The reactions to the Lamar Jackson saga are cracking me up because they make no sense to me.
"The Browns gave up more and paid more for Watson, and the Broncos did for Wilson, too." Yeah, and both of those look like questionable decisions. Yet I see talking heads using those examples as reasons FOR doing the same with Jackson. They're reasons for NOT doing it.
Jackson's last two seasons: 63% completions, 33 TDs, 20 INTs, and 9 games missed. What part of that says $200 million and two first round picks? "Yeah, but he was MVP in 2019!" He won a media vote 4 years ago, which is the same amount of playoff games he's won.
I'm not surprised the market for Jackson is minimal, especially if the stories of what he's demanding are true.
