.... 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.
Good point, also it is an assumption he will accept the tag.
But if does it puts the Ravens in a tough spot, they either have to match the offer or only get 2 1st's and let him go.
If a team is willing to pay him, giving up those 2 1sts allows that team to structure the deal how they want in year one, so that is a plus.
