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.

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. 

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

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..................

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.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
