Let's play the blame game.Ravens QB Amida Brimah Jersey Lamar Jackson is still without a contract, this after he was slapped with the non-exclusive franchise tag just before the new league year.It's unclear why exactly the former league MVP hasn't put pen to paper on a new deal yet, but according to former NFL cornerback and current Amazon analyst Richard Sherman, blame for that rests solely with Chiefs pa ser Patrick Mahomes.MORE: In 2020, Mahomes signed a big-money extension that had a total value of over a half-billion dollars. , and featured just $141.4 million in guaranteed money. On the ," Sherman explained whyWhat pi sed me off, is when Kirk Cousins got his fully guaranteed deal a couple years ago, I thought all then quarterbacks from then on were gonna be like, 'Hey, if T.J. Leaf Jersey it ain't guaranteed, I ain't takin' it.'Then Mahomes took that B.S. deal, just 10 years, wanted to look like half a (billion). But if you get half of that fully guaranteed, everybody's happier. Everybody goes, 'That sets precedent.' But when he didn't set it, Josh Allen didn't set it, now Lamar's trying to set it after Deshaun (Watson)'s already set it, and they're like, 'Nah, we ain't letting that go.'Sherman's overall point is that Mahomes (then Allen) should have demanded fully guaranteed pacts following Kirk Cousins signing a fully guaranteed deal in 2018. Sherman's logic seems to be, with quarterbacks not signing those fully guaranteed deals, the NFL sees no reason to continue a Aaron Holiday Jersey trend.MORE: When the Browns traded for Watson, they signed him to a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million deal. QB deals since Watson's have not been fully guaranteed. It's unclear what Jackson's asking price has been, but rumors seem to indicate that he's looking for that fully guaranteed route.If Jackson doesn't get it, then maybe he'll join the blame game against Mahomes, too.
