NFL QB Lamar Jackson Tweets he turned down 3 year, $133 M guaranteed !

He doesn't use an agent trying to negotiate a deal for himself. An agent would have certainly navigated the past two years of back and forth with his team in Baltimore much differently. Would an agent have advised him to walk away for a huge offer last September? I doubt it. But like Lamar says everyone is just guessing. The longer and uglier this gets, the less fans are going to care about him. That's my gut. Will be interesting to see what happens on his phone today. That's for sure.

NFL.com reports "Jackson added: "People throw (poop emoji) at the wall and hope it stick."

What is unclear from Jackson's tweet is the actual parameters of the three-year, $133 million fully guaranteed offer. Was it part of a larger deal? A short-term solution from the Ravens?

NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported on Free Agency Frenzy that, based on his understanding, the $133 million fully guaranteed was part of a more extensive five-year offer, meaning there were other non-guaranteed years on top."
