to management criticism directly because i think most companies do a version of this when raise reviews or performance evaluations come up because they don't really want to pay you top dollar.
As others already pointed out, he never said anything about Watsons contract or wanting the same/more money. In fact, in the last episode of the Lounge Podcast he said it was never about the money.
Ya'll obviously didn't watch the press conference and Ravens interview on the Lounge where he spoke very openly about the situation. 1. He didn't have to "crawl thru the mud for this", that's just want ya'll media want it to be like. He and Ravens kept things in-house so ya'll speculated nonstop. 2. There was no bad blood, he explicitly stated he always wanted to be a Raven and fulfill his draft day promise of bringing a superbowl to Ravens. EDC also echoed this sentiment repeatedly. 3. He talked on how his trade request was simply a business move to get things rolling and he wasn't even really trying to talk to other teams. 4. He often spoke how he separated his feelings while being his own agent and seemed pretty happy at his press conference and spoke highly of Harbaugh and EDC.
So far, so good got weapons, now sure up the line, they need to resign MP, pass rusher for the defense. Implement a great spread offense AND let's gooooooo!!!
All that money just messed up that cap space, it’ll definitely be ugly knowing how stacked the AFC is. I doubt he’ll ever see a Super Bowl. Difference between him and Jalen’s situation is that he actually took them there.
Congratulations to Lamar Jackson !!!! He deserves every single penny of his contact and more MAHOMES IS THE ONLY QB WHO CHECKS MORE BOXES THAN LAMAR . . . FOR NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
Shannon i like you but stop it! Lamar did well and won the battle. He did what you all said he couldn't! He never once came out and said he wanted Deshaun money so stop comparing! You were wrong about the whole situation! You said he couldn't go against the machine and win...well guess what, he did pretty damn good!
We expect Skip to be obviously wrong and still double down on it, but come on Shannon, you're usually better than that. Just admit that you were wrong, take the L and move on. - Lamar has never publicly stated that he wanted more than Deshaun - He signed for $50 million more than the last publicized offer he got - He has the opportunity to go back for even more in 3 yrs - AND with no trade, no tag clauses He's doing just fine without an "agent".
The ceiling on this is bigger than any of those other fully guarnteed contracts. I like it. Hes got lots of bragging right and not a dime to do nothing agents. If agents want 10 % of the contracts going forward they need to get out there are play 10% of the minutes.
Lamar signs a 185mil guaranteed contract and Shannon says an agent probably could've gotten him more, Shannon just can't accept the fact that someone succeeded in doing it their way. The 7.8mil that would've went to some shiesty agent will now go to his mom.
Shannon got this wrong, Lamar ended up getting the deal he wanted. Even if he didn’t get $200M guaranteed. He still got overpaid, he still got a no trade clause and no franchise tag clause Richest 3 years ever. Kudos to Lamar who now has OBJ who got $15M Win all around!
Lamar said in the interview he wasn’t forreal about the trade , which explains why nobody wasted their time he made it clear he did not wanna leave Baltimore in meetings
Shannon is using this false bias that lamar wanted 250 guaranteed. That was a lie, he never asked for that amount, he just wanted more total than murray/ Wilson.
Generally I agree with Shannon but on this one he was apart of the media’s agenda to bash Lamar & has been a COMPLETE hater because of him not having an agent. I applaud Lamar nobody but him and his mom put in the work no agent deserve his money straight up.
Lamar isn’t your traditional franchise QB , and he does things against the status quo, anytime you do things outside the norm, ppl always have a problem with it
Shannon and Skip were so off on this topic that they're trying to spin this any way they can to sound like their previous takes on the situation was at least a little bit accurate. Yes he tweeted that he asked for a trade, but it's pretty clear that was a business tactic and he even answered to that yesterday saying he never really wanted to leave. But no one wants to believe the actual sources, just their own opinions on the situation, even after they're proven wrong.
I hope Lamar a true professional. Doesn't have resentment or. create jealousy. Time after time an athlete gets a big contract and fails to deliver. The best pros have humility. Lamar got a long way to go and needs a lot of protection.
I think this was a great contract and both did their parts. Lamar just need to win. I think he earned what he deserved which is around what he got. Nobody not gonna pay him more than Watson contract. He never said himself he wanted more than that too.
@FPS Larry III doesn't matter ... he's been MVP convo since he got to the league .... Aaron Rodgers level status. All he needs is one SB game ... he doesn't even have to win ... and he'd have held up his end
Lamar Jackson Is Once Again A Trendsetter For All The Right Reasons!!!!! I Expect QuarterBack Contracts In The Future To Be Even More Massive......Especially For African American QuarterBacks No Question!!!!!!!
Shannon did Lamar come out and say that he wanted a bigger contract then deshawn or is that just y'all the media?... Because other sources from my understanding didn't know one know really what Lamar wanted everyone was just guessing.
Skip and Shannon are not so subtly disagreeing with Lamars decision not to have an agent. They're defending their mates and the business. Go Lamar! Shows it can be done
Lamar never said he wanted more then deshaun Watson. Asking to b traded put pressure on the ravens. Lamar wanted Watson money only if they didn’t provide him with better weapons.
When did Lamar ever say he had to have a fully guaranteed deal? All these sports shows have been running with this narrative like Lamar actually said it 😂. Only thing that is certain is that he didn't want to sign for 133 million which was the reported offer the Ravens put out there.

That boy is set for life and just think in 5 more years he will get another 250 million
Lamar Jackson Is Once Again A Trendsetter For All The Right Reasons!!!!! I Expect QuarterBack Contracts In The Future To Be Even More Massive......Especially For African American QuarterBacks No Question!!!!!!!
Shannon did Lamar come out and say that he wanted a bigger contract then deshawn or is that just y'all the media?... Because other sources from my understanding didn't know one know really what Lamar wanted everyone was just guessing.
Well done Lamar. Lot of doubters and agents claiming he wouldn’t get what he wanted but he did
He never asked for a fully guaranteed contract. Plus he did it without an agent.
“40 days and 40 nights” Shannon you are hilarious 😂
No agent!! Great job $$$$$
Message to world Only facts about LJ and mother ur family makes me want to live every day thk u Misses Jackson
Lamar Jackson agent happy!
Skip and Shannon are not so subtly disagreeing with Lamars decision not to have an agent. They're defending their mates and the business. Go Lamar! Shows it can be done
Lamar never said he wanted more then deshaun Watson. Asking to b traded put pressure on the ravens. Lamar wanted Watson money only if they didn’t provide him with better weapons.
When did Lamar ever say he had to have a fully guaranteed deal? All these sports shows have been running with this narrative like Lamar actually said it 😂. Only thing that is certain is that he didn't want to sign for 133 million which was the reported offer the Ravens put out there.
133 at signing...
He signed for 135 at signing
Good contract. We need more guarantee contracts. Football players put there life’s on the line all the time
