Good post. Got to hear from all the guys I wanted to for now.

More on what Doyle expects from his offense. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/declan-doyle-ravens-offense-vision-lamar-jackson-play-caller and, "The work will begin in earnest at voluntary organized team activities this spring. Doyle did not equivocate. Championship standards, he implied, require championship attendance. “We would expect them to be here,” he said. That expectation extends, of course, to Jackson."

That is indeed quite interesting and if Lamar really wants to achieve a higher level of greatness, like Brady and Mahomes, this is what he's going to have to do. Otherwise he may never get to wear a Super Bowl ring. By the way, Joe Burrow did it too.

We'll know how motivated he is by way before the OTAs when we see if his contract has been adjusted.

Doyle discusses his role as OC with Lamar as his QB. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/declan-doyle-lamar-jackson-ravens-youngest-coordinator-the-lounge.

Yep...I won't be satisfied unless we have a top 5 defense, or at least a top 10.

Who would you say we should release?

Well, maybe when free agency rolls around or during the combine, we might at least hear from EDC again.

By the way, happy upcoming birthday! Do you, or anybody else know, if there will be another, more in depth interview/presser with our new coach, OC, and DC? Maybe in a few weeks after they've had a chance to get oriented?

That is a good explanation! Now I feel I've got a handle on it. So that's what Bisciotti meant we could do with Lamar's numbers if they can't agree on a new or extended deal. Pretty funny stuff! Thanks! By the way, I just turned 77 last month so you're still a youngster to me.

To be honest, I think I understand it better now after your posts but it's still a hazy concept for me. Must be old age.

If they can get Banks vetted by more than one medical staff of doctors, he would be the one to draft of those 3 in that spot.

Is a void year prorated amount counted against the cap? In other words, if a player is signed to a $30 million bonus over a 6 year contract where years 5 and 6 are void years and the player is cut in year 4, do the 5th and 6th void year amounts of $5mil each just disappear so far as the cap hit is concerned?

They say Howell is too light and might be limited to 3rd down pass rusher in the NFL. Harrumph! Of the three you named that leaves only Lemon and even he's a little light in weight. Whoever we get with the 14th overall pick has to be an impact player on day 1.

I'm still ignorant as to how void years work. WTF are they?
