Somewhere in his prime Suggs is threatening to kill someone

We really deserve two 2nd round comp picks for this.

Good for him. Never mad at a player getting paid... as long as we're not the ones doing it. And before some smart ass get at me, I mean for certain guys.

Exactly. Can’t blame Decosta for letting these guys go. Hopefully Lamar develops and he gives him the tools to develop.

Good for him and us. 2 3rd round comp picks!?

Rapoport:
Sources: Former #Ravens LB CJ Mosley is expected to sign with the #Jets on a massive 5-year, $85M deal worth $51M guaranteed. That’s $17M per year. It took a lot to leave Baltimore.
LMAOOOOO
Good job Jets, you stupidly overpaid two linebackers. But again... rookie QB contract with lots of cap room is a team's best friend.

My gosh are these teams stupid?!?!

Ravens have Lost so many defensive free agents that, at this point, you almost have to Wonder if now is the time to Put all of the chips on Bell, just to save face. Not saying that the Ravens should panic, but Losing every major defensive free agent makes the decision a lot easier, IMO
I'm not even sure it'll get a 2nd 3rd. I don't know formula perfectly but Flowers and Brown for Pats, Foles for Eagles are already bigger. The way things are going I wouldn't be shocked to see another crazy deal that would mean only 1 3rd and a 4th.
Bell just isn't worth it. No RB is worth what he is going to get.

Guys who are smart with comp picks... tell me...
With the absurd contracts being handed out, are we even likely to get a third at all, let alone 2? Mosley got 17 per and Z with 16 per, but with guys like foles at 22 per, trey flowers above Zs average and at or below CJs average, and guys like bell and tyrell Williams potentially matching or passing those numbers... it seems we will get one third, but the way these dollars are being thrown out I worry that we don’t see 2 thirds.
Another thought, do we think that tony Jefferson can go the way of mark Barron/deone bucannon? I feel like we feel comfortable that if one of our starting 2 ILBs don’t work out that we have a quality option in Jefferson and potentially a UDFA like always. I think we are gonna go hard after a safety in the draft and then roll with the rookie, Elliott, and Clark, who all have looked VERY good. Honestly I would love to see Adderley with Elliott and Clark rotating the second safety spot, and have young and Jefferson at LB with Jefferson and Levine taking the dime snaps.

I don’t think Trent browns average was bigger than either of our losses. Flowers and foles so far are the ones that are hurting us

You have to value in him as not only your #1 running back, but possibly your #1 or #2 receiver as well. I’m not saying give the guy $20mil per, but if they can land him for under 15 per, maybe with more guaranteed, that checks a whole lot of boxes for the offense. More than just adding a back.

There's typically no limit to the number of comp picks given in a round, but I've been saying for years that it's only a matter of time before they have to adjust the line for what contracts fall where. I have a hard time seeing the NFL giving out 15+ 3rd rounders, which is where this thing is heading it seems. It's really hard to say how that's going to work out as time goes along. In the current state though, we'd likely be in line for two 3rd rounders.

Was joking about TJ at lb but i can see it he is a monster in the run and would be better in coverage as a Lb rather than a safety
lol, thinning
the owners used to get upset at Dan Snyder for doing it. Now everyone else is in on it.
