xbilkis posted:That Madubuike contract is waaaay more than I would feel comfortable giving him after an outlier year on a loaded defense. If I'm Christian Wilkins and I actually have multiple years of production at that level under my belt, I'm asking for like $30m (and if I'm Chris Jones I guess I'm asking for Danny Dimes money?) 'way' more is a little bit of a stretch. if he had two years of that kind of production, then this would be a massive underpay. he was pretty good in 2022 and fantastic in 2023. with that + the cap explosion, going for slightly more than the second highest contract feels about right. he's trending in the right direction and there's a decent chance it looks like a good value within a year or two.

Black Sunshine posted:You're entitled to feel how you want, I just think it's weird to dismiss him with prejudice after being really good for quite a long time. Dude is washed now, it happens. If anything, blame the coaching staff for continuing to run him out there while he was performing so badly. FA and the draft is the nfl version of the player hater's ball. and haters are feasting right now for real. we eat good out here.

The Puppy Bowl posted:I do not like this. Henry is years overdue for the wheels falling off and I don't even know if he fits the Ravens offense. Should be a decent pass blocker at least. it'll be fine. i dont think this stops them from drafting an RB in like the 3rd or 4th or later. i'll be the rear end in a top hat that says it feels like an overpay but realistically 9 mil guaranteed over two seasons is not bad when the cap keeps going up

Mystic Stylez posted:I feel like with Flowers and Likely's rise, *IF* Mitchell doesn't lose his insane speed, the only thing holding the offense back is Lamar's chemistry with Bateman. should be a focal point, but I don't know if that's even something that actually can be made better. sometimes players just don't click I guess. The oline will need some investment even if Zeitler comes back. Ravens could also move on from Stanley, opening up about 10 mil in cap space (and taking on 17mil in dead cap). Morgan Moses is 34 and would open about 7 mil in cap (no dead cap I think, or maybe like 1 mil). Both were rotated regularly about half the season just to ensure they could finish the season. I doubt the Ravens move on from both at the same time, although the Wednesday deadline will be a big indicator. There's a non-zero chance that Linderbaum is the only 2023 oline starter on the roster. Cupboard's not bare - Mekari is only 26 despite feeling like he's been around forever. Ravens superfans are insanely high on Voorhees, which is weird because you'd think Ravens fans would be scared of anyone coming off an injury. Ben Cleveland has finally started to play better when he saw action last year so he's an option, along with Aumave-Laulu, and Faalele wasn't bad and got some much needed experience. But yeah, it's the biggest question mark on the offense for sure. Thankfully Ravens seem to do a good job at developing olinemen or pulling in FAs (the nightmare year where Villanueva had to step in and Stanley re-aggravated his injury non-withstanding). D'Alessandris is a really good coach so I feel good from that aspect, and this is by all accounts a real nice oline draft. My ideal draft would probably be something like G/T in round 1, WR in round 2, EDGE/CB in round 3, and then RB in 4 or later, depending on who all falls to us, use the late round picks on project olinemen/dlinemen.

D-LINK posted:If Patrick Queesn isn't any good as a coverage ILB, then he will bust in Pgh. Steelers have been collecting downhill thumpers for years, and keep whiffing on the coverage guy since Shazier retired himself. They've added Devin Bush, Cole Holcomb, 900 year old Kwon Alexander, etc and have no answer for TEs, so there's that His skills in coverage have gotten way better, but roquan and hamilton help him not have to do it all. if minkah is the only guy around that can support queen on those crossers and slants, it might be tough. its hard to tell. its an ascending player on a very team friendly contract so there's no reason not to be optimistic about it, but its also a move id (if i were a steelers fan allah forgive me for uttering this) feel better about if he wasnt meant to be the sole answer for underneath coverage

The Glumslinger posted:https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1767951429136720015 He's 34 and played a lot of last season injured and required us rotating in other tackles to sub in plays for him. The same was true for Stanley, so going into 2024 with both tackles being age/injury question marks wasn't ideal. The move also opens up about 7mil in cap space. Ravens probably also feel okay about moving forward with Mekari/Faalele at RT, which makes sense given that both got more than enough play at T last season. It doesn't surprise me, it felt unlikely that they were gonna go into this season with both tackles given their cap hits and age/injury history. Plan feels like the same as it was gonna be. Draft oline early and likely often and pick up a cheap vet cast off prior to training camp

sharknado slashfic posted:Decosta said they wanted to upgrade the oline and I guess he wasn't joking. I hope it's an actual upgrade. Don't see what move they make other than the draft though. Maybe double dipping in the 1st and 2nd round. I mostly think that between Stanley/Zeitler/Moses, the 'getting better' on the oline was a dogwhistle for 'getting a little loving younger'.

Kawalimus posted:Yeah right after signing a 30-year old power back. Not too smart. Morgan Moses trade one of the dumbest we've ever made. Moses was injured half the season and playing on a snap count. Zeitler was also playing through stuff. They're both gonna be 34 going into the season. They can still bring in a vet linemen plus the draft looks really good plus there's dudes on the roster that can compete. I wouldn't have minded if they kept Zeitler/Moses but I think going into the season with them plus Stanley as your oline plan is also taking a huge rear end gamble.

OTC has a tracker to guesstimate the compensatory picks (this is speculation since some of this does depend on playing time and hitting contract escalators from what i can remember) https://overthecap.com/compensatory-picks at a 19m apy he definitely hits the 3rd round threshold if they just let him walk also ravens and cowboys with potentially a shitload of comp picks next year
