Definitely not a troll. And what the hell is a Doink? My goodness. Let’s just move on. This isn’t going anywhere and the thread is getting derailed.

Doink the Clown, from the old WWF. Google him. You'll understand.
If you want to direct the complaints about the derailment of the thread, the mirror is the absolute first place to look.

Think he’s trying to wait until after the minicamps/OTAs to sign on anywhere?

Was really hoping we’d nab him immediately after the draft especially with Indy taking Paye. I like Oweh but is he ready to start? The front office has to be in love with him, but I could see Bowser and McPhee being the day one starters with Oweh coming in on passing downs. I’ve just always liked Houston and think he’d be a great fit here

Houston is a great player/fit for what we need from him. And it's very possible to bring him in too, with a little tweak here and there. I just think he's holding out to see if more teams with a need at the position become interested. Plus vets don't typically love OTA's/minicamps/etc
I'd prefer not bring in Julio and that's for multiple reasons. Julio is one of my favorite players in the league, but you can't have everyone on your team. Yes it sucks, but it's not viable.
1st) Cost is too much. We can't bring in another high cost veteran when we have LJs 5th yr option and Andrews yet to be signed.
2) We need to have some available space due to the Earl Thomas situation
3) Next years cap is still going to be below the norm so having some rollover cap would be a good thing to have for the 2022 offseason
4) as @Sizzle said, I'd like to give our young WRs a chance to succeed in the offense. Sure Julios experience certainly would help, but playing time helps a lot also
5) read #4
6) Read @rmcjacket23 posts on the matter
If we had 16 to 20m in effective cap space and hadn't drafted Bateman and Wallace than I'm sure we would be knocking down the door with multiple 5th rounders, but we don't. We only have 9.6m and that's not taking into account going into the season with atleast 3.5m in cap space and the Earl Thomas situation, if we lose that case.

Ah shite, completely forgot the Earl of Dumbassery Thomas fiasco
yeah, it's been in the back of my mind since we signed Yannick and then when the offseason began. We won't know until the offseason 2022 or atleast it won't effect cap until then

He was a complete joke.

Based on everything I'm seeing, and based on how the Ravens have operated this offseason, I suspect they already kind of "know" that the ET grievance won't impact the 2021 cap. If they thought there was a chance, I think they'd have been much more conservative with cap space.
he didn't have many sacks, but he was still disruptive. His problem was basically only used on passing downs due to him being terrible against the run. I'm pretty sure we signed him for the playoffs and a run against the Chiefs that didn't happen
That's a reason I like Oweh. He's very good against the run.
Yes, I believe it could effect the 2022 cap at the very earliest. That's another reason to go into 2022 with rollover cap.
yeah having looked recently looks like we've dropped significantly to 6th or 7th favourite at this point
he may supposedly be past his prime - but he still looked elite last we saw of him in 2020
i mean i dont think we're bringing him in - but the argument is that you think you're only 1 player away from a superbowl and julio's the kind of player that fits the bill as the type of guy to push you over the top
the only argument against julio (and it's a good one) is the money aspect
never been gladder to have been working late so i could miss this entire argument lol
