Marcus Mariota, dude.

And I'm sitting there like, you're telling me that I can sign Lamar Jackson and I got to give up two first round picks for him?

Like, dude, pay him 60 million guaranteed every year.

He's worth that much.

Yeah.

And Arthur Blank says, well, you know, Lamar Jackson, he's going to get hurt too much for us to sign him.

So no team signs him.

No team even talks to him.

So obviously he goes back to the Ravens, doesn't get the fully guaranteed contract that Deshaun Watson got.

And that kind of put an end to it for a little bit until...

The power of journalism popped up.

Paul Latour does his investigation.

Here's about an arbitration hearing about collusion in the NFL.

And he gets his hands like on the documents that say that while Lamar Jackson was going through his free agency, basically rejection by 31 teams when he would have been an upgrade for like 28 of them, 29 of them.

Yeah.

At the time?

I would throw a number one overall rookie quarterback that I just drafted with the first overall pick out the fucking window.

Throw him away.

To get Lamar Jackson.

Right.
