Yeah, I don't know how things might work from here. In theory, if Lamar talked with, say, the Colts... and worked out a deal where they'd trade for him on the one year franchise tender, then maybe he could force that sort of deal, right?

So, the moving parts could be:
1. Colts and Lamar agree to a new contract
2. Colts and Ravens agree to a deal
3. Lamar signs Ravens 1y tender
4. Ravens trade Lamar to Colts per the deal
5. Lamar signs new deal with Colts

In theory, that seems to be how this could work, right? Presumably for something other than the "two firsts."

I wonder how strong the Ravens front office can be here. If he gets no offers for a contract/trade, and he just sits on the 1y franchise tender, are they willing to just play without him this year? (Maybe, tbh)
