We don't have cap room to go shopping 

Where you see that? We need draft picks and a QB, assuming we roll with some journeyman at 15-20 next year we will have 20-25M in cap to spend.

adam schfter is now saying the Ravens are in line for a 3rd compensatory pick if Johnson walks.  Which I guess makes sense and is the cherry on top for this poo trade

Yeah they can get a 6th or 7th but that’s irrelevant to us. We are adding a bunch of players in FA to help this sad roster so we weren’t getting a comp pick.

I could be reading it wrong but it looks like we are bottom half on cap space as of today.  Sure some things can be moved but I doubt we want to start giving out long term high end deals.  At least I hope so.  Just ride this out until 26 and then things completely open up

Xavier Legette said he was surprised by the decision to trade Diontae Johnson. But he added that he didn’t know everything that was going on with the situation. “I guess it’s for the better. I don’t know.

Not much more, most likely.

Being reported that the Ravens offer was the best we got.

(two other teams were in talks)

I'd say it's legit, point being that we weren't going to get any great offers.

Likely the whole league sees us as a poverty franchise, and they treat us accordingly.

Or they know Diontae is a headache and not worth giving up anything of real value

we had teams on the hook 3 weeks ago per j jones.  You think there was a worse offer on the table?  Dude this is totally being leaked by the panthers as evidenced of media members and players saying he wasnt a problem

 

this is classic CYA by the team.  If you think a swap of a 5th and a 6th is the best offer then I am not even sure what to tell you all things considered.  Hopkins is 3 years older and injury prone, D adams has been known to be a malcontent and yet..................

Adams has been a headcase now for 2 franchises as well and he still got a 3rd with a far higher salary

Word was out. Left behind on a road trip, after the previous week that everyone saw. And fwiw Diontae caused that by acting out. Talking his talk. 

Looked like if they had to they would have cut him outright. And if you are releasing a player you are saying he has no value to you. 

edit: it's on him, the low return. He put things out there. On the field, in the postgame comments. I bet that lil act cost him some money when he wants that next deal.
