I’ve said that the late signing of OBJ shows a disconnect in the process on the part of their FO. If you’ve really been following the Raven FO looks bad today with the Hurts signing.
You think the Ravens look bad because they offered $21M more in guaranteed money to Jackson than the Eagles offered Hurts and Jackson refused? LOL
The Ravens only look bad if you think Jackson is worth more than $230M guaranteed. Do you think he is worth that much?
The Ravens and Jackson have been negotiating for over a year. The communication is not the issue. Signing OBJ four weeks into free agency isn’t a sign of a disconnect. The single most important matter holding up a deal is the guaranteed money. Period. Everything else are just distractions.
If the Bengals offer Burrow $100M guaranteed less than what he believes he is worth, then I can almost guarantee “communication” problems in Cincinnati, too. Because that’s a salary problem, not a communication problem. And I doubt it helps that Jackson is serving as his own agent during the negotiations.
