Free Agency 2019

[Jacquouille]

ok im happy - this move makes me fine if we literally add nothing else and just fly with the young guys on defence

Yeah I want to keep those comps and not play to much with fire with the future cap. That said Earl's deal looks pretty frontloaded.

 

[Militant X 1]

We need to go get LB Zack Brown.

 

[rossihunter2]

I would be very surprised if someone doesn't grab Maxx Williams for an average deal just because he had a nice year and was a solid if unspectacular blocker.

brent urban could land somewhere too

 

[allblackraven]

If we want to compete this season, get Earl Thomas, Ingram and M. Golden.

OK DeCosta, now Golden and we're good.

 

[rossihunter2]

I was hoping we'd use our cap space this year to absorb a lot it...

43m in the first 3 years suggests to me that itll be fairly evenly spread across the whole contract which is nice for us as an organisation - sounds like there's not a huge amount of new money in year 4 and nothing guaranteed beyond year 2 outside of his signing bonus

 

[rossihunter2]

OK DeCosta, now Golden and we're good.

haha - im good already

 

[Charm City]

Let's add Justin Houston and I will be perfectly happy with our defense as is

 

[Militant X 1]

Here's what our Ravens secondary looks like so far:

FS: Earl Thomas
SS: Tony Jefferson
CB: Marlon Humphrey
CB: Jimmy Smith
CB: Brandon Carr
CB: Tavon Young

 

[Simba]

Stepped out to grab lunch and come back to this. Wow!

 

[Adreme]

haha - im good already

I'm still worried about theOLine, but the defense is now better than last year and the offense is about same at the moment (which is bad).

Browns about to trade for Julio for insurance lol

that also makes us incredibly deep too because it doesnt even include Levine as our dimebacker, or the talented backups we've got:

our db corps is loaded with starters and depth:

• Levine
• Averett
• Canady
• Clark
• Elliott

i dont think OL is something we were ever gonna be able to fix in free agency - that's why im not really concerned by it

 

[Charm City]

Part of me believes we would not have made this move if OBJ hadn't been traded to the Browns

 

[Cville-Raven]

Good to see we signed Ingram for only 15 mil over 3 seasons.

I think they coulda topped Panthers on Paradis who was pretty good last year just because C is a position I think is one you always want a vet.

here's Brian Mcfarland confirming what i posted earlier:

basically we're currently down to 2 comp picks: a 3 and a 4, but because ingram's deal cancels sizzle because we've netted no other free agent losses if anyone else signs with another team like williams, rgiii or urban then we net a 3rd comp pick and a 5th for sizzle because ingram's deal would cancel down even if those guys dont qualify in the top 32 free agent losses

so if urban or maxx or any of our other UFAs signs somewhere else we likely end up with a 3, 4 and 5 still coming out of free agency

You mean net a 4?

 

[MarkAndrewsOurSavior]

Jimmy is more than likely gone. Add justin houston and zach brown and we have a 10x better D than last year, that being said we have to nail the draft for offense

Maybe net a 3rd comp pick.
