believe they would have the better conference record (9-3) vs (8-4), assuming one of our losses is to NFC.

Yep this. A tie goes to Cleveland.

Cleveland being that close to Baltimore is pretty scary. Especially with the schedule difference. Baltimore really needs to take care of business. I couldn’t imagine what would be said if the Ravens lose 2 of their next 4 and Flacco wins the division for Cleveland

Not gonna matter if we win more playoff games or make it to SB

Crazy how much of a poverty franchise theyve been with respect to QB play for a duration as crazy as 45 years.

possible salary for Mads? I forgot the guaranteed money but it would be like 2m,10m,15m,15m

lol madubuike isnt signing that lol

based on the guys who signed last offseason... he's getting 4 years ~100m with around 65-70m guaranteed and ~50m signing bonus

ravens may want to do 5 years, may add a void year if madubuike only wants 4 years

Exactly! It why I was saying when we dropped that dumb game to them that by winning we'd have actually won a two for one game because sweeping them would have nullified our loss to the Colts and we couldn't have done any worse than tying them in conference record. That was a terrible loss. It kept them in the race for the Division and they've played since like they appreciated the early Christmas gift.

Unfortunately, we don't have much cap space to do that. The more I look at it, the harder to give him an offer it seems.

Good lord I hate this fucking fanbase so much. Even more than the Bengals. I love the comments from other Ravens fans though lol

sure we can. It's not like he will count 25m next season if it were a 100m contract. Just go look at the Hargrave structure and I emphasize structure because Madubuike will be a bit more avg but the structure would work for the Ravens.

Now we do have to take into account other players coming down the pike that we will most likely extend, but cap space is going to go up a lot.

they can find a way if they need to
think next year's shaping up to be a bit of a transitional year on offence anyway - going to have some potentially very different looking groups at RB and OL

if we re-sign Madubuike you keep the defence plowing along with basically all its key pieces returning outside of PQ

Well then……

Clowney and Van Noy turned out to be pretty much key pieces this season.
Without them we have Oweh, who is meh to average, Ojabo (for couple games) and Ham.

We'll need a WR or two, as well.

The Ravens will be losing OBJ and Agholor, Simpson and Zeitler, Edwards and Dobbins, Van Noy and Clowney, Queen, Darby and Maulet, Urban and Pierce.

I know I wrote that kind of funky, but was trying to group the players by position grouping.

Anyway, point being- the Ravens have A LOT of key free agents/players who made large contributions to the team and not much cap space and I cannot see them breaking the bank for a singular player this year.
