Rogers won't be playing this year, he has chosen Dauntless as his new faction, they are on a revolt.... Women can ruin everything.... (Ducking)

Just come out of these practices healthy, anything else is a plus...

Tan reworked his deal to get Julio under the cap. Problem, Tan will now cost $41 mil against the cap next year; ouch...

Good move all around. James has a year ofd to get healthy, and has incentive to play to his potential. If he doesn't pan out, nothing "really lost".... Gus deserved the money, hard worker, punishing runner...

Yeah but that cap between him, Tanny, and Brown is going to hurt over the next few years...

Not a bad deal for Ten, provided they get more than 8 games, including the playoffs out of him. In exchange for Jones, the Titans will send a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 fourth-round selection to the Falcons. Along with Jones, the Falcons will send a 2023 sixth-round selection to the Titans. The deal is pending a physical, the Titans said

I think they are going to have to rely on the secondary to give them time in games, get coverage sacks to start the season. Maybe by mid season the pass rush will develop, a true rush specialist will emerge.. Let's hope so...

Cuz it's never too early The NFL's path back to normalcy has met a significant point on the financial side of things. The league and the NFL Players Association have agreed to a salary cap ceiling of $208.2 million for 2022, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday. Pelissero noted that there is not currently an agreed-to cap floor and that the final cap figure will not be set until next February. The ceiling for 2022 is nearly $30 million more than the $182.5 million cap set for 2021, pointing toward an expected spike in future revenue for the league following a season that was primarily played without fans in attendance due to COVID-19. While this might seem irrelevant to those solely focused on 2021, it's highly important for front offices and player agents as they understand how each side can go about working on long-term deals and planning well beyond 2021. The cap ceiling doesn't guarantee that the 2022 cap will be $208.2 million, but at least gives teams and players a point of reference for their financial planning, and indicates the league is headed back toward a cap number most expected before the COVID-19 pandemic caused revenue shortfalls resulting in 2021's reduced cap number. The higher cap ceiling is also good news to players who took less money to bet on themselves while holding out for more available financial liquidity in 2022. Again, it's not guaranteed to land at $208.2 million in 2022, but it indicates the NFL and NFLPA expect money from new media deals, the return of fans to games, etc., should bring the salary cap back in line with previous projections -- and perhaps well beyond it in future years. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-nflpa-agree-to-208-2m-salary-cap-ceiling-for-2022-season

It's all fun & games till you get punched in the mouth...

A lot depends on the health of the secondary, if they stay healthy, wowza, speed, quickness, instincts; they might set a record...

I could see the Ravens starting out 1-4 again, but will they go on a run again, or fall a part... So many ways this season could go...

Hey, if you got a vaccine, now you have a 1 in 3 mill chance to win $40k or up to $400k....

Sure, we can't trust people to stop at stop signs, to not park in fire lanes. So we are supposed to trust them to be vaccinated? Leave the mask mandates in place, open everything up then see what happens. If we don't get a mass contagion, fine, then lift the mask mandate. But if we do, as woth the Yankees, ......

I can see both 13 wins and the other end with 6 loses, should be interesting..

Ill sleep and then fast forward through the commercials.... Hate night games..

Kelly Greg, Justin Bannan and Goose driving like madd men in a golf cart, they even ran into a band stand..

Camp used to be so much fun at McDaniels, man I miss those days

Washington is one to keep an eye on, dude may be undersized, but he can really play; great instincts... Nice signing

We've been talking about this here adnauseam, bout time someone wrote about

NFL.com: Greg Roman: Ravens' new WRs 'expand our profile quite a bit' in passing game. https://www.nfl.com/news/greg-roman-ravens-new-wrs-expand-our-profile-quite-a-bit-in-passing-game The Baltimore Ravens used their first of two first-round picks in the 2021 NFL Draft to upgrade their receiver corps, snagging Rashod Bateman with the No. 27 overall pick, and then added wideout Tylan Wallace in the fourth round. Bateman has the talent to be an alpha in Baltimore with NFL-ready route-running skills. He should immediately complement Marquise Brown atop the Ravens starting corps. Baltimore then returned to the position to add Wallace, who slipped due to injury concerns. Wallace has the skills to be a steal as a route technician with strong hands and a solid catch radius. Bateman and Wallace joined a receiver corps that included Brown, Sammy Watkins, Devin Duvernay, Miles Boykin and James Proche. It's the deepest group of offensive coordinator Greg Roman's tenure. Roman believes the additions this offseason will open up the passing offense for Lamar Jackson. "I don't want to call it an embarrassment of riches, but when you talk about Hollywood and Devin and Miles, I really feel good about the guys we have," Roman said, via the team's official website. "This offense is really one that runs through Lamar. We're always going to do what gives us the best chance to win. When you add talent like that, it's really going to expand our profile quite a bit, actually. To play with the kind of balance that we really want to play with. "I really think it will probably take some pressure off guys that have been here like Marquise, free him up a little bit as well. The field's about 53 yards wide, and I think people are going to have to defend all 53 yards of it." Ravens GM Eric DeCosta took issue with criticisms of his receiver corps ahead of the draft, saying those disparagements were "insulting." DeCosta's actions speak louder than words. Using his first pick and a valuable mid-round selection on wideouts with polished route-running skills underscored his desire to upgrade the group in the draft. Last offseason, the storylines revolved around Jackson's efforts to improve as a passer. The season, it's been about the franchise's plans to buffer the QB with as many weapons as possible. DeCosta swung and missed at bringing in JuJu Smith-Schuster before landing on the former first-round pick Watkins in free agency. He then doubled down in the draft. In his three drafts as general manager, DeCosta has used six selections on wideouts, including first-round picks in Bateman and Brown. Assets have been sunk in improving the passing game once again. Roman believes this is the year that the Ravens can take advantage of defenses selling out to stop Jackson and the rushing attack. "Definitely some things that people are going to see from us that they haven't seen before," Roman said. "Our staff is working really hard and diligently on that. When you really look at who we have to beat in the AFC these days, you've got to have talent everywhere. There's some really good teams out there. I really feel great about what we're building here. Schematically wise, we're always going to change it a little bit. I'd probably say more so this year than we did last year.

According to multiple reports, former Steeler Alejandro Villanueva is signing a two-year, $14 million deal with $8 million guaranteed with the Ravens https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/05/04/alejandro-villanueva-agrees-to-two-year-deal-with-ravens/ Not a bad move

Not going to reach for a guy? Picking a guy who has played corner for only a season or 2 in the 3rd is quite a reach.....

For what it's worth https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-ravens-tackle-nfl-draft-receivers-20210501-xf55joujvbdobm63zfjpu5uwy4-story.html “Well, we have some guys that we think are going to compete right now at the right tackle spot, and we’re excited about that,” general manager Eric DeCosta said Saturday at the team’s post-draft news conference. “As I learned from my mentor [executive vice president] Ozzie Newsome, we don’t have to play games until September. We’re confident that we’ll have a right tackle. We’ll have a strong offensive line. The best guys are going to play. We have great competition, and we’ll be ready to play when the time comes.”

Im hoping Colon wins it outright, he showed more strength than Bozeman. They've been dancing around with center going all the back to Matt Flynn.....

As usual, some great undrafted talent brought in by the Ravens, I wonder if they try for Dylan Moses, the over hyped Bama middle linebacker. Maybe going undrafted will humble him enough to truly learn how to use his talents
