Will Ravens Defensive vets want to sit through a rebuild if Lamar is traded?

[ravensfan7716]

I wouldn't either.


BUT


I would take 40 million more a year in cap space, multiple 1st and 2nds, possibly a player back like an Elijah Moore? and an increase in team chemistry over Lamar. Every. Single. Time.

You are acting like its Lamars fault the Ravens are not spending up there with the rest of the teams.

The owner is not spending like many of those other teams. Look at where they were this year, 18th in the league in cap spending.

A better quest is, if you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

I think the issue with this post is the assumption that it would even BE a rebuild…

Not feeling this would be a rebuild . we were 1 bad play away from playing the bills last week. with a back up qb and no wrs. no lamar does not equal a rebuild it would be a restart but we would still be competitive

[ravensfan55]

I don't even get threads like this. Where do people come up with it being a rebuild? We have a good to very good defense, very good special teams, good running backs, a good O line. And I'm sure who ever they'd plug in at QB (it won't be the two UDFA's we now have) will at the very least be decent.

Lamar is a rare talent, but at a point no player should hold a team hostage.

They have no choice, they are under contract.

Exactly. Were the Seahawks veterans thrilled when Russell Wilson was traded and Bobby Wagner was released? I doubt it but they know it's how the league works and they played they asses off and made the playoffs. It would be the same thing here.

[steelerhater]

There's not going to be a rebuild. Lamar will be franchised and traded.Tyler Huntley will get the nod as starter. He played as well as any quarterback in the playoffs with JAGS as his primary receivers. A receiver and cornerback will be drafted. Bateman and Andrews will have help. Ravens defense will keep the offense in the game. The Ravens are so close to being a superbowl contender, but still have John Harbaugh as the impediment.

Huntley doesn’t have the arm to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Interesting that all 4 teams left spent less than the Ravens.

So salary cap for 2022 was like 208 million. The guys who are way over the cap have money from carry over the previous yr.
The ravens are always up at the cap and never carry over 10 of millions like other teams do.
Eric decosta spoke about trying to align the roster so that they would have money available for Lamar's contract like they didnt with flacco the 2nd time around.
So now we beat the team up for trying to keep money for lamar and they are actually over the cap .

We have the best fans

Bolded teams in playoffs with the Ravens in the middle of that group, and the final 4 are all under the Ravens spending, so I'm not sure that this list has the results you're looking for . . .
