There’s a conclusion we can all draw simply from the calendar—if a Lamar Jackson offer sheet was out there to be signed predraft, it’d have been negotiated and signed by now. Teams have too much tied up into their quarterback plans, and there’s too much invested in the position across the league, for anyone to arbitrarily wait until April.
But after the draft? Things could change.
We mentioned in this week’s mailbag the possibility that there’s a team or teams lurking with high-first-round picks that may not love this year’s class of draft-eligible quarterbacks, that may not want to give up a high-first-rounder to get Jackson, that could see a far more enticing window to try and poach Jackson postdraft.
