While it appears to be a major hurdle for free-agent quarterback Lamar Jackson, a fully guaranteed deal wouldn't get in the way of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes' finding a team in the eyes of one NFL executive.
"If Patrick Mahomes were in Lamar's shoes, he would have 30 offer sheets, all guaranteed," the executive said to The Athletic's Mike Sando.
Despite being the 2019 MVP and a two-time Pro Bowler in the prime of his career, Jackson remains unsigned. He has yet to agree to an offer from another team or sign the non-exclusive franchise tender the Baltimore Ravens applied to him.
