Why they didn't at max franchise tag Jones made no sense.
Literally the Giants could have negotiated with Lamar Jackson and only had to give up 2 firsts to get him lol.
Technically the NFL doesn't allow Poison Pills (ridiculous contract point that makes it impossible for one team to sign - like The player is only allowed to play one game in the state of Minnesota per yr or contract is voided...) BUT, they can A) Structure the deal with a lot of upfront money the Ravens can't match or B) Just give Lamar a fully guaranteed deal like the Ravens wouldn't accept.
I MUCH rather have Lamar jackson (and if that means losing Saquon so be it) than Daniel Jones. And only having to give up two firsts to do it would be an easy choice. **** they'd probably gain a 2nd back as a comp pick for losing Daniel Jones too
Only good thing is Daniel Jones is basically on a 2 year deal. Unfortunately it's for $41M/yr, when the Franchise Tag was like $32M...
