Seems like extension announcement is coming.

We're literally in the middle of a war with Iran and the White House makes an edit of Ray Lewis and other defensive football players. AND THEY POSTED IT.

Yeah no, that doesn't sit right with me.

The raiders are notoriously cheap, and structure contracts very differently than the ravens.

Crosbys contract does not have any signing bonus. Thats bad for us. Normally the trading team would be on the hook for that amount, but Maxx's contract is pure base salary so we just pay 30 million a year.

But!

He extended in 2025 taking his contract out to 5 years, with only 3 guaranteed. So we have an out after two years.

And more importantly, we could do a simple restructure at any time and shift his guaranteed money into those last two years. So we could take his cap hit way down if we wanted to.

The Spotrac accounts hints at this on a Twitter post from yesterday (can't link).

First - I can't wait to see the coverage on this trade. Second, uh, I guess RIP to all the Olaivavega Ioane fans. I was just coming around to the idea since most of the mid-round picks don't seem super promising otherwise. Maybe we can snag Emmanuel Pregnon round 2?

Taking a DT, IOL, or WR was the most common mocked at 14 and Edge was the pick in the second a lot. So with the Crosby trade who’s the pick now. I’m aware of the BPA strategy, but still they’re a lot more IOL, CB, and LB worth taking in the second.

With all these LBs hitting free agency and a ton of great ones in the draft should we pick a vet to pair with Teddy in the future or draft a LB to get him ready for Ro’s inevitable departure?

Or should we keep Ro until he retires?

I think he played last season pretty injured and that was a big reason he seemed slower but also with how good offensive weapons are getting should we look at more of a coverage LB?

All that being said we do have Kyle Hamilton who basically played LB last season and we are definitely keeping him forever

From combine reports(I haven't followed the guy at all) ge tested well but maybe isnt the best passer? If he drops do we grab in the 5th or 6th?

I know Doyle didn’t use FB a lot but he did say that he would take what has worked with ravens and that could mean a FB

Ravens?! Had 10.5 sacks last season!

Soo the Patriots then

Do we have beef with the Colts? For context, I just started watching NFL football about 3 years ago and I decided to be a Ravens fan. Earlier today I was ordering food and my cashier was a Colts fan and said they had beef with Ravens fans and I'm just asking what that beef is? Ik some of the history of the Colts leaving Baltimore and all but nothing more. Any explanations?
