itll need to be more than just adding depth at WR lol
we've got 2 guys and tylan at best - you need at least 3 guys to have a functional WR group

a great WR4, an ok WR3, but not someone you want to rely on year-to-year
i really dont think we need to enter the free agent market at RB really - we're a team that has to be efficient with its cap space... idk that spending a whole bunch on 1 RB is a particularly effective way to build a roster
it's not the greatest year for RBs in the draft but that doesnt mean there arent guys we can draft and add to Keaton and Justice

Why is Edwards considered gone? Cap space?
he's not under contract and we need to get younger

But Gus is only 28. So are we done with Dobbins?
not sure he gets a first down even if he does catch that ball. Probably would have been a yard short.
we can also cut him june 1 and save 15m. I don't see it happening though. I expect Stanley back next year, but as I've said before, I don't expect Stanley to be a Raven in 2025. We save 20m if we cut him in the 2025 offseason.
in RB years that's ancient lol
we probably are done with dobbins but if we arent it will be a low risk incentive-rich contract

28 is getting up there but I wouldn’t say ancient. lol. Derrick Henry is 30. I would take him in a heartbeat at the right price, for a 1 or 2 year deal.
I would say that Edwards is a known quantity, and with the right, cap friendly deal, I would be happy to have him back. JMO

Yeah, some here weren’t fond of the idea of him being RB1 last season so I wouldn’t put a lot of weight on those opinions. He accounted for 13 TDs last year and is healthy. I’m with you, thinking he will be on the 2024 roster.

FA is a band aid though. Any of those guys are basically 1-2 year players, at most. Rather see us attack the RB market in the draft.
Short of resigning OBJ, as that lets them move money around, there isn’t really a starter they can afford outside of some 2m Agholor level player. The DLine needs to have starters and depth signed, and the secondary needs players, and the OLine needs a starter. That is a lot of holes to fill with very limited resources.
King Henry is almost always under center and I don't recall him ever taking a handoff through the mesh point. That being said he still had 1100 yards and 900 of those were after contract. It would have to be a very reasonable contract, but still we could find a better fit.
I think we should offer JK an incentive laden contract, but not to be the starter.
13 TDs because he was a redzone back and good at finishing off drives in short yardage...
those TD numbers say absolutely nothing about his effectiveness elsewhere

I would love JK back....but can you seriously see him finishing a full productive year at this point? Which leaves Keaton as his back up.
If Henry was available and a decent price I would take him. He does everything Gus does for us and then some. Still has break away speed and sheds blockers at a high level.

I think it’s highly unlikely he is stopped short, he had space, coverage defender was not over top but was tailing slightly, and agholor is a YAC threat. Had he caught that I think it takes a PERFECT tackle with outrageous closing speed to stop him short of the sticks

It set the tone for the day. Constant let downs and what ifs
