Speaker 1: all right, bud a who biggest news in the week.

Speaker 1: Full of Saint almost steak, Yeah, Santa Loo's steak and

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: from Cocktail, back from the Combine, back from Little Vaca.

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Not much has happened, you know what's been going on? Yeah,

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: not a whole lot. Pretty slow. My vacation, my vacation

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: days of like selecting days. It remains undefeated, undefeated guys'

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: biggest days in franchise history of the guys, Like, Yeah,

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take this one off. Unbelievable. I think

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: I think I was out when Joe Flacco signed the

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: long term accession. Sounds about right. I was. I remember

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna go. Do you know sometimes we go

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: to like a Raven's roost and do like a Q

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: and A with with people. I was on my way

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: into or out of that when we got the news

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: to the Joe Flacco accession. I remember writing that story

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: from my laptop at an outside of pizzarri. Hey, maybe

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: maybe that'll happen again this year. There you go, there

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: you go. Anyway, some big news speaking of with Lamar

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Jackson and the non exclusive franchise tag. I had jameson

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Hensley on here for the last episode to talk about that,

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: but you know, it seems like every day there's new

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: developments with that. So first of all, let's get your

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: your opening take on that. You know, were you surprised

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: by the non exclusive of what were your feelings about that?

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: First of all, well, I don't think I was necessarily surprised,

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: as this process has gone on over the course of

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the last I mean really two years, but over the

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: past month it seemed, especially in talking at the Combine,

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: like it seemed like the wind was moving in that direction.

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: And you know, then all of a sudden, since that happened,

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: all the teams that you would think that could potentially

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: be in the market have reportedly indicator that they aren't

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: in the market. I know we're going to talk about that,

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: whether that's that's been development since Jamison I y Spookum,

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: But I think that like going with a non exclusive tagum,

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: it gives the Ravens more caperm to play with. If

38
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: you listen to the episode when we had Brian McFarlane on,

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: the exclusive tag really puts the Ravens in a bond

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: from a salary cap standpoint for this year. I mean,

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: you're you're talking about cutting guys. You do not want

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: to cut UM in order to start the number under

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: the cap. And so I think that like from a

44
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: salary cap standpoint, it makes sense there's risk. It's not

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: like a risk free scenario UM, but that that enhanced

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: rasculated risk. It's a calculator risk about thirteen million dollars.

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the difference between the two numbers. There

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: are two tags, and so there's more differences too, the

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, the ability for somebody else to potentially to

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: negotiate a contract that the Ravens and Lamar haven't been

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: able to reach in two years. Yeah and so and

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: so basically like now other teams could talk to Lamar

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: if you know, regardless of what they say in reports

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: right now, other teams could talk to Lamar, and you

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: see what the market bears at this point, and the

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: benefit of it is still that the Ravens have final

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: say to a certain extent, they have the ability to match.

58
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: So unless somebody draws up an offer sheet that they

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: can if someone puts someone offer that they can't match,

60
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: but you could ultimately then rework a whole bunch of

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: stuff to potentially try to get it to work. So

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: I still think that you have the final stay on

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: that to a certain extent, And I just think that,

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: like I think it's a it's a look, it's a risk.

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a calculated risk. I think it makes

66
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I think that the Ravens are

67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: in good position by doing that. I think that one

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: thing that has been clear. I think generally speaking, the

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Ravens have a really good feel for the market of things.

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: I think that eric's Costa has a good feel for

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: who's going to be available, the prices of players on

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: the free agent market. I think he has a great

73
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: feel for how the draft is going to fall, which

74
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: teems are interesting in which players, and so this is

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: probably an indication of that. I think that they probably

76
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: have a feel for what the market would be and

77
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: what it would look like. They have a feel for

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: what negotiation with Lamar Jackson like, yeah, you know, and

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: they've had obviously, you know, Eric de Costa has talked

80
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: about how difficult it's been, and so I think whoever

81
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: wants to negotiated deal with Lamar Jackson is in the

82
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: same shoes that Eric de Costa has been Yeah, so

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: he said it's been tough. So now if they want

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: to come with, you know whatever, if they come with

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: the what Lamar Jackson's looking for, it could be a

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: very short I don't know, of course, and that's and

87
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: that's you know, the great unknown here is the specifics

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: of what Lamar wants and the specifics of what the

89
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: Rabis have offered. Neither of those things have been made public, right,

90
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: So there's been a ton of people that are saying,

91
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, Lamar is seeking a fully guaranteed contract. Then

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: there was a Steven A. Smith report, you know that

93
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: somebody from his camp said no, we're not seeking a

94
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed contract, and then just seen Anderson responded by saying, well, no,

95
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a fully guaranteed contract. It's just as much,

96
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: if not more, fully guaranteed money than Deshaun Watson got.

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 1: Those are the reports, Yea, As we have said many times,

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: we don't know what's factual in there or not. There's

99
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: been a lot of stuff that has not been right, Yeah,

100
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: that's been said, so you don't know, but those are

101
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: the reports. So yeah, and I think that where it

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: goes like that is, I don't know where it ends

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: up landing. As it stands right now, it still looks

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: to me like I don't see it right now, looking

105
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: like Lamar is going to play elsewhere this year. It

106
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: still seems like he will be a Raven in twenty

107
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: twenty three and hopefully beyond. Well. As I said uh

108
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: when Jamison was on the podcast, I do think that

109
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: the non exclusive franchise tag makes it more likely that

110
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson will play in Baltimore in twenty twenty three

111
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: than the exclusive franchise, which is interesting. Which is the

112
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: which is interesting because I think the conventional wisdom was like, oh, well,

113
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: the national media, We're all like, whoa, You're gonna allow

114
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Lamar to negotiate with other teams, Like he's gone, He's gone.

115
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: That's like the national media. But quite frankly, I think

116
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: the national media has been off on this story for

117
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, you know, and locally, I think more

118
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: people were like, all right, now you know Lamar, you

119
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: can really look. There's a disagreement of what Lamar Jackson's

120
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: worth is between Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. They have

121
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: not come to an agreement on what his worth is

122
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: long term. Right now, the market can dictate more what

123
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: Lamar's worth. Now, I wouldn't say that that is necessarily

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: a true valuation because any team that signs Lamar Jackson

125
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: to a contract also has to give the Ravens two

126
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: first round picks, right, So that is factored into the value,

127
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: right and costs. Yeah, that's a cost. Two first round

128
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: picks is a lot yep. Right, Maybe it's less than

129
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people think the Ravens should get for

130
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson based on the amazing talent that he is,

131
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: but it's still two first round pick. And if it's

132
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: one of the teams picking in top ten, that's a

133
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: valuable that's a very valuable pick, right, So like any

134
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: team that offers him an offer sheet is factoring that

135
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: into the equation as well. But that would also be

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: the case when the Broncos traded for Russell Wilson total

137
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: last year, or a team that's trading for Aaron Rodgers.

138
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: If the Jets end up trading for Aaron Rodgers, the

139
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: big differences there are what that quarterbacks contract was at

140
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: the time and what they're seeking, right. I mean, any

141
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: team that's going to draw up an offer sheet for

142
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has certainly heard the reports of what he's

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: looking for, right, and then when they whenever they enter

144
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: the conversations, they'll find out for themselves what Lamar is

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: looking for. So that's what I think. You know, if

146
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: some teams are just saying, look, I'm not willing to

147
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: spend that much guaranteed money or whatever, then they might

148
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: not write up an offer sheet, right because you have

149
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: to get to that threshold plus the two first round picks. Yeah,

150
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, when we're talking about of course,

151
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: teams who don't have a very good quarterback right now,

152
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: of course they should be interested in Lamar Jackson. He's

153
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Yeah, absolutely,

154
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: they should be interested in having him as their guy.

155
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: The question is is the cost worth it? Right, And

156
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: it's not just the contractual cost and the reporter guarantee

157
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: money that Lamar is seeking cost. It's also the two

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: first round picks cost. So it's an expensive proposition if

159
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna drop up an offer sheet and actually get

160
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson or your team. Now, he's awesome, it's one

161
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: of the best yea. So you know, and we've seen

162
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks recently Deshaun Watson, like, you know, uh Russell Wilson,

163
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: like teams give up a mountain of resources to get him. Right,

164
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: didn't really work out well for the Broncos this year. Yeah,

165
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it really worked out for the Browns either, Yeah, right,

166
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: And I just I wonder if those case studies last

167
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: season are make giving more teams pause to say, do

168
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: we want to go down that road or do we

169
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: want to just spend this high top ten pick on

170
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback and who's gonna be way cheaper and

171
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: take our chances? They take our chances there. Yeah, I

172
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: think I think like had Russell Wilson had an amazing year,

173
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, like Tom Brady. Right, So a few years ago,

174
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady goes to Tampa Bay. They were on the

175
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: cusp of what they had, this great defense, you had

176
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and boom they win a Super Bowl. Now

177
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: everybody's like, you know what if I feel like I'm

178
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: a quarterback away, if I had this good team and

179
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I add the quarterback, I win a Super Bowl. So

180
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: they're willing to give up the Broncos or we give

181
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: up an arm in the leg to get Russell Wilson

182
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: because they think that puts him over the top. Now,

183
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: the most recent, the most recent evidence is maybe that

184
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: isn't the most wise financial decision for your club. Yeah,

185
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: and it changes in a hurry. I mean you left

186
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: out Matthew Stafford. Us made the trade and they win

187
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with him exactly, but they're paying for

188
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: it now. They're in a backtoyller cap situation. They don't

189
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: have any first round picks to climb out, and those

190
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are all unique. You know. Lamar Jackson is twenty

191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: six years old, unanimous MVP, so like he has way

192
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: more cred you know, at a way better stage of

193
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: his career than Russell Wilson is. Yeah, you know, and

194
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: he didn't have all the all field stuff that Deshaun

195
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: Watson's beau was, right, So like we're talking about a

196
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: different level of player here, right, And and that's how

197
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: some team might be looking at me and like, yeah,

198
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm willing to give up all of that, the two

199
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: first round picks and the contract because this is Lenark Jackson, right,

200
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: Especially well, especially when you look and you consider that

201
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson went from more you know,

202
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: they went for far more than two first round picks,

203
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: so you would think that the market would be there, right,

204
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: But at this point, all the reports are that it's

205
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: not going to be the Panthers, the Raiders, the Falcons.

206
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: The Falcons were the team most widely linked to the

207
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: Ravens Commands, the Commanders, and the Dolphins are all saying no, right, nah, Now,

208
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: I will put this out there right now. Is I

209
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: don't believe eve. I take all that with a grain

210
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: of salt. Yeah, all of that with a grain of salt.

211
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: How many times have we seen or herd a team

212
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: say yeah, we love we love our quarterback, we love

213
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: our quarterback. Now we're not in the quarterback market in

214
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: the draft, and then they trade up ten picks and

215
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: take a quarterback, like you can't sit there and dog

216
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: on your current quarterback. And because if you don't get

217
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, now you have a quarterback that you just said, nah,

218
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: we're looking for somebody else. Yeah right, I mean that's

219
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: the situation the Brown's got into with Baker Mayfield a

220
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: couple of years. Last year, last year, Yeah right, they

221
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: basically we're like, yeah, we're interested in de Shaun Watson.

222
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: We're exploring that, and then it didn't look like he

223
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: was gonna reject them, and Baker Mayfield was like, oh, oh, okay,

224
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I went out too. Yeah, exactly. And

225
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: then they had to push all the chips at the

226
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: center of the table to get de Shaun Watson. Yeah,

227
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: they had to go over the top to make sure

228
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: they were left in a predicament with no quarterback. So

229
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: anytime you hear teams were leaking through reporters that they're

230
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: not interested blah bla blah blah blah, maybe it's true.

231
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: They might also be calling the saying that to some

232
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: reporter then calling the Ravens to say, you got Lamar

233
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: Jackson summer. Yeah, I'd like to negotiate with him, yes,

234
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: starting March fifteenth. So I just think, you know, there

235
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: are the reports that the Raiders were out, and then

236
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Diana Rassini like twelve hours later was like, nah, raiders

237
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: are in. Well, I mean, look, I mean things changed drastically.

238
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, using the Falcons as the example, there was

239
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: one report that said the trade talks heated up at

240
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: the combine between the were they were, and then like

241
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: an hour later it was the Falcons are not in

242
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: the mixt So like there's gonna be reports all over

243
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: the place, and it's kind of it's really not that

244
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: much different than what we've seen with Lamar. This is

245
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: one offer, this is another offer. You know he wants

246
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed, he doesn't want fully guaranteed. It's like all

247
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: these different offer all these different reports that are out there,

248
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: and it's what the truth is exactly. Just don't know

249
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: what to believe. And anytime you're talking about a deal

250
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: of such magnitude, any team that wants to pursue Lamar Jackson,

251
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: that's a massive deal, and you don't want to actually

252
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: signal your true intentions to any other team and getting

253
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: a bidding war with them or whatnot. Yeah, right, you

254
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: want to play it cool and you want to be like, nah,

255
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: not interested. You know, I've seen some people suggest that

256
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: with a non exclusive tag that basically that kind of

257
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: forces the rest of the league to set the market,

258
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, in a public in a public setting, to

259
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: say like, all right, here's my offer sheet. You know,

260
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: anybody else got one, and or we guarantee that their

261
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: offer sheet's going to get out. Well, if he was,

262
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: if Lamar's gonna consider it, right, I mean, if he's

263
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: going to sign it, then yes, right, but if he's

264
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: just considering it, they might have the same deal with

265
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson that we don't divulge what out there, and

266
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: you don't divulge what we put out there. And potentially,

267
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: but I think that, like I think that the argument

268
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: I've seen some people make is basically that this puts

269
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: this makes the rest of the league set the market. Yeah,

270
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: the Raids have have put deals out there, none of

271
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: them have been accepted. Now, okay, everyone else, you guys

272
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: can set the market. Yeah, and we'll see what that

273
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: market dictates. Yeah, And I don't know what it ultimately

274
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: will dictate. I think you know, time will tell. Also,

275
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: I think the other thing that's interesting here is the

276
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: timing of it. Like free agency opens next week, so

277
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to happen by next week. It wouldn't

278
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: happen by next week. They can't even negotiate until the

279
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: new league you're opens well, and then the Ravens have

280
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: five days the match or not right and so, But

281
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: like teams, so if you let's even say you're a

282
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: team and you have get Lamar Jackson to sign up

283
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: offer sheet, you just come at them and say, basically

284
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: with a blank check, we'll give you whatever you want.

285
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: We'll give me the contract you want. We're gonna be

286
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson plus money. Yeah, right, you sign them. Well,

287
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens have five days to decide, So you're sitting

288
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: out the first five days of free agency while you're

289
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: waiting on an answer potentially from the Ravens. Yeah, they

290
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: can take all five of those days, they can take

291
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: them one hour, yes. Yeah. And and for these teams,

292
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: like obviously, clearing that space under your cap impacts as

293
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens are in this situation, how you're going to

294
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: approach free agency, right, so does the teams. I think

295
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: that could also be a factor in terms of whether

296
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: teams are going to be interested. It's like you have

297
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: to kind of make that decision without knowing how it's

298
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: going to play outright, and then you can sit out

299
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: free agency and be left with nothing. Right, there's risk

300
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: there too, for all these reasons. That's why I think

301
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: that there's a high barrier to entry here. I don't

302
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: think it's going to be easy for another team to

303
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: get Lamar Jackson signed to an offer sheet. And I

304
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: think there's a pretty decent chance, despite how good a

305
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: player Lamar Jackson is and how many teams he would benefit,

306
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty decent chance that he does

307
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: not sign an offer sheet period, that a deal doesn't

308
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: come his way that he wants that's better than the

309
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: Ravens offer, let's say, or that you know, even a

310
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of teams even formally submit an offer to him

311
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: because because they don't want to give up that man

312
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: much guarantee money plus two first round picks, plus sit

313
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: out the first five days of free agency, plus clear

314
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: all the cap space that it's required. Whatever. Yeah, And

315
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look, another teams negotiate with him. You have

316
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: to go through all these negotiations with him. Another team

317
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: is also not going to make an all for this,

318
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: not like a serious offer. It's like, because you know

319
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: the right US just match that and he wouldn't sign.

320
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: It's like, well then then, well then the market is

321
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: not dictating what Lamar Jackson's terms are. Then if no

322
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: other team makes him an actual offer, I'm saying it's

323
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: only gonna be serious. It would only be serious offers.

324
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: So you're you're not like, I mean, look, I don't

325
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: think his phone won't ring. I mean, I think that

326
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna pick up and say, hey, what are you

327
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: looking for? Yea, um, But I'm just saying that when

328
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: it comes to actually making an offer, it's teams are

329
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: not going to waste his time or their own, or

330
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: it's they're not they're it's just not gonna If they

331
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: don't feel like they can make a serious offer, then

332
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to bother. Yeah, I would agree

333
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: with that. So I honestly just like I just I

334
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: say that I think there's a high barrier to entry here.

335
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: I also think it only takes one team who is

336
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback once Lamar Jackson and is willing to give

337
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: all that up. Is desperate enough for a quarterback. Desper's

338
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: not the right word. If you're passionate enough for that

339
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson, then you'll give what up what's required.

340
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: Ye The other thing I was gonna stay in timing

341
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: is that there's also a scenario in which it could

342
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: happen after the draft. And this is something that going

343
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: back to Brian McFarland, he's floated out there because the

344
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins are a team. They don't have a first round

345
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: pick this year, so right they're off. But after the draft,

346
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: then if something were to take place at that point,

347
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins seem to be committed to tah but

348
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: who knows, so, then that could happen after that point.

349
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: So then it would be a twenty twenty four and

350
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty five first round pick. And could this

351
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: be something that takes place after the draft once teams

352
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: realize this is our this is what we've drafted, this

353
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: is how we've played free agency, and so that's an

354
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: interesting dilemma as well. This is well, I don't think

355
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: that dilemma. I don't think that works out very well

356
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. If if I'm the Ravens, I want

357
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: to have it. Have it happened before the draft, so

358
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: you have clarity. Well you have clarity, and you have

359
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: the potential to draft a quarterback at but it may

360
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: not potentially be up to them. I mean, if a

361
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: team comes through with an offer sheet after the draft,

362
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: then that's the timing of it. That's something that I

363
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: know that has been floated out there. Could that be

364
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: it an avenue? And so like, when is this going

365
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: to be resolved? I think a lot of people want

366
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: to know that. I don't know. I don't know that

367
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: this is something that, Yeah, their possibility here is that

368
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens reach a long term deal that still exists

369
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 1: as well, exactly like he may say, you know what,

370
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: let's just do the deal. To my point of, you know,

371
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: if the market is is quiet for Lamar, right because

372
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: of what knowing what it's going to take to get

373
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: it done and all these things you just talked about, well,

374
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: then he could come back to the Ravens and say,

375
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: you know what, Yes, I'm I'm willing to take the

376
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: best offer. You had the best offer on the table,

377
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm willing to take that now right, Or

378
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: they meet somewhere in the middle, or or he just

379
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: plays under the tech for a year at thirty two

380
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: point four million. There's the options, yeah, right, And you

381
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: know then for the Ravens, obviously it's a great thing.

382
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: You have Lamar Jackson on the field again in twenty

383
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: twenty three, plus a stack defense like let's ride. You know,

384
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: but you're in this same situation again all season long

385
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: with us hanging over their heads and Lamar's head, and

386
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: you're back in this same boat again next offseason. Yeah,

387
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: it's just kicking you can now right, you can franchise

388
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: him again, and it's still a relatively according to the

389
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: quarterback market of cat friendly number for what Lamar Jackson is.

390
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, how far do you want to keep

391
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: kicking this can? It's the problem. Maybe you come to

392
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: a long term deal then or whatever. Yeah, right, but

393
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: like you know, and then you have the questions of

394
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: how much of the offseason practices and stuff does Lamar

395
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: participate in? If that's if he's playing on the tag

396
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: this year, you know, you're trying to install a new

397
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: offense under a Ton Bunkin. He already answered a question

398
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: about that. Not ideal, certainly, we don't know what Lamar

399
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: would do, but you know that's that's the possibility exists. Yeah,

400
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: Historically speaking, players who are on the franchise tag don't

401
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: participate in the officeas a program, and then until training

402
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: camp and then even some training camp is right, questionable,

403
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: would not be ideal. Some players even take it up

404
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: till regular season and miss games. You know, like that

405
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: is an option, that's what some players do. So like

406
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: the resolution here, like who knows when that is going

407
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: to take place? But I don't necessarily think it's like

408
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: it's just so funny it's like, oh, it'll be taken

409
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: care of, you know, by free agency. We'll know it'll

410
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: be taking care of by the draft. Maybe, you know,

411
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: it's like maybe right or this or that, or we

412
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: could be you know, flash forward a year from now

413
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: and it's March, you know, on the same couch me

414
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: and you talk about seeing almost after the combine, we're

415
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: having the same conversation. That possibility exists as well. I

416
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: will say this, Uh, one other point that I've been

417
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: thinking about recently is you know, there's a number of

418
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: people out there that say, well, two first round picks

419
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson just isn't enough because they're comparing it

420
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: to the Russell Wilson and the Shawn Watson dealson. And

421
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: I certainly understand that mar Jackson I is a better

422
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: player than both those guys and younger and clean field,

423
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: all that stuff, right, But the market dictates what that

424
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: price is going to be. There's other circumstances. I will

425
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: say that if the Ravens, the possibility I think exists

426
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: to get maybe more than two first round picks. The

427
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: only mechanism for doing that would be if another team

428
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: wants to sign him to an offer sheet. The Ravens say, uh, well,

429
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: we're just gonna match that, so you're not gonna get him.

430
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: And uh they say, well, if you don't want us

431
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: to match your offer sheet, then you're gonna have to

432
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: trade us more than two first rounds. I'm not sure

433
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: if they're I'm not Brian and farm would be the

434
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: guy if there's language in the CBA that does not

435
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: allow this. But now we're right, technically speaking. At any

436
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: time now, Lamar Jackson could sign the franchise take that

437
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: would put him under the Ravens control, which then they

438
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: are free to do whatever. They are free to trade

439
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: him to another team that he would want to go

440
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: to or that wants him, and you could potentially trade

441
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: him for more than two first round picks. Yeah, once

442
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: he signs a tag, that's a possibility. The Ravens have

443
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: said they. Eric's Costa has made it pretty clear multiple

444
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: times now that trade has not really entered his mind

445
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: his thinking. I genuinely think that the Ravens, the more

446
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: you hear from them, and the more that you hear

447
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: even reports from Ian Rappaport talking about all the different

448
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: ways the Ravens have tried to, you know, construct this

449
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: contract and that it's a really good contract offer. It's

450
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: a very high offer. I think the Ravens feel like

451
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: they have a very good offer on the table, is

452
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: what all the reports are into kid, And I think

453
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: they genuinely want him back. I think they genuinely want

454
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: him to go out on the market and if the

455
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: market doesn't bear that he's going to get whatever contract

456
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: he's looking for. They genuinely want him to come back

457
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: and sign a long term deal with him. Yeah, that's

458
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: what I think. I think the Ravens won him back.

459
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: I definitely think that that's the case. And you know,

460
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: based on that latest from Ian Rappaport like saying it'd

461
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: be far more than forty million dollars, like this is

462
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: big time. The comments, the comments about how how could

463
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones be making this and Lamar Jackson's making less

464
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: than Daniel Jones on an average per year is just asinine.

465
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's just a not a good

466
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: take because Lamar Jackson, we don't know what the contract is,

467
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: but you know, according to the end rapport, if he

468
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: signed it tomorrow, he'd be making far more than Daniel Jones.

469
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: And I believe that's probably be true. Yeah, so didn't.

470
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: We're going back aways here. But in terms of players

471
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: testing the market, ray Lewis did that. Yeah, I remember

472
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: the year that it was, but two thousand and six

473
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: or in that range. He went out there and testing

474
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: the market and flirted with the Cowboys, Right, wasn't that

475
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: like the main team that he was in the mix for? Ye,

476
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: and then ultimately determined all right, I want to stay

477
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. I think the deal from the Ravens was

478
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: the best deal that was on the table. It's certainly

479
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: not unheard of at all for two sides in a

480
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: free agency discussion, in a contract negotiation, certainly not unheard

481
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: of for them to have different opinions of what the

482
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: value is. Yeah, and then for them not to come

483
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: to agreement, and then for the team to say, Okay,

484
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: we haven't reached an agreement. Go out on the market

485
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: and see what you're worth. And then oftentimes or sometimes

486
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: they go out and they do get more than what

487
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens thought. That's c. J. Mosley. Let's just point

488
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: to that. Right. The Jets blew him out and just

489
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: gave him a ton of money. I think the Ravens

490
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: thought that there's a pretty decent shot. C. J. Mosley

491
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: might come back and sign resign with Baltimore. And there's

492
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of examples of a guy going out ray

493
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Lewis to your point, and the money isn't necessarily there,

494
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: or it's not there at a big enough difference from

495
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens offered to leave and they say, you know what,

496
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: I'll take that to deal. And then with ray Lewis,

497
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, that becomes kind of a forgotten point in

498
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: his legacy. So maybe that's what happens with Lamart's hope.

499
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: He goes out there and then they end up working

500
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: out a long term deal and he ends up staying

501
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. And then at one point we say, did

502
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: Lamar test the market? At one point happen exactly when

503
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: you're telling the Lamar Jackson story in twenty years and

504
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about all the Super Bowls that he's one

505
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: exactly and you say like, oh, yeah, that did happen, right, Yeah, totally.

506
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: And Lamar could also go out on the market, not

507
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: get the offer he's looking for and say I'm still

508
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: not gonna budge from my number, and I'm just gonna

509
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: play it on the tag and keep playing the tag

510
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: game and the market for quarterbacks will keep going up.

511
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna wait it out. He could say

512
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: that too, totally. All those scenarios exist. Yeah, yeah, I

513
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: have no idea which one we're gonna land on. I

514
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: just hope we land on the one that keeps Lamar

515
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Jackson in Baltimore for the longest, because I like watching

516
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: that gap peck. I'm glad we brought clarity to the situation.

517
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Brought no clarity, just brought a bunch of points. All right, Wait,

518
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: I have one more point about this before we move

519
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: on from the topic. You know, when we're talking about,

520
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: what are the teams that are going to be potentially

521
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: interested in Lamar Jackson? Okay, I've got two that I'm

522
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on now. Of course, all those Hawkins Raiders,

523
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: like I said, take it with a grain of salt,

524
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: they could be interested. The latest report from them is

525
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: that those teams, the Raiders, the Panthers, and who was

526
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: the other team, Houston are interested in Jimmy Garoppolo. Okay,

527
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: to me, what that tells me if that report is true,

528
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: which once again, we do not know if that is true,

529
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: that tells me they're looking for a bridge quarterback and

530
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: they're going to pick a quarterback early. Yeah, because when

531
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: you look at the teams that could be interested in

532
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, it might be a team that's in the

533
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: second half, the latter part of the draft, who thinks

534
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to get a rookie.

535
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: One of these rookie quarterbacks might make more sense. Yeah. Right.

536
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: If you're Houston, you're picking number two, you might say,

537
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: I'm not spending all that money. I'm just gonna take

538
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: Bryce Young or c J. Strout ye right, or Will

539
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: Levis or Anthony Richardson. Yeah right, like all of those teams.

540
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Now you just mentioned Carolina, Houston and the Raiders have

541
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: top ten picks. So that to me that if that's true,

542
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: that says they want to take a rookie quarterback and

543
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: also have a guy that whatever for the next year

544
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: or maybe too until that rookie is ready to take over,

545
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: you know. So so then this is the long in

546
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: the back half of the first round. I start looking

547
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: at the Jets and the Commanders. Well, the Jets obviously

548
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: are in the quarterback market. There's no secret there. I

549
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: Mean they talked to Derek Carr and as recording this

550
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 1: they had a visit with Aaron Rodgers exactly. That is

551
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: up in the era their desire to spend a lot

552
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: of money on a quarterback. I mean, Aaron Rodgers has

553
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: a fifty million dollars average previous like no secret that

554
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: the Jets are in the quarterback market. Rogers supposed to

555
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: be there right now, and anything can happen with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah,

556
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: that dude who knows right? Yeah, So like the Jets are.

557
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: I think it's just funny to think about, does the

558
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: whole Lamar situation is it going to boil down to

559
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: what happens with Aaron Rodgers? Does Aaron Rodgers hold the

560
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: keys to the lar Jack's situation? Kind of? I mean, honestly, Like,

561
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: but I talked to Ian Rappaport at the combine. He

562
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: made the point that, like there's some big some of

563
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: the big stories not prospect related, and one was where

564
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: does Aaron Rodgers go? Because that kind of has a

565
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: domino that effects the rest of the totally not just

566
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: a name that all. That's a big story that people

567
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: talk about, but like you know, in this quarterback market

568
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: and movement, where Aaron Rodgers goes could be that first

569
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: shoot to drop. Actually, Derek Carr really was Derek Carr

570
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 1: really was going not to the Jets. You know when

571
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: he goes to New Orleans. Now you have Aaron Rodgers

572
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: potentially going to the Jets. So yeah, I mean, if

573
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: if they don't get Aaron Rodgers the right if I

574
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: if I'm a Ravens fan, I am paying close attention

575
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: to the Aaron Rodgers situation. It's my point. And then

576
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: the Commanders are an interesting and they pick at number

577
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: sixteen have clearly a quarterback kneed. I think Sam Howell

578
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: is the guy they're saying right now is their number one.

579
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: And you know, are they a team that's willing to

580
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: give a fully guaranteed contract potentially? Um, you know Daniel Snyder,

581
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: there's all the talk about is he selling a team?

582
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: Is he not? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk just wrote, like,

583
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: the Commanders to him make the most sense of anybody

584
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: that it just makes too much sense that they would

585
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: get interested in. And you know, if Dan Snyder sells

586
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: a team, the contract is next guys. You know, whoever

587
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: buys the team, that's their contract basically. So that's another

588
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: I think interesting team to watch for as well. Yeah.

589
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I look like you said at one point here,

590
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of teams that would be

591
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: interested in Lamar Jackson totally obviously, So the idea of

592
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: either those teams being in the mix completely would be

593
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: unsurprised by that. I just the way I feel right now,

594
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: I still think he's going to be a Raven in

595
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. That's my gut, and hopefully it's much

596
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: longer than that. But that's that's the way I feel

597
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: right now, is that he will be back in Baltimore

598
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: this year. That is what that exactly looks like, is

599
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: that the tag is that a long term deal? Is

600
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: that a medium term deal? I mean that's something we

601
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: haven't really talked about. Could there be a world on

602
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: which you do a three year deal or something like that? Well,

603
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: I think that's from some of the Rappaport stuff about

604
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens have tried different yes, contracts, structures, That's what

605
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: I took from it. Yeah, do we do a fully

606
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: guaranteed three year deal? Right? You know that's another option,

607
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: and you know that could maybe well if that option

608
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: has already been on the table, that hasn't been the option.

609
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: No, No No, No, I'm just saying, like I think, when

610
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: you talk about long term deal, everyone's mind goes like,

611
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: all right, this is a five six Pats Holmes ten

612
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: year deal. But maybe there's a three you know, maybe

613
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: a world in which that would make sense too, I

614
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: don't know, would be surprising. Yeah, we don't. We don't

615
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: know what Lamar is looking for. We don't know if

616
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: it's he wants an you know, two hundred and thirty

617
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed as a baseline that much of money,

618
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: or whether it's more about I want a fully guaranteed

619
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: contract period, even if it's only one hundred and twenty

620
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: or whatever, one hundred and sixty whatever it is, right,

621
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: is he willing to the question? Is is Lamar willing

622
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: to sign a contract that I think is less than

623
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed? That's the question. Yeah,

624
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: we don't know. All right, We're gonna take a quick

625
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: break and we come back. We'll dive into some of

626
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: the other big topics of this week. Listeners. The sports

627
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: landscape is always changing. This week is no different. Draft

628
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: King is the leader in daily fantasy sports, and it

629
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: still has daily Fantasy contests running those who are looking

630
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: to have some skin in the game. Every player has

631
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: a salary associate with drafting them very important to sign

632
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: of the years we're talking about the salary cap. You

633
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: assemble a lineup of players while sitting under that salary cap,

634
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: and you try to watch your points pile up. Now

635
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: you know how to play donald the DraftKings app today.

636
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Sign up using the code flock. New users will get

637
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: a free answer with the first deposit. The code is

638
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: flock at DraftKings. Yep, So let's talk about you know,

639
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: the other big thing coming up obviously is free agency,

640
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: right and Lamar Jackson being on the non exclusive tag

641
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. Now, we all know what that number

642
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: is going to be. At least that's the highest the

643
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: number is going to be for the Ravens this year,

644
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: because you would think if you were to sign a

645
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: long term contract extension, the twenty twenty three cap number

646
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: would be lower than thirty two point four. Yeah, that's

647
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: generally how it works. Yeah. So now kind of there's

648
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: a picture which in which the Ravens can operate business,

649
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: right knowing that first domino kind of, Um, the Ravens

650
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: are currently nine million dollars about over the salary cap.

651
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: Thank you once again to Brian McFarland for all you

652
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: do and have to clear that salary cap space by

653
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: the time the new league year begins on March fifteenth

654
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 1: at four pm. So the Ravens have reportedly trade agreed

655
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: to a trade of Chuck Clark to the New York

656
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: Jets for a seventh round pick in twenty twenty four.

657
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: So that would be one step to get under that

658
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: salary cap that says about four point one. I think

659
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: that's correct. Yeah. Um, so there are other moves that

660
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: need to be made before we get into talking about that.

661
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: Let's just acknowledge what Chuck Clark has been for the

662
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: Ravens and what that trade means, because here's the former

663
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: sixth round pick out of Virginia Tech who has I'll

664
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: tell you, when you go back and look at all

665
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens late round picks, Chuck Clark's going to stand

666
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: out as one of the best, right if you're talking

667
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: day three, especially beyond round four. Yeah, I think him

668
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: and Judeon are probably June off to fifth, two of

669
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: the best. Yeah, two of the best. Yeah, you have

670
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: to really go back, I mean, uh, well stokely back

671
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: in the day. Who else was a really good one

672
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: was Tyrod Taylor? Six round picks. Yeah, seriously, he's still

673
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: in the league, right. I think he was a backup

674
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: this year. I think he was a backup for the Giants. Yeah,

675
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: that was a yeah, I'm pulling up the Ravens draft

676
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: this story right now. Go ahead and talk about how

677
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: great look. Chuck Lark has been a really good player.

678
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a huge part in a lot

679
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: of wins. Somebody that was really well respected in this

680
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: locker room, knew everybody's role, the kind of the consummate professional.

681
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: Even last year, you know, he was upset about the

682
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: Ravens drafting Kyle Hamilton and signing Marcus Williams, and that

683
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: kind of left him as the odd man out, and

684
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: they were talking whether the raven to trade him last

685
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: year and um and all that. But then he showed

686
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: up and he participated throughout the offseason program and training

687
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: camp and he was just a total pro um and

688
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: played well. He played well, started every game last year.

689
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: So I think that Chuck Clark like this. At a

690
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: certain point, you find yourself in a situation where you

691
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: need to clear salary cap space the Ravens are at

692
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: that point. You also drafted a first round or with

693
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: fourteen though roll pick in Collin Hamilton, where you want

694
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: him to take on an even bigger role next year.

695
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: And so the timing just made sense to all, right,

696
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: time to move on, right. Chuck after the season ended,

697
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: kind of saw that this was certainly a possibility. You know,

698
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: he talked during the season about how uncertain about what

699
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: the future holds, and then at the end of the

700
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: year made it very clear that I may not be back, right,

701
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: and so I think there's disappointment and losing Chuck because

702
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: of all these meant to the team. Yeah, yeah, all.

703
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's super durable, it's played every single defense

704
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: to snap the past three years. He just like you,

705
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: He's somebody you could count on, right and in a

706
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: lot of different ways. Losing players like that is stuff,

707
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: But that's like the hard economics of the game. Yeah, totally.

708
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: Another great late round pick that we didn't mention, the

709
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Dahlias Thomas sixth round pick. Was that ninety seven that

710
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: was in two thousand. Okay, uh yeah, I mean that

711
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: that that might that might take the cake. That's a

712
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: that's a very good one. Yeah, we're going back to

713
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: Sam Cook one. Sam Cook. Yeah, Dwan Landry was a

714
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: fifth round pick. All right, I'm just kind of I

715
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: love you know, you know me, I love doing this.

716
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: I love going pat through Pat Arthur Jones is the

717
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 1: fifth round pick. Pretty good pick, the no oh off

718
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: the chain, Ryan Jensen six round pick. Yeah, that was

719
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: a pretty darn good bit. Ricky Wagoner fifth round pick,

720
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: These fifth and sixth round picks, Darren Waller's here wall

721
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: or sixth round pick? All right, all, all right, I

722
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: have to stop. There's been some ones over the years,

723
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, I love reviewing drafts. Yeah, there's there's been

724
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: some good one. So look, I think that going back

725
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: to Kyle Hamilton's like this is going to be his

726
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to blossomore and this defense, and so I mean

727
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: the guy got the highest PFF grade of any safety

728
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: in the league. Now, he wasn't really playing your traditional exactly.

729
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: He was like a big nickel. Yeah, but like you know,

730
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: his ability to cover side ends. He covered slot receivers,

731
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: you know a number of times over the course of

732
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: the year, Like you know, Chuck Clark wasn't going one

733
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: on one man to man coverage with Tyreek Hill, right, Like,

734
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: I think that Kyle Hamilton's showed all the skills necessary

735
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: to to play in that Chuck Clark kind of role,

736
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: and I think his role moving forward and John Harball's

737
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: pick to this at the combine, he's going to be

738
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: a combination of what Chuck Clark was this past year

739
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: and what he was what Kyle Hamilton was, Like, he's

740
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: still gonna, I think, go down and play in that

741
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: nickel role occasionally and they can move Brandon to Brandon

742
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: Stevens over the top like it's it's gonna be a

743
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: very flexible role. That's part of the beauty of Kyle

744
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: Hamilton is he is a Swiss Army knife. So I

745
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: don't think it's like he's just in the Chuck Clark,

746
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: you know job. But I think what it does is

747
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: means he's gonna be on the field basically every snap exactly.

748
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a starter. Yeah yeah. Instead of playing

749
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: thirty percent of snap, she's gonna play hundred. Now, the

750
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: question that all Ravens reporters love to ask, he's gonna

751
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: wear the green dit question. It's gonna be the question

752
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: they'll see, you know, it's not it's gonna Bean Smith. Yeah,

753
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: you're right, Yeah, that's not I think Rokan I'm not

754
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: one hundred percent you're on this. He might have been

755
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: wearing it by the end of the season. Really, I'm

756
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent you're on that, But I mean

757
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: Rokuan Smith is gonna be the guy wearing the green.

758
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: Dit You just burst the biggest a lot of the offseason. Wow,

759
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: golly day, no fun league over here. Sorry she's uh

760
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: so anyway, Chuck, enjoyed having you on the team. Man.

761
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: It was a great great guy, great guy, and best

762
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: luck with the Jets. Of course, this is all reports,

763
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: doesn't become official to the new league year begins, but

764
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: uh yeah, good stuff, all right. The other big moves

765
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: of the week are the hirings on the coaching staff.

766
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: John Harball has been a busy guy. Yes, filled the

767
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: three remaining vacancies on the coaching staff. Hired Greg Lewis

768
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: as the wide receivers coach, Chuck Smith aka doctor rush

769
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: Aka I got a prescription for sacks as the outside

770
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: linebackers coach, and Denard Wilson as the defensive backs coach.

771
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: So really three very interesting, like really good hires. You know,

772
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: out outside the box thinking here. I mean, you have

773
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: just going through it, Denart Wilson. Here's a guy that

774
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: was a finalist for the Eagles defensive coordinator position, was

775
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: the secondary coach of the best secondary in the NFL

776
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: last year. His players were all like campaigning, openly campaigning

777
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: for him to become get the decordinator job. Like the

778
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: Eagles went to the Super Bowl, this guy bona fide,

779
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 1: yeah right, just doesn't get the DC job there and says,

780
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: all right, well I'll go to Baltimore. Right. Then you

781
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: have Chuck Smith, which is a really interesting higher I mean,

782
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: as I said, outside the box like guy in a

783
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: Keith Williams kind of background in that he had like

784
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: his own kind of business training kind of operation going

785
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: in which he was a pass rush specialist to some

786
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: of the best pass rushers in the league. Von Miller

787
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: recruited him, brought him in to run his pass rush

788
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: summit and kind of coordinate all that and work with

789
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: the guys. I mean, he's worked with Justin Houston, He's

790
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: worked with Clay Scampbell, He's worked with tons of premier

791
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: pass rushers, Max Crosby, Chandler Jones. So you know, a

792
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: guy that's got bonafide pass Rush, Chops and the Ravens

793
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: already took a big step up in the sack department

794
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: this past year when he compared to the year prior.

795
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: And this is great news. You would think for adolph Aoway,

796
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: for David Dajabo, like I mean, Tyas Bowser, also the

797
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: other guys. But you're just thinking about these young guys

798
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: who the Ravens. Really it's really important for Adape to

799
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: take a year three step up. It's really important for

800
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: a Jobo to become the premier guy that the Ravens,

801
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, the first round talent guy that the Ravens envision.

802
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: And now Chuck Smith aka doctor Rush, I'll say it again,

803
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: is the guy in you just love a good nicknames

804
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: for first order of business, hire a new coach, all right,

805
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: let me just see, this guy's got a nicknames before

806
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: you even look at his track record. It was really

807
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: hard not to put doctor Rush in the headline of

808
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: the story. It's really hard, really hard. Um. But yeah,

809
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like, this guy is bonafide, so I'm really

810
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: excited about that hire. Then Greg Lewis, I mean, here

811
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: you have he was a wide receivers coach and then

812
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: the running backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. They

813
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: have any good playmakers out there, I think I had

814
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: a few. Yeah, they had a few. So former wide

815
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: receiver you know, played when John Harball was coaching in Philly. Um,

816
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: you know Chuck Smith by the way, former also another

817
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: former NFL player, a big time defensive end for I

818
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: believe the Falcons um. So like just really, I think

819
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about all three hires. Yeah, I think

820
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: that that shows these guys are certainly had options on

821
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: the table, you would think, and I think it shows

822
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: the respect that John Harbor has around the NFL. And

823
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: I give him a lot of credit for the process

824
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: that he's gone through with his entire coaching shift this

825
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: offseason really the past two years. I mean you go back,

826
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: you look at it Todd Munken and bringing him in.

827
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: We talked when he was going through that process about

828
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: how exhaustive that search was, and you go back a

829
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: year ago. You've changed two coordinators down in the past

830
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: two years, and I really like the coaches they brought

831
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: in during that time. So I did the research on this, Gary, Alright,

832
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: here are the coaches other than Harves obviously, here are

833
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: the guys that were position coaches in twenty twenty one

834
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: and are still with the team. Okay, Okay, t Martin,

835
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 1: jod Anthony Weaver, and Chris Hewitt. Wow. Okay, that's outside

836
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: of special teams. The three special teams coaches for twenty

837
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: two all in the place, right, I'm saying offensive or

838
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: defensive position coaches in twenty twenty one. That's the list. Yeah.

839
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: So like there's been you know, and it remains we

840
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: seen Craig Racige, James Irbin, Keith Williams, what roles they

841
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: have on the staff. John Harball left that door open. Yeah,

842
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: but as of now, that's it. So like there's been

843
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot of turnover and a lot of really smart,

844
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: good coaches that have joined the staff, and I think

845
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: that the coaching staffs in a really good spot right now. Yeah,

846
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: And I'm excited. I'm just on the offensive side. Like

847
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm just I really have been impressed with Todd Munkin

848
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: and talking with him, liked him, and I know he's

849
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: like going through the process of building out that staff

850
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: and doing the interviews, and I know the Ravens are

851
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: really fired up about him. I just I'm really interested

852
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: to see how different this offense looks. What is different

853
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: about it, what's similar about it? We won't really know

854
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: that until you get on the field once it's ota time.

855
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: But I just I'm excited about to hear what kind

856
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: of tweaks and changes this office is going to have

857
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, all right, So we got one email.

858
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: This one comes from Daniel Bernstein said, wrote it to

859
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: me after the Jamison pod, said Mike, you okay, man,

860
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: you sound like somebody let the air out of your

861
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: tires on that last pod. All it's because I didn't

862
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: have you here, you're gonna say so that was the key, right.

863
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: Jameson was great, though he might have to give me

864
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 1: the boot. Uh so, Daniel says, all will be well.

865
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: I actually think this move gives us the best chance

866
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: of seeing Lamar in Baltimore long term and doing so

867
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: in a way that doesn't compromise the rest of the
