It is from an instagram post from a guy who supposedly has good connections and is "never" wrong on his info. Ive never heard of him, but came across it just googling ravens info

Sure is if he signs it, providing it is true

Yeah, close to $13 mil per season, no word on signing bonus yet

Likely because of his contract and coming back from that achilles injury. They must not have considered that playing at a high level as he did in Mini was a pipe dream the first year. It's clear in the program though that he had a lot of issues with the structure of the offense that also lead to him playing poorly.

Its pretty good so far, Burrow, Cousins & Goff. Burrow is clearly a pretty boy, my goodness, talented no doubt but i bet he gets a manny pedi before, at half time and after each game complete with those little fish that nibble on the feet

If you have the Netflix, the quarterback series is back and new

Maybe, he didn't do much for Kc, but at the very least, I hope the younger receivers can learn from him

During a conversation with cornerback Marlon Humphrey and a strength coach this offseason, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was asked: "Since you've been on other teams, what do you think about the Ravens from the outside looking in?" Hopkins' response caught them off guard. "It seems like there's been a piece that's been missing," Hopkins told them. "I could be that addition. I could not be that addition." Hopkins' impact in his first season with Baltimore will likely come down to how much faith Lamar Jackson has in him. Hopkins' resume has been so built on pulling in tight window passes that Humphrey referred to him as "Mr. Contested Catch." During Hopkins' streak of four straight Pro Bowl seasons (2017 to 2020), he led the NFL by catching 12 touchdown passes on tight window throws, which are pass attempts when the separation between the target and nearest defender is less than one yard at pass arrival. Since entering the league in 2015, he has made 84 closely contested receptions, ranking fifth among active players. But Jackson has thrived by finding the wide open receiver. His 52 attempts into tight windows last season were the fewest among quarterbacks with at least 500 dropbacks. "You're speaking to trust," Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin said. "[Hopkins is] a wide receiver that can play strong [with] big, strong hands that quarterbacks love. That's a really good comfort level for a quarterback, when you can put the ball in the vicinity and trust that guy is going to make a play. So, we look forward to what that relationship is going to be like." Hopkins is averaging 2.54 yards of separation since the statistic first started being tracked in 2016. Last season, Jackson targeted players who averaged 4.26 yards of separation, the highest in the league. How long will it take for Hopkins and Jackson to gain chemistry? Hopkins joked that he knows what it takes to connect with quarterbacks because he's probably played with more of them than any other receiver. In 12 seasons, he's caught passes from 19 different quarterbacks -- from former Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub to Patrick Mahomes. This offseason, Jackson and Hopkins have had limited time on the field. They have been together for three practices, including one at a voluntary workout and two at mandatory minicamp. "I don't think it's a [set] time frame," Hopkins said. "A guy like Lamar, who's a veteran quarterback, he's played a lot of football. Myself, I play a lot of football. We see things differently, but I've had rookie quarterbacks that have taken longer. So, it differs." Jackson has long wanted to throw passes to Hopkins. During the 2023 offseason, Jackson suggested to the Ravens that they bring in Hopkins and Odell Beckham Jr. Baltimore added Beckham that year, but it's taken two years for Hopkins to land. He signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Baltimore in March. It didn't take long for Hopkins and Jackson to connect during a simulated third-down situation in minicamp. Jackson's pass went low over the middle to Hopkins, who slid to make a one-handed grab. "He is different," Jackson said. "He caught the ball so smoothly and got up [easily]. I don't even think he put his other hand on the ground to get up; he just caught the ball and just started [running]. That's some super vet type of stuff. It's just dope to have him [here], and I am looking forward to throwing a lot of touchdowns to him this year." Hopkins has put together one of the most prolific careers for a wide receiver. He ranks 16th all-time with 984 receptions and is 21st with 12,965 yards receiving. Now, at the age of 33, Hopkins feels like he has a lot left for Jackson and the only offense to eclipse 7,000 yards last season. For those who doubt him, he provided a photo as proof. Hopkins posted an Instagram story from the second offseason practice of the fastest players, which showed him clocking a speed of 20 mph. He was tied for second with WR Devontez Walker and behind CB Marquise Robinson, who ran 20.2 mph. "I'm old and can't run," Hopkins sarcastically wrote on social media, adding a shushing face emoji. Hopkins has had only one 1,000-yard season over the past four years, but Baltimore doesn't need him to be the go-to receiver. Zay Flowers has become Jackson's top target, and Rashod Bateman is the Ravens' most productive downfield threat. The Ravens envision Hopkins stepping up in clutch moments, jumping high to make one of his signature contested catches. "He's been in big games before," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "He's made plays in the big games. He knows how to make plays. There's not going to be any situation that's going to be too big for him." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45582207/deandre-hopkins-baltimore-ravens-lamar-jackson-contested-catches

More on Ramsey as a Dolphin, frankly, I'm surprised he was not benched a few times and that this was kept quiet for so long. He won't get away with this behavior with Tomlin

A lot of good players, so few spots truly open.

Both kickers they had in the camps so far started out really well, then faltered in the latest camp. I am sure when real camp starts, they will, If they feel the need, bring a kicker in.

Great question, will Heyward have anything left in the tank? He looked pretty spent the 2nd half of the season

Ack, did you read the first part, most of the kickers drafted washed out of the NFL. It's OTAs, new snapper to get used to, new holder, tired leg maybe because they need to get into NFL shape. He did great in the first camp, struggled in the last camp. To be expected.

The Miami Dolphins have traded three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for three-time All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a pick swap, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. As part of the trade, the Dolphins are sending a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Steelers and will receive a 2027 fifth-round pick back from Pittsburgh. Ramsey will get a $1.5 million raise this season, bringing his 2025 compensation up to $26.6 million, sources told Schefter. Smith will receive a one-year contract extension worth $12 million, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told Schefter. Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick heads back to Miami, where he began his career after the Dolphins selected him 11th overall in the 2018 draft. The Dolphins traded him to the Steelers in 2019 as he grew unhappy with his role on the team after then-coach Brian Flores moved him from safety to nickelback. Ramsey, who has 24 interceptions in his career, joins a loaded cornerback group with the Steelers, who signed Darius Slay Jr. in free agency earlier this offseason and also have incumbent starter Joey Porter Jr. Without Fitzpatrick, DeShon Elliott, who signed a two-year extension this offseason, is the most veteran safety at the position for Pittsburgh, but Ramsey, a cornerback throughout his nine-year NFL career, could transition to safety. The Steelers also signed free safety Juan Thornhill, a former Kansas City Chiefs second-round pick, in free agency. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45617415/steelers-acquire-all-pro-cb-jalen-ramsey-trade-dolphins

Drafting kickers is a notoriously risky proposition. To illustrate, from 2010-16, only 11 kickers were selected through the NFL draft. Of those 11 drafted kickers, only three — Greg Zuerlein, Randy Bullock, and Dustin Hopkins — are still in the NFL today In the meantime, several undrafted kickers have made impressive careers for themselves. Justin Tucker is the prime example, as he ended his time in Baltimore with him holding the highest field goal conversion percentage in NFL history. Players like Brandon Aubrey, Chris Boswell, Cameron Dicker, and Younghoe Koo have all followed in Tucker’s footsteps as undrafted standouts in recent years. The Patriots knew they were going to add a kicker at some point in the offseason, but in the sixth round of the draft, one certain factor led them to pull the trigger on Borregales. Per Reiss, the Patriots brass knew that Baltimore was going to be looking to draft a kicker at some point to address Tucker’s troubling legal situation. Four picks in front of the Ravens, they tabbed Borregales. Baltimore ended up with Arizona’s Tyler Loop instead, who has reportedly been struggling so far in offseason activities. Regardless, Borregales stands to be a key player in New England’s rookie class. Borregales never converted less that 80 percent of his kicks in four years with the Hurricanes, and he ended his time in Coral Gables with his strongest season. In a high-scoring offense led by No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, Borregales did his part converting all 62 extra point attempts and 18 of 19 field goals attempts, including a 56-yarder. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/patriots-kept-k-andy-borregales-from-falling-to-ravens
