Allen got 46 million a year and I think Mahommes is 50 million a year a couple of years back or last year.

I think they Ravens are not happy right now, they are looking at a negotiating nightmare for Lamar and I think they know it.

I’ve seen Watson at $46 mil (which stands out as a bad one to me). Mahomes at $45 mil and now Rodgers at $50 mil being the highest.

Mahomes and Rodgers are SB winners. I wouldn’t put Lamar up there with those two. Watson I think was desperation from Cleveland so I wouldn’t put too much stock in that one. Players will point to it and it’ll raise numbers to an extent but I think it’ll largely be looked at as an outlier.

I think on the open Market Lamar could get $50 mil/yr. On an extension? Maybe a bit less. $40 mil might be too low for him to accept but I bet that’s more where Baltimore is at.
