Wouldn't technically be a hold-out as I don't believe he's actually signed his tender. It would be similar to the OBJ thing from last year where he just delays signing the tender. And the Ravens could likewise yank the thing but I don't think they'd do it.
I wonder if the trade request is more to send a signal to Baltimore that he would be willing to sign the tender in a sign/trade scenario. Because technically the Ravens really couldn't trade him if he hasn't signed the franchise tender. [Reply]

Technically yeah that would be correct. Makes it tougher on the Ravens since they can't fine him. [Reply]
Ravens need to find a good deal and walk away. Lamar ain’t gonna win a championship from Baltimore especially once he gets paid. He’s outserved his purpose. He will be a great fit for a team like Indy or Atlanta that just want to bring butts back into seats and be competitive, and Lamar can do that for them. With Lamar flubbing the whole contract negotiation Baltimore has their out where they can claim they tried their best. [Reply]
