Per Shefty, Broncos to release Wilson, will incur an $85 million dead cap hit; ouch, highest ever

I would be thrilled with Newton at 30, or even early in the 2nd if they can trade down abfew spots. Morgan, a bit high for him, he is a project but has the potential to be a solid starting tackle, on the right side, not sure he is a left tackle in the NFL. Burton I would be very disappointed if he were a Raven. Talk about a moody player, he has almost all of the tools, he is only missing humility. If he doesn't get the ball when he is open, he pouts and disappears. Pearsall is an interesting one, I think he will be more of a slot guy, the Ravens really need a deep X guy, someone who will clear the middle on deep crosses, or command a safety over the top. There are a number of guys this year who qualify for that, a trade up in the 2nd could land one.

Man, the wide outs were flying, some surprises with a couple big names running "slow" I will say, some players play faster, something about game adrenaline that allows them to relax and just run.

Oh I got you, some good depth in this draft at dB with speed that should be there on day 2. I suspect they will likely draft online at 30, if they stay there, very likely they trade down to get more day 2 picks, this draft is so deep at depth where the team needs it.

Yeah, but, he has short arms and not much power. Could be a good role player, rotational player on the defensive line. Late round pick, 4th, 5th?

Man, a whole lot of sub 4.4 times for dbs, some good athletism from defenders alone the line.

Yeah, Bowser and Riccard alone will free up a big chunck.

Combine starts today, though a few high profile players have said they will not work out at the combine. I used to really enjoy watching them go through the drills, you can really see their athletism in drills. The cone drills can help one see if a player has quick feet, a little wiggle. The gauntlet, now for receivers, this tells you how good their hand-eye coordination is, and of course how good they catch with their hands

No way they move away from road graders, they open holes for the quick shifty backs that can break a big run. Monken loves big lines that can wear a defense out.

Yeah, is he worth that money? Yep, but is he worth having to lose two or 3 other players who fit accentuate the roster? Probably not, look to the draft to replace him

Yeah, tagging him put him at what, 21 mil? There are moves that they would have to make any way, converting salary to bonus, extensions, etc, but those moves might not have been enough, on their own to keep him, now, perhaps they are...

Yep, it puts them in a decent spot to make a few moves, nothing outlandish mind you, but some, maybe even keeping Madebeke

To 255.4, a record raise.. yippie https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-salary-cap-skyrockets-to-255-4-million-for-2024-season-up-record-30-6-million-from-2023/

Yeah they would save about 8 mil if they cut him, but then have almost twice that in dead money. The Ravens have a ton of dead money already, thanks to the "new way" of doing contracts. You want to do void Yeats they come back to bite you if you can't get an extension done in time. I think they hang onto him one more year. This team was so close, and boom, just like that, start over.

But we don't know how she got those injuries nor the extent of the injuries. And what is with the call from the neighbor's house? Did they report hearing a fight? Why did the Baltimore County officers sit outside for 2 hours without knocking on the door?

Like what? What she said he did? Or repeat what he did? What did she tell Baltimore County? Ya know, where this reportedly happened?

I'm not saying he would, but players have done this before, Ravens players too boot.

The Ravens I am sure know the truth, if it is true that he hit her, I doubt that they keep him.

Well, she gave a different story to each police department. So I'm sure that didn't make the investigation very easy.

Zeitler is the only one I think will not be back. He was very good, but it was rhe best season of his career, like VanNoy, can he repeat it? The Ravens obviously are not convinced or else they would have met his price. They have 3 guards behind him, frankly I'm not too concerned. Stanley finally has an off season to rest, from play and from recovery from surgery, so he gets a real off season. I think that will do wonders for him. Maybe they can get him to take a pay cut to help the cap... Either way, I don't think that the line will be as dire as some fans, media, are making it out to be.

Some not so good news from the Ravens website The Ravens did not sign Zeitler to an extension before yesterday's deadline, meaning his deal is voided and he will become a free agent. The same is true for running back Gus Edwards, safety Geno Stone and cornerback Rock-Ya Sin. By not extending them, the Ravens will reportedly have approximately $8.5 million in dead money on the 2024 salary cap. Zeitler carries a $4 mil dead money hit, so resigning him now would not be a good cap move.

Stanley is likely getting one more year, while he played better, certainly not at the level he is being paid. Guard I think will be fine, they are working on a deal with Zeilter and have Vorhees who will be ready. They do need tackle no doubt, someone to take over for Stanley when it will it be better, cap wise, to cut him next year. Also Moses, bring him back? Either way, at his age, right tackle is another need. The big fella just doesn't seem to be able to handle speed rushers, but with his size and run blocking, plus still on his rookie deal, he is worth keeping around for shortyardage and goal line dutites. There are a few good, not great, but good tackles in the draft, the Ravens should be able to at least fix the right tackle

Alghalor got a 1 year extension, nice move, prove it or lose it...

I wouldn't trade up in the 1st, too costly for what talent is there. Now a trade up in round 2, 3 4, sure, not as costly and better talent for the cost.

Heck no, pending who else, other positions of need, were there at 30. He is a top 6 or 7 for pick 30 if ya get my drift. I would trade up in the 2nd to nab him, especially if the team loses a corner or two in free agency/salary cap purge
