The Offseason Thread

[Simba]

One thing I've always been curious about is how often teams and agents actually talk when it comes to negotiations like Mosley's that are coming down to the wire. I'm sure to some extent, Mosley's agent is playing hardball and taking this to the deadline in hopes that the Ravens will up their offer to whatever he's asking. Just, how many times are the Ravens actually in contact with his agent in a given day? Always intrigued me how stuff like this actually comes together.

If you follow John brown’s IG, he’s answering fans questions. Said he would love to stay but they haven’t talk to him yet.

 

[Willbacker]

Perhaps but that rarely ever happens.

If someone does ... my bet is it would be the Browns

That would be a kick in the lucky charms

Thats a shame. I'd like to keep him. Going into the FA season with only Snead and Chris Moore is daunting.

Dwayne Allen signed a 7m dollar contract. I would've let Boyle walk, sign Allen and get the comp pick or at least a player who qualifies for the formula.

You're not sure Allen would've fit well here, you don't save a lot of money and the comp pick you get is a very low one, if you get one. I prefer keeping the homegrown guy.

They drafted 2 guys last year, can we at least see what they can do before declaring the WR position (which is overrated to begin with) awful?

Every year they rely on the mid-late round WRs to develop and it has never worked once though

um no - you cant go into the year with only 4 real options at wr to even make the 53 and out of those 4 only 1 actual clear answer at the position...

you cant just hope everything will work - we only have 1 receiver on the roster with more than 500 yards for his career and the highest draft pick we have is a 4th rounder

Its not a good group, I will admit, but I just don't know if its worth investing in an outside WR who probably will barely get the ball because Lamar is not accurate outside the numbers.

Snead and the TEs will be the weapons of the passing game even if tomorrow they got Brown or OBJ, the passing game will probably still emphasize middle of the field 5-15 yard passes which they will get open for because of Lamar.

Having Moore start outside and then either a cheap FA or either of last years picks take other spot is not the worst. Its very bad, but of all weaknesses to have WR is probably the easiest to work around.

Then again I probably think too much of Moore because I openly still believe in Perriman which could mean I suck at evaluating WRs

it would be absolutely ridiculous not to invest in a WR. Lamar will need WRs to succeed in the NFL

 

[ZonaRaven]

Pierre Garcon is an intriguing option should we be able to get him cheap enough

He’s another one with mega drop issues.

So fucking weird how the ones who make the toughest catches always drop the easiest ones

I don't believe John Brown's numbers would be that high. At the beginning of the season he was catching a lot of shorter passes in the middle of the field so he has shown he's just not an outside the numbers/deep guy. Really don't understand the dropoff with Lamar since he could be the perfect YAC guy.

Have to admit I forgot about the 2 guys we drafted last year.

Kelechi Osemele just got traded to the Jets

 

[MarkAndrewsOurSavior]

Actually upset, the Jets just got Kelechi and a 6th for a 5th

You know I get the impression Osemele left our team on bad terms so it doesn’t surprise me if we were not interested .

I mean thats probably because no one wanted to eat that contract after he had a fairly mediocre year but the Jets will overpay for an above average starter because they have the cap space to do so.

 

[ALI624]

We picked up the option on Carr according to Field Yates. No brainer.

 

[redrum52]

They're saying Kwon is expected to get 12-13.

 

[purplepittabread88]

When legal tampering doesn’t open until 12:01 but Mosley already has a full done deal by 12:02
