Yep, good for him to take advantage of it, but also smart enough to change the pay. On the open market now that teams can see his true talent, he wouldn't get much.
Thanks for the comp pick though
-
Over paid to start with, now accepts a pay cut to stay employed....
Initially slated to make $6.475 million in 2025, Stone has agreed to a $4.9 million deal with $1.5 million guaranteed.

Tucker was let go based on the court of public opinion, no limitations on that.... I'm sure the team had indications from the league that they, the league, would be coming down hard on Tucker.
Not sure what to make of Green, high-school, then an annomus claim against him in college. Bad girl friends he used and moved on from?
Time will tell i guess. I'm just surprised that they even opened the door for him given what was going on with Tucker

He was gone the moment a kicker was drafted. They just needed the lawyers to say the team is fully covered by football decisions.
as for green if he stays clean he should be insulated. The statute of limitations will be over in 4 yrs.
For arrests, not civil, Tucker's accusations are almost from 10 years ago
-
I really hate the over seas games, so stupid... yes, I am awake at the time the games start, but I never watch them live, my little protest
-
Yeah, we will see what happens with Green if he balls out, gets a huge pay day and then his accusers come out to sue him in a few years if the Ravens will release him.
Granted, Tucker had his on field issues the past 2 years, still.... not much of a competition, one, two days of watching Loop drill 60+ yarders, in practice
-
Surprised this soon. I know Loop has looked great in early camp, but wowza

-
They nabbed some big, powerful, quick footed linemen between the draft and undrafted. Hopefully a few of them work out well. Could set this offense up for a few years.
-
Kind of hard to cut him now, especially with the drafting of a player accused twice, once in high-school, once in college of sexual assault. Now no charges were brought and the case never made it to civil court, but will it if he signs a big deal?
Plus, best to wait & see if the kid they drafted is reliable enough to replace Tucker. He would be a June 1 cut any way.
-
Not much happening between now & then, so not so much as big deal unless he tore it.
The Ravens signed 17 undrafted free agents, most will not make the team, but will 1 or 5?

The Ravens drafted kicker Tyler Loop in the sixth round last month and their plans at the position came up during John Harbaugh’s press conference at the team’s rookie minicamp on Sunday.
Loop’s arrival came with Justin Tucker under investigation from the league due to sexual assault allegations and Harbaugh said on Sunday that investigation is still going on. Absent any announcement from the league about Tucker’s status, Harbaugh said that any decisions in the “next few weeks will be based on football.”
“As you know, Justin’s been in the building the last couple of weeks kicking and everything,” Harbaugh said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. “Got a chance to talk a little bit. I would just say, from the standpoint of the investigation and all that, we don’t know anything. We haven’t been given any information. As it should be, it’s all done the way it’s done. We don’t know anything along those lines, so we can’t make any decision based on that. Every decision we make has to be made on football.” -
Cool stuff, glad that they stayed put
Sometimes, trades that don't happen at the NFL Draft are more interesting than the ones that do. This year, it seems like the Baltimore Ravens may have been part of one of those ill-fated trades.
On Saturday morning, the Philadelphia Eagles released a behind-the-scenes look at their war room during last week's draft. Early on in that video, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman can be seen on the phone with Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta, inquiring about the idea of trading down from No. 27 overall.
"Hey, buddy. Any interest in moving back?" Roseman asked DeCosta over the phone. "Do you want stuff this year or would you look at next year?"
Of course, the Ravens ended up staying at No. 27 and selecting Georgia safety Malaki Starks. Based on DeCosta's comments after the first round, it sounds like it was a pretty easy decision for them to make.
"We had some opportunities to trade back," DeCosta told reporters. "In the end, you have to look at the excitement of actually getting some additional picks, which we do love, versus what kind of player are you going to get, potentially. And for me, maybe I'm getting older and just a little bit more conservative than I used to be, but I think looking at the quality of player that we had with Starks versus what we might have to get, it just didn't make enough sense for me.
"This was a guy that really checked every single box for us in a lot of different ways. There were some other players that we coveted as well, but in the end, he was by far the best guy available for us when we made the pick."

Yeah, this slotting makes it easier unless they are a) in the top of the 1st round & or b) the team trades up for them

From NBC, Ravens have signed 9 of their 11 picks
Offensive tackle Emery Jones Jr. (third round), inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan (fourth round), and offensive tackle Carson Vinson (fifth round) now are signed. Baltimore’s five sixth-round picks – cornerback Bilhal Kone, kicker Tyler Loop, wide receiver LaJohntay Wester, defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles and cornerback Robert Longerbeam — and the team’s final selection, seventh-round guard Garrett Dellinger, also are under contract.
-
Yeah, the reason he came cheap. But it is a nothing burger if he gets hurts or doesn't pan out. Just depth, if he can stay healthy, very good depth

The Ravens are adding offensive line depth as they signed tackle Joseph Noteboom on Saturday.
Noteboom spent his entire seven-year career with the Rams, playing at both guard and tackle positions. He has played 71 career games with 35 starts.
The Ravens bolstered their offensive line room in the draft by adding Emery Jones Jr. (third round), Carson Vinson (fifth round), and Garrett Dellinger (seventh round). General Manager Eric DeCosta said he sees Jones as a possible swing tackle right away.
Adding the 29-year-old Noteboom gives Baltimore a proven, versatile veteran that can step in when needed. He fills a hole left by the Ravens' swing tackle last season, Josh Jones, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks.

Yes, I agree, the turn overs from Lamar in the playoffs are perhaps the biggest issue. Without them last year, I've no doubt the Ravens win the Super Bowl; none. They controlled the Bills right up to the point of his fumble, the Bills defense could not stop the Ravens offense and were getting gassed.
But, Mahomes had a defense that could make up for his failings last year, up until the Eagles came calling.
Lamar last year against Buffalo, did not have that, the pass rush disappeared, the picks were dropped, even though the defense forced numerous punts, the rest of the offense also dropped the ball, pun fully intended.
We shall see if Lamar grows from these set backs, wins a Super Bowl or two. Maybe he never does, ala Marino and other great qbs.
-
If you look at the strides of improvement from Lamar's passing over the past few years yes, you can see a vast improvement. Sure, he still struggles with those deep passes, but he is on par with most of the best and still getting better.
Look at Mahomes last year, bad line, no real threat at receivers nor true running game, he was not as good as year's past.
My point, it takes a lot to reveal a qbs true talent, and I think we are now seeing Lamar really coming into his own.
-
I have to believe that Lamar knows his worth to this team, that he now realizes how tasty a championship can be and perhaps more importantly, what it takes ro get one. He is smart, sees how these high salaries are hurting a team's chance to win it all.
So yes, I am sure he wants the money, shoot he has enough now for a generation or two even if he stopped playing now. He will get his, and make sure so do the teammates needed to get him what he really wants, a ring.

Dak is a Cowboy, like the Browns, different rules

What are the possible outlines of a new deal Lamar would take?
Likey just as with Allen who sign a six year deal worth $55 mil per year. Lamar will get, based on Harbs and Eric's own words, a higher or the highest deal. So at least $56 mil per year, six year deal, the last 2 maybe void years.
-
Oh he will redo his deal, as will Smith, that will give the team close to $80-90 mil in cap space next year
-
They brought in a couple of centers via undrafter free agency, we shall see how good one or both are. I do expect Lindy to be reasonable
