Signings, Cuts, Trades

[Sandtown]

Damien Harris, D’Onta Foreman, AJ Dillon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Alex Mattison

None really move the needle for me personally but all guys that have had starting opportunities in the past and can probably still play in the league.

Clyde Edwards-Helare is interesting. I like Cordarelle Patterson too

I’m not a CEH guy personally, but understand the appeal. Guess the good thing about him or any of those guys is that you likely don’t have to guarantee anything. It’s a shot and if they come into camp and look good, they have an opportunity. If they don’t or someone we draft steps up, you can probably move on easily. Melvin Gordon-esque type of signing.

Slight bummer on this one but guys like him are also a dime a dozen in Baltimore

My personal position by position thoughts on Ravens free agency...

QB - maybe sign a cheap vet later in the process, if Huntley's market never materializes he might return to compete
RB - really left to Henry of the big names, will add at least one vet but may be more draft centric
WR - not really a need but worth keeping an eye on the market if it stays this slow, will add a Treadwell-type at a minimum
TE - no need
OL - guessing we'll draft heavy here, maybe add a Mustipher type to add depth and competition
DL - hopefully Urban is back, but would be a cheap depth add if not him
OLB - targeting Clowney but have a bevy of vet options available if not him
ILB - seems like the classic position where you let Simpson take first crack at it and add in camp if you need to
CB - pending price, may be worth adding an outside CB
S - pending price, may be worth adding S3

So basically in my eyes...

RB, OLB, and DB are positions you probably look to add now

QB, WR, OL, DL, and ILB are positions where you keep tabs and strike if there's a good deal, but may be more likely to be hit in the later phases of FA

If the Ravens want Henry bad enough, they’ll up the offer. I’m not sweating it

Man these injuries these last few years have been devastating.

We haven't had a decent run in the playoffs with all of our skill position players being healthy

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

Eh yes and no. Yes it is a deep free agency class at the position but he also had 7 picks last year. Maybe there is some regression there but that production is definitely tough to replace. Darby is probably second for me since solid corners are tough to find. RB isn’t worth much to me even though I like Gus and Duvernay was a return specialist/gadget guy for the offense.

I’d be surprised if Huntley returns. I think he goes elsewhere to escape the Jackson shadow. I could see a reunion with Roman.

I think Ravens are monitoring the markets of Zeitler, Maulet, Clowney especially. I also think JK could be in line for a return as well as KVN and even Urban.

I love jameis Winston but yes, stay tf away wit yo goofy ass

He's signing for the Browns, so we'll be picking him off once Groper Cleveland decides he's done for the season with a slight cold.

 

[Grim]

I definitely don’t want the guy who essentially disobeyed his head coach and did an unexpected and arguably unsportsmanlike move

 

[gtalk12]

BRING FLACCO HOME

 

[JAAM]

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

You have some explaining to do. Don't think the streets forgot

 

[JAAM]

Henry, PLEASE bro

 

[QtR Nevermore]

Wouldnt hate donta foreman or aj Dillon as guys to add to the room - no one else really moves me at all

That's the veteran I want. Donta Foreman for the Gus role, with Justice as the passing down back, as we wait for Keaton to recover. That way we could draft whichever rookie we like best, we don't need to look for a specific body type or role.

Texans are scumbags

It feels like every other team is making moves in free agency but us.

Oh, I know. It’s just that we were so close last year that I’ve had hope that if we could just get the right pieces in the right places it might put us over the top. Instead, it seems like we will end up just adding more guys that fit into the “yeah, he’s alright” category instead of adding some guys who could take us to the next level.
