Ya know what, I’m now fully on board with clowney. Take the brockers savings, see if clowney is cool with a 3 year deal with the guarantees paid in full years 1 and 2, let Judon play under the tag, draft an ILB like Harrison, dye, or gay on day 2, go IOL and WR with other day 2 picks, see where that takes us this year.

clowney and Judon and Campbell for a year, if we land a good IOL and a WR, could get us a super bowl and boom your goal is achieved early in the window, proceed from there for long term building
Clowney's salarial demands are more than our entire remaining cap so...

Not sure why everyone is so negative, one DT isn't gonna make or break 2020.

Yes the Ravens will regress. They won't go 14-2.

But, if Lamar is healthy all year, the Ravens are between a 10-6 and 14-2 team next year. Playoff team.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather see a couple more losses during the season, so the team faces a little more adversity heading into the playoffs. Last years SF and BUF games come to front of mind as games that could have been beneficial had they went the other way, it's hard for coaches to get a message through when the club is winning, but I mean I also want the Ravens to win every game lol.

The biggest thing I need to see from the Ravens this season is an ability to play from behind. Their scheme is bulletproof if they jump out to an early lead. The only thing I want to see from Lamar and the offence is them being able to handle playing from behind, we haven't seen that yet. LJ is still growing and I am fully confident we will see that improve, even if the Ravens aren't a 14-2 club.
I think we can win between 11-13 games next season. I don't think we can recreate the magic of 2019 but we'll be pretty good.

Couldn't care less what our regular season record is in any season as long as we are in and undefeated in the tournament. ^_^

Also, not the entire yearly salary is counted in the cap, so if we want to sign him, we can definitely do so, AND keep Judon on the tag. Would be pretty much guaranteeing that Judon walks next season though. But hey, if he gets to be a free agent after winning a Super Bowl, he shouldn’t be too mad about that.

Judon is actually older than clowney. I'm fine with Judon Walking at the age of 29. it's not like he's got an extra gear.

Our run game maybe better because of lamar and lasmr only and our secondary by far better, but everything else i cant really act like its just so much better than the rest of the class.. Browns could very well go deeper than us this season and i wouldnt be surprised if they did. Steelers are always gonna be battle. Depending on if borrow is the real deal, the bengals are def on their way up. Our division is kinda like the nfc east, dont really know which team will step forward. No clear superior team.

People are acting like we are the patriots of the past where you could pretty much guarantee them winning the division.
I'm going to have to totally disagree with you on your post, especially with the NFC East comparison. We are the class of the AFCN and Burrow had one good year in college. No way to know how he will perform in the NFL. Will the Bengals be better? It's hard for them not to be. Will we be 14-2 next season? Probably not.

Reminds me of when i saw Donald go past 10 in the draft and i was crying on the br.com board to trade up and get him.
You can't trade up every year and have to trade your next years first round pick, at the very least and field a good team. That's your problem sami. You always want to trade away. your pick for studs, yet if you do that, you can't build a TEAM.

Donald was worth trading a 2nd for.

I wish the BR boards still existed because you’d be shocked what people thought at the time. Year 2 had some converts but people wanted Jimmy’s head on a stake after his rookie year.

we arent the class of the AFCN though. Idk about borruw thats why i said if he the real deal. If you honestly think that browns dont have a shot at making a good run this year then i cant change your mind. Baker had a down year after having a good rookie seaso! We all know for sure that the guy can ball. Literally every team in our div has gotten better except for us.. idc about the record thing, i just want us to not get kicked out first rnd again. I was comparing us to the nfc east because you never know which team or teams will have one of those yrs in that div.

I'm calling it our division. I was with you on the Browns hype train last year. They're the Browns and will remain the Browns until further notice. No reason to believe that culture has or will change anytime soon.
