1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We are going 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: live today, Garrett, for the start of free agency. Officially 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: it's four o'clock. Check the clock, it's four o'clock, says 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: four o'clock. Right, all right, we got our phones out 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: and we get the buzz. It's like Ian rapport Adam Schefter, 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: if we have to give you the yeah exactly, he's 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: well to do one of those. But we're live, So 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: here we go. Let's start out, Garrett with the most 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: recent news. What's going on today for the Ravens. Why 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: don't you start off kind of recapping what's going now. Well, 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: the latest from Adam Schefter is about Justice Hill. The 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: Ravens reportedly offered a two year contract to him, up 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: to about five million dollars for him, and so that 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: is one move that the Ravens have reportedly made. Also, 15 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to Tyler Huntley, the Ravens have reportedly 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: offered him a restrictive free agent tender, tendered him at 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: the original round value to keep him in Baltimore. Nowth 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: he's a restrictive free agent. So you know the quarterback situation, 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: there's certainly uncertainty. They're both with the starting quarterback Lamar 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Other teams a similar deal to Lamar, 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: and that a similar situation. You can get a tender 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: from another team, he can go out and talk to 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: other teams. If they offer him, the Ravens have the 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to match. If they did not match that offer, 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: then the Ravens would not get anything in return on 26 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: like the situation with him. One. Yeah, And obviously now 27 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: at it's four o'clock, you know, in terms of Lamar, 28 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens have put the franchise tag on him. But 29 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: now that it's four o'clock, he does have the ability 30 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: to talk with other teams. That wasn't able to take 31 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: place until now. So at this point, now it's four o'clock, 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: other teams could reach out and try to negotiate with him. 33 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: The Ravens of course, still have the right of first refusal. 34 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: If another team were to make an offer sheet to him, 35 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: the Ravens have the ability to match that and keep 36 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: him here in Baltimore. So you know, but that was 37 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: basically the thing that people were waiting on. Is now 38 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: at its four o'clock, so we'll see where that goes. 39 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: And if there's any news that happens on that front. 40 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: We got. We're basically in our command center here, Yeah, 41 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: we got. I should have bought in another phone, you know, 42 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: just have phones everywhere phones old school, yeah, old school 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: in lines and just have all that pulled up to 44 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: make it look like even more of the war room 45 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: in here. But yeah, there could be news. It takes 46 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: place as we're alive here, and we'll see how old 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: that place. We're on Twitter, just like everybody else, monitoring 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: what's going down. The other thing that you didn't mention 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: was restricted free agent tenders, and there was one reportedly 50 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: not offered to Gino Stone the safety. Now he could 51 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: still return to Baltimore. That makes him a free agent 52 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: now an unrestricted free agent. I think there's certainly a 53 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: possibility that there could still those two sides could come together. 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: But as of right now, that's what the report is, 55 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: that Genostone is no longer restricted free agent. He's unrestricted now. 56 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: Rum so that's the news. Of course, a lot of 57 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: things that have been reported over the past couple of 58 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: days right now become official at four o'clock right So, 59 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: Ben Powers was agreed to a four year deal with 60 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos reportedly that's at fifty two million dollars. 61 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: It's an average thirteen million dollars per year. That puts 62 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: him number ten in average salaries for guards in the NFL. 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: So congrats to Ben. It's a great deal for him. 64 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: Josh Oliver three year, twenty one million dollars deal with 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings an average just seven million per year. Again, 66 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: a guy who really had a breakout season in twenty 67 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: twenty two gets a pay day, and you kind of 68 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: just tip the cap, your cap to those guys. I mean, 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: with Ben Powers, I think it was understood that he 70 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: was probably gonna price himself out of Baltimore, had priced 71 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: himself out of Baltimore, was gonna land elsewhere. Yeah, Ben, listeners, 72 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: if you listen to the episode that he was on 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the podcast, like that was one of my favorite episodes. 74 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: His mentality, I thought came across and he was pretty 75 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: like honest about that. Basically. You know, going into last year, 76 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: there was a feeling like is this guy gonna be 77 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: on a team, And then Okay, he's gonna be on 78 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: the team, but he's gonna be a starter and ends 79 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: up being a starter playing every game and now gets 80 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: a really nice paid day with the Denver Broncos as 81 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: one of the higher paid guards in the game. So 82 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: you really feel for good for him. But he basically said, 83 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: like when he joined us, yeah, I knew what this 84 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: year was, Like I knew this was a contract year, 85 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: and this was an opportunity to go get paid and 86 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: change my life and my family's life in a huge way. 87 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: And so for him to be able to do that, 88 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: certainly with Ben, like one of the things that always 89 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: stands out, and he also talked about this in the interview, 90 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: is the connection you have with no gap. And I 91 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: think that you know, that was a moment that was 92 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: really special for the Ravens organization, special for Ben personally. 93 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: And so he's a guy that like it's difficult to 94 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: see talented players leave, but you also feel good for 95 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: him in order, you know, and that he set up 96 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: he got a huge deal, So I don't really falt him. 97 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: The other big news at four o'clock the reported trade 98 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: of Chuck Clark to the New York Jets, reportedly for 99 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: a seventh round pick in twenty twenty four that can 100 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: now become official New League years began. I don't see 101 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: a tweet yet or any confirmation from the Jets on 102 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: that they might be waiting for a signing or knows 103 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: what it is. They've got a lot going on. I 104 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard the Jets got a lot 105 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: of news today. Yeah, care of Pat McAfee show. Yep. 106 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm and Aaron Rodgers. So you know, we'll see on that. 107 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: But now that it's four o'clock, that trade can be processed. 108 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: That reported trade, yep. I do want to back up 109 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: a little bit and just talk about the reported deal 110 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: for Justice Hill to your deal and what that means. 111 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: What's kind of your takeaway on that. Well, Look, I 112 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: mean the Ravens are a team that they clearly value 113 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: running the football, and I don't think that's going to change. 114 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: Obviously there's a new offensive coordinator with Todd Munkin, but 115 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: I think that this team is still going to be 116 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't completely move away from the ground game. 117 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: So I think that that's a piece of it with Justice, 118 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, like it's not like I expected him to 119 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: go out there and get a huge deal. The Ravens 120 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: want to have a good staple of running backs. There's 121 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: also reports, as over the past few days as they've 122 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: been clearing cap space that they've cleared some, they restructure 123 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: the contract of Gus Edwards in order to clear some 124 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: cap space. So this basically in order to kind of 125 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: keep them here, to keep a potential salary cap casually 126 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: restructed a deal. He's gonna stay in Baltimore, which is 127 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: awesome these Yeah, So basically you go into next year 128 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: and you feel like, Okay, JK Dobbins is going to 129 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: be there, right, and I think JK is going to 130 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: have a big season, a really big season. Gus Edwards 131 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: is going to be in Baltimore. I think he's gonna 132 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: have a really strong season, and Justice Hill is going 133 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: to be here. So I think that, like you keep 134 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: your running back group intact. I know there's been like 135 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: a buzz or speculation. Could the Ravens take a first 136 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: round running back? Could they take be Jean Robinson? Like, 137 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know that that resigning Justice Hill affects 138 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: the draft strategy too much, but I don't think in 139 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: totality you keep Gus. Also you have running back trio 140 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: that would I think it makes it more surprising, It 141 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: would make it even more surprising. We would already be 142 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: surprised if the Ravens draft Bejan Robinson. I think in 143 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: the first round, retaining Gus Edwards and keeping Justice Hill 144 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: would make it. Now, it would make it even more 145 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: surprising to me if that were to happen. Yeah, I 146 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: don't think mel Kiper's not losing sleep. Yeah, Yeah, he's 147 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: rest a little easy year now that Justice Hill and 148 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards are still in Baltimore. So, I mean, I 149 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: think with Justice special teams is a big factor there, 150 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: you know. I mean he's kind of established himself as 151 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: a very strong special teams player. He came off the 152 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: Achilles and honestly, I remember watching him in practice. What 153 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: was it mini Camp? I think it was mini campt 154 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: even OTAs when he was back on the field from 155 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: the Achilles, and I was like, man, Justice Hill is 156 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: moving well, right, he's running well. It looked very explosive. 157 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: That carried on through the season. I mean, not that 158 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: he had huge numbers as a running back offensively, but 159 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: he put up career highs in rushing yards. He put 160 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: up career highs in receptions and yards per carry. I mean, 161 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: he was an effective running back and I think he 162 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: offensively adds a different dynamic to the running back corep 163 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: you know. I mean he's more of that third down 164 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: kind of spat scat back kind of speed, you know, 165 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: can get to the perimeter. Todd Munkins talked about wanting 166 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: to have more space players, you know, to kind of 167 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: open things up a little bit more. I think Justice 168 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Hill helps them to do that. One thing that Ozzie 169 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: would always say is like, you want to go into 170 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: the draft and not have like all these holes that 171 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: you gotta plug for sure. And I think that basically 172 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: keeping the running back group in tact allows them to 173 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, going into the draft, you feel really 174 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: really good about where you're running your running back group is, 175 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: and you know the terms of the deal are are 176 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's not like the Ravens reportedly broke the 177 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: bank for this kind of deal. I think it's a good, 178 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: right price, right player, you know. And I think in 179 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: Tom Lunkin's offense, like I said, I think he can 180 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: have a bigger role moving forward and get a few 181 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: more touches offensively while still maintaining his status as a good, 182 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: strong special teams player. I mean he's a good gunner. Yeah, 183 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: he is, the other thing too, that I just mentioned here. 184 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: We are going to try to get to some of 185 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: fan questions over the course of this episode. So we 186 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: see some of the comments that have come in on 187 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: YouTube on Facebook, so keep those questions coming. We do 188 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: want to answer those questions. Also, as always, you can 189 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: email us at the Lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. 190 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: You don't need to send in the email right now, 191 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: you can just comment. You know, we're live. Typically we're 192 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: not live. It's okay, this is not your t and 193 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: this that's what I'm gonna do alright, So over the 194 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: course of the year, I can't. I'm holding it upside 195 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: down for a reason. Over the course of the year, 196 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: we've been every player who has come on the Lounge 197 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: has signed this helmet, and we've been telling everybody that 198 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: at some point we're going to to auction off off. 199 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna raffle off this helmet. So in 200 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: here are all the names of player of the people 201 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: who have emailed us this season, and one of the 202 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: names it's almost spilling out of here. Tens of thousands 203 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: and millions of names are in here. It's so heavy 204 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: I can barely lift it up. No there's a bunch 205 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: of names in there, and so we're gonna I'm gonna 206 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: draw a name later in this episode. Um, and there's 207 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: going to be a winner that is announced. Yeah. Pretty exciting. Yeah, 208 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: all right, so we haven't really talked about We buried 209 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: the lead a little bit here and we briefly touched 210 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: on it. But Lamar Jackson, yeah, as a non exclusive, 211 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: with the non exclusive franchise tag on him, now can 212 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: start negotiating with other teams. I think I saw on 213 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: Instagram he's got the red the red boots on today. Yeah. Yeah, 214 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: so if that's his negotiating swag, that's interesting swag. Ye 215 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: are you wearing the red I'm not wearing the red boots. 216 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: I Am not that cool. Okay, Well, we know to 217 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: be frank. Yeah, So you know, now he can start 218 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: talking to the teams. The question, of course becomes, well, 219 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: what other teams could pursue Lamar Jackson? Right, and and 220 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: certainly over the first two days two plus days now 221 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: of free agency being open, there's been a lot of 222 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: movement in the quarterback game, right, So let let's go 223 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: for it. Go through the list here. New Orleans started 224 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: out signed Derek Carr, who had been released by the Raiders, 225 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: so he was a free agent. He could have signed 226 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: before you know, he signed officially before free agency opened. 227 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: So Derek Carr went to New Orleans. Jimmy Garoppolo went 228 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: to the Raiders. Miami, I think made it pretty clear 229 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: that they're keeping two. Uh. They also they pick up 230 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: the fifth year option for exactly that That was more 231 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: than just saying we want it exactly more than lip service. 232 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: That was action, right, and uh, Carolina traded up for 233 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, presumably to draft the quarter 234 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: whiever quarterback they want. Houston sits at number two, has 235 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: a second draft pick they can take, whether that be 236 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: Bryce Young, whether that be you know, CJ. Stroud, whoever 237 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: it is. They have their pick of whoever's left. Yeah. Uh. 238 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: As of today, Baker Mayfield is reportedly agreed to terms 239 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers now as of 240 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: an hour ago or so, a couple hours ago, says 241 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: he's going to the New York Jets. That still hasn't 242 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: been worked out, which is kind of the funny thing. 243 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: Everybody's saying. Aaron Rodgers with the Jets, Yeah, they just 244 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: have to work out trade conversation sometimes that takes a 245 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, yeah, you know, and there's reports that 246 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: they want two first round picks for Aaron Rodgers, right, 247 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: So are the Jets just anyway, Yeah, that's a different point. 248 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: But he says he's going to the Jets, that's likely 249 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: to happen. It's I mean, that's the biggest hurdle. It's 250 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: it sounded like, I mean, trade conversation is always a hurdle. 251 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: But the biggest hurdle was what he wants to do. 252 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: Does he want to continue playing? Does he want to stay? Well, 253 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: but if the Jets say, yeah, yeah, we'll give you 254 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: a second round pick, yeah, well, the Raiders say, I 255 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: think I don't care if he says he wants to 256 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: go to New York. Nah, I think he's gonna end 257 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: up in New York. I think you will. I think 258 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: you will. To the point. So that's a lot of 259 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in there now. Atlanta has reportedly said that they 260 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: are sticking with Desmond Ritter, who was the third round 261 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: draft pick last year. You got starting experience, actually played 262 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Yea, what the action is there? We haven't 263 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: seen exactly, so you know, as you kind of look 264 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: at this as of since we started this, the Commanders 265 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: are expecting to sign Jacoby Brissette. Now, whether that's to 266 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: be their starters they've said previously. Sam Howe enters the 267 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: season as their KB one is Jacoby Brissette QB one 268 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: now or I don't know right as it stands now. 269 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: The point is that there's been a lot of movement 270 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: that a lot of spots for quarterback needed teams have 271 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: been taken yea, And so it makes you wonder who's 272 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: left out there. If somebody is going to pursue Lamar Jackson, 273 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: which Lamar Jackson is an amazing player, is an awesome player, 274 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: you would certainly think teams are interested, but there's not 275 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: a whole lot of obvious teams out there that have 276 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: obvious glaring quarterback needs at this point. Yeah. I mean, 277 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: I think the two that jump out would be the Colts. Yep. 278 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: They have the fourth overall pick, and based on the 279 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: way that the draft is starting to shake out, the 280 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: Panthers have traded up to number one, so they're going 281 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: to take whichever quarterback they like the most. Ye Presumably 282 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: there is a belief that the Falcon and thee but 283 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: the Texans have the second pick, but then Arizona has 284 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: a third pick that they'll end up trading that pick. 285 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: Right that basically there could be basically the draft could 286 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: go one, two, three, four with the top four quarterbacks 287 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: coming off the board. Well, specifically, I think they're sucking 288 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: the top three and then and then and then it's 289 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: at number four. If you're the Colts and you don't 290 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: trade up to number three and the Cardinals trade out 291 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: to whomever, Yeah, then are are the Colts? Do they 292 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: feel like it's worthwhile to take the fourth best quarterback 293 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: with the fourth pick or is that not enough value 294 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: for them? Yeah? And you know, the debate is whether 295 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: it would make more sense for them to pursue Lamar 296 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: Jackson that scenario if you're not going to get one 297 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: of the time three guys, Right, that's the debate. Yeah, 298 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: of course, and maybe that maybe they do, maybe they 299 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: try to make an offer that the Ravens couldn't match. 300 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: I think that it would be tough to see Lamar 301 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,599 Speaker 1: Jackson go to Indianapolis for sure. I mean, they're in 302 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: a hipsy team and it would be difficult to see 303 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: him go and play for the Colts. And so I 304 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: think that that's one option. The other one that's been 305 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: floated out there is Detroit. You know, could they be 306 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: a team They still have Jared Golf who played really 307 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: well last year, But could Detroit go out there and 308 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: try to add Lamar maybe? I think that. Like at 309 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: this point, as we're sitting here and you know, I 310 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: keep refreshing Twitter, I haven't seen anything come in. There's 311 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: been no reports of another team like starting or being 312 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: really interested in making an offer or right, there hasn't 313 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: even been smoke of saying, like we're hearing that this 314 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: team is going to be in the Lamar Jackson sweep States. Right, 315 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: there hasn't been that smoke. Could there be could have 316 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: teamed certainly, And I also am not naive enough to 317 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: think that every tweet that you read is gospel. There's 318 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: no opportunity. There's no way that a team could be 319 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: saying one thing and they're doing it well. And you know, 320 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: when you're talking about what a deal of that magnitude, 321 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: what that would take Oftentimes that is shrouded with the 322 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: utmost of secrecy. Teams are very tight lift about making 323 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: massive moves at the quarterback position, which any team that 324 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: would go after Lamar Jackson that's a pretty major Yeah, 325 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: that's a massive move. And so I think the point 326 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: here when you also bring in all the other factors 327 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: of what it would take contractually, what it would take, 328 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: because if the Ravens were to match, you would give 329 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: up to first or we're not to match, you would 330 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: give up two first round picks. Also, there are a 331 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: lot of hurdles here. There's the communication and working out 332 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: a deal which is its own, you know, with Lamar 333 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: Jackson not being represented by an agent, that adds to 334 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: the whole the whole equation here, right, So there's just 335 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: a lot of hurdles I think for a team to 336 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,119 Speaker 1: get over and now you see the list of possible 337 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: possible teams dwindling, that adds even more likelihood in my 338 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: mind that Lamar Jackson does not go elsewhere, which is 339 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: music to our years because as as the Ravens, you know, 340 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: and we want to see Lamar Jackson get that long 341 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: term deal and be here for a long time, right, 342 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: And so then it's a matter of to me, okay, 343 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: does that mean under the franchise tag in twenty twenty 344 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: three or the hope that the two sides come to 345 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: a long term agreement, right, and part of the non 346 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: exclusive franchise tag. I think part of the beauty of 347 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: that tag and the reason of using it is to 348 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: provide some insight into what the market for Lamar Jackson is. Right. Obviously, 349 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: the two sides have not been able to come to 350 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: a number of what that value is. The market can 351 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: help set what that value is. Now, if a team 352 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: doesn't engage in big time negotiations, in depth conversations with 353 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, if that never even if it never even 354 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: comes to that, right, because there's so few teams and 355 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: the hurdles that I mentioned, if it never comes to that, 356 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: you don't really get that education necessarily, Right, Lamar doesn't 357 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: get that education of seeing what that market is and 358 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: what it's not, and the Ravens don't. Right. So it's 359 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a weird situation in which you want 360 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: some knowledge, right, You want some knowledge of what that 361 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: market is because that could move you closer to the 362 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: long term deal that you want. Yeah, it's it's more 363 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: risky because that that gaining that knowledge could find out 364 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: that it examin is. You want the knowledge, but you 365 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: don't want him to come to a deal. Yeah, it's 366 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: like you want the knowledge. Most of you just want 367 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: the information. Um. Yeah, Look, I think I've said all 368 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: along that that my gut and my feeling is that 369 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: Lamar ultimately stays in Baltimore, Right, I think that that 370 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: would be the Ravens hope, that would be our hope. Um. 371 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a great player who you love 372 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: watching play. And so I think the Ravens have made 373 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: it clear every time that we've talked with Eric's costaer 374 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: John Harball, that they're working towards that long term deal 375 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: and the hope that that happens. And I you know, 376 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: even though now it's four o'clock and teams can start 377 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: calling and negotiating all that, Like, my feeling hasn't changed 378 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: that I would still think Lamar Jackson ultimately stays in Baltimore. 379 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: And there's kind of three avenues that I could go 380 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: in my mind if he stays here. One is the 381 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: franchise tag. You could play under that and then we 382 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: could be back here in the year having the same conversation, right. 383 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: Another is he signs a long term deal, you know, 384 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: a six year deal. And then the other is the 385 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: middle of the road, you know, like a three year deal, right. Um, 386 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: And that could be another option. I think we're all 387 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: hoping that we're not at this table having this exact 388 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: same conversation we've been having it for the last You 389 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: know that it's funny at the at the Combine. When 390 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: I did the interview with the Interrapp Report about this, 391 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: he basically said, did we have this conversation last year? 392 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: We just play we just played the tape from last year. 393 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: I just say that it's this year, and it's it 394 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: just feels like it's a similar conversation. So I think that, um, 395 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: those are the three possibilities that I see, and I 396 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: don't know which of those three I would like say 397 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: is the most likely right now. It's hard for me 398 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: to kind of make that prediction, right but my gut 399 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: says that he'll end up being here, and that's well. 400 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: The other possibility, obviously is that he's not here. But 401 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: I think of the possibilities, that to me, to me 402 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: is the least likely of those possibilities right now, just 403 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: my opinion, Yeah, that seems like the least likely of 404 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: the possibilities, right and the optimistic way to look at 405 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: all this because I'm sure there's a lot of Ravens 406 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: fans once that clock struck four, that they started sweating 407 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: even more thinking about the possibility that Lamar could leave. 408 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: The optimistic way to look at this and what I 409 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: was kind of talk about with the information gleaning information 410 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: from this process is you can look at this as 411 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: the next step in providing in getting to that long 412 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: term resolution that we're looking to to reach. Yeah, that's 413 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: the way to kind of look at it as you're 414 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: as you're worried on your couch. Yeah, totally. So all right, 415 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: I want to get I want to take some fan 416 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: questions here. You can comment on Facebook, on YouTube. Let 417 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: us know what questions you have. Here's a question we 418 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: kind of we missed this one off the top when 419 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: we were recapping the week, but this question is from 420 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: Lisa who asks, what's your take on in Klais Campbell? Go? 421 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: Certainly so Kalais Campbell. The Ravens part of ways with him. 422 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: They released him earlier this week. He was doing a 423 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: big Cat number. UM. He has decided he wants to 424 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: come back and play this year, but the Ravens released him. UM. 425 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: In a text to Josina Anderson. Now, when the Ravens 426 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: released him, Eric to Costas said that the hope and 427 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: the expectation. They're not closing the door on him playing 428 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: for the Ravens this year. He could still end up 429 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: back in Baltimore. We've seen this happen with players previously. 430 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: They either go out and they test the market or 431 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens release him. You see what the market holes 432 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: and then you end up back here. So Da Costas said, 433 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: they're not closing the door. Oh oh see. Excuse me, sir, 434 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: excuse me, sir. We have a tweet here from Evan Massey. Okay, uh, 435 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: I don't know who have here. Here's the here's chap 436 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: checking here, but anybody can get the blue check these days. 437 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: You got to remember with Mike, you just always got 438 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: to keep this in mind. And I've learned this is 439 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: basically in real time the dilemma that I've dealt with. 440 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: You're a past decade here. If you clown me, I 441 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: need a pre getting got right now? All right? He 442 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: always needs to double check that it's not a fake 443 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: account or it's it's somebody. He says. He was featured 444 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: on Forbes and Espah. Okay, Evan Massey. He says that 445 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: the Colts have given some thought to pursuing Lamar Jackson, 446 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: according to a source, says, uh, they aren't completely sold 447 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: on any quarterback in this draft class. A team to 448 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: monitor the Colts. Yeah, I thought it was gonna be 449 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: at Calais just as we're talking about. No. No, I 450 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: mean I think that's a big enough information there that 451 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: it's worth interrupting you. I don't know, you know, it 452 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: rise to the level for you. Yeah. No, Look, I 453 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: think it's it's um. I mean, I'm sure there's a 454 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: lot of teams that have thought about it, you know, 455 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: and so that's it's the first little bit of smoke. 456 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: This a little bit of smoke, first smoke that you've 457 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: seen on this issue. Yeah, totally. Now, I seem to 458 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: recall a couple of weeks ago reading about tweets about 459 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: how the Colts were in love with quarter with you know, 460 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Bryce Young or they're they're in love so so you know, 461 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: and now we're saying that they aren't completely sold many 462 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: quarterback in this class. Once again, once again, I will 463 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: just say, don't believe pretty much anything you hear regarding 464 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: team's interests in quarterbacks, who they like and who they don't. Yeah, 465 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: I just think that is that's sacred information. In the NFL. Yeah, 466 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: you're usually in teams usually are not in the business 467 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: of giving away their strategy in terms of free agency 468 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: or the draft. All right, but going back to Calais, look, 469 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: I think that he was doing a massive cap number, 470 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: and the Raves need to get under the cap. They're 471 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: reportedly around ten million under the cap coming instances today 472 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: based on the moves that they made. And it's just 473 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: one of those difficult decisions like you find yourself in 474 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: a spot where you love the player, you love the person, 475 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: he's been productive, but the money doesn't line up with 476 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: what you want to spend. And I think that's basically 477 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: the hard business reality of where the Ravens found themselves 478 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: with Klais. Now he goes out there in the market 479 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: and maybe he ends up back here. It's probably gonna 480 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: be the last season of his career. He's ninety nine sacks, 481 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: one sack away from one hundred. I think it's one 482 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: ninety nine one away from two hundred, isn't it. On 483 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: that my completely wrong on that is he is almost 484 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: at a hundred hundred. Okay, I give him an extra 485 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: hundred first ballot history, all right, my brain just went there. 486 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: Um so what's your take on the Claiss move. Yeah, 487 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's a tough move to make, you know, 488 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: I mean, these are the tough business decisions that happen 489 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: this time of year. You don't like to see something 490 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: like that, a player of that caliber and a person 491 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: of that caliber, and so that's just you know, when 492 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that you're franchise tagging, when you're 493 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: tough tight against the cap and you have to clear 494 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: some space, those are the kind of tough decisions that 495 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: you have to make. Unfortunately, like you said, I think 496 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be surprising if Class were to return. You know, 497 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: I think it's well well known that he loves Baltimore, 498 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: that Baltimore loves him, right, and when there's desire on 499 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: both sides, you have the framework for a reunion. Yeah, right, 500 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: it's whether the who else comes in with what kind 501 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: of offer for Calais. You know, I think his market 502 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: reigns to be seen. Like I said, he played at 503 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: a pretty high level last year, but you know, his age, 504 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: being in the last year of his contract, oftentimes the 505 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: Ravens fans know well, you know, the Ravens are pretty 506 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: adept at scooping guys off the veteran free agent market 507 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: at the tail end of their career and getting him 508 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: out of reasonable price. What will that price be for 509 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: Claiss Campbell. We don't know, you know, the Ravens on 510 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: the defensive line, have everybody else coming back. They already 511 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: resigned Brent Urban a week or so ago to a 512 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: one year deal, so they have a veteran defensive end. 513 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: They have a lot of young talent there. Travis Jones, 514 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, a rookie from last year that really flash 515 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: could step into a much bigger role. Broader Washington played 516 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: really well, justin Matta Bka. They have young components there. 517 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: Michael Pierce, you know talking about the guys who restructure 518 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: contracts to stay. He was another reported person that did that. 519 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: So they have a lot of depth and talent sell 520 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: in defensive line. You'd love to have Claiss back, yeah, 521 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: and to add to that, but I don't think that 522 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: the Ravens are in a situation where they have to 523 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: have him. And of course you could still add a 524 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: veteran and free agency a cheaper veteran or draft somebody 525 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: to bolster, you know, kind of put into that playplane. 526 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: All right, So you know, we're about twenty plus minutes 527 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: into this and we haven't even really mentioned the world 528 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: wide receiver and surprising, surprising, and we do have several 529 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: questions on that, this one from Tristan Meager who asked 530 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: any guesses on potential wide receiver signings. So, as we 531 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: sit here right now, the receivers that are off the board. 532 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: Jujus Schuster signed today with the Patriots. Jacobe Myers left 533 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: the Patriots and went to the Raiders. Yes, okay, and 534 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: who am I missing? There's one other And so all 535 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: those guys, the top three, those are basically considered the 536 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: top three receivers on the market. The other big one 537 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: is Odell Beckham Junior, who at this point has not 538 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: sighed The Ravens were reportedly at his workout last week 539 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: be one of the top ones. Yes, yes, And those 540 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: three have all gone for an average of eleven million 541 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, so that seems to be kind of 542 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: the going right now. Those reports that O'Dell wants fifteen 543 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: to twenty million, so, which would should be much more 544 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: than that eleven And that's maybe part of the reason 545 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't signed it. You know, he may want more 546 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: than teams are willing to spend right now and sit 547 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: it out. He sat out, you know, a last season 548 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: recovering from the from the knee injury, so he may 549 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: be taking his time. Yeah, but I do think that 550 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: in terms of on the receiver market, what's relatively encouraging 551 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: about that from a Ravens perspective is that it hasn't 552 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: been like blowing up what we saw last year. Now 553 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: that was Tyree Kelly Defanta Adams, who were getting around 554 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars a year, but a big difference in 555 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: price range, so that there could be a receiver who 556 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: is available to the Ravens that who fits like the 557 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: right player right price Matra. Yeah, there certainly could be. 558 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: We don't know who that player is. Yeah, you know 559 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: it is. I think right now, you know, the Ravens 560 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: are still they don't have a ton of cap space 561 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: right now. I think it's a report of what nine 562 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: ten point three and that was before the restrictive free 563 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: agents and all that tendering, and you know, so that 564 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: doesn't enable you a ton. Now they have more flexibility 565 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: if they were to restructure some more veteran contracts, they 566 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: could clear up some more salary cap space. If they're 567 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: do that or you know, part of the issue here 568 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson, as we've talked about in previous podcasts, 569 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: is really kind of lynchpinto all this, right, And if 570 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: another team does make an offer for Lamar Jackson or 571 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: get him to sign an offer sheet, the Ravens want 572 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: the financial flexibility potentially to match that, right. So you 573 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: also don't want to burn through all your cap space 574 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: in case you have to match a higher offer than 575 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: what the Ravens have him on right now, with the 576 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: franchise sag in your one, you have to be able 577 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: to fit that salary under under the cap right now. 578 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: So there's some moving parts here where I don't think 579 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens have infinite salary cap space, right and now 580 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: you know ten point three you can work with that. 581 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: And let's just look at the wide receiver market. You 582 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: mentioned eleven million average per year. That doesn't mean you 583 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: have to fit eleven million on their salary cap right now. Oftentimes, 584 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: if you were to sign a three year or four 585 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: year deal with a player, the year one cap hit 586 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,479 Speaker 1: would be smaller on the smaller end, five million, four 587 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: molon whatever it be, right, So I think that the 588 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: Ravens still and be active in the wide receiver free 589 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: agent market. Who'd that be for a DJ Tark whoever 590 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: it might be. There's other names. McCole, Hardman's another name 591 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: that's still out there. You know, the wide receiver market 592 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: hasn't hasn't gone crazy, right, I mean, you haven't just 593 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: seen them going for high prices and going really quick. 594 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: It's a little bit slower. I think that plays into 595 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens hands and their strategy a little bit here. 596 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: That is a benefit to the Ravens as they sort 597 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: out with this Lamar Jackson situation is a little bit 598 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: maybe get some insight on how that's going to go down. 599 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: You know, there's there's other wide receivers potentially available via trade. 600 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: That's another avenue that the Ravens could go. So I 601 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: would sum it up by saying, I think the Ravens 602 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: are I would expect that they're probably closely monitoring the 603 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver situations. There's still targets out there that I 604 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: think that they could pounce on. I mean, I agree, 605 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm with you. So I think I think the trade 606 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: is an interesting option for the Ravens. I mean, you know, 607 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: with the quarterback uncertainty. You know, what is your strategy, like, 608 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: what are you telling what wide receivers want to know? 609 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: They presumably want to know who is the quarterback going 610 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: to be. You know, I would think that when they're 611 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: signing with the team. You know, the trade route is interesting. 612 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: You know, there's been reportedly the Rams have told Alan 613 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: Robinson that he's free to seek a trade. The big 614 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: one that we're hearing now the rumors all of the 615 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: Devor Broncos are saying that they're a wide receiver. Well 616 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: they're not saying, but reportedly the Broncos wide receivers are 617 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: on the block. Basically that Jerry Judy could be could 618 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: be had, Courtland Sutton, perhaps even more kJ Hammler. You 619 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: know that you could get one of the Broncos receivers. 620 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: According to reports, the price is high. One of the 621 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: Broncos receivers, Jeff Howe reports that they're looking for at 622 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: least a first round pick for Jerry Judy. So that's rich, 623 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: that's a lot if it's first round plush. But I 624 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: do think that the trade market is one that we 625 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't lose. Of course, DeAndre Hockins saying somebody we've been 626 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: talking fans have been talking about for a long time. 627 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: I think that's a market that also you should keep 628 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: in mind and keep monitoring. Well, along those lines, here's 629 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: a question, and it's no surprise thing once we started 630 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: talking with there's lots of questions on this front. This 631 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: question is considering that we do not have a second 632 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: round pick. Okay, the second round pick this year is 633 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: Roquan Smith. Ravens use that to get him last to 634 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: get pick, so pretty good pick. I'm happy with that one. 635 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: But considering we don't have a second round pick the 636 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: Kappas type as you just talk about, are the Ravens 637 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: out of the DeAndre Hopkins sweepsticks? Well, we don't know. 638 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: You know, there's been a lot of rumors about that 639 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: being a second round pick, that kind of being the 640 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: starting point. You know, could a second round pick in 641 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and a fourth round pick in twenty 642 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: twenty three get the deal done? You know, does that 643 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: have to be a second round pick this year? I 644 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: don't think that that necessarily eliminates the Ravens from DeAndre 645 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: the DeAndre Hopskins sweepsticks, right, doesn't make it a little 646 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: bit more challenging, perhaps, But I just think when you're 647 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: talking about trade compensation, there's so many creative ways to 648 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: go about it. You know, their salary involved, as that 649 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: team eat a portion of salary, how much of that 650 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, there's all different kinds of ways to get 651 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: that done. So no, I don't think the fact that 652 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens don't have a second round pick rules out 653 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. I think more likely it's the salary you 654 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: know right now, If the Ravens were to get Lamar Jackson, 655 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: a long term deal done with Lamar Jackson that had 656 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: a lower salary cap hit in year one, that becomes 657 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: a lot more feasible. Right if you're talking DeAndre Hopkins 658 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: at his salary right now coming aboard, they don't have 659 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: the flexibility as it stands now to swallow that salary 660 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: right right, All right, let's take a quick break here 661 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: and give our shout out to our friends at Draft Kings. 662 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: The sports landscape is always changing.

In terms of other 705 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: notes of what's been going on over the past few days, 706 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: let's kind of hit on some of the other players 707 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: former Ravens and where they sit. Okay, if you've been 708 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: looking at the news and following the news today, Hayden Hurst, 709 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: former Ravens tight end Siday, three year contract with the 710 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: Carolina Panther. So it's kind of interesting two former Ravens 711 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: tight ends have basically signed the same contract. Hayden goes 712 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: to Carolina on a three year, twenty one point seven 713 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: million dollar deal and Josh Oliver goes to Minnesota. I'm 714 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: basically the same one. Right, Well, it's it's double good news. 715 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: Congrats to Hayden double because you're also now not a 716 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengal. Yes, so congrats to you. I think that's good. 717 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: He played pretty well for the Bengals last year. He did, 718 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,439 Speaker 1: he did, so, yeah, I'm happy that he's no longer 719 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: a Bengal. Yeah. Also with Carolina, Bradley Boseman signed a 720 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: three year contract there, reportedly for eighteen million I believe, 721 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: so two former Ravens of Carolina. Another big name former 722 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: Raven is Orlando Brown Junior obviously want a Super Bowl 723 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: last year playing left tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. 724 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: At this point, and I keep refreshing here, but he 725 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: has not signed anywhere. The Chiefs have moved on, so 726 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: he's looking for a deal elsewhere out there on the market. 727 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: So we'll see what he ends up getting. You know, 728 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: certainly he wants to play left tackle and wants to 729 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: be paid as one of the best in the game, 730 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: and so we'll see what that deal ultimately looks like 731 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: for him. We see as of breaking news here de 732 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: Sean Elliott one year deal with the Miami Dolphins. So 733 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: congrats to de Seawan as well. Other news around the 734 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: AFC North, I think, you know, as I mentioned the 735 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: Bengals here, kind of the buzz there has been the 736 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: Packers or not the Packers, geez, Patrick Peterson going to 737 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was has been their big pickup. 738 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: And then the Bengals lost their two starting safeties Jesse 739 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: bates Go and Von Bell both gone from Cincinnati. Those 740 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: are two big hits Dax Hill. Dax Hill, the rookie 741 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: they draft in the first round last year and Justice Hills. Yeah, brother, yeah, 742 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: we'll be in a big spot for the Bengals. So 743 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: big news in the Hill household. Yeah. Uh So that's 744 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: kind of the news around the ASC North to Shaun 745 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: Watson with Cleveland has renegotiated his deal. Yeah, basically that 746 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: just moved money. Is still the same deal, but it 747 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 1: just moved money around. Yeah, so there's the yellow deals. 748 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: I want to get back to talking about potential Ravens 749 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: signings here, and you know one big unrestricted free agent 750 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: that still is on the market, Marcus Peters. Yes, and 751 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: the possibility of Marcus returning. Haven't really heard much smoke. 752 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: There's not been much buzz on that on Twitter. What's 753 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: your gut telling you on Marcus Peters. Yeah, he is 754 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: one of the toughest ones to predict. I think in 755 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: my mind, I think that I think that the Ravens 756 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: would like the idea of him coming back. I mean, 757 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: he's a high quality player. I think that he is 758 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,240 Speaker 1: a tone setter in a lot of ways. For this defense, 759 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: I go back and listen to what some of his 760 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: teammates have said over the past few years, like Marlin 761 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: Humphrey talked about how he's one of the smartest players, 762 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 1: maybe the smartest player that he's ever played with, and 763 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: how he just made everybody around him better. So I 764 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 1: think that for all those reasons, the idea of him 765 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: returning to Baltimore. I mentioned talking to Rappaport at the combine. 766 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: He said he thought there was a chance that maybe 767 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: they work out a deal during the season. So you know, 768 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: based on you know, his feeling and what he's hearing, 769 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: that there's some momentum there. Maybe there's some momentum there. Well, 770 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: Eric Scots has said, you know that he's talked to 771 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: his agent, that he's you know, in close contacts with 772 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: his agent and those things. I would expect those conversations 773 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: to continue. Yeah, now, Eric and talking about that, never 774 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: said like there's no doubt he's going to be a raven. Now, 775 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 1: of course, you got to negotiate, and there's always the 776 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: potential that someone ends up wanting to leave or wanting 777 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: to get another big deal elsewhere. So like I think 778 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: that with Marcus at this stage of his career, he's 779 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: played multiple teams's played in three different teams in his career, 780 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna want to look at like the best overall package. 781 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: It's the money, it's the team, it's the culture, it's 782 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: the city. It's where he feels at home, it's where 783 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: he feels like he's gonna have a chance to win this. 784 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: Somebody who cares deeply about winning, So I think for 785 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: all those reasons, Baltimore is would be a good place. 786 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,479 Speaker 1: And I think that the Ravens would like the idea 787 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: of him coming back. That's my feeling. But it only 788 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: takes one team, and cornerbacks go for big money. So like, 789 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: as much as we're sitting here saying like, oh, I'd 790 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: love to have him back, and he's going to look 791 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: at the full package, I don't think that he is 792 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: going to take a deal that he doesn't feel like 793 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: his fairmat market value. So he could get a nice 794 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: deal out there on the market. And the fact that 795 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: we haven't heard anything from him any reports, to me, 796 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: isn't really a surprise. As you know, Marcus doesn't really 797 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: talk with the media so much. He keeps the quiet, 798 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: So I'm not necessarily surprised that we're not hearing a 799 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: ton of reports on the Marcus Peters front. And that's 800 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: one Like I don't think that it's gonna be weeks, 801 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: you know, or a month plus on him. But like, 802 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that it's not four clocks, that it's 803 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: four o'clock and we're not hereing like, Okay, here's the 804 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters deal like that's one that like he's been 805 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: through the he's been through the business side of this 806 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: a couple of different times, and so he will see 807 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: how this plays out and then make a decision. He's 808 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 1: pretty chill, dude. I feel like, well except when he's playing. Yeah, 809 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: he's ask receivers, ask receivers to go up against and 810 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: how chilly is I feel like, you know, like Maru 811 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: ses on sweat, you know what I mean? Yeah, Like 812 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't think he's like, yeah, I just don't see 813 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters on his couch at home refresh on Twitter 814 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: and being like, what's late? Is he hear what's going on? Yeah? 815 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: I would agree, like he plays pretty cool. That's my gut. Yeah. Um. 816 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: You know in the cornerback market too, Darius Slay, you know, 817 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: release from the Eagles, you know that impacts the cornerback market. 818 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: And another top guy on their Rocky Sin still el 819 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: Sean Murphy Bunting. You know, there's still some cornerbacks that 820 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: are available in the free agent market, and I think 821 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: as there are more guys out there and a lot 822 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: of guys who were released or you know, rumored to 823 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 1: be possibly on the move, returns to their team. There's 824 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: there's been some cornerback movement, and a lot of those 825 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: chairs in the game have already been filled, right, And 826 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: so I don't know how many more spots there are 827 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: out there for let's say, a guy to a team 828 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: to sign Marcus Peters to a big time deal, if 829 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying, Like the musical chairs has 830 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: kind of gone on for a couple of days now, 831 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 1: the longer at lingers, the more likely I think it 832 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: is that Marcus Peters lands back in Baltimore. Now. The 833 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: draft is going to play a role in this, you know, 834 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 1: apparently a loaded cornerback class in the draft. You know, 835 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: is it a situation I probably expect that Marcus Peters 836 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: would be on a team before the draft. I don't 837 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: think it would wait that long. But is it a 838 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: situation where teams maybe fill some needs at cornerback, the 839 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: Ravens see if they fill in the unit cornerback and 840 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: then make a determination. I don't know that would be 841 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: a long time for him to wait, but justin Houston 842 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: waited until June the past couple of years, yeah, you know, 843 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: or later could be another Could it be another situation 844 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: like that? All right? We got a tweet here. Um, 845 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: that's that's semi breaking news. It's not really news, it's 846 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: a little bit news, some news. Jeremy Fowler. Uh, Jeremy 847 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: Fowler from ESPN reported US. The tweet says the Ravens, 848 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: who faced uncertainty around Lamar Jackson the future, have been 849 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: involved in the free agent quarterback market, looking into options 850 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: such as Baker Mayfield and Jacoby Brissette. Per league sources, 851 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: Baltimore appears to be looking for flexibility. So now in 852 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: terms of Jacoby Brissette and Mayfield, they're both gone. They're 853 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: off the table now. Uh, you know so that they've 854 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: they've signed deals. So I guess based on this report, 855 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: prior to them signing deals and Ravens were in the 856 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: mix with them. Um, but they are going elsewhere. So 857 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: what did you check for the Jeremy Fowler check mark? 858 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 1: Get got. That's you. That's you. You get got that's 859 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: got to check out, right, that's legit. What do you 860 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: what's your take on that report? Well, yeah, I'm it's 861 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: not surprising because you know, you don't know exactly what 862 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 1: the future holds for Lamar Jackson. As his tweet says, 863 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, as much as we talk about 864 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: intent and desire for Lamar to be back here, any 865 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: team can blow blow them out of the water with 866 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: the Dolfer and so you just don't know. So the 867 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,280 Speaker 1: Ravens don't want to be caught in a position where 868 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: they're stuck without a quarterback that they can envision as 869 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: their Week one guy. Yeah. Now, you know, if Lamar 870 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 1: Jackson ends up elsewhere and the Ravens get two first 871 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: round picks, do they draft a top quarterback in the 872 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: first round? You know, there's other moves that could certainly come. 873 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: But as you were kind of talking about earlier, you 874 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 1: never want to get a position where you're boxed in't 875 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: a drafting one's position? Yeah? Right, So getting some veteran, 876 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: a veteran starter who's done it for a while, you know, 877 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: he's played at a high level, you know, exploring that 878 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: option is certainly not surprising. Yeah. The other thing too, 879 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: is I just think the Ravens do their due diligence 880 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: on just about every player in position when it comes 881 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: to free agency. So they're always like looking and talking 882 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: and investigating. You know, well, I think that's part of 883 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: the process. And as we talked about with Snoop right, 884 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: Like another team could come out. You know, the Ravens 885 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: reportedly offered a writer first refusal tender. Right, another team 886 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: could come and Snoop up Snoop right now, you don't 887 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: have a backup quarterback, you know what kind of quarterback 888 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: best fits and Todd Munkins system. Obviously, part of the 889 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: advantage of having Snoop as the Ravens backup quarterback is 890 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: he played the game in a similar fashion for Lamar Jackson. 891 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: You know, you didn't have to change the offense when 892 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: he came in. Well, what does Todd Munkins offense look like? 893 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: Is it as suited towards the way that Snoop plays 894 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: the game or towards the way a different player plays 895 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: the game? Yeah, I think that's part of the equation here. Yeah, totally. So. 896 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: As always, you can email us at the lounge at 897 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: Ravens dot NFL dot net. Also, I'm looking at the 898 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: questions that are coming in here across social media. I 899 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: want to go back to a position the player for 900 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: the Ravens who signed the biggest deal on the free 901 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: agent market so far, as Ben Powers signed the four year, 902 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars deal with the Denver Broncos. And 903 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: just the good news whenever you lose a player like 904 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: a Ben Powers or Josh Oliver who goes out and 905 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: signs a three year, twenty one million dollars deal with 906 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, is that you get cop picks in return. 907 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 1: Nobody has mastered the comp pick formula better than the 908 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 1: Ravens since that was put into place, and so the 909 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 1: expectation as of now is that we'll get up probably 910 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: a fourth round cop pick for Ben Powers in a 911 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: fifth round or six rounds, sixth round pick for Josh Oliver, 912 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: which is good news that you basically get a little 913 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: bit of return despite losing. It's also a sign him 914 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 1: just good business. Right, the Ravens drafted Ben Powers in 915 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen in the fourth round. You got an amazing 916 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season from him, and now you could 917 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 1: get a fourth round pick in return. Of course, you 918 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: don't like to lose Ben Powers in free agency. You'd 919 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: rather keep him. In a perfect world, Yeah, but this 920 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 1: happens all the time. Guys get priced out. But it 921 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: just shows a it was a good pick, right, he 922 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: gets paid a top ten salary. B it was good 923 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: development on the you know by the Ravens coaches. Yeah, 924 00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: to get him to that point where he could get 925 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: that contract. I could help get him get that contract. 926 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:02,879 Speaker 1: And of course it was a great play by Ben 927 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,399 Speaker 1: yep right. So it's just that's kind of we've seen 928 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: this time and time again. It's good business. It's kind 929 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: of the circle of life in the NFL. Right, And 930 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 1: if you can keep drafting players, developing them even and 931 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: hopefully retain them if they leave, you get a good 932 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: compic back that equold what you put into him. That's 933 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: just good business. So the question here from Jordan Shelton 934 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 1: is Ben Cleveland the guy to replace him at left guard? 935 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: So what's you know? Last year? Again, going into it, 936 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 1: I think a lot of us would have said, all right, 937 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: if i'm if I'm ranking the left guard starters, probably 938 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: Tyree Phillips number one. He ends up getting, you know, traded, ye, 939 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 1: And then it's uh, they traded him, right, Yeah, they 940 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: caught him, they got him. It was like, do they 941 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: trade him with cuts giants picked on? Yeah? Um, So 942 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: it's Tyree Phillips, it's Ben Cleveland, it's Patrick McCarry, who's 943 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: the jack of all trades, can play every position on 944 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: the line, what is your expectation. Is it Ben Cleveland 945 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: who ends up getting that job? Is it somebody else? 946 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: So they bring it up, I think a name not 947 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: to forget. There's John Simpson. He was very under the 948 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: radar pick up kind of late in the season by 949 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: the Ravens. You've been released by the Raiders. Believe it was. 950 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 1: This is the guy who started a considerable amount of 951 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: games for the Raiders the past couple of years. Was 952 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,839 Speaker 1: I believe a second round pick. This is when we 953 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: go to see having the laptop right here? Pretty nice? 954 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: All right? So John Simpson's fourth round pick out of Clemson, right, 955 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: I mean this is a big dude. I mean, you're 956 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: you're talking to six foot four three twenty one like 957 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 1: IM just saying I think, don't forget about him in 958 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,240 Speaker 1: the competition. Yeah, I would probably say between he and Cleveland. 959 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens want Patrick McCarey to be their 960 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 1: swing tackle. Yeah, and I know you know they resigned 961 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: him to a deal yeah last year. Uh and but 962 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: that's a valuable spot. I mean, Patrick, how many times 963 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,399 Speaker 1: we've seen Patrick McCarey get come into duty? Yeah, right, 964 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna have injuries, so I think that, uh, I 965 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 1: think that it's probably between Cleveland and John Simpson right 966 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 1: now would be my leaders in the clubhouse. Yeah, and 967 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: then I would say that they're probably going to draft 968 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: a rookie to kind of plug into the system again. 969 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: The other thing too, I'll just say, you know, I 970 00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: know Cleveland has played sparingly in his first two seasons. Well, 971 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: Ben Powers had played pretty sparingly, and then all of 972 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: a sudden he ends up winning the starting job this 973 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: year and getting a massive contract. And so he's not 974 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: the first guy in Raven's history who has followed that 975 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: type of trajectory. I mean, I go back to like 976 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: a Ryan Jensen and Ryan Jensen with somebody who was 977 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: a practice squad, late round pick and on and off, 978 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he ends up getting 979 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: a big deal and people look at him as one 980 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 1: of the best centers of the game. So there's been 981 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: examples of that. Powers is the latest. So baby Ben 982 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,319 Speaker 1: Cleveland ends up getting his opportunity this year and he 983 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: ends up seizing it playing great. So he's the next 984 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: guy when we're doing this in two years, he ends 985 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,839 Speaker 1: up getting a big deal. Other it's here elsewhere, So 986 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: we'll see. Yeah. Absolutely. And then the other question is 987 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: tight end. I think that's kind of a simpler answer there. 988 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 1: Josh Oliver leaves the Ravens draft and two tight ends 989 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: in the fourth round last year, Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kohler. 990 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 1: I think that Charlie Cohler from a physical standpoint, you 991 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: look at him and you're like, this is Josh Oliver 992 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: two point zero. But you know, I also think you 993 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,399 Speaker 1: looked at Charlie Cohler last year and you said, oh, 994 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 1: give him a year in the weight room, give him 995 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: a full offseason to the weight room in the Ravens program. 996 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: Like this, dude's gonna look big. Josh Oliver look the part. 997 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: He certainly looks the part. And I think that Charlie 998 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: Cohler could really have a similar role and look the 999 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,720 Speaker 1: same and offer some of you know, certainly as a receiver, 1000 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: he showed that at Iowa State that you can catch 1001 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: the ball. Isaiah Likely, we know what he can do 1002 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 1: as a receiving target. So I think there's two rookies 1003 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: now with Josh Oliver not to mix anymore. It's their time. 1004 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 1: I like Cohler, I mean I like the potential there. 1005 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: I mean I think like you said, I think he 1006 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 1: looks the part, and I think that he could be 1007 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: a pretty important player for this team this year and 1008 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: have a really good season.
