Re: 2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors
I think that's a valid point. It's definitely one I've considered.
From the team's perspective - why pay upwards of $20 million to a WR when the offensive design is centered around the run and controlling the clock? Seems like mishandling precious cap space resources. There is a legitimate argument that, on the offense, that money would be better spent on the OL.
From the FA Wr's perspective - why go to a team where the top receiving target is Mark Andrews? I might be lucky to get targeted 5 or 6 times per game and of those targets, there is a fair chance that only 3 or 4 of them are really catchable passes.
I guess the one X-Factor is Lamar Jackson. Everyone LOVES that kid and the Ravens are 7-1 favorites to win the SB next year.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: 2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors
I agree that Chris Jones would be the guy to get. However, I sure wouldn't complain if Armstead or Fowler would be picked up instead. I wouldn't want Dupree at all. He is a product of Watt being on the other side. I'd keep Judon over him anytime. As for Campbell, he is 33 years old. No thank you. When we (not if we) cut Jefferson we will have over 28 M in cap space. That's a lot of money and we can certainly pick up one of these guys. I think Judon is what Zadarius Smith was last year before he left. He will never be the "man" but if you have another pass rushing threat on the other side (like Preston Smith for GB) then his sack totals will soar even more.
Honestly, I'd seriously consider keeping Judon and see if I could get another FA pass rusher. If you do that, I think this could fix a lot of our problems. If Judon is going to cost too much, then you have to look for at least two pass rushing threats when he leaves.

I'm interested to see what AJ Green may get on the FA market. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing the Ravens offer Green something like 2 yrs $30M and see if he would bite. This seems to be more on par of the Ravens way - signing a vet #1 rather than paying premium for younger #1.

Markus Golden would be a great target.

Re: 2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors
We say that every year for a lot of teams, but then they go and figure shit out.
Some potential cuts for them:
Joe Haden - clears $7 mill against their cap.
Vance McDonald - clears over $6 mill against their cap.
They could also restructure Ben's contract. He has a $33 mill cap hit this year. I would be surprised if they didn't try to convert some of that to bonus money, etc.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
