The 2022 Offseason Thread

when i was just starting out as a fan it was one of my go tos because i had no idea who and where to find "good" ravens content and LFW was the only thing that consistently showed me stuff (this is back before i had twitter and was engaging on the forums)

nowadays it's mostly just rehashing stuff ive already seen the day before
I'll have to quote Bill Belichick here: “I don’t Twitter, I don’t MyFace, I don’t Yearbook.”
And then LFW is a nice digest and I don't have to run around all over the internet all day long :)

that wasn't the entire quote. The quote in full was I don’t Twitter, I don’t MyFace, I don’t Yearbook, but I do cheat.”
 
Hortiz is interviewing for the Steelers GM position
 
Hortiz is interviewing for the Steelers GM position
interesting that he has now interviewed for both the Steelers and Giants.

Kate Mara's family owns both the Steelers and the Giants. Her fathers family owns the Giants and her mothers family owns the Steelers. Talk about a football family. I think this is not a coincidence that Hortiz is interviewing for both teams.

i mean tbf the steelers have interviewed like 12+ candidates at this point for a position that they arent even going to take over until after the draft
they're being thorough because they're in no rush
 
It’s a good thing this Marcus peters+3rd for amari cooper trade that’s going around is completely unfounded, because I’d be fucking livid. Straight up give me peters over cooper all day, taking on a bigger cap hit and losing a third too? Fuck no, absolutely not.

is that a rumour going around?
because if it is it's patently bullshit - it was a proposed trade in a random article about a week ago...

but it's also completely unrealistic - why would either team do that trade?
 
So one of our Florida games potentially could be not played in Florida.

The NFL has announced five teams playing in international games in 2022 (more forthcoming):

EDC combine interview 1pm on Wednesday
doesn't look like Harbs is scheduled for one - might not be a massive combine presence... we'll have to see - could be that EDC's got a similar philosophy to Snead with regards to removing biases and things like that - we know Snead and and McVay are going back to LA as soon as their media availability's finished

That's the game I planned on going to too but Brady's retirement makes me rethink it.

I feel like the combine is starting to die a bit and with what almost happened with the boycott, it might be on its last legs.

it'll never completely disappear because it's still valued as a pre-free agency conflab and the only time you get to have prospects all in one place for medical checks and weigh-ins

but i think the workout portion of it may well disappear or at least have to change significantly in the near future to survive because right now the workouts and the testing aren't particularly relevant to the teams anymore

there's absolutely no reason that players should be doing the bench press lol (i imagine a bunch of guys wont even bother this year and will opt out of the bench)
 
My biggest concern about the draft is we draft defensive line early including the 1st pick. We absolutely must protect Lamar or we aren't going anywhere. Center ,LG and yes LT or RT . I think Ronnie is sadly done. Not kidding. Even DeCosta admitted it was his biggest mistake offseason was thinking Ronnie would be ready. I really respect Eric for saying that because it was the truth.
