yeah it looks like we aren’t getting AJ

they’re saying the Pats offered a 1st and 3rd and the Eagles turned it down

They’re asking for a 1st,2nd,and a player for AJ

plus AJs agent leaked that he’d prefer the Pats so fukk him

now reports are saying we’re back in the mix for Maxx

I’d rather trade for Maxx anyway

kinda crazy that were 2 days away from free agency and DeCosta hasn’t done anything yet

no Lamar deal,no cuts to free up cap space,no extensions,no trades

at the very least I thought they’d cut Marlon by now or do something to lower Roquons 32 mill cap hit


Jeff Z on the Ravens Collective podcast mentioned the Ravens do not make moves to seem "busy".

They act when they need to, and usually when the timing gives them the most leverage.
I remember Lamar signing his extension the day of the NFL Draft.

Reports are that the Raiders want to trade Maxx by Monday (the start of free agency).
Would love for the Ravens to get Max. We'll see.

they usually cut players a week early to give them a jump on free agency

not cutting Marlon means hes most likely gonna be back next season

probably not at his current cap number but if they were gonna get rid of him they wouldve cut him by now

I already knew they were keeping Roquon but im surprised they're keeping Marlon

dude is washed

He did say EDC told him there's a high probability he'll remain a Raven. I don't mind him switching to safety.

Harbaugh, and Zach Orr made it much more difficult to properly evaluate the roster due to their pisspoor coaching.

The players (Roquan, Kyle, Marlo, etc) will never call the coaches out publicly. I'm glad former pros who know the game don't mind speaking their mind.

we dont need another high paid safety

we already have the highest paid safety in the league and another we just took in the 1st round

Marlon with a 26 mill cap hit to be the 3rd safety doesnt make sense

and coaching has nothing to with him being slow and consistently getting beat deep

hes washed

cutting him with a post June 1st designation and freeing up 19 mill in cap space shouldve been an easy decision

Femi gets it. One of my favorite points he made was that Lamar’s introversion and silence leave fans, local media, and national media scrambling to fill in the gaps, and too often they fill those gaps with nonsense.

He also made a good point about how the Ravens move quietly for a reason. That it's not inactivity, it's strategy. The team keeping things incognito while it works through extensions, restructures, trades, and free agency is the right tactical approach. Information is power, and the more that gets out publicly, the more it can be used against us in negotiations.

He was also right to call out a lot of the national media nonsense around Lamar and the team. Too many people treat silence like dysfunction when sometimes it just means a team is handling business privately.

And on trades and free agency, people act like it is just about whether the Ravens want a player. It is not that simple. A deal may technically be between two teams, but you are still competing against the rest of the league for leverage, price, and timing.

Bottom line, let’s stay calm. Just because everything is not public yet does not mean nothing is happening.
