I’m going to cite the Bakhtiari injury here, because his injury happened right after he signed his mega deal. So far the Packers have gotten ZIP in return on that contract, but at least it’s not fully guaranteed which has allowed GB to shift money around to help their cap situation.
When you fully guarantee a contract the team no longer has that flexibility.

Sort of a risk / reward thing especially at QB where the pool is so awfully bad.

Good faith does not exist in contract negotiations, on either side. Never ever play your hand especially in public

Being a ass and refusing to talk does not work either

Good faith = lose leverage.
Right now is all PR and posturing. Rule #1 is never play your hand early.

The Watson deal while it’s a benchmark it’s really not. He was being traded, he had to basically “approve” the deal (translation who pays up the most ) and it was more of auction than anything.

Also Jackson is his own agent. It’s the agents job to go ghost a team if necessary. It’s common. Crate leverage. It’s nice click bait but it’s really a lot about nothing

It never hurts to exchange figures and work on a deal no deal can be made when you refuse to talk

Yeah the fully guaranteed QB deals - Cousins and Watson - have been more outliers than anything. The Ravens have tag leverage with Lamar that factors into things, same reason Rodgers was never able to get that fully guaranteed deal in 2018 after Cousins had done it.

I brought up the Jackson thing earlier because I thought it was interesting. I don't know if he's a fox or a fool. It could bite him, and giving in could bite the Ravens if he loses his explosiveness for any reason (age, injury etc)

True Jackson goes into season trying to raise his value or set on his value and won't budge he blows knee up there goes any change he has to get what he wants

Bak was considered top LT when he signed no idea he would blow his knee up weeks later

So what do you do then I am not paying Jackson what he wants

Well you have to make a decision to pay up or be a 5-7 win team. And the fact that shared revenue ($400m to each team ) basically pays the tab the only decision is cap management

I look at it differently
#1 I am confident that numbers have been exchanged
#2 I am confident that there is a significant gap
#3 there is no urgency in June to get a deal done
#4 Both sides feel they have leverage (to a great extent that’s true)
#5 I am confident Jackson has some loss of value insurance

Translation: No deadline yet, not close
