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

If he returns to form, he is a far better QB than Jackson. Not a better pure athlete, just a better QB. [Reply]
The guy is fucking delusional. This isn't collusion fellas, it's teams not even wanting to discuss a contract because the guy has ridiculous demands and no agent. [Reply]

Former MVP, sub 30... Can't get ONE TEAM?
You telling me Atlanta and Indy are NOT interested?
Well, that’s because you aren’t all too bright.
1) With his style of play, not may teams are going to want to nearly fully guarantee a long term deal for him. One ACL tear and your whole team is decimated.
2) Coupling his desire for a nearly fully guaranteed deal, the team trading for him would also need to send over 2 first round picks.
3) he’s not a smart person and can be bottled up by the right defensive minds (the ones running playoff defenses)
I hope that helps you understand why almost nobody is interested in trading for him.
The idea that “it’s because he’s black” that soo many fall back on is so misguided and even possibly obtuse. Look at the biggest contracts for QBs and you’ll see a commonality…
Honestly, I think Washington should trade for him so he and Bienemy can work together with crayons. [Reply]

Ehhhh. For any instance of that, they failed by fucking up the WR room. [Reply]

I also have to have a tailor made offense for him and my backup QB might be radically different to operate an offense with. It's just not a good bet given the risk. [Reply]
"Hey guys, I know everyone in the NFL thinks the Watson contract was a huge mistake, so yea ummm I want more than he got to be the minimum starting point for my contract."
Nobody is this stupid except Lamar and the Browns. [Reply]

Yea, those guaranteed contracts are stupid as shit.
No way I'm mortgaging the farm, giving up a bunch of draft picks, and putting myself in cap hell unless it's for a completely healthy and absolutely proven pro bowl player like Russell Wilson. [Reply]

Idk
If this Aaron thing blows up on the Jets, they are stupid enough to do it. [Reply]
