  • The Ravens used the nonexclusive tag on Jackson, sources told ESPN. With the Ravens using the nonexclusive tag, Jackson can engage in contract talks with other teams. If Jackson signs an offer sheet with another team, Baltimore has the right to match the offer to keep him or take two first-round picks as compensation. The nonexclusive tag -- which will pay Jackson $32 million this season -- is less expensive than the exclusive one (projected at $45 million), which would have allowed the Ravens to control his rights this year.

Interesting. This morning saw several folks saying there's no way they use the nonexclusive tag.

Curious how it goes

The business ramifications of this are interesting. Lamar gets to negotiate his value with other teams. Even if he doesn’t sign this year, he can gauge his value to the league. Baltimore gets to see how the league values him as well.

On top of that, Baltimore can pay him way less this season. I wonder if Lamar would prefer this tag or Exclusive? If that happens, he can’t shop around

I don't know how you couldn't think they were going to use this. They either get 2 first round picks or a reasonable price instead of whatever it is Lamar is trying to argue for himself... Lamar honestly needs a real agent
