This is what I don’t get. Where’s the Ravens training staff and doctors ??
It seems a huge mistake to wait here.

Could be calling FAs - they need to bring someone in for practice, everybody is injured
Don't think there's a guy out there in FA that they'd have to try hard to get though.
Considering most of them realize they are likely a camp body, I would suspect most of them want some reassurance that they are going to be more than that.
I mean if they wanted William Jackson, Ronald Darby, really anyone like that that's still available - they'd be here by now. They might still end up here but seems that's not the top choice right now. But guys like that have been on the workout circuit over the last couple of weeks, so they're looking for homes.

True that. Money issue, perhaps? I imagine Jackson/Darby types aren't vet minimum type guys.
Would guess they're more of a plan B right now. Not saying they won't sign, but seemingly are prioritizing something else first.

Has Lacie blocked you on Twitter yet?

Nope. In fact I'm pretty sure I was the one that said if Hamilton fell, we'd take him.
I also knew Chuck Clark wouldn't be a Raven this year, because he was barely a Raven last year.
But when they did take him, I knew we were going to be light on WRs. Which we were. And it wasn't the end of the world, either.

Well Slay would have signed here if you offered him more.
Jamel Dean was a FA. So was Byron Murphy, Bradberry, Jonathan Jones, Cameron Sutton, among others.
If we had our hands tied with Lamar, so be it. That's on the FO, Lamar, and frankly, the fans as well. If the fans think we should have (and largely did) spend the entire offseason just appeasing Lamar, then they got what they wanted. And this is simply what that looks like.

Yeah, no doubt. But being right or wrong wasn't my point, no one doesn't make mistakes. My point is if he did have a hand in not signing Peters(I don't think we know that) it wasn't because he was a sensitive little bitch lol , it was because he was doing what he thought was best for the whole of the team.
it was pretty easy to see that Clark wouldn't be a Raven this year, once we took Hamilton.

Only the top comment chain, the rest is gatekeeping what we’re allowed to complain about. We make excuses, like not having Lamar the MVP is a valid excuse lol

Was this not to be expected? There is no way to plug up every issue.
Almost all of us were on board with bring in guys no matter what to change the offense. This is what it looks like. We have a lot of unproven talent on the defensive side of the ball that have to improve especially on the defensive line.
We knew MP was iffy to return, and we also knew that we had to eventually deal with how light the CB room was to appease Lamar.
We appeased Lamar. So now we have to go out there and see what these guys can do and retool CBs in the offseason

Let me tell you a little something about my knee, back, and both shoulders…

Please tell me the starters are done practicing, I’m still traumatized from yesterday’s news. Why can’t our division rivals ever lose top players in training camp, why is it always us. And don’t conflate that as me wishing injuries, any Raven fan can empathize, but they are inevitable but it seems like certain rivals have avoided them year after year while we continuously are snake bitten.
Bengals get a brief scare with Burrow, the same very night they’re assured he’s fine and then a few days later he’s running and throwing. They haven’t had to suffer anything like we have
