Signings, Cuts, Trades

Couple of cut ups if you’re into that type of stuff. Seemed to hold up well again TJ so that’s promising

 

[Deebo813]

*Ravens sign Marcus Williams*

*Williams gives up 7 yard completion*

Deebo: Yeah he trash.

In the heat of the moment yea he gonna be trash for sure lol

One more move and we solidify the O Line. I hope Lamar can trust the men in front of him and carve everyone up next season.

 

[UPennChem]

I actually have little to no interest in bringing in another new guy. I'd be astoundingly happy if we could bring back as many as we can of Calais, Bynes, Ricard, Bozeman and Averett.

 

[UPennChem]

Also can we get that Earl money back please like sheesh.

 

[BloodRaven]

no reason to cut him at this point. Let him come into the offseason and see how he does. He could be cheap depth if he pans out at all. Worse case is we cut him and save 3m

Pointless. Hasnt done anything in years.

 

[rossihunter2]

Yep love his games vs bucs.. other than their front 4, he is a big reason why they play them so well on defense

he's part of the reason the front 4 was so effective - he was making brady hold the ball - brady was trying to play mindgames and move him off his spot and he was rigidly not taking the bait which forced brady to hold the ball and let the pass rush get home

Beautiful day to be a ravens fan, which is a rare thing to say in March.

Now let’s retain boze and fucking get busy on defense in the draft!

 

[rossihunter2]

tbf 4 sacks is better than villanueva but it's not amazing lol

but OMG OMG OMG OMG what a move and for only 5m/yr that's incredible

Same reason our defense was so effective against him when we had Ed. Brady never wanted to let the ball leave his hand until he was certain 20 wasn’t nearby, that extra second put Brady in a lot of sacks

Also curious what this means for Ja'Wuan James. I'm all for T depth but Moses is a better (and healthier) version of him. Have a little bit of savings there if you want to risk it. Mekari now the super sub/potential C option and would still think you want to add someone that can play LT in the draft.

im kinda for keeping him (as long as the ravens are satisfied with his medicals etc.) - yes he would save some cap but he's only gonna count just over 3m anyway which i think is a bargain

would understand if they got rid of him but also with the way OL injuries happen, if he stays it's inevitable there'll be snaps for him somewhere

 

[rossihunter2]

so we can either cut him for a 3m savings or keep him as insurance. We certainly don't need to cut him now.

i think there's a 500k roster bonus that hits in about 5 days - idk if that 500k is worth forcing a decision soon or not

 

[rossihunter2]

I'm curious how Sashi Brown is putting these contracts together. Will be interesting to see.

i think it's still pat moriarty doing the contracts
sashi's not even officially joined the ravens yet i dont think - think dick cass is still team president

and even after he does join i imagine pat moriarty will still be in charge of the contracts

 

[rossihunter2]

Today gets an A+ from me. Williams and Moses all within 24 hours. Massive.

both cheaper than i expected them to be too

 

[rossihunter2]

Best part is Tyree will hopefully not play RT anymore.

and that's worth more than 5m lol

 

[rossihunter2]

we never lost it - we still might owe it back at some point

 

[Davesta]

We getting ahead of ourselves with the “whelp good bye Jawuan James.” talk already. We don’t even know the health of Stanley. At the very least, let’s see them all at training camp. After the 2021 season, more bodies won’t hurt lol

 

[rossihunter2]

the brandon thorn seal of approval is nice to get

right now we've got 4 tackles that, if healthy, we wont mind seeing the field
if we cut james, we suddenly have 3 again and with stanley's injury that's a massive risk to take and probably forces us to go to the draft (we may go to the draft anyway but keeping james allows us the ability to not have to reach on a tackle)

Yup. or if Mekari gets moved inside, James could be the swing tackle. Far to early to tell and it isn’t saving that much to cut him now. Don’t see why people already calling for us to cut James lol
