@jeffzrebiec Nice wok here JZ. Reminds me of ‘22. Team was unusually vocal about not loving options had Kyle not been there and phone wasn’t ringing. If their board is anything like consensus, I think they get a guy worthy of selection at pos. of need but won’t have their pick of the litter
@jeffzrebiec are you able to clarify Dianna’s report that ravens had ALL info. related to medicals prior? Or just all information related to the surgery/recovery? Seems long-term outlook was always going to be determined by ravens and not sure how they do that without seeing him
@ravens4dummies the raiders, surgeon, nor player were going to express any longterm concerns in discussions leading up to agreement. Ravens were always going to have to make that determination on their own as is their right. Not the ravens prerogative to help other teams manage their FA plans
@ravens4dummies Vegas knew they’d need to make an offer Ravens couldn’t match because of how much they wanted to keep him and how he felt about staying. The condensed term which gets him back to the table quicker was never going to be possible for ravens cap.
@FilmstudyRavens I imagine their negotiations with Linderbaum may have given them a nice glimpse of what the IOL market will look like. Id be surprised if we see starting caliber guards sign for less. They were aggressive within their desired market I suppose and at least he’s been durable.
@RavensSalaryCap Think it’s the reason they haven’t been able to extend. indications are ravens want Tyler. I have a hard time imagining their offer wouldn’t make him highest paid C. But I think what he commands on open market is substantial delta over simply becoming highest paid C at this point
@ColeJacksonFB@jeffzrebiec Having a hard time seeing a scenario where Cleveland goes in a HC direction that leads to him not being retained there. Certainly they won’t allow a lateral move while he’s under contract. But for fun, curious who they could add up front to fit his style? Excluding Crosby.
@FilmstudyRavens Well said. Maybe not a good contract as evidenced by fact it was done 3 years ago and remains the highest in guarantees and total value (by a long shot on TV) with only Warner surpassing in APY, but… still a very important/great player who they will need to perform in 2026
@TheMattWise@BenjaminSolak The Madubuike injury is just going to keep on hurting. He is force multiplier at a position that holds great value and obvious weakness for team. The contract is going to linger and limit their $ ability to supplement. Hard to get your hands on that caliber player regardless of $
@MattyZed@ColeJacksonFB Not moving the ball 1-2 yards forward with a team that virtually fumbled the season away multiple times when you are well within FG range is not bad coaching.
@TheMattWise margins so thin. Injuries to stars and challenging schedule leaves no room for error. CC: chiefs, lions. If HOF RB doesn’t lose fumbles then prob talking about a post season run right now. Maybe they need change but that is major surgery vs. a shot in the arm some people imagine
@All_22_NFL_Cuts success in the winning streak came against inexperienced/mediocre QBs. Good results against Stafford but was fools gold imo (drops+puka sitting 2nd half+weather). Don’t have the horses to get pressure so I get the need for it but not sustainable. Vets can exploit as you allude
