You realize the trade can be negotiated, right? The Ravens can have Lamar sign the tender, then trade him for whatever is agreed upon. The two 1s is only if he signs an offer sheet with another team.

Do you really think the Ravens will accept a trade for less than the cost of just signing him? That seems naive considering the haul the Texans got for a fucking rapist.

Why would he be different than any other recently franchised player?

I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

Some people think DeCosta wants to trade him. By trading away all current year first rounders (or waiting until after the draft to negotiate with Lamar, which any team could easily do), the ceiling on potential trade compensation the Ravens can receive is a 2024 1 and a 2025 1, because that's the compensation the non-exclusive tag allows. They're not going to get more than that at this point, because they've shown an unwillingness to give him 5 years fully guaranteed, meaning any team that wants him can just do that and get him. So the question is what's the price that they just agree to move on at?

I find it bizarre that nobody even seems to be talking to the guy. What is with not even kicking the tires?

Before the 2023 draft, the compensation for signing Lamar is a 2023 1 and a 2024 1. After the 2023 draft, it's a 2024 1 and a 2025 1. Don't be surprised if there are negotiations with him after the draft. Also, no one wants to do the work of negotiating a contract for Eric DeCosta. If he wants to keep Lamar, he can negotiate a deal. If he doesn't, he can negotiate a trade.
