As Lamar has accrued some of that 5th yr 1st rnd pick money, he can afford to sit, unlike Bates last year.  Balt is a smart organization.  They'd be fools to sign him to a 100% guaranteed contract.  His injury history isn't going to get better if he keeps ot the same playstyle and he ISN'T a pocket passer.  Lamar knows this which is why he wants a 100% guarantee.  Maybe it's Lamar to the Jets instead of Rogers.

Can they trade Lamar on the tag? Normally yes teams would trade for a player on a tag because a tag costs usually a top contract and 2 first round picks....


.... but with Lamar that changes because 2 first round picks is a bargin. Whoever gets him has to offer him the largest contract in the league no matter if they trade for him or just use the 2 firsts.
