Free Agency - Best of Who's Left

**wickedsolo** · 03-20-2023, 10:37 AM

Now that the first wave of free agency has subsided....

One thing that is interesting...not a lot of massive deals getting tossed out there. Top WR deal is Allen Lazard averaging 11M per year. RB avg is around 6.5M per year for guys like Miles Sanders, who is one of the best in the league. OL was arguably the top FA targets during the first wave.

So many running backs. It's pretty crazy for that much talent at any position a week after it starts.

Ravens need an edge rusher could Leonard Floyd make sense?

I'm just surprised at how low the RB contracts are.

Miles Sanders isn't even 26 years old yet and is coming off a season where he had over 1200 yards rushing, 11 TDs, and played in the Super Bowl. The best he could do was 4yrs, $25M, with $13 guaranteed.

Ravens are going to sit tight and protect their draft space until there is a resolution on the QB. One of only 2 teams that hasn't added anyone new.

some guys will work a deal so that they can keep the talent around them, some do the opposite

Maybe?

I just don't think the Ravens will do anything until the Lamar situation is settled.

The other edge I like is Duwuane Smoot. He's not a great pass-rusher, but he's solid, and he's good against the run. He's someone that will get you 5 or 6 sacks a year, but he'll have a ton of QB hits and pressures.

Are any of those DT's able to generate interior Pass Rush? If so, I want that person if the team can afford it.

Yeah, I get it. I just want it to be over because it's holding up any other potential serious moves not knowing will Lamar be playing on the tag, signing a new deal freeing up cap space or traded.

Dobbins next season is going to be looking at a David Montgomery type contract and that's assuming a good year. There's just too much competition available at the position. Dobbins is now in year 4 with no 1000 yard rushing seasons and just 11 rushing TDs and 1 receiving TD. That's a tough spot going into a contract year. Missing a season as a running back is so much worse than other positions.

Byron Jones said he could barely walk on twitter

Oshane Ximines is interesting, 26yr old former 3rd round pick lacks NFL production

Byron Pringle seems like a cheap vet the ravens would bring in the room for , some reason

I could see Nelson Algohlor, he isnt good but he produces everywhere he's been I could see the ravens betting on him providing something

Nope. Campbell is probably the best at that of the group and at his age it's not a lot. Ioannidis used to but it's been 3 or 4 years since that happened.

Can't believe we didn't want Mack Hollins for one year 2.5 million.

Probably zero-ing in on the corpse of Jarvis Landry.

Chark is the last receiver I'd be interested in, but he'll want too much for us.

Draft is loaded with RBs, so nobody is paying up for any.
