He can thank Jalen for the framework of how a deal should look.

They gonna get him signed, and his 1st year number will be so low, they gonna run out and get him DeAndre Hopkins

So soon?

Well, Lamar, I hope you and your mom learned a valuable lesson from all of this.
I mean everyone kind of knew the minute he signed his contract he'd be the highest paid player....until the next contract is done.

I thought this was a self-evident fact, but we had people in this very thread that disagree.

It was obvious Lamar would get more than Hurts, after all, Hurts had another low amount owed this year plus could be franchised next year
Lamar was already making 32 million this year.
Lamar was simply in a position to sign a bigger deal than Hurts all else being equal

Lamar tweets hype video
He didn't shout out his mom, but I think he's wearing her sunglasses, and that's much sweeter.

Soooooooo, what'd he get?

But I was laughed at by Stonehead when I suggested that they could just add a little more to the Hurts deal and get this one done.

First Rodgers, then Jackson. The draft is now going to seem like an afterthought.

Now this signing suggest how much weight all of the Lamar stories from the past few months should get, but wonder if there really was a team or two thinking they could keep their 2023 #1 and pursue Jackson after the draft? Probably not, but if so what would that change tonight?

Be interesting to see what their WR corps looks like by season opener. Hopkins could be there, OBJ is already there, Andrews demands targets. Batemen might not get the target share his owners would like.As someone who recently traded for Bateman in both of my dynasty leagues, WOOHOO!

I’m skeptical they’d get Hopkins after paying so much to Beckham, but stranger things have happened.Be interesting to see what their WR corps looks like by season opener.

With the departure of Roman, I like Bateman’s upside in that offense, and I’m equally skeptical that OBJ lasts an entire season.
[Robinson] More on Hopkins and the #Ravens…keep close tabs on the #Bills’ first round pick tonight at No. 27 overall. If they’re out on a Hopkins pursuit, watch for a receiver pick.I’m skeptical they’d get Hopkins after paying so much to Beckham, but stranger things have happened.Be interesting to see what their WR corps looks like by season opener.

“From a certain point of view…
One could argue Hurts had more money added to his alternative.
Either way, good to have that over.

and there is no commission to pay an agent...
We'll never know but if Burrow or Herbert signed yesterday I firmly believe Lamar wouldn't have been the highest paid player ever.
And it seems they did finally learn that the Browns are idiots and the Watson contract isn't the new norm.
ETA- let's see if they sign this offseason

NFL media can send a check to Lamar and Aaron for the offseason content.
I always tell people I never watch reality TV, but clearly I do.

Guess a lot of people owe Lamar an apology

Good for Lamar and good for the Ravens. Count me in the boat that thinks Hurt's agent probably played the biggest role in getting this done.
Was it worth being his own agent? I'm guessing he maybe broke even. He saved like $8m. Josh Allen's accrued interest on his bonus money should exceed that by now with a modest interest rate. Figure you have to pay the agent who would have been smart enough to tell you to take an extension 2 years ago, and it's probably somewhere around even I'd guess.

I know what agent fee % typically are but does anyone know which portion of contracts they come off of?
One time payment based on theoretical value? Total full guarantees at signing? Total salary sans signing bonus?
Do they continue to get paid as future payments vest?

It's fine to believe that but it's not the nature of how the system works. I firmly believe he would have gotten the Burrow/Herbert deal plus $1
More like Hurts' agent should send the Ravens a nice thank you letter as he signed for almost exactly what they reportedly offered Lamar last offseason.

Bijan probably can play receiver.Until the Ravens draft a WR tonight.As someone who recently traded for Bateman in both of my dynasty leagues, WOOHOO!
I don't know where you guys get this stuff. It's very easy to look up QB contracts and when they were signed, and it absolutely is not simply the prior deal plus $1. This notion that the player doesn't matter at all is silly.
Hopefully at least one of them sign this offseason and we can see, although I can already hear the "time value of money/the market has changed" arguments if it doesn't come for a little while.
