That should be shocking. But it's not. The more we watched it, the more we knew it was the only explanation.

And we all know why they did it... but are told we're crazy when we say it out loud.

Very true

There is only one very possible and realistic catch to that. He has a no trade clause. There's no way if I were in his shoes that I would agree to a trade without a contract extension in place. He certainly couldn't be forced into doing so and I would say the interest in him would be high enough he wouldn't be compelled to do so.

What he is referring to is the immigration bill. It was proposed to fix the immigration problem. The Republicans flatly rejected the bill. One Republican lawmaker told why he was voting against it............

U.S. Representative Troy Nehls (R-Texas) stated he would oppose a bipartisan border security deal to avoid helping President Joe Biden's political standing.

Nehls told CNN, "Let me tell you, I'm not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden's approval rating... I will not help the Democrats try to improve this man's dismal approval ratings. I'm not going to do it. Why would I?"

Nothing about his vote was attributed to the bill being bad or lacking. His reason for voting against it was because he thought it would help Biden.

Uhh... he did NOTHING. And everything to encourage it. He even invented an app so they could bypass the entire border process and be flown to their favorite city.

He literally told them to, quote: "surge the border". And then, with 5-10,000 crossing per day, repeated said the border was closed. Did you seriously miss all of that??

The question is not whether of not DID BIDEN DO NOTHING TO STOP THE BORDER CRISIS.

The question is DID BIDEN DO ENOUGH?

The answer is NO.

FACT: Trump basically "stopped" the border crossings. I do not agree with means and methods, but the answer is pretty obvious.

I have no idea what Fact and Myth is as a website and/or publication. No rating on "ad fontes"...

Unless, you want to talk trade instead of free agent. In which case that dead money is still charged to the Ravens. In a trade scenario, it would be on a one year deal and the trade team would only be on the hook for $51,250. If the Ravens want out of the contract, they could take a low pick offer to get him off the books for around a $33.09 M cap hit in 2027 and be done with him. It would be a very expensive one year tryout to see if he likes us and we like him before jumping both feet into a long term deal. At the very least, it would give you probably best case scenario veteran QB for a drafted QB in the 2027 draft.

Don't trust Shedeur to mentor the new guy? Get Lamar to do it at a premium price for one year. Big hurdle is no trade clause, but he might want to be re-united with Monken...

Ravens could be desperate enough to eat some of the salary, but then the draft compensation would also get higher.

Terrible news. One of the more articulate and thoughtful posters on this site.

I have no idea what he is going to do.

He may transfer. He could have come out this past year. When that discussion was happening he said he is calling his own shots.

But who the hell knows I mean he is a Manning.

Archie Manning the grandfather was really good.

A truly great player stuck on a bad team in New Orleans. Arch resembles him.

He was a multi-sport star in football, basketball, track, and baseball. He was drafted four times by Major League Baseball franchises but chose to pursue football.

He was 6'3" and was very athletic. He took a beating with New Orleans. They were terrible when he was there.

That changes what I was asking. Never mind.

What they were saying on "First Take" was players don't want to go into their final contract year without an extension.

And the team "Baltimore" may want to trade him while they can rather than letting him walk and get nothing in return letting him play out next year.

Lamar would have to approve the trade and they cannot franchise him.

Got to throw out the lineage... There was only one Manning... er wait.. there were only two Mannings... no, no, wait.. there were only THREE Mannings.

Seriously though. If any person that actually shows talent on film should have a leg up on "help", he's the guy. I don't know how much his uncles or grand father have offered.. maybe they are the reason he has climbed as high as he has already? But, they should be able to help him transition from college to pro, for at least all the environment questions that come into play. They will probably throw him back to his coaches on player questions, but the outside noise should be lessened with their help in that aspect.

The kid has way above average talent. I haven't seen the ability to take all levels of talent around him and elevate it into a non-stop force of willing a team to win under any circumstance. That's what Peyton had.. Eli did not. Eli had great teammates around him that made HIM better. Never saw the old man play, so I don't have any clue on him.

Expectations are at an all time high for him though, I don't think there was ever a chance at him meeting those. The kid is playing at a high level and reporters are calling for the back up QB? What has he done to warrant that?

I would be happy to get a QB in the draft with his skill set.

I watched "Get Up" this morning and it was a topic.

They asked the question is he done in Baltimore?

I don't know all the ins and outs. They made it sound like his time with the Ravens may be over.

I'd be more worried about your team splitting to a rebuilding team with the second-youngest rosters in the NFL.

You only post on here when your team is doing well, and you've been posting less and less.

Actually his contract ends after the 2027 NFL season, making him a free agent in March 2028.

This is why the dems from a republican trump voter…

I assumed the dead cap for spreading it out counted against the team that issued the contract. When people suggested trading Watson, the block was we would owe his dead cap right away, at least that's what many people ( FB posters, other online media people etc) commented.

He probably has spread his contract out with dead years, like DeShawn did for the Browns.

I am unsure how the cap works in regard to these dead cap years.

So if his contract is up, why would the $85 M count against a team that signs him? The question is serious. Unless I am interpreting your statement, it sounds like you are implying no matter what he signs for, that team takes an $85 cap hit? Or am I not understanding?

Sorry to be so dense , but cap rules can be a bit crazy sometimes.

Maybe Deshaun can recommend his agent. He's done a good job for him!!!!

I wonder about Manning.

I have only watched bits and pieces of him playing.

What I have seen was a guy with good tools but questionable decision making.

I really don't know if he will live up to the hype of his name?

I saw Mensah make a throw to Toney in the end zone that was sick.

He has incredible touch and he is really accurate.

I am not a college expert. I watch some highlights and then when the season ends start doing deep dives.

But everytime I have watched Mensah this year. He has been exceptional.

The cost of an NFL quarterback's fifth-year option ranges from roughly $22.5 million to over $50.3 million, depending on the player's performance, playtime, and Pro Bowl selections.
