Apparently the deal is done and they are working on incentives.

How you know

Also we’re racking up comp pick eligible losses which means we aren’t going to have to sit on our hands until May if there’s a guy we like in future phases. Still have 4-5 guys out there that could factor in too.

9 mil per year for Simpson tells you how expensive O-line is right now

Queen hasn't even signed yet along with Clowney, safety is a very deep class, I wouldn't mind having us pounce on someone

S and WR look to be the markets worth pouncing on if they stay this slow. I’m not even a believer that we need a WR necessarily, but theres opportunity if the market doesn’t pick up soon.

Where are you seeing this?

WR market is hurting because the draft is amazing at WR. Good time to have holes at the position. Not sure who I would go for though although you could get a Hollywood reunion

 

[RavensMania]

Makes a lot of sense.

It's a slight surprise to see the Ravens make a signing on the first day of free agency though.

Don't think this will calm the "We need to sign a star NOW! What is EDC doing?" crowd much.

lol, we signed a star. His name is BK

So the Titans signed linebacker.... Kenneth Murray at 2 years $18M. I'm thinking we might have a shot at retaining him. If Murray only got $9M a year, Queen certainly won't get what we thought he would get.

Queen is way better than Murray though

That's what makes this signing evening odder. Why was Murray signed before Queen?

Kirk Cousins out... Sam Darnold in. Darnold to the Vikings on a 1 year deal.

 

[Davesta]

Zack Moss gone. Bengals sign RB Zack Moss to a 2 year $8M deal while cutting Joe Mixon to free up $6M in cap space

I’d have been fine with him, but let’s just get Henry and bring back Dobbins or draft someone or both

Bruh.. I would’ve kept Mixon over Moss.

Mixon to Cowboys.

Henry to Ravens.

Everyone wins.

 

[Deebo813]

He's an idiot, which is fun, I suppose, but I'm not sure we'll be laughing if he throws 3 picks to the Browns in the first half.

Keep winston far away from this team

 

[rossihunter2]

Absolutely bonkers that the RB market has been so busy. I know the draft is weak there but I still didn’t expect this.

Watch this draft class have a lot of the boom-bust type guys hit and everyone who paid for a vet gets left looking silly

 

[rossihunter2]

And at this point, despite my questioning of how Henry would fit, I might be team go for it. Don’t think the cost would be too prohibitive based on the market for others. May only be a 1 or 2 year solution but not like anyone else is a bonafide option either.

I guess the rationale (if his price comes down) is that with Keaton and justice you don’t need him to be a 3 down back

He’s got a low rushing success rate vs gus but you have to think a large part of that is lamar

And I did go back and watch some of his 2023 snaps and he’s not as bad a fit as I thought initially

Clearly the front office know more than me lol

 

[rossihunter2]

Eh there are times where losing a lot of players on a day like today is rough(What the Dolphins are going through is brutal) but the bigger concern with the Ravens is quantity over any single player being amazing. And for that, just gotta fill those holes in the draft and later free agency, just like how we filled those holes last year. Geno Stone is probably the biggest loss although Darby is tough as well. RB was going to be a need anyways for us and we may be filling that sooner rather than later. And this is an amazing WR class.

Secondary and O-line are the biggest concerns for me personally but we have time on both. Overall nothing that happened today is surprising besides maybe Queen not being signed by someone yet

I honestly think geno is the most replaceable - finding a serviceable 3rd safety is not super difficult in the current market - especially if you’re shopping for veterans

Got 5 comp pick eligible losses already who all qualify and that’s without PQ, KVN or Clowney

Should be able to sign a couple of decent free agent contracts while still preserving a hypothetical 3rd/4th round pick for PQ and also having a max of 4 comp picks

Because he’s more affordable and they clearly weren’t competitive in the Queen market
