That's not even taking into consideration that a deal can be negotiated outside of the franchise tag rules.

What bringing in both Lamar and Richardson does is create a very long contention window. Irsay keeps talking about wanting to win 2 Super Bowls in the next decade, the best way to have a shot at that is to completely shore up the QB position.
