I'm fed up with John since the sticker days. Just quietly resigned to the fact it will not happen any time soon.

In that case, we can go to Bmore, then wait after the game to make a tiktok video of booing him out!

Taggart was fired as the head coach of Florida Atlantic not as their offensive coordinator.

I keep having to tell people to stop going with John. He stinks. It isn't his fault. He just stinks.

Don't really know alot about Willie Taggart but have seen his offense in action here and there on youtube. His offense is similar to Greg Roman offense for sure but they aren't really same. Taggart doesn't even have the same philosophy as Greg Roman either but honestly the offensive system The Ravens currently have in place isn't bad at all. Just probably needs a better play caller or simply a coordinator that could be a bit more on the same page as Lamar Jackson.

Someone posted this on the Ravens Reddit about Taggart's offense. That last line.... "The receivers need to be able to block downfield and have a set of reliable hands." Ah, if only we had a receiver who had a set of reliable hands.

Gee, what novel ideas. Receivers with reliable hands and running backs “finding green grass”.Someone posted this on the Ravens Reddit about Taggart's offense. That last line....

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Stop being stingy with your picks
And Taggart sucks. My boys a canes fan so I've spent significant time laughing at them. No thanks.

Not sure but if Lamar voiced his discontent like Hollywood, how could they make him stay? I would say many draft picks, including several #1's.

Actually my rebuttal would be the same as its been every time this has been brought up... so what if he hires his friends? Name me the coaches that don't. Andy Reid does. So does Belichick.
Apparently only hiring your friends doesn't translate into guaranteed losing. Who knew...

Well, you tag him, and then you try to trade him for whatever your price is. If you don't get that price, he either plays with you or he plays with nobody else.
As I've said about a billion times already... for the next two years after this one, Lamar playing for any other team but the Ravens is 100% up to the Ravens. They have to sign off on it to make it happen. Lamar can want anything his heart desires, but he can't get it for the next two years without the Ravens saying "yes" to it.

I also don't really understand the Taggart discussion... he's currently unemployed, and runs a system that's at least somewhat comparable to Roman's conceptually. Ever think they're just bringing in an assistant to help get another set of eyes in the room in a season where the offense has been struggling?
Not buying for a second that they're trying to hire him so that they can fire Roman mid-season, or that Taggart is destined to be the OC if they fire Roman after the year. Maybe that ends up happening, but I seriously doubt the Ravens are spending time in-season drawing up that gameplan.

2023 Salary Cap could exceed $220M but nothing is final.

Salary cap for 2023 NFL season could exceed $220 million, but questions remain
The NFL's salary cap for the 2023 season could hit a record high of more than $220 million per club, according to NFL Network Insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.
with the 2023 calary cap around 220m or more next season, I wanted to bring up the Ravens current salary cap space heading into 2023.
Overthecap has us at 47m in cap space, which seems unrealistic due to the total active contracts (40 as of 2023) equaling $181,200,969.
Spotrac has us at 38m in cap space with the same 40 active contracts. They have the total salary cap at $181,204,574.
If we base this on a 220m salary cap then we have about 38m in salary cap space.
Players that may be cut, traded or retire and could save us a substantial amount.
Boyle 7.3 (this is a no brainer)
Campbell 6.5 (he's playing well and wouldn't mind bringing him back a his current contract)
Clark 3.6 (Almost positive he will be gone at the end of the year)
Pierce 2.7 (He was playing really well and it was unfortunate when he went down. I'd like to keep him)
Edwards 4.3 (His contract could be restructured instead of outright cut and could still save us a couple million.
Proche 1m (unless he starts to get used more frequently, I see no reason in bringing him back)
Zeitler 6.5 (The depth we have on the offensive line makes it tough to get rid of Zeitler or Moses)
Moses 2.5 (above)
If all of these players are cut / traded they would save us 34.4m. If we keep both Zeitler and Moses and Campbell retires we still save 25m in cap space. This gives us room to not only franchise tag Lamar, but also extend Roquan Smith and be active in free agency.
Saving 25m in cap space gives the Ravens 63m in available cap space, per spotrac

Is your math at the top right? Or am I misunderstanding something?
I only took that off of overthecap and spotrac. We have 38m in cap space per spotrac.
