in regards to my future plans. As of March 2nd I requested a trade from the Ravens organization for which the Ravens has not been interested in meeting my value, any and everyone that’s has met me or been around me know I love the game of football and my dream is to help a team
win the super bowl. You all are great but I had to make a business decision that was best for my family and I. No matter how far I go or where my career takes me, I’ll continue to be close to my fans of Baltimore Flock nation and the entire State of Maryland. You’ll See me again

I do find this hilarious.
He will be set regardless of the deal he signs. When the returns start to diminish so greatly at such a tax bracket, I feel like I might also fight for as much as possible. [Reply]
I can see them trying to offload to an NFC team like the Falcons, 49'ers, Vikings, Tampa Bay, Redskins, Rams and even the Panthers could sign Lamaar and trade the #1 pick away for even MORE picks.
I'm so confused by this. The Ravens gave him the non-exclusive franchise tag. So why the fuck does he need to ask for a trade? He's free to negotiate with other teams on a deal. [Reply]

He asked for the trade before the tag was applied to him.
All this would have been completely irrelevant if he had the intelligence to hire an agent.
He is going to lose out on more than the 3% agent fee for whatever contract he signs. [Reply]
After last year's wild FA period it's not hard to see why these players believed their market was more than it is. Veach made them all look like clowns when he dialed back the spending, traded an elite player, and drafted a gem of a draft class. Copycat league, these players were looking fastball and got thrown a curve. [Reply]

He doesn't. He is just trying to drum up interest. Or sympathy. [Reply]
