LOVE THE CHANGE FOR HOLLYWOOD

that said... if 5 is available then 55 and 73 should probably be up for consideration at least in a few years

Hmm.. food for thought, but I don't know how I feel about that. Both of those dudes are HoF likely candidates. If they make it, those numbers should be stowed away into the distant future only because we don't retire numbers.

idk about that - flacco was a great raven who had a great run for us - but 55 and 73 can be legit be considered amongst the best to do it at their position... you can't say that about joe

and it's possible that we do see guys in 55 and 73 in the future - but it's probably too soon for that if they are ever brought back into circulation

as far as im concerned this is the hierarchy of numbers in order...

52
20
75
...
55
73
92
5

if 92's in circulation, i dont see why 5 shouldnt be...
the only question is whether 73 and 55 should be too

I agree wholeheartedly about 92 and 5. I'm not sure 73 and 55 should be treated as flippantly. They're both HoF worthy candidates that defined our D and O for a long time.

i think there's definitely an argument to be made that Yanda was the very best in the league at his position for a multi-year period but even then idk about his jersey being retired - the position he played probably doesn't help him in this discussion...

I really do not get this number shit. Who gives a fuck? Obviously, you guys. Should retire the names instead.

Aesthetics, mostly. I don't buy jerseys, but I like how the numbers look in the promo things they do or just scanning the field. I also grew up with certain numbers meaning certain positions, so it'll take a while for me to get used to the new numbers.

We have just reached a ground breaking deal with Sports Radar, according to reports. NY Jets as well

I agree that both are HOF worthy, but I don't feel either will go on on the first ballot and it's probably going to take Yanda longer.

Kinda shocking to me that the ravens are still super popular among the YouTubers as far as trading for Julio goes

Because they don’t know our cap or how we do things as well as we do. They’re a bunch of fantasy livers

Not only youtubers.. Nfl writers keep linking the team to Jones despite us taking Watkins and addressing the position via draft.
On top of that, we're going to need some rollover badly come 2022.

Not mentioning, the Pats have like 1 decent WR, got their QB on day 1 and have a some contracts flexibility (Gillmore, Hightower) in case of need.
It just makes too much sense for them to add a household name like JJones right now.

Chargers and Colts make some sense too, given the 20+mil Cap and new QBs who can only benefit from a guy like that

totally agree that we aren't in the running as well and I'm not sure we would be in the running even if we didn't draft Bateman.

I really haven't seen many, if any, NFL writers suggesting Julio to Baltimore post-draft. Makes absolutely no sense.
