1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. Garrett and I, 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a lot of moves that could 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: be made, as we talk to Jeff's reeback about, and 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: as we've talked about on this podcast, there's still moves 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: that could be made between now and the started training camp, 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: between training camp the start of season, there's possibilities out 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: there when you look at this roster. So on today's episode, 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna break down those possibilities and potential moves. 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 2: We think the Ravens could make. 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: So, Garrett, you think Eric Kassa is gonna be busy 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: here during the NFL summer vacation. What do you think 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the old Oh, get off the beach, 13 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: get to your laptop, stat it's time to tweet something. 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 2: What do you think? 15 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: This is what we do is we call this basically 16 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 3: like it's almost like the nightmare situation. Not nightmare because 17 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 3: usually it's good news, but it's also like it always 18 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 3: happens at an inconvenient time. That's a better way to 19 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 3: put it, Like this is the inconvenient news. This is 20 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 3: this is you bring everything out to the beach. I 21 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: have the blanket, out, you got the towels out, you 22 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: got the chairs up, is up. 23 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: You just put the umbrella up. You just put up. 24 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 3: Just with the umbrella up and you and you open 25 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 3: up the cool and crack that first rank and then 26 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 3: the phone rings and that that right then is when. 27 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: The phone r nightmare scenario. 28 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: So, uh, what is the move that is going to 29 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 3: interrupt your time on the beach? And just for the record, here, 30 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: like this is we're talking about the beach because that's 31 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 3: the most immediate here, but this is really could happen 32 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: between now and the start of the season. So what 33 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: do you think make What is the move that is 34 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: most likely to happen between now and the start of 35 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 3: the season. 36 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: Oh, it's the Justin Houston has signed a deal with 37 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: the Ravens. He's coming back baby Reunion tour, the Justin 38 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: Houston Reunion Tour. That's that's gonna be the news. 39 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 3: Uh. 40 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: If I'm predicting one move that I think is most 41 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: likely to happen, that's the one. And I think it 42 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense on a lot of different levels. 43 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: I Mean, a, here's a player that the Ravens really respect. 44 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: He has a lot of respect for the Ravens. He likes, 45 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: he likes the culture, he likes the program like it's 46 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: just been a good fit since he arrived two years ago. 47 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: B He was productive last year nine and a half 48 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: sacks led the team. He wants to keep playing. He 49 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: was playing at a high level last year. So you know, 50 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: it makes sense from a production standpoint. See, you know, 51 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: he's a player that's not necessarily going to take like 52 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: he doesn't come in and say, all right, I need 53 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: to be the starter, I need to play whatever. 54 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: Seven percent of the snaps. 55 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: You know, here's a guy that I don't think would 56 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: stunt the development of a David Jabo or a DAFA AOA. Right, 57 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: he is a supplementary, complimentary piece, and so you know, 58 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: and you know he obviously has a relationship with a 59 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: DAFA and with David and as a mentor that can 60 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: continue under Chuck Smith's coaching. So I just think, you know, 61 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: probably the price, you know, if they can come to 62 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: an agreement on what that price tag is, I would 63 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: expect it's probably another one year deal. Then I think 64 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: it can make a lot of sense. Now there's other 65 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: interests reported interests in him. I don't think it's like 66 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens are nothing, you know for justin Houston. So yeah, 67 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: he needs to make the decision of whether he wants 68 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: to run it back and try to win a super 69 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Bowl here in Baltimore, which I think the Ravens are 70 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: absolutely going to contend for, or go elsewhere. I would 71 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: think that he would lean to come back to the familiar, 72 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: But you never know what other other teams offer and whatnot. 73 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I think I could totally see that. The 74 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: good news for you. You know, in your beach scenario here, 75 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 3: you've written the story twice, so right, just pull out 76 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: the old version of it, dust it off, same story, 77 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: update the stats, and just had that one ready to 78 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: go so that you can maintain your enjoyment, your enjoyable time. 79 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: No, here's the pro The pro move is you write 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: it ahead of time, email it to yourself, right, you 81 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: leave a couple of blank spots just to fill in 82 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: the day of the week, all that stuff. Then it 83 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: happens you fill in the blank spots, email it to 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: the group five minutes later. Just the true pro that's 85 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: a pros pro right there. 86 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: That is that is a pros pro. 87 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: That's the pro move right there. 88 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see Houston. I could see Houston. I mean, 89 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: for all the reasons that you said, I think that 90 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense. I do think that, like 91 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: I do think that he will definitely listen to other 92 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 3: potential offers, and so I agree. I don't think it's 93 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: necessarily Baltimore or Bust because there's a market for a 94 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: player residine and have sex, and he may sit there, 95 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 3: like he could, he could wait even longer than he 96 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: has in the past and just say, like you know, 97 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: I want to see I want to wait to sing 98 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 3: out as long as possible and see if there's an 99 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: injury in training camp and all a sudden the offer 100 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: increases from another team. Potentially you know that that could happen, 101 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: but I think that that is a pretty likely move. 102 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: I would actually, if I'm going to point to a position, 103 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: I would maybe go corner. Okay, And as much as 104 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: I and I think they could do both for the record, 105 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: here think that they could add Houston and they could 106 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: add a corner. 107 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: Yep. 108 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: I think that they will add a corner before the 109 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 3: start of the season, and it remains to be seen 110 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: whether that's an inside corner or an outside corner. I 111 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: think you could add a slot corner that would be ideal. 112 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: I think the Ravens really like you know, Pepe Williams, 113 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: but he missed time basically the entire offseason program and 114 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 3: he made He is up in the air whether he's 115 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: going to be ready for the start of training camp. 116 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 3: If it's looking like you know, training camp is about 117 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 3: the start and they don't feel great about where he is, 118 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: potentially that maybe they add somebody. Or maybe if training 119 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: camp starts and he's not back on the field yet, 120 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: then maybe they add somebody at that spot. I just 121 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: think that cornerback is such an important position, and we 122 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 3: have seen it over the course of time here on 123 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 3: multiple occasions. If you get short handed there, you find 124 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: yourself in a bad spot, and I just think the 125 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: Ravens want to have depth there. Like maybe that's maybe 126 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: that's a Kyle Fuller. 127 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: That's what I was just gonna say. 128 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: So who is it, Puddy, right, It could be a 129 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: Kyle Fuller who was on the team last year and 130 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: then gets hurt. You know, haven't heard anything on him, 131 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 3: so I'm not sure where he is in his recovery. 132 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: You know, I'm just going down the old Raven path here, 133 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: you know, Anthony Averrett is someone who I think a 134 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 3: couple of years ago when he was when he got 135 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: his year to start, I thought, I think a lot 136 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: of people were saying you should sign him to a 137 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: contract extension midseason because he could get a big deal 138 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 3: and cash in that season. If you remember going back 139 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 3: a couple of years that was kind there was some 140 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: talk about that he ends up going to Vegas on 141 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 3: a one year deal, gets hurt, and so now he 142 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 3: is still sitting out there. He's had injury history, but 143 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: he knows this system. He liked it here, the Ravens 144 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: liked him, So I wouldn't be opposed to bringing back 145 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: Anthony avern So those are those are two who I 146 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: would mention as potential options that the Ravens could could add. 147 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: So I agree with you. I think that Kyle Fuller 148 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: makes sense. You know, we've just seen that so many 149 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: times that the Ravens kind of go back to the well, 150 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: you know, and bring back somebody that it just it 151 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: just makes sense. You know, they fit the system, they 152 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: already know the system and whatnot. 153 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, like look at if you look at the team, 154 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: like Proanel mcfeet obviously was an example that happened like 155 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: four different times with him. They've done Josh Binds certainly, 156 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: I mean ten different times with him. Brent Irban, Brent 157 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: urban Is on the team, so like they're Michael Pierce. 158 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 3: So there's a number of guys that they have done 159 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: this with. So it would not shock me at all 160 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: if it were Avert or Kyle Forward. 161 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: So if they're signing somebody, if it's not a reunion 162 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: to two guys, I'll point out number one, Bryce Callahan. 163 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: I think makes makes some sense. I mean, here's a still. 164 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: A youngish quarner. 165 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: I mean he's thirty one years old, started eleven games 166 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: last year, played in fifteen five foot nine, can definitely 167 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: play in the slot, has a history of doing so. 168 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: Had a good year last year. Three interceptions for the Chargers, 169 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, pretty solid year. Forty seven tackles was a 170 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: career high. 171 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: You know. 172 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: So this is kind of a hard nosed player who 173 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: has some slot flexibility. 174 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: That's really my thing. Does Fuller can Fuller play in 175 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: the slot? You know? 176 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: I think ideally the guy that the Ravens would sign 177 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: would have some history playing playing the nickel role, just 178 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: because that's where I think the Ravens have more outside 179 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: Corners as it stands now than they do Nickel guys. 180 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: So if they're looking to an outside free agent, Bryce 181 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Callahan would be somebody I would I would bring up. 182 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: William Jackson would be the other. Here's a former pretty 183 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: high draft pick, bounced around a little bit. Washington went 184 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh, hasn't really caught steam yet. 185 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: He had I mean, he got a big deal. He had. 186 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: He had one really good year and got a pretty 187 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: big deal on the free agent market and it just 188 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: didn't work out from the Commanders. But you know, here's 189 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: a former player with a lot of promise who has 190 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: the skill set that maybe you say, all right, if 191 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: he can get back to the kind of that previous form, 192 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: we could find it a steal here. I mean, only 193 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: thirty years old, this is a talented dude. 194 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: So we should also mention here, as of this recording, 195 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: Marcus Peters is still on the market. 196 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: Yep. 197 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 3: So there's been a lot of talk about him going 198 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 3: to Vegas, and you know, he visited there and then 199 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: there's been multiple different times where the buzz is kind 200 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 3: of picked up around the idea of him landing in Vegas. 201 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: Maybe that happens. Maybe as you're listening to this, it's 202 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: already happened. I don't know, but you know, if that 203 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: doesn't happen, that could also be a you know, if 204 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 3: we're going on the reunion tour. I'm just on the 205 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: reunion tour beat right here, he would be another obvious 206 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: candidate there as well. 207 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I mean we're talking again. That's an 208 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: outside corner. I mean, Marcus is. 209 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: I know, it is all. Yeah. 210 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 3: I just think that they may just they may find themselves, 211 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: like you know what, let's just add it's like another 212 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: good corner. 213 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: But here's but my thing with with bringing back Marcus, 214 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: I don't think Marcus wants to come back and be 215 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: a backup. 216 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 3: I feel that, you know, like I think he's been 217 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 3: a starter his entire career. Yeah, obviously, we all know 218 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 3: he's a he's a vocal guy. He's a prideful dude. Yeah. 219 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: And so I mean I maybe if you were saying, well, 220 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: we think Rocky Scene or Marlin is gonna be really 221 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: our slot guy when we go three wide, you know, 222 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: three corners and Marcus or rock or opposite Marlin. When 223 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: you have two corners on the field, you know you 224 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: could do that. That would be three talented veteran cornerbacks. 225 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: But I just don't think that Marcus would sign up 226 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: to be you know, Rocky scenes backup right right. I 227 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: mean that's what Jalen Arm, Jalen Armor, Davis, Brandon Stevens 228 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: obviously can play corner uh you know, he stepped in 229 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: from Marcus Peters last year. You know, And and I know, 230 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: and I've written about this, I don't it's not good 231 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: obviously that Jalen Armor, Davis and Pepe Williams missed you know, 232 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: most of OTA's in mini camp. You know, we didn't 233 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: see a whole lot of them. Those are valuable reps 234 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: that it would have been good for them. Let's not 235 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: also overblow and like if those guys are on the 236 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: field at the start of training camp, which I think 237 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: remains to be seen for Pepe, then I think that 238 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: they have a considerable and they can stay healthy during 239 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: training camp. Like that's a lot of practice reps that 240 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: they can get, and. 241 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: They've got ample time to exactly. 242 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: Exactly like can they you know, and they have to 243 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: keep improving their young players who didn't get a ton 244 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: of action last year, but both showed promise. I think 245 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: both the Ravens like both the talent of both. So 246 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to like write those guys off by 247 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination just because they weren't out 248 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,599 Speaker 1: there for OTAs in mini camp, like they saw the 249 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: times develop and become maybe that one of them becomes 250 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: the number three corner. 251 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: Pepe could play nickel, Jaylen Armor. 252 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: Davis could play outside and bump you know, Rock or 253 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: Marlin inside in three corner three corner situations. So I 254 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: don't think that they necessarily are going to sign somebody 255 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: of Marcus Peters, uh, you know, credentials, somebody with those 256 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: kind of credentials. 257 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: I don't see that level of signing happening. 258 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think that's fair, all right. So there's 259 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 3: also beyond adding new pieces to the team, there's also 260 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 3: the potential of guys who are currently on the team 261 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 3: getting new deals. And we've seen this, you know, it's 262 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: the Ravens have done mid season deals in the past. 263 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: So and there's a handful of guys who are in 264 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 3: kind of unique contract situations. JK. Dobbins is one did 265 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: not participate in mandatory minicamp, didn't practice. He's made it 266 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: clear that you know, he would he would like a 267 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: new deal and the business side of things, as he said, 268 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 3: is a challenging piece of the game. Patrick Queen is 269 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 3: another Ravens did not pick up his fifth year option, 270 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: so this is the last year of his contract, and 271 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: the Ravens have indicated they would ideally like to work 272 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: out a long term extension with him at some point. 273 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: You know, he's a prideful guy who is you know, 274 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: understandably wants to be paid among the highest off ball 275 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 3: linebackers in the game, so they would have to agree 276 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 3: on a number there. And Kevin Zeitler is another one 277 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 3: who would point too. There's reports that he was like 278 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: a new contract as well. So let's start with JK. 279 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: Dobbins because I think that's the most headline worthy, especially 280 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: coming out of mini camp. So what is your expectation here? 281 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: Does anything happen before the start of training camp or 282 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: the season. 283 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let me preface this by saying, I hope. 284 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: So I'm I've always been a big JK. Dobbins fan, Like, 285 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: I just think the dude he can play and and 286 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: I love his attitude. I love the fire, the chip 287 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: that he plays with, you know, I love his attitude 288 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: just around the building and when he's not even playing football, 289 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: he's just a gregarious, like fun loving dude. 290 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: You know, he's just he's just fun to be around. 291 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: I like JK. 292 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: With that said, I think that there's just a lot 293 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: of complicating factors, you know, in this equation, Like you know, 294 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: we haven't seen JK. Dobbins at one hundred percent health 295 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: since his rookie year or training camp you know, before 296 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: his second year, Like, we just haven't seen it. And 297 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: I think you know, he had said that, and we 298 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: all saw that long run in Pittsburgh where you know 299 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: he's kind of you know, doesn't he's not running right, 300 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he was kind of 301 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: lacking that final gear. Even once he came back from 302 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: his mid season procedure. That doesn't mean he wasn't effective. 303 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: He was very still very effective, which gives me hope 304 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: for you know, when if he gets that final gear back, 305 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: like look out, you know, but as I just said, 306 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: it's an if, right, you don't know until you see it. 307 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: We didn't see it in mini camp, and I understand, 308 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, whatever reasons he had, those are those are 309 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: for him, Those are his reasons for not practicing. But 310 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: like we haven't seen it in a game, right, and 311 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: before if I'm the Ravens, before I want to make 312 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: a long term, heavy investment, like I want to make 313 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: sure that guy's healthy one hundred percent, you know. And 314 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: also running backs just aren't getting paid, you know, So 315 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: like that's. 316 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: A complicating factor. So it's like what number? 317 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: And I think I think JK and the Ravens believe 318 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: there that there's the best is yet to come for 319 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: JK Dobbins, right, yeah, And so like, is JK going 320 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: to sign a contract before you know, he's really had 321 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the ability to fully show his ability, you know what 322 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: I mean? 323 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, it depends. He might say, I'm 324 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: betting on myself. 325 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a really big twenty twenty three, and 326 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: then I'll see where it lands, whether that be the franchise, 327 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: the transition tag, whatever, you know, signing with another team, 328 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: whatever it is, Like, I'll see where I land. 329 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: Then. 330 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: Now the flip side of that is he could say, 331 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: if I get a decent offer, like something that I'm 332 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: comfortable with short term whatever, Like when you're running back 333 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: and you see a bunch of talented running backs just 334 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: sitting on the open market, and you have a contract 335 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: offer on the table, he might say, you know what, 336 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: I'll take the money when it's there. Yeah, And like 337 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: he wants a little security stability right now. You know, 338 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: if he wants a contract right now depends on how 339 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: bad he wants it right now. If he wants a 340 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: really bad right now, then I think that maybe they 341 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: can find a number, you know. But that's the long 342 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: way of saying I don't expect that it's gonna happen 343 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: before the season starts. I think that like it could 344 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: happen during the season. Maybe he's balling out and really healthy, 345 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: and in December the Ravens so like, yep, you're the dude. 346 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna commit whatever to three year contract whatever it is, like. 347 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: We're gonna pay then. 348 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: But I just don't see it happening before because I 349 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: think JK wants to prove what he's got to get 350 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: a bigger. 351 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: Offer right Yeah. 352 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 3: I think it's a very complicated negotiation. We talked with 353 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 3: Jeff's Rebeck from The Athletic recently, and you know, he 354 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 3: said he felt like wouldn't be surprised that the two 355 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 3: sides have talked and so, which is encouraging in that 356 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: in the sense that you know, if you're not talking, 357 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 3: that's when that when when the problems occur. The other 358 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 3: thing I would say too on this front. One thing 359 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 3: I learned. I don't know that I learned it, but 360 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 3: I think it was the point was driven home and 361 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 3: watching the Lamar Jackson contract negotiations play out, is that 362 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 3: you can't always read too much in to the notion 363 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: of things being like bad during negotiations, like and so 364 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 3: like if Jake, you know, JK is not on the 365 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 3: field during many camp like and he puts out the 366 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: tweets about how he wants to be a Raven for 367 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: the rest of his career and it's kind of cryptic, 368 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 3: and you know, and you're not sure what's happening behind 369 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: the scenes and what prompted that, and so like, it's 370 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: just I can't put too much stock into anything that 371 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 3: like and what that means long term. Like, you know, 372 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 3: at the owners meetings when Lamar put out the trade 373 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: to request, no one was saying, like, all right, looks 374 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 3: like the deal is getting done anytime sometimes soon, Like 375 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 3: no one felt like that at that that point, you know, 376 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: So I say all that just to say that, like 377 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 3: you never know what's happening behind the scenes. It's always 378 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 3: it's always there's always a small group of people that 379 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: are truly in the know on that front for sure. 380 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 3: And with JK, like the running back market is just 381 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 3: so difficult, So like, would he take a deal similar 382 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: to what Gus Edwards signed? So Gus signed a three year, 383 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 3: twelve million dollar contract, reportedly he's going into the last 384 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 3: year of that. Would he sign a deal like that? 385 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: Because if he would, like, okay, like that to me 386 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: would be something that would be intriguing. But JK maybe 387 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 3: thinking that he should get a much bigger deal and 388 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 3: that he wants to go and sign a one of 389 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 3: the big contracts. 390 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: Well, the question is, like, are there any big contracts 391 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: that you had out there? You know, Like Dalvin Cook's 392 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: been pretty darn good. Nobody's offered him a big deal yet, Like. 393 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 3: Right now now before getting cut, he Dalvin Cook signed 394 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 3: a five year, sixty three million dollar contract and then 395 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 3: by all accounts, he basically lived up to it. I 396 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: mean he's been a thousand yard rusher every season, Yeah, 397 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 3: and they'd just cut him. 398 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: Yep. 399 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: So I think that like sa Quon Barkley hasn't gotten 400 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: paid the franch tag is also an option there at 401 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 3: the running back position. And so if JK would to 402 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: play out the season and the Ravens want to keep 403 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: him and he could potentially they could use the franchise 404 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 3: tag and that's a very affordable number. 405 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: Well if they use the transition tag, it's even more 406 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: affordable too. They could use a transition tag then, and 407 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: then you're basically saying, well, then he has the ability 408 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: to sign for a with another team. Uh, and you 409 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens wouldn't get any conversation back. But like in 410 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: a slow running back market, maybe nobody else does the 411 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: eye that you know, like the Ravens might have the 412 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: best offer, right. 413 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 3: Right, So it's complicated, Like it's just it's just challenging there. 414 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: My gut says that that JK probably plays it out, 415 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 3: and I think the best way for him to probably 416 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: get that big payday that he's looking for is to 417 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 3: go out there and have a monster season. Now to 418 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: your point, like, is the big payday around the corner, 419 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, we'll see. I think that even if 420 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: it were to be a franchise tag, that's still much 421 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: bigger pay day than he's got up to this point. 422 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 3: Of his career. So that's a big race. It's a 423 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 3: big race if you were to go down to get 424 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 3: that And if JK goes out there and balls out 425 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: and has a monster season, shows everybody this knee injury 426 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 3: that everybody's worried about. That's the think of the past 427 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 3: fully recovered. I've got all my agility. 428 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: I've got that top top five running all. 429 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: Those things, like I'm one of the best running backs 430 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 3: in the league. Then like he's going to get a deal, 431 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 3: Like he's going to get a contract offer. I think, 432 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: like there are running backs that get paid, and so 433 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 3: if all those things happen, then I think JK Dobams 434 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 3: could be one of those guys that gets paid. And 435 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: I'm with you, like I love the guy. I've been 436 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 3: watching him since he was at o Higo State and 437 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 3: thought he's a fantastic running back, you know, from his 438 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 3: freshman year college. I just think he's a special running back, 439 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 3: and so I hope it works out for him to 440 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 3: be here for a long time. But I think that 441 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 3: if I'm guessing right now, I think that probably is 442 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: something that sorts itself out after the season. 443 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Or late in the season or late in seasons Ravens 444 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: are certainly no strangers to late season extensions. 445 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: Last year, they did it with rokwand they did it 446 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 3: with Ronnie Stanley in the middle season. He did with 447 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: Marlon Humphrey in the middle season, they did with Marcus Peters. 448 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 3: So like they did with Pat McCarey. 449 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: Like, there's a. 450 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 3: Bunch of guys that they've done middle of the season 451 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 3: extensions with. So I don't think you can rule that 452 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: out of you. I think it's a good point, yep. 453 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: I you know, Patrick Queen obviously is another one. I 454 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: almost put it. I think that Patrick and JK are 455 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: in very similar situations except remove all the question marks 456 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: about the inside linebacker market, you know, like it's not 457 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: the same as the running back market. Inside the linebackers 458 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: have been getting paid recently, you know, people not too 459 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: long ago. I think we're saying, oh, it's not a 460 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: sexy position and blah blah blah. Well some ins on 461 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: linebackers again contracts and U Roquan being at the top 462 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: of that right now. So I think that Patrick Queen, 463 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, everything that we just said about JK, love him. 464 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: Think he's a great player, He's a great fit next 465 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: to Rokwan. You know, when Rokwan can gobble up a 466 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: bunch of tackles and just let Patrick Queen make plays, 467 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: like dude, just fast. He's he's just a really good player. 468 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: I mean, he makes plays. That's what you want in 469 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: the NFL. And but it's hard to pay two guys, 470 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: not impossible, you know. Did the Ravens just say we're 471 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: gonna have the best inside linebacker duo for the next 472 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: whatever four or five years? Maybe, you know, I think 473 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: he's another guy that plays plays this year out if 474 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: the Ravens can you know, if you're going to use 475 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: the franchise tag on one of those guys, if you're 476 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: getting too late in the year and both of them 477 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: we're having fantastic seasons, you can't use the franchise tag 478 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: on both, you know, then you'd want to come to 479 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: a deal with one of them, or they're just gonna 480 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: hit their market, which could happen too, you know, and 481 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: you get whatever a compick back if you lose them. 482 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: So I think that's how it probably plays out with PEQ. 483 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. The obviously the other big difference, maybe the 484 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 3: biggest with p Q compared to JK is it's just 485 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 3: there's no, there's not the injury question. 486 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: The other big sorry, the other big difference is with 487 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: p Q is the guy playing next to him already 488 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: got a huge contract with Jake. 489 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, j The situations are nothing awake, Yeah, I 490 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: mean running back. 491 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: You know, Gus is entering the final years his contract. 492 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: Justice Hill's on one year. The Ravens don't have anybody 493 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: beyond this year. 494 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: So honestly, if they lose JK and Gus and whatever 495 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: Justice is up to, like, you're looking at a twenty 496 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: twenty four running back makeover, completely. 497 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: Right, and you want to be in that situation. Yeah, 498 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: the roster composition between the two positions is very different 499 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 3: for sure. 500 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 2: Running back this year they drafted Trenton Simpsons. 501 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's gonna be difficult to pay Patrick Quin. 502 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 3: As much as I think the guy is a really 503 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: good player, I think it's gonna be just. I think 504 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough. I think that he's, you know, 505 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 3: one of the better inside linebackers in football, and he's 506 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 3: looking for a deal that will compensate him at that level. 507 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 3: I'm not ruling it out like at all, but I 508 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 3: just think it's it's gonna be difficult, and so I 509 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 3: think that he probably like the way he's looking at it. 510 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: He I think he probably wants to play it out 511 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 3: because I think that he to go out there and 512 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 3: show everybody, I'm one of the best linebackers in the 513 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 3: game and I deserve a contract as such. 514 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 2: Yep. 515 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 3: Maybe that's here in Baltimore and maybe that's elsewhere, Like 516 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 3: this is this is a year for him to show everybody. 517 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: Like when we had Roquwan Smith on the lounge, we 518 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: talked to him about this and he he said, like, 519 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 3: at the end of the year, I expect Patrick Queen 520 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: to be a very happy man, whether he gets a 521 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: franchise tag or whether he ends up getting a contract 522 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 3: with another team. Like he's going to go out there 523 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: and show everybody that he's one of the best linebackers 524 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 3: in football, and that I think is motivating to him. 525 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 3: So that is how I expect it to play out. 526 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 3: And then I think basically it becomes a question at 527 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 3: that point whether the Ravens have the cat room to 528 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 3: keep both him in Roquan long term. 529 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: Yep. I agree. So the the other guy that will 530 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 2: be up for extension, as you mentioned, Kevin Zeitler, you. 531 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: Know, here's a player who has been really one of 532 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: the better Ravens free agent signings in recent history. 533 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: You know, not a. 534 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: Contract that totally broke the bank. Very steady, reliable. 535 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 3: Year, three year, twenty two million dollar contract that he 536 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: signed going into the twenty twenty one season. 537 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, pretty good deal. You know. 538 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 1: It's played really well, been very consistent, been a leader, 539 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: just everything that. 540 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 2: You want from Kevin Zeitler. And so he's a player 541 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 2: who's been on kind of the AFC North Tour for 542 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: his career. 543 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: He's started out with the Bengals or the Browns. Bengals 544 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: I believe right then Browns then Ravens. He better not 545 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: become a Steeler. I'll just say that right now. I 546 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: think I think he's a great candidate. I don't really 547 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: see him being a guy that's like pressing the issue 548 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: to get a deal done before you know, the season starts. 549 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: I think that he's a player that. 550 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: Probably could be a great candidate, like for another December deal, 551 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: like we're talking about for an extension. 552 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: Like yeah, you know, he's. 553 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: Healthy, playing well again, and you know, happy Ravens are 554 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 1: winning a bunch of games. 555 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: Bang bang bang dubb subs dubs and then you know. 556 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: Just everything's going well, and Kevin Zeitler says, yeah, I 557 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: want to be here for you know, two three more 558 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: years or whatever it is. You know, like a guy 559 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: who indicated he has no intentions on retiring anytime soon, 560 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: nor should he. And so I do see Kevin Zeitler 561 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: remaining a Raven beyond twenty twenty three. I just don't 562 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: think that deal probably, I don't think there's a massive 563 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: rush on that deal. 564 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I think that makes a lot 565 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 3: of sense. And I think that with Zeitler, you know, 566 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: when you get to this stage of your career, he 567 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 3: kind of has to which he's given no indication that 568 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 3: he wants to hang him up anytime soon, but he's 569 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: going into his twelfth season, so you know, that's a 570 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 3: lot of miles and so you know, I think that 571 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 3: as he goes through a season now, I think if 572 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: the Ravens were to offer him a nice deal, he 573 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 3: would say, yeah, I plan a plan five more. You know, 574 00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: I'll give me that five year deal. You know, I 575 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: think that, But I think that you do have to consider, 576 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: you know, how much longer you want to keep playing. 577 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 3: And so I think that's probably a factor. But if 578 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 3: he's playing at the level that he is, like I 579 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 3: think that he's got he's showing no signs with slowing down. 580 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 3: So I can see, I can see you tack on 581 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: two more, you know, Alsodden, it's October November. He's playing well, 582 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 3: and then you tack on two more and work out, 583 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 3: and he's a leader on this team, Like he's a 584 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 3: leader on that offensive line. So I feel good about 585 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 3: ze Eiler, And I don't think that's a deal that 586 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: would be, you know, so massive that it's going to 587 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 3: completely change your salary cap or anything like that. Let's 588 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 3: take a quick let's take a quick break, and then 589 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 3: we'll come back and give you our final thoughts on 590 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 3: some of these moves.

All right, So you had another thought there 602 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: on the Zeitler offensive line front, Well, I. 603 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: Was gonna flip it to the other side. 604 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: I think two players that aren't getting talked about a 605 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: whole lot in terms of contract extensions would be Broaderick 606 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: Washington and Justin Madabike To two defensive linemen going into 607 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: their the fourth and final year of the rookie deals. 608 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't rule either of those guys out for 609 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: an extension before the season is up. Probably again, I 610 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: just I don't see an extension right now. Maybe Madabka 611 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,959 Speaker 1: before before the season started, I would, but I doubt it. 612 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: I think there are again two players who you know. 613 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: Come December, maybe you work out a deal with one 614 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: with both who knows. 615 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: You know? Just both guys. 616 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: Brodick Washington, being a Day three pick, has really come 617 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: into his own and it's gonna be even better this year. 618 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm a big Brody fan, and Justin Madabikue is a 619 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: guy who we've all seen. 620 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 2: I mean, the talent is there. 621 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: I think five and a half sacks last year, Like, 622 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: could he be a breakout kind of player, you know, 623 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: getting more pass rush opportunities with Klay's not here anymore. 624 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: I think that he's a player also that could get 625 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: a pretty sizable deal on the market. Maybe the Ravens 626 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: can you know, be the people who don't let them 627 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: get to the market. 628 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, like those guys, I mean, Brogerck Washington, really 629 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: both of them, like they have. It's kind of like 630 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: when Michael Pierce left and ends up getting a nice deal, 631 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 3: like Progerick in particular, like late round pick Michael Pierce's undrafted, 632 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: plays really well, blossoms and then gets a nice contract. 633 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: And we've seen that with plenty of players over the years. 634 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: Yep. 635 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 3: But sometimes it's just nice to keep him in house. 636 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 3: If you feel really good about the players that you have, 637 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 3: just keep him in house. As we're doing this podcast 638 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 3: and realize that we've now signed every player. 639 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: In the middle of the season, it's gonna be it's 640 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: gonna be busy December, We're gonna be We're we're able 641 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 2: to enjoy the beach. 642 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 3: You know, nothing happening while we're at the beach. But uh, 643 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 3: once October rolls around, they're gonna have different contracts signed. 644 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 3: It's gonna be the contract signing press conference every other 645 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 3: week and then we just throw in one other one. 646 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 3: This is you know, this is kind of a wild 647 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 3: This is a wildcard. But I think that and there's 648 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 3: lots of questions here in terms of how it plays out. 649 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 3: But you know, one of the that's interesting. You know, 650 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 3: Odell Beckham's on a one year deal. 651 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking about this. 652 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Odell Beckham Junior is on a one year contract. 653 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 3: And and when the Ravens did the contract uh press conference, 654 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 3: the signing press conference, Eric the Costa reference at that 655 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,239 Speaker 3: press conference like they would like him. You know, they 656 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: got him here on a one year deal, and you know, 657 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 3: hopefully it could be even longer than that. And I 658 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 3: think that if Odell comes here, by all accounts, he's 659 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 3: really liked it here. He's fitting great in the locker room, 660 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: he's fitting great with the organization. There's been nothing but 661 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 3: great things said on both sides. If he comes in 662 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 3: here and the team's winning, he loves the role that 663 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: he plays in the offense and everything continues to be positive. 664 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 3: You know, maybe they say, let's just make this a 665 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 3: long term stop and similar. It's just like what happened 666 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 3: with Marcus Peters. You know, Marcus Peters was a guy 667 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 3: who came here in mid season trade and then a 668 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 3: few weeks go by and then he ends up getting 669 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: a contract. Ro Quand Smith the same thing. 670 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: So when the Ravens kind of left the door open 671 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: a little bit to that with Odell because you know, 672 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: there was reported four void years in his contract right right, 673 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: which helped bring his cap number down for this year, 674 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: reportedly under four million for this year. But if they 675 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: do bring him back for future seasons, it kind of 676 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: helps with that whole pro rate of bonus and all 677 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: that stuff. 678 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: Like the void years, there's a. 679 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: You know, we'd have to bring on Brian McFarlane the 680 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: salary to really break this down, but there's a benefit 681 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: if they do end up reuniting with him beyond this year. 682 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. So that's just an interesting one, Like, you know, 683 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 3: I have no idea what that would look like and 684 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 3: how long and how much. Lots of questions there based 685 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 3: on how the season plays out. But I think that 686 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: if you're looking at it from a perfect world standpoint, 687 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 3: you and the Ravens think that Odell Beckham could have 688 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: a huge season, like they think he could be Odell 689 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 3: Beckham from a few years ago and have a monster year. 690 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 3: And if that's the case, well then yeah, you would 691 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 3: like to have him here for the long haul. And 692 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: if Odell has a resurgence season this year, then he 693 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 3: may say this is just the place that I want 694 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 3: to be. Love playing with Lamar, got my quarterback here 695 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 3: long term, love the organization, and that would be a 696 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 3: you know, that would be a pretty nice December press 697 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 3: conference to go along with all the all the other 698 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 3: ones that we scheduled here on the spot. 699 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: For sure, absolutely so everybody, it's everybody's coming back. 700 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: Everybody's coming back. What's here? Here we go. I got 701 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: one for you, g what's the mid season trade deadline acquisition? 702 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 2: What position? And who is it? Who is it? 703 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 3: I don't know who I know, I'm not even gonna 704 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 3: give you. Ah. 705 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 2: That is a great one. 706 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, Eric Edc is gonna keep some 707 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: money in reserve so that he has the ability to 708 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: do that. Plus the Ravens are looking like they're gonna, 709 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, probably get some comp picts. 710 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: Next year, they're gonna be in better draft picks situation 711 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 2: where they'll have a little more ammunition. 712 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 3: Well, and and the Ravens, like Tacosta has proven he 713 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 3: is not afraid to make a splash signing in the 714 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 3: middle of the season. No Ar speeders at the top 715 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 3: of that list. 716 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: So what position, buddy, That is a great question. I don't. 717 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 2: I guess a lot of it's injury related. I know 718 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 2: that's the thing. 719 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 3: It's like, am I predicting an injury, which I don't 720 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 3: want to do. I guess if I were to, if 721 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 3: I were to point to a spot, I would go corner. 722 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: I was going past rusher. 723 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I go back to what I said like 724 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 3: at the start of this, I think that they will 725 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 3: add a corner and so maybe they end up, you know, 726 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 3: making a mid season acquisition to add some depth there, 727 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 3: if they end up not getting somebody, you know, before 728 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 3: the season starts, or they want to add another top 729 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 3: end player there, or if they were to have an 730 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 3: injury there. It's hard to keep corners healthy all season long. 731 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 3: They get nicked up at times. So I guess I 732 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 3: would go cornerback. 733 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm going pass rusher, all right, they're going back the 734 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: Yanique trade you know, didn't didn't work out as well 735 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: as hoped going back to the Well, gonna do that 736 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: one and get do a bulligan on that one. This 737 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: time it's gonna be the big splash, puts it over 738 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: the top. Dope dope dope, the size them. 739 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 2: Up trade, all right? I like I like that. I 740 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 2: like that. 741 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 3: So uh, we love hearing from you guys, sending your 742 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 3: emails us uh every week.
