Me too. I think we'd really have the deepest roster i think I've ever seen a Ravens team have. (About 15 years)

I guess it's related to the Pitts draft? Anyone want him back as an FA next year? (Ignoring the comp pick stuff)
I don't think either are particularly "locks" to sign here, but I think we will certainly sign at least one player in each positional group in that veteran class.we have to do it lol - not sure what the alternative is if we don’t...
Yeah I agree that he'll get better offers than what the Ravens should pay based on what his role would be. That role would be the hybrid blocker/pass catcher niche that he filled last year - but of course with the receiver upgrade even that is significantly devalued I suppose.I guess the question is... to do what? He's an average to maybe above average blocker. In this pass game, where does he fit in?
Sure, I'd take him back... at least maybe $1-2M a year. He'll get better offers elsewhere.
It would be a potential backup plan if, by some chance, you fail to sign Andrews long term, who is a FA after 2021.Yeah I agree that he'll get better offers than what the Ravens should pay based on what his role would be.

I always really appreciated Hurst for being open about his mental health struggles. Really want to see him succeed in the league. Hopefully he finds a good fit somewhere.Hurst is also someone that has been open about struggling with mental health and definitely suffered from the YIPS. If he's come to terms with the fact he's a backup TE in this league, he might be begging EDC to sign him. The reason is, I do think he was legitimately happy being friends with Mark and Nick. He just wanted the opportunity to make his money. That's probably not going to happen now. So we'll see.

I don't think right now he is a backup TE in the league. I think he could be a quality option on a lot of teams. He's just been somewhat unlucky with the fact that a) he got drafted on the same team as another pass-catching TE who is better than him and b) the team he got traded to had one of the best TE prospects ever fall right into their lap.Hurst is also someone that has been open about struggling with mental health and definitely suffered from the YIPS.

Like I don't think Austin Hooper is any better as a TE than Hurst is. And he got like $10.5M a year. I don't think Hurst will get that much on the open market, but in an offense that uses him well, he could be very productive.
One of the downsides for him, however, is that's "older" by NFL standards. He will be 29 as a FA for the first time.
It's 10am on the east coast and there's no news on signing AV so let me be the first to say #szn over.
Well I have no doubt he'll have a low-production year, but I also think teams will see through that.And I'll be rooting for him. But Pitts is probably going to cut his production in half. 500 yards is his career best. He put up 300 with Andrews around. If that happens again, basically other teams will see that "as the guy" Hurst is a 50 catch for 500 yards in a pass heavy offense. Add in he's basically 30 by the second contract, I'm sure he gets a 5m a year average salary on contract 2.
