But to be honest, barring a serious injury to him, it just feels like his hand gets strengthened by every move that happens elsewhere. If Murray "sets the market" here at $43m/yr with a bit more than half guaranteed... then surely Lamar Jackson can gather a click higher than that, right? I think the guess on Lamar's contract average was "close to 30" at one point... now maybe it's 44.

Does Lamar get dragged locally? Nationally I felt like it was the Ravens getting questioned. (Or people hinting this means the Ravens don't value him that highly and kinda want to move on with Huntley instead of committing the guaranteed dollars. Or at least that they see the chance of a serious injury being likely enough they don't want to commit until they absolutely have to.)
