Signings, Cuts, Trades

All in reference to Russell's deal. Just an interesting comment. Not to fuel speculation but if Lamar thinks Russ' deal is a lot, maybe he's not asking for as much as we think, and maybe we're not offering as much either.

Alternatively it is possible he ages more like Cam than Russ. I would bet on a short deal with an opportunity to cash in again myself. No matter how you slice it the deal is going to create cap problems whether it is 3 years or 5 years.

Is iswea slang for its sweet? All I can guess is that he's agreeing with Marlon that the Russ deal was pretty huge
 
Simba said:
That's my point. If he thinks that's a huge deal, then maybe he's not asking for as much as we all think (aka fully guaranteed). Maybe huge to him is something similar and the FO just isn't offering that.

Yep.. this is probably exactly it.

What are we looking at? $100 million total for 2023 and 2024 if were using exclusive tag?

I'm not 100% sure on the calculation. Exclusive tag should be top 5 average salaries for that year, which would put him at $47.3M for 2023. 2024 would be 120% of that, which would put him at $56.7M.

So that would put two years at $104M.

I feel like my numbers might be high, but I really don't know.

I have said all along though that, while I struggle with the Ravens at $47M next year, I don't see them doing a $57M cap hit two years from now. If they get to that point, I would bet the moment he gets tagged for year two, they seek a trade partner. Either he plays one year on the tag and gets traded, or he signs an extension before end of next season. That's my guess.
 
Good Lord. I actually wanted Maye before we got Marcus

Yea I don't get it. I'd be on my best behavior if I was getting paid millions unless doing hood rat shit was my source of income lol

What the hell happened to Shemar Bridges? Our PS isn't even full right?

IR for Bridges.

15 of 16 spots full and Harbaugh has said he's hoping Tyre clears waivers and re-signs today. If not, I'm sure they'll look to fill it early next week.

Oh I didn't even know he was injured. Well maybe he makes the PS next year. Would we hear about Tyre at 4pm then today?

Tend to agree. I look at it like this... if the Ravens are going to give him a 3 year deal, why not just do two years of tags? It would arguably cost less.

yes it could arguably cost less but it also could very well cause a strain in the relationship as it did with Kirk Cousins.

if they are high, it's in the ballpark.
 
Did my boy Nate McCrary not make the PS? :fubar:

Well that, and, most importantly, puts a tremendous strain on the salary cap. Reality is with the exclusive tag, our available cap space shrinks to less than zero basically. Talking restructures and roster cuts needed just to be able to get under most likely.
