We all knew it though, if they didn’t win it that year it was all over. The writing was on the wall when cj Anderson became the lead back in the playoffs. That offense was built entirely around Todd gurley and we knew his time was almost up, that injury was gonna rear it’s ugly head one day.

I think he saw it. Just like the Eagles did.
They just didn't care, because they knew they had a short window at a SB run, and they actually made it there. Unlike the Eagles, they just didn't win it.
I think fans need to understand that its quite common for NFL franchises to mortgage the future to win now. Its done all the time. When they win, like the Eagles did, nobody cares how bad their cap situation is in future years. When they don't, like the Rams, they're mocked for it.
Check out the 2021 Eagles cap situation. They've got $257M in active contracts on the books (with a cap that will certainly be under $200M, and could be as low as $175M), and that's just for 41 players. And a lot of their big contracts they can't cut to get rid of.
They'll be doing a LOT of extensions/restructures to veteran players to make it work.

"Nice and cheap" will be in excess of $10M a year, which would likely put him outside of the Ravens price range. He also would have a heavier workload here, because he wouldn't have a first rounder like Chubb playing on the other side.
Plus he's still under contract for 2021, the Broncos have a buttload of cap space for next season, so no reason for them to move on.

We're basically one of the top 3-4 teams in the league among pretty much any analyst you'll find, and are one of the favorites to hoist the Lombardi.
Nothing else matters at this point.
this is the kind of stuff i expect to see more of this year - some teams have already signed guys to practice squads who they dont want in their facility (see mccown and brandon carr)

When Jaylon ferguson is the only edge defender on the roster; I’d say that matters lol
i get the point he's making though - it doesnt matter.... yet

Did it matter much last year?

Ferguson wasn’t the only edge defender on the roster last year, and he wasn’t projected to be the next year either.
right now, ferguson is the only mentionable ravens edge defender under contract beyond 2020

I’m speaking about next year though. This whole thing was in reference to von Miller and next offseason

After his comments about Dak's brother's passing, I lost all respect for Skip Bayless.
