Was thinking about doing another NFL game day thread but probably not anymore...

If the Ravens go 0-4 or 0-5 ... I mean ... why NOT get Smith

I personally agree. The Ravens would definitely take a 6th or 7th for him and if they had no playoff hope they have enough respect for him to consider trading him if he wants, and if we're like 5-0 or 4-1 and have Super Bowl hopes for this season I don't see any reason not to give up a late rounder to get him back for a Super Bowl run with KB out. Big reasons we cut him were because he would hinder KB's development, and if we didn't cut him it would've picked up an option which would be paying him over $10M/year this year and next I believe. Right now his deal is completely reasonable and we obviously have a need for WR and with him retiring after this year and KB out it wouldn't really affect him at all. Would be worth a late rounder even for a 1 year rental if we truly believe we have a chance at winning it all. I'd give it a .01% chance of happening but it would be a good move.

Because even if you ignored all the alleged team chemistry issues, you're giving up future capital for a guy who has made it known this is his last year.

Same reason no one (not even the Chiefs) "rescued" Tony Gonzalez and he went out on a 4-12 Falcons team.

Also, to help with Data's lament about the lack of traction in the general game threads, perhaps it would be better if we had a stickied thread for general games with no Panthers implications like this one and leave the individual game threads for more important ones.

Looking like Ravens 0-4 ... I am hoping, because the Ravens WILL trade Smith if they lose tonight

I don't think they'll consider trading him until near the deadline and if they have any chance at the playoffs then they won't do it. He's literally their best offensive player, atleast until Perriman is back and will probably still be even with him healthy.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
