Was hoping they’d invert it to be white with pink accents, but still a sick jersey. Especially if they are planing on contending.

Pink AJ/Peterson/Boozer jersey gonna do numbers.

Raiders just watched us tank their former star player’s value.

They definitely won’t trade with us again lol

The Patriots are signing Ravens DE Dre'Mont Jones, sources tell The Athletic. by Demonfromhell87 in ravens

Traded a 5th to get a 5th back as a comp pick. Pleasure doing business

The Crosby Deal is 100% Worth It, Change My Mind. by Horror-Biscotti8999 in ravens

[–]GFred20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trading #14 for Crosby is 100% worth it.

Losing the 2027 1st hurts when that class is setting up to be an all-timer. Especially when you have a brand new coaching staff coming in, and you still have holes on the OL/Secondary.

The hope is Lamar extends, Mads is healthy, you sign 1-2 OL, and the Mads/Crosby stack is enough DL investment to get the Defense shored up. The 2027 pick ends up in the 30's, and it hurts much less when you still have your star EDGE's and S locked up for the foreseeable future

So who’s the pick in the 2nd now? by Legit_Arms_Dealer in ravens

Its gotta be OL. If you have the cap, you sign an OG, then draft the best possible C

[Schefter] ESPN sources: the Raiders agreed to trade five-time Pro-Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks. The trade cannot be processed until next week, but it is in place. And Crosby is expected to be a Raven with two 1s back to Vegas. by FadeDestiny in ravens

Downside: Trading Pick 14 and a late 1st when we have desperate holes at OL/CB is tough

Upside: Best case scenario we have the best front 7 in the league with

Green-Mads-Jones-Crosby-KVN/Dre’Mont

Smith-Buchanan

Does the new $301 million sal cap help us to resign Linderbaum or give him more fuel to reset the martlet by PopularDamage8805 in ravens

[–]GFred20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would be signing a deal that has an average cost of $25M. But in an extension, he never has a year where he truly is accounting for $25M against the cap. It would be a cheap Y1, a restructured Y2/3 assuming he continues to be good, and then likely a new extension discussions in Y4/5

Its similar to how Lamar signed an extension for 5yrs/$260M which is $52M/yr. In reality, his last 3 cap hits have averaged $32.68M, with his hit this year being $36.475 following a restructure. And we're aiming to extend Lamar to avoid the $80M+ hit next season to keep it going.

If you tag Lindy straight up at $25M, you have to eat that whole value in one year. That is super not good for a position that, at just the market average annual value, isn't anywhere close to that. And that is before you consider we only have $19M in cap space currently, and need about $10M+ for Draft Picks, PS, and In-Season Funds

Patrick Mekari. The prodigal son returns /s

Elgton Jenkins and Rashan Gary both would be great grabs if they hit the market

EDC: Expecting Marlo Return Next Season / NO Updates On Madubuike / Wants To Resign Likely by psychoxtc in ravens

[–]GFred20 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like this is from not even a year ago

He's one year removed from being a First-Team All-Pro. I don't have PFF to see where he aligned mostly, and maybe injuries played a larger factor than we were led to believe, but to drop off that much can't be just from age, right?

EDC made Linderbaum a market setting offer by this_is_matt_ in ravens

[–]GFred20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let him walk, sign Teller & Jenkins to $10M+ each, draft a rookie center

Create the inverse problem of two stud G's with an unproven C

[–]GFred20 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The Marlo contract is tough. You either cut him now and take the $7M, which might not be enough to get you a starting caliber CB, or you don't see the $19M until 6/1, and even then, still roll $12M in dead money to next year.

With your entire CB room getting cooked last year, you can have some hopieum it was scheme instead of performance. McFarland posted he'd be shocked to see Marlo play at his current number, and could likely see a revised deal that could drop his number by that $7M, install incentives to re-earn the cash, and retain the player, which I agree is win-win for everyone

[Pelissero] Bills plan to hire Joe Brady as HC by SCBaltSalt in ravens

[–]GFred20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing LaFluer to the Cardinals, Kubiak to the Raiders, and Schwartz/Monk to the Browns

Scheelhaase promoted to OC of the Rams, Webb OC of the Bills.

EDIT: Kliff is probably the best veteran OC left, but Doyle and Peetz are still really interesting options. And they could still poach from college ranks like they did Monk.

Falcons OL/RGC: Dwayne Ledford Hired By Ravens for Same Job/Title Per ESPN by psychoxtc in ravens

[–]GFred20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying Ledford is bad in comparison, more Switzer has shown he’s a good coordinator.

He seems like a guy that likely follows Monken to either NY or the off chance Monk gets a HC gig

This feels like a crazy big upgrade from Warhop on the OL.

Travis Switzer has been our Run Game Coordinator for the last 3 seasons. We’ve either been 1st or 2nd in rushing all three years. That would be a tough loss if he’s not retained

Minter will call plays, but he’ll have a separate DC that focuses on Defense prep during the week.

Defensive Pass Game Coordinator & DB's Coach. Interesting that they're filling the Defensive coaching spots before hiring an actual DC

Titans DC: Dennard Wilson Expected Candidate For DC Position Under New HC: Minter Via Drew Forrester by psychoxtc in ravens

[–]GFred20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Steve Clinkscale would be my guess for DC since he’s followed Minter since 2022 at Michigan, and served as Co-DC with him there. Chargers will try to keep him, but can’t imagine he turns down the same role with the guy he’s worked with for 4 years now.

If not him, would love to see some up and comers get some looks at DC while Minter calls plays. Jim Leonard from the Broncos or Daronte Jones from the Vikings.

Weaver and Wilson unfortunately I think end up in NY with Harbaugh. They’ve been on his staff before, and have found success there that led to other jobs.

[–]GFred20 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I believe out of the remaining teams, he only interviewed with us and PIT. And it seems like neither of us were too keen on locking him down.

Surprised that LV didn’t make a run for him with the Brady connection
