In nearly 15 years as the NFL Players Association’s executive director, DeMaurice Smith hasn’t seen anything comparable to Lamar Jackson’s situation.
DeMaurice Smith hasn’t seen anything that compares to Lamar Jackson’s looming contract situation in nearly 15 years as the NFL Players Association’s executive directorpublished on the NFLPA website Thursday
Smith continued, “As such, these contracts shift control to the player, allow them to benefit the most from the arrangement, and limit the control of the owner and the team.” Kirk Cousins has helped shape discourse with his three-year, $84 million guaranteed contract in 2018, making him, at the time, the first NFL quarterback to sign that type of deal.
“The NFL Draft and the franchise tag system exist because owners have colluded in the past to both depress and restrict markets,” Smith said. “This time, they are criminally gaming the game itself.”Smith, who was elected the NFLPA’s executive director in 2009, wrote that he’s also worried about the quarterbacks nearing the end of their rookie deals, like the Bengals’ Joe Burrow, the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts and the Chargers’ Justin Herbert.
