The truth is what you said: In the end Jackson did not sign a fully guaranteed contract. That's a stone cold fact.murphysxm wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 8:09 am This is so silly. Lamar didn't get his guaranteed contract. That is what teams didn't want to give him. Nobody said they didn't want the player. They didn't want to have to give compensation and then have to give guaranteed money. Stop pretending teams said, "Nah, Lamar isn't good, we don't want him." That is not what happened.
The question yet to be answered is why no other team even bothered to extend an offer of something less than a guaranteed contract? That's the part that screams COLLUSION. People can say all they want about how no team wanted to extend a fully guaranteed contract. But there is no justifiable reason for why not one other team even made the effort to extend a contract that was appropriate in all other ways besides being fully guaranteed.
Just yesterday, the Falcons said they stand by their decision not to extend any offer whatsoever to Jackson. That's malfeasance at best, collusion at worst.
