What's the reasoning behind banning non football betting in facilities? Just the fact that there is the opportunity to also bet on football through whatever app?

Yeah I think that's kind of a silly rule. But the betting on other football games is definitely a good rule

It's being reported last summer the Ravens offered Lamar Jackson essentially the same contract that Jalen Hurts just signed and he turned it down. Guarantee wasn't big enough, I assume. He's brainwashed by Deshaun Watson's contract. When Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert sign deals that likely won't be close to fully guaranteed, Lamar's leverage is gone because the precedent for fully guaranteed contracts is gone.

Yep - using the Watson contract as any kind of benchmark is delusional. It was a horrible outlier of a contract that no other owner would be dumb enough to consider.

This season he will be 4 seasons removed from his MVP. Last year he was 26th in CP, 22nd in YPP and 17th in Int rate. He’s played in 12 games each of the last two seasons.

He should get paid a lot. He’s a franchise QB. But I don’t think the franchise is going to succeed if he’s going to be a massive cap eater with guaranteed money for several years. Maybe the best case is do the Rams/Stafford or to what looks like the Bills/Allen approach and push the hit down the road a couple years, try to win, then face years of cap hell later. But that doesn’t seem like the Ravens way.

This is pretty much every team's strategy now with every contract. Huge signing bonus to spread across the years, minimal cap in the first year and then figure out the cap hell later.

Odell Beckham Jr's contract is base $15M with the ability to earn and additional like $3M on a one year deal. But it is being spread out over the next like 5 years when he may not even be the the team after the first year.

I think stuff like this shouldn't be allowed, in my opinion. His 2023 contract is $15M guaranteed for the year but his cap his is just shy of $4M.

As a Packers fan, looking forward to less drama anyway. No more waiting for weird revelations on Pat McAfee or perineum tanning season.
