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.
