1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We're coming off 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: the buzz of the Derrick Henry signing and first arrival 3 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: at the under Armoured Performance Center, and now we're flipping 4 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: the page. We're going to talk about what's next for 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens in free agency. Garrett's joining me as always, 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: or at least as usual, Garrett, what do you think 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: is the next step for the Ravens as they move forward? 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I think that as I look at it, 9 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: there's a few different things that the Ravens need to 10 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: do priority wise, and I think that the biggest one 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: that stands out to me is offensive line, and that's 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 2: been the area of biggest change for the Ravens since 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 2: the season ended. You know, they trade Morgan Moses to 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: the Jets. John Simpson also goes to the Jets. Kevin Zeitler, 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: as of now, a still a free agent, but it 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: seems relatively unlikely that he'll be back, so they're looking 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: for three new starters along that offensive line. They also 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: redid Ronnie Stanley's contract reportedly, so you know, the offensive 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: line rebuild was the top priority going into the off season. 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: That rebuild is underway, but it's it's kind of in 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: the demo stage, you know. It's that's where we are 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: in the process. Haven't really started putting in, uh, you know, 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: the full rebuild. At this point, you're you're deconstructing to 24 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: build a back up. And so I think that's gonna well. 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I used the analogy a couple 26 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: of weeks ago about like the kitchen demo, and like, 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: are you putting new new fronts on the cabinets or 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: are you ripping the cabinets out and starting over? This 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: was this is kind of a rip the cabinets out, 30 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: you know right now. It's like you it's that that 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: stage when you walk into the kitchen. 32 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: There's nothing there, right, what have I done? 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: Like this? This is right? What have I done? Is 34 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: a little scary, right, That's how Ravens feels, Ravens fans 35 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: feel right now. Uh. And then once they start. 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 4: Popping those puppies back in the new ones, you're like 37 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 4: these look nice, you know, and put the countertops on. 38 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 4: You're like, oh, okay, right, so but but like like 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 4: you said, I mean three new this was a demo. 40 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 4: This this is a complete gut job, and I guess 41 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 4: it could have been more, you know, if they had 42 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 4: moved on from Ronnie Stanley. 43 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: They didn't do that. They restructure that so it could 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: be could have been four spots. But this is pretty extensive. 45 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I think that basically, you know, now 46 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: you go and you can start looking at ways to 47 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: address that. I don't think that the Ravens, you know, 48 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: they don't really have a ton of money to make 49 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: a splash signing there. But I think that if they 50 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: feel like they can get a quality veteran at a 51 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 2: good price, I think they will add a veteran piece 52 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: to the offensive line. I don't know if that's a 53 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: tackle guard or somebody that can potentially do both, but 54 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: you know, an affordable veteran piece to the offensive line. 55 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: They have done this many times over the years. Sometimes 56 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: that's happened late in the process. Would not surprise me 57 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: at all if the Ravens once again did that over 58 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: the course of the next couple of weeks, added a piece, 59 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: and then they certainly will address that in the draft. 60 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: You know, I think, as we're sitting here on this 61 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: date in mid March, offensive tackle in the first. 62 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: Round is the way I'm leaning. 63 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 2: If I'm doing my mock draft today, and so I 64 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: think that, like they will certainly address the offensive line 65 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: in the draft, but I do think that they'll augment 66 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: that position through, you know, affordable veterans over the course 67 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: of the next few weeks. 68 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I expect that it's probably gonna be a veteran 69 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: interior lineman. Yeah, and somebody that could I mean, I 70 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: ideally it's somebody that can play all three spots, tackle, guard, end, center. 71 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: I expect that it's probably a guard and who could 72 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: potentially play some center. I mean, Sam Mustifer is also 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: a free agent. Just tossing that out there. I know 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: you're not making your strategy around Sam Mustifer, but that's 75 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: something to consider. You need a backup for Tyler Linderbaum, 76 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: and I think primarily some of the Ravens young or 77 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: younger guards that they already have in house are going 78 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: to compete for those starting jobs. But I do think 79 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: that you want to add a veteran who's done it before, 80 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: has starting experience under his belt, and can push those 81 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: young guys maybe be the starter week one, or at 82 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: least create a good competition, a better competition for some 83 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: of those young guards that the Ravens have drafted. I 84 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: think Ben Cleveland there's a pretty good shot at him 85 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: being the right starting right guard. Left guard is more 86 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: the bigger question part question mark for me. Right now, 87 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: you have Sala right now and Andrew Vorhees, neither of 88 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: which have played in the NFL game regular season game 89 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: at least, and so I think a veteran left guard 90 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: at some point during this offseason. I don't expect it 91 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: to be particularly soon. It could be even after the draft. 92 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: I think that they probably signed somebody to step in 93 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: and provide competition there and potentially be able to play 94 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: center as a backup. Yeah. 95 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: I think that the other the other guy who were 96 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: really not we haven't mentioned much in this whole conversation 97 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 2: is Patrick McCarey, and I think that the Ravens like 98 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: him as the sixth offensive lineman. I think that, like 99 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: all things being considered, you like him as your six 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 2: offensive lineman. You can be your backup left tack, you 101 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 2: can back up any offensive line position, and he ends. 102 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: Up playing primarily been in the left tackle. 103 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: He has primarily been that, but he can step in 104 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: at really any spot. But the possibility does exist that 105 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: if they feel like he's the best left guard. 106 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 3: He could be the left guard. 107 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: He could that possibility exists. I don't know that they 108 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: really necessarily want Patrick mcerrey starting seventeen games, but but yeah, 109 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: that that possibility exists for sure. Or even if if 110 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: they were to draft a guard, let's say in the 111 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: third round, and that guy, along with Vorhees and sala 112 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: are all kind of developing and progressing and one of 113 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: those guys takes over for McCarey at some point early 114 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: in the season, that could be a possibility. Yeah. I 115 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: just think that they need a veteran interior alignment. I 116 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: think more than they need a veteran tackle per se. 117 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: I expect, like you said, there's gonna be a tackle picked. 118 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: I'll be surprised if the Ravens didn't take a tackle 119 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: with one of their first two picks. Yeah, I'll say that. Yeah, 120 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: and they do have McCarry already, even after the trade 121 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: of Morgan Mezes, you have foul Lelee and so you 122 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: have you have three tackles right now on the roster 123 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: that have some pretty good experience. Fole, you know, was 124 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: rotating with Moses he got he got good experience last 125 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: year and well he have to improve absolutely, But you're 126 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: talking about a gargantuan man who has the raw skills 127 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: he had. He has what you want in terms of 128 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: physicality and size and all that stuff. Like he's kind 129 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: of a blank canvas to some degree at this point, 130 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: and he'll continue to develop under Joe d But the 131 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: tools are there, and so I think you feel pretty 132 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: good about where you're at. A tackle with it kind 133 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: of earmarked an early draft pick at that spot too. 134 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: It's more at guard, I think that you need a 135 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: little more experience. 136 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I mean, I agree, I think that 137 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 2: and guard generally speaking, even though some guards have gotten 138 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: big contracts, but you can generally find a guard at 139 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: a bit of a more affordable price than tackle. 140 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: The Ravens are not going to spend a lot of 141 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: money on a guard. Yeah, I think that's I mean, 142 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: they didn't deal it with if they wanted, If they 143 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: were comfortable spending a decent chunk of change at guard, 144 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: they might have brought back Kevin Zeidler. They didn't, right, right, So, like, 145 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: I just don't think that they're spending much money on 146 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: a guard. 147 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, So I think again, I don't. 148 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: As Eric Tacosta made the point, in the Derek Henry 149 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 2: Presh conference, like you know the old, the old quote 150 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: of we don't play games until September. I think this rebuilt. 151 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: I really do think it's gonna go late in the process. 152 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: Like they could end up signing somebody who gets cut 153 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: like in August, who ends up making the fifty three, 154 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: Like that. 155 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: Would not They want to give these young guys to 156 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: They want to give these young guys tons of snatch 157 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: this summer. Yeah, over OTA's and mini camp and all 158 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: that stuff in the beginning of training camp, like they 159 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: are gonna give them a very strong look. That's what 160 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: they did with Salad last year. They tried to advance 161 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: his development by throwing him in there with the first 162 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: team offense for much of the summer, and then John 163 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: Simpson ultimately won the job. Like one surprised me if 164 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: another there's another similar battle like that, And now you 165 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: have Salad en Vorhees both kind of battling and getting reps. 166 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: So I think that, uh, I agree with you. A 167 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: guard is gonna shake loose at some point and they're 168 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: probably gonna scoop in and pick them up. 169 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like we're talking, we talk about Vorhees and 170 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: I love his potential, you know, but he's coming off of, 171 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: you know, significant injury, so you want to see him 172 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: on the field. It's like you can always it's always 173 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: fun to talk about like potential, but at some point 174 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: you got to see these guys on the field. And 175 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: I think that's what this this offseason practices are going 176 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: to be for. So I think that that rebuild is 177 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: gonna is certainly, as I've said, gonna continue over the 178 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: course over the next few months. The other position, you 179 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: know that I kind of the next in line, uh 180 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: in terms of a priority in my mind, would be 181 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: pass rusher. You know, that's where there's some major questions 182 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: because the Ravens. Two of the Ravens not pass rushers 183 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: from last year, Jideveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noi are 184 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: sitting out there on the open market. Clowney has reportedly 185 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 2: taken a visit to Carolina, has a visit with the 186 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: Jets scheduled for this upcoming week, and there's been nothing 187 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: thing on the report front on Kyle van Noy to 188 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: this point. 189 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: You know. 190 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: So I know we talked about, you know, Clowning has 191 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: sat out there for months in past years, but there's 192 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: more momentum on his front at this at this point 193 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: of the off season that it seems like he may 194 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: go quicker than he has in past seasons. 195 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: Right, I agree with that. I mean, in past seasons 196 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: he's just sat out there. Now, you know, the year 197 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: prior to signing with the Ravens last offseason, he did 198 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: not have a great year. That was a down year 199 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: for him. So I think that certainly impacted his market. 200 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: And now he's coming off of you know, nine and 201 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: a half sax season, there's more interest and so yeah, 202 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: it seems like he's not in a rush. He's taking 203 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: those visits. He's kind of lapping it up. That's what 204 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: I would do. I mean if I was a free agent, right, 205 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm getting the red carpet treatment. I'm at 206 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: least getting a couple of steak dinners out. 207 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: We know you're looking for the steak dinner out of 208 00:09:59,280 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 3: the whole deal. 209 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: You know, I might need to check out thirty one 210 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: other teams just to make sure. I know. Now thirty 211 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: one other teams might not want to, but I'll try 212 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: to schedule a visit anyway. I'll send a meeting invite. 213 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: I'll be like you guys wanna you wanna meet? But yeah, 214 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: I mean so, I don't think that he's he's exploring 215 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: his options. I think that he and the Ravens know 216 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: that a reunion both sides would probably like a reunion. 217 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: You know. Jadeveon Clowney's agent told John Harball at the 218 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: combine just in passing that hey, yeah, you finished the 219 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: season happy for the first time, right, And Jadeveon in 220 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: locker on locker clean out day was pretty clear that, hey, yeah, 221 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: I would like to return to the Ravens if you know, 222 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: all things are equal, right, And uh, but he's gonna 223 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: weigh his options. And and this is a guy that 224 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: we've seen. He wants to get paid for his services, understandbly, 225 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: so all players do. And and he has not been 226 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: shy about switching teams. He's done it a lot of 227 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: his career. That's not something that concerns him at all. 228 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: Going somewhere new, and so I think that he's gonna 229 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: see what's out there, probably stay in touch with the Ravens. Say, 230 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, he and his agent or whatever are gonna 231 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: say this is what they're offering whatever. Ultimately, you know, 232 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: do you want to match it? This is what we're here, 233 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: and this is what we're getting out there, and the 234 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna have to make the decision whether they 235 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: want to step up to the plate financially or you know, 236 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: either equal or close to it or whatnot, or beat 237 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: the other offer or whatnot, you know. And so ultimately, 238 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: I think for Genevion, he'd like to be back in Baltimore, 239 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: but it's gonna come down down to dollars and sets. 240 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: The other thing too that I think is you know, 241 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: worth noting, is like the Ravens will set a price 242 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: that they think that they should pay for Clowney, and 243 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: they'll stick to that price. And I go back to it, 244 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: like a year ago at this time, we spent a 245 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: lot of time talking about Justin Houston, and Justin Houston 246 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 2: was coming off a really big season. It was like 247 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: kind of a similar conversation. He's had a big season, 248 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: you know, he's continuing his career. 249 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: Would he like to stay in Baltimore, of course, but 250 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: you know, we'll see where this goes. 251 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: And the Ravens ultimately decided to let him walk and 252 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: they went in a different direction and they stick to 253 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: a price. And so like I think that they're basically 254 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: going to look at it, have kind of their view 255 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: of both of these players, of Clowney and van Noy. 256 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: If they feel like the price doesn't match what they 257 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: want to if the player's price doesn't match where they 258 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,239 Speaker 2: want to pay, they'll say, okay, you know, best. 259 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: Of luck, and then they'll they'll move on. But if 260 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: they feel like, yeah. 261 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: What could be happening is that the Panthers and Jets 262 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: could maybe have a better offer than the Ravens on 263 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: the table, and Jadeveon's saying, well, let me go check 264 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: it out and see if it's worth taking an extra whatever, 265 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, mill season, whatever. We don't know, right is it? 266 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Let me go there and see do I really like 267 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: it here? Is it worth leaving Baltimore for a little 268 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: bit more money for this place? You know what I 269 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: mean that that could be the scenario that's playing out. 270 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: I don't think that he would probably be taking these 271 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: visits if they're offering less than the Ravens. We don't 272 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: even know if the Ravens have an offer on the table, 273 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: they might just be saying, stay in touch and we'll 274 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: give you our final number once you come back with yours. 275 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: We don't know, but I'm just saying, like, there's a 276 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: reason why he's visiting these places. His agent could call 277 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: any of them. There's a reason why he's going there. 278 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: It's probably because they have a decent offer on the 279 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: table and he's at least somewhat interested. 280 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the other factor too, is, you know, if 281 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: he got an offer from Carolina that was was so sweet, 282 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: he wouldn't be going to the Jets, you know, like 283 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: if he got such a great offer, or. 284 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: He would have left town. 285 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, if they blew him out of the water, he 286 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: would have just signed it on the spot, you know. 287 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: Or he went there and he was like yeah, you know, 288 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he just wasn't feeling 289 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: it as much, Yeah, and wanted to keep exploring his options. 290 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: Like we said at the start of this conversation, I 291 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: don't think the guy's in a major rush to sign anywhere. 292 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna take his time. 293 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: I think he is. 294 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: But I think that like in my mind, that time 295 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: was like, oh, closer to you know, Manicamp training camp. 296 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 3: I think that, yeah, timeline might be shifted up a bit. 297 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think that it seems like 298 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Clowny might be done within the next week. Yeah, clown 299 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: might be by the time that you're all listening to this, 300 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: hopefully not well, So this conversation isn't mooting, but like 301 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: that could happen. It feels like in the next week 302 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: or two. If you're taking visits, it's closest. 303 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, And so if the Ravens ultimately decide not to 304 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: resign Clowney or van Ney, they're gonna I think they 305 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: still will look out there at the veteran market. I 306 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: don't think that people were saying, you know, again, at 307 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: this point a year ago, you need to get Kyle 308 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: van Ney in order to save your pass rush, and 309 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: the Ravens went out and got him and he had 310 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: a great season. So if those guys leave, I have 311 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: confidence in the front office's ability to find, you know, 312 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 2: a quality veteran pass rushers. 313 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: But it is not easy. 314 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: I'm not going to sit here and act like, yeah, 315 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 2: there's just ten sac guys sitting out there on the street, 316 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: you know, Like those guys aren't typically available, and what 317 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: they got out of Clowning and van Noy last year 318 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: is generally speaking, the exception to the rule. And so 319 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: I think that like the Ravens will have to weigh 320 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: all those things, and looking at this pass rush, I 321 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: also think the other pass rush piece, the biggest pass 322 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: rus piech they already answered by getting the Justin Mattabik 323 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: deal done. And also David Jabos working his way back 324 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 2: from last year's injury. And I know that you know, 325 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: it's it's a question mark of how much he can 326 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: count on him given the injuries he's had his first 327 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 2: two seasons, but the Ravens still have high hopes for him. 328 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: And I also think that Adafeoway will take another step 329 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: this year. 330 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Tavius Robinson, I wouldn't want to leave him out. 331 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: I think that he's a piece of that puzzle as well. 332 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just sitting here looking at who are 333 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: the free agent pass rushers still available? And the list 334 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: is getting picked a little bit. You know, we have 335 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, Jerome Baker, Bud dupre former Steeler. Hey, maybe 336 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: that's the key, right they keep Steelers, keeps signing our guys. 337 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: Maybe take one of their former guys. Yeah, you know, 338 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: Anthony Barr is another name on this list, Bruce Irvin. 339 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: So it's getting picked a little bit, and now more 340 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: players could come available after the draft and players are 341 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: released or whatnot. There's always the possible you could always 342 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: make a trade if the Ravens really felt like they 343 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: had to. So there's other ways to address that position. 344 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: I think both of us are in agreement that they're 345 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: going to add another outside linebacker. And just because even 346 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: if Clowney were to sign somewhere else, that doesn't mean 347 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: the Ravens don't sign van Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I mean 348 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: that's not a package deal right now. We're talking to 349 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: some individual people. 350 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about it like as a package deal, 351 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: but definitely not individual guys. So, and I do think that, like, 352 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: based on the salary cap situation and the fact that 353 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: both these guys are coming off big seasons and are 354 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: going to want to get a pay increase from what 355 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: they had last year, I think it's probably in either 356 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: or proposition. I don't think both are going to be back. 357 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: I don't know that you're going to be able to 358 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: afford both those guys coming back. 359 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: I totally agree. Yeah, yeah, I think it's in either 360 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: or situation. Either or Crowne probably is going to end 361 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: up with a bigger deal than van Ney. 362 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, he had, he had nine and a half sacks 363 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: last year, and he was the former number one overall pick, 364 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: and all that stuff plays into it exactly, all right. 365 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: So we'll take a quick break and when we come back, 366 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: we'll dive into some of the other positions of the 367 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: Ravens could look to address in free agency.

So the other as 380 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: we kind of look at the other areas of need, 381 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: I would say that the next one kind of on 382 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 2: my list would be receiver, you know, and you can 383 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: look at basically it's the passing game on either side 384 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 2: of the ball. It's basically the secondary or the receiver spot. 385 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: I would probably look at receiver. The Ravens reportedly released 386 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 2: Odell Beckham Junior, which you know that was expected barring 387 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: an extension. Now we'll see if he ends up making 388 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: his way back to Baltimore you know, later in the process. 389 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 2: But as of now, the Ravens are going into next 390 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: season with Zay Flowers for Shan Bateman, Nelson Aguilar and 391 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: then the tight ends. 392 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: And that's a. 393 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 3: Good that's a good core. 394 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: But I think that you probably still want to add 395 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: another piece to that equation, whether it's free agency or 396 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 2: the draft. 397 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna sign another free agent wide receiver. 398 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: I am leaning draft rather than free agency. I think 399 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: that the draft may be the more likely scenario there. 400 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: I agree. I think that maybe down the line there's another, 401 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, more inexpensive veteran wide receiver that they add 402 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: to this roster. But yeah, I don't see a big move, 403 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: certainly a wide receiver. It doesn't come cheap. Some of 404 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: these guys that are still on the market are going 405 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: to command six seven mili plus, right. I Mean the 406 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: difficult thing is you just don't want to the Ravens. 407 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: I think we're in a good position last year at 408 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: wide receiver with their depth. You don't want to go 409 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: backwards there. You don't want to get in a position 410 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: and you're really kind of betting on Rashaw Bateman. And 411 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: it's like, I think the Ravens feel comfortable with that bet. 412 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: You know, last year they signed Odell Beckham to basically 413 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: hedge that bet to a degree, right, And so it's like, 414 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: do you do you feel? 415 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: And Bateman was more of a question last year than 416 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: he is this. 417 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: Year, correct exactly, And so I think that they're betting 418 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: on him, and I think that they're going to draft 419 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: a wide receiver in the first two days to kind 420 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: of again add some more competition to that spot and 421 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: just become a one of the top four wide receivers. 422 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: That's what I expect, because you go out there and 423 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: you look at some of these names like Odell Beckham, 424 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: if they were to bring him back, you know that's 425 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: not gonna be It's gonna be cheaper than last year, probably, 426 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be cheap you know, even Yeah, 427 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: marcuez Valdez scantling out there. I mean, DJ Chark, it 428 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: feels like he's you know, been available. How many years 429 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: now he has he been on the free agent market? 430 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: You know, Tyler Boyd, Hunter Renfro just was released recently 431 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: by the Raiders. Josh Reynolds is another name out there. 432 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's gonna be somebody available later 433 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: in the summer that maybe shakes loose from some team 434 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: that if you felt like you were in a pinch, 435 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: or if there are injury concerns, if Bateman's having whatever 436 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: trouble's staying healthy over the summer, then like, okay, you 437 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: could go get somebody. But I don't think there's a 438 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: wide receiver coming to Baltimore anytime in the next before 439 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: anytime before the draft. Let's say that. 440 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 2: M hm, yeah, I would I would tend to agree 441 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: with that. You know, I know that whenever a big 442 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: name wide receiver gets traded, you know, Keenan Allen gets traded, 443 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 2: you know, at the end of last week and he 444 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: goes for a fourth round pick, and everybody naturally says, like, 445 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 2: why did you not go get Keenan Allen? And that's 446 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: a natural thing to think, this guy's been a great 447 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: player throughout his career. Well, the reason it's not the 448 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: draft compensation. That's a small piece of it. But of 449 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 2: course in a Vacuuman Allen's worth a fourth round pick. 450 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: But he comes to the twenty three million dollar cap 451 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: hit for this year, right, so exactly, you would you 452 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: know a way there's you can't fit that under the cap, 453 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: and so you really would be looking at a new contract, 454 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: and so that's just not feasible. And so you know, 455 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 2: Eric Cossa was asked about the report that the Ravens 456 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 2: could be interested in Deebo. Samuel also comes with a 457 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: huge contract, and he squashed that clearly, uh, during the 458 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: press conference for the Derek Henry, the Derek Henry contract signing. 459 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: That's not fact. And so I just don't I don't 460 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 3: know that. 461 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: Like it's always fun to talk about wide receivers and 462 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 2: big name wide receivers Deebo Samuel, Keenan Allen, like those 463 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: types of players, but the Ravens aren't in that market 464 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: this year. I think they feel good about Zai, They 465 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 2: feel really good about Zay Flowers from Versade Bateman, Nelson 466 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: Aguilor and then a really good tight end combo with 467 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: Likely and Andrews, like the way Likely came on last 468 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: year that won two points at tight end is you know, 469 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: maybe the best in the league. And so I think 470 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 2: the Ravens feel great about like the weapons that they 471 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 2: have there. They've invested in the run game, obviously with 472 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 2: Derrick Henry. So I think they look draft as the 473 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: avenue there. 474 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would completely agree. And one thing, uh, you know, 475 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: we'll get into a lot of draft talk, but I 476 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be interesting to see what kind of 477 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: draft wide receiver they're looking for. You know, you're looking 478 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: for the big bodied X that can go down the 479 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: field and make plays, be a good blocker on the edge, 480 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: or you're looking for speed, you know, uh, kind of 481 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: all three levels of field open it up with vertical 482 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: speed and and horizontal speed kind of more in the 483 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: Zay Flowers mold. You know, I think it's interesting to see. 484 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: Gonna be interesting to see what kind of wide receiver 485 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: they fancy. 486 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: I think it might be a bigger guy like they've 487 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 2: they've tended over the past few years to favor speed, 488 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: you know, Hollywood obviously speed, say Flowers, certainly speed Bateman 489 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: is kind of both. You know, he's not he's not 490 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: like a massive guy, but he's also not a small 491 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: just a speed guy. He's kind of right there in 492 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: the middle. And so I think that, like I think 493 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: that they might if you have if you could pick, 494 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: which you know you can't necessarily pick, but I think 495 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: if you could pick, I think that they would maybe 496 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: prefer the bigger guy to add that to the mix. 497 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm just going to throw this out there because I've 498 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: been watching some Derrick Henry Tate today and to kind 499 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: of put together a Raven's I view. So if you're listening, 500 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: go check out that story where I highlights some of 501 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: what Derek Henry is going to bring to Baltimore. And Uh, 502 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: one thing that I think he's so dangerous on the perimeter. 503 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: You know, it's those outside runs where he can get 504 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: to the edge and really cause some problems for defenses, 505 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: and you need good perimeter blocking to help with that, 506 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: and that is one area. Zay Flowers is a small dude. 507 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: I think that the effort is there, but he's a 508 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: small dude. Bateman, you know, like the Ravens current wide 509 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: receiver CORPS is not necessarily known for its blocking. There's 510 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: not a big dude out there, and uh, you know, 511 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: I think that Isaiah likely is improved as a blocker. 512 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: I think that Mark Andrews is pretty good blocker. But 513 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: I do think that's part of when you're talking about 514 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: giving King Henry the different ingredients for success. And of 515 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: course he's on a two year deal. You're not building 516 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: your whole team around him. But like, if he's gonna 517 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: have success, I think that you need some pretty good 518 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: perimeter blockers. Yeah, totally. 519 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: I mean I think you do. 520 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: Again, I think that it just would be nice to 521 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 2: have a little bit of size in that receiving corps mix. Now, 522 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you're basing it on 523 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: like what you're what's all available? Like you want you 524 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: want all the attributes for every position all the time. 525 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 3: But it's not necessarily that simple. 526 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: So if the Ravens are making a draft pick, they're 527 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: gonna be They're not gonna force, you know, a square 528 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 2: peg into a round hole. If they feel like this 529 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 2: is the best guy and he's a smaller guy and 530 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: he's got great speed, they're not gonna say, well, we 531 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: don't want him because we want a big receiver or 532 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 2: vice versa. Like you're looking at the whole package there, 533 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: but I think that like if you could draw it up, yeah, 534 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: I think that they would be nice to add a 535 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 2: little bit more size to this receiving corps. 536 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: Or it's if you're signing a veteran wide receiver at 537 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: some point this summer. That's the kind of piece. You know, 538 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: after you see what you get in the draft, that 539 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: guy is really a top four wide receiver in your 540 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: offense most likely, then you you kind of for that 541 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: sixth wide receiver who is really kind of competing for 542 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: a roster spot. That guy should be able to play 543 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: special teams one and maybe you know, you get somebody 544 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: that you can plug in there as a good blocker, 545 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: as a change, you know, he gets made or ten 546 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: offensive snaps whatever. Yeah, right, like that that's part of it. 547 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the case. 548 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: I'm just not like, you know, if you're looking at 549 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: I just don't hold I just don't know what kind 550 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 2: of impact the six wide receiver is gonna have. 551 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: On the offense. 552 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: No, it's mostly a special team. Yeah, it's especially it's 553 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: a specialty and. 554 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: The other thing too. Just quickly, I mean the Ravens, 555 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 2: you know, not they need to. Beckham is no longer 556 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: in this offense. Now maybe that changes, but Devin Duvernet, 557 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: who had a very small offensive role but did have 558 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 2: a offensive role, is no longer a piece of the offense. 559 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: I think Tyland Wallace basically steps into that. 560 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 2: But like, so there are snaps to replace, and I 561 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 2: think most of that goes to Bateman, but I still 562 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: like there there are snaps that need to be replaced 563 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: with both of those guys no longer in the offense. 564 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, so I oh, I mean Odell Beckham was 565 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: the second team, second leading receiver. 566 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's I think it's like I do think that, 567 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: Like it's it is. I guess maybe more of a 568 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 2: need than we're just than we're thinking. Into some degree, 569 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: It's like, yes, I think Bateman is going to step 570 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: in there, but like they're losing a lot of production 571 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: and snaps, you know, between those two guys, particularly Beckham. 572 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, totally agree. Uh, all right, last position we 573 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about here is the secondary. I think 574 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: it's corner end safety. Obviously, with the departure of Genostone 575 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: and Ronald Darby, the Ravens have two holes to fill 576 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: and this is one where you know, if the Ravens 577 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: are going to clear a little money and make a signing, 578 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: I think corner makes a little might make the most 579 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: sense to me. Outside, I would say outside linebacker Clowney. 580 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: You know, spending on Clowney probably is the top item 581 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: that I would say is remaining. But if they were, 582 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: if they don't get Clowney and there's not another outside 583 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: linebacker that they pivot to and spend comparable money on, 584 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: then I think they could do it at cornerback. There 585 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: there are still some interesting names out there. I mean 586 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: Xavian Howard was released by the Miami Dolphins. Now that's 587 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,239 Speaker 1: an outside corner, right, I mean you really have your 588 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: outside corners in Marlin and Brandon Stevens. So, but there's 589 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: been reported interests between the Ravens and Xavi and Howard 590 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: down the road. Now he's thirty years old. Now you 591 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: know you're taking a shot on a guy later in 592 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: his career. But that's an interesting name to me. You know, 593 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: you have J. C. Jackson, who who has struggled. He 594 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 1: was once at once one of the top corners, got 595 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: a huge contract, hasn't been quite a strong in recent year. 596 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour, another veteran who's been around, very accomplished, but 597 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, the question remains how much more does he 598 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: have left? Had a good season in Dallas last year. 599 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: You know, there are some corners out there that I 600 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: think are kind of interesting if the Ravens want to 601 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: go that route, Yeah, I guess I could see that. 602 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 2: I think that, as we've said in the past, I 603 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: think Ronald Darby, like you know, that's maybe more loss 604 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: than people realize. Like he was just provide a really 605 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 2: good depth to this team when they needed it. So 606 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: I lean more outside linebacker offensive line honestly, Like I think. 607 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: If your need is definitely bigger there, I. 608 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,719 Speaker 2: Just think if you're spending I think that they're going 609 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 2: to spend outside linebacker. Offensive line one A, one B, 610 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: and corner and wide receiver are kind of distant down 611 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 2: that line. Like you know, corner corner dB is a 612 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: fourth position that we're talking about on this podcast, and 613 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: I think if the front office is looking at their 614 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: priority list, I think that they may have it in 615 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 2: that same way. Like, I don't know that I see 616 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: them spending a significant money. It's not there's not basically 617 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: significant money left to spend but I just don't know 618 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 2: if I see them like shelling out a decent of 619 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 2: change on. 620 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: Going after somebody like a Xavian hol Yeah. 621 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: I don't know if I see that. I'm not sure. 622 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: If I see that they have their two starting corners, 623 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 2: and Marlon Humphrey they expect him to have a better 624 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 2: season being healthy, and then of course Brandon Stevens who 625 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: had a breakout season last year. So like they have 626 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: their two starters, you're looking at basically depth there, and 627 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: so it's an important position, you know, maybe among the 628 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: most important positions, especially on the defense, so you don't 629 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: want to be light there. But I don't know that 630 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 2: I see that being if as you're thinking about the 631 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 2: final dollars to spend under the salary cap, I don't 632 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: know that defensive back is where the Raves will ultimately 633 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: spend it. 634 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're probably gonna have to sign a 635 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: veteran safety, and that that player could be in the 636 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: three million average per year range. 637 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: Why do you say, because they brought back Ardarius Washington, 638 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 2: why do they need a veteran safety. 639 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: Well, Ardarius Washington might be part of the slot corner equation. 640 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he did a lot of that last summer. Yeah, 641 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: he can. He can play safety too. He's a defensive back. 642 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: He can kind of do both. But you know, are 643 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: you I don't know that they're going to go into 644 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: the season with their top three safeties, uh, you know, 645 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: being Kyle Hamilton, Marcus Williams, and Ardarius Washington. 646 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. 647 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: I think I think that they're gonna want some kind 648 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: of veteran back there. Who because I mean, honestly, Gino 649 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: Stone played a lot of snaps, a lot of snaps 650 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: that and Ardarius might take some of those corner snaps 651 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: because you're Arthur Mallett's also a free agent, right, So 652 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: Ardarius could take a lot of Arthur Mallett snaps and 653 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: you still have Geno to replace. Yeah, so they they 654 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: might end up. You know, I think the draft is 655 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: a very very likely cornerback destination for the Ravens. They're 656 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: very much in that draft market. I think they're probably 657 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: more you know, I'm kind of contradicting myself now, which 658 00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: is not atypical for me. 659 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: Right, but standard standard operating right exactly, Gotta stay tuwed 660 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 2: to myself. 661 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: Safety is more where I think than corner Like the 662 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: safety draft class is not great. Corner is. I think 663 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: they're going to probably sign a veteran safety more likely 664 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: than than corner. 665 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: Well, you could potentially get a veteran safety like last year, 666 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: and this is more of a special teams move. 667 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: Well, the market is deep in the market. Free agent 668 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: market is deep at safety. You have a lot of 669 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: former starters. 670 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, they signed DeAndre Houston Carson out as he was 671 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 2: a special teamer. Okay, but then he ended up going 672 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: to Houston and he ended up starting five games for 673 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 2: them as safety last year. 674 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like started the playoff. 675 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, that's not a guy that's like 676 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 2: at the I don't know if it's him, but like 677 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: a player in that realm who like could be your 678 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: third safety and step in there. For many years, it 679 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: was Anthony Devine for the Ravens, like he was that 680 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: that extra safety, and so like they could get a 681 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 2: guy who's like a special team's ace who could play 682 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 2: defense if needed. I think that there could be somebody 683 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: in that realm and that type of player is not 684 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 2: gonna come aty huge cost. 685 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: That type of player is not That's correct. I think 686 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: if you're fine, if you're going to sign like a 687 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: former starter to play a fair amount of reps and 688 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: and be a backup for Marcus Williams. Then I think 689 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: that costs will cost several mill average per year. You know, 690 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: if you're talking about a Cadre Diggs, if you're talking 691 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: about a you know, a Micah Hyde, Marcus May. I mean, 692 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: those guys aren't gonna come like super cheap. 693 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a step, a big step up. 694 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: From a price standpoint, right right exactly. I mean they're 695 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: not going to spend Justin Simmons money, and maybe not 696 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: even Digs or Mica Hyde money. That might be out 697 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: of their price range. But I'm just saying I think 698 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: it's I don't think that. I think it's a mid 699 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: mid tier of what's left is probably where they're shopping 700 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: in the safety market. That's my gut. 701 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, as always, you can email us at the 702 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net.
