I agree that it may take a year or so to see if these guys mature. But, I don't why we didn't pick the best college kicker, the guy who won the Lou Groza award.

On a side note, the two guys doing the kicking in the OTA's aren't setting the kicking game on fire. We may have mis-used a draft pick. But, camp and pre-season will tell the tale.

I wonder how long it'll take this deal to happen? Months? Next off-season? The last deal went down to the wire.

So much is a fair contract renegotiation price range? How much cap hit? $200mil guaranteed with $25mil/year in salary for 10 years with a cap hit around $28mil? That would be slightly more than what Hurts signed for. Or, does he still want an all guaranteed contract which I wouldn't want to see? If we do nothing, his cap hit for next year is around $75mil and we can't allow that as it would gut the team around him.

That is really weird stuff especially the microphone part and the deadline offer that was hastilly accepted. I find it very hard to understand why Lamar won't get an agent. It can't be just the cut the agent gets, can it? What else is in play here and I wonder what the team is going to do about reworking his contract for next year.

Yep, lots of good reports. Walker is probably ready but may not get much opportunity to play, though wide receivers are a bit like cornerbacks, you can never have enough of them because of injuries. I'm torn on the TE front. I think Andrews has a few good years to go yet but Likely is ready. Maybe we can keep both???

I just drank the purple Kool-Aid. I think this might just be the Ravens' year. So much talent on offense and defense! I don't think we've ever had such a well-rounded team between offensive and defensive talent.

Family always comes first for most people. If Brady had prioritized his family, well, he might have had one or two less Super Bowls but might still have his family.

To win that trophy.

Whoa...I had no idea. Hope he gets it worked out. Seems to really enjoy practice when he's there.

Yes. Also true.

If he plays not to get hurt, he'll probably wind up being hurt just due to the nature of the game. But the risk cost to the franchise is minimal. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/ravens-sign-cb-jaire-alexander#google_vignette

Consensus is it was a good move: https://www.baltimoresun.com/2025/06/18/instant-analysis-ravens-sign-jaire-alexander/

Not trying to start anything, but if Lamar likes practicing so much, why doesn't he show up for more of it?

4 mil with an additional 2 mil in incentives. Probably a good move the Ravens were contemplating anyway. Think of it as insurance for our secondary which always seems to get shorthanded as the season progresses.

I can see him coming here on a one year prove-it. He might be useful in a rotation. I see him mostly as a backup at this stage and. If he gets hurt and can't play we wouldn't lose much if the deal is cheap enough.

I don't know what to make of Cleveland. He was almost cut probably more than once but has played OK in games. He deserves a chance to at least compete for both LG and RG positions. So right now I agree it's up for grabs.

He and Kyle back there will be something to see.

Man, I sure hope this kid stays healthy because I am really looking forward to seeing him play.

When Pagano gets excited, I'm excited.

Wiggins is the real deal.

Good news on T.J. We need as many corners as we can get since they always seem to get hurt here. Interesting comment about Likely from Starks!

I wasn't calling out Oweh specifically. I just meant that generally you can't go by much until you see them compete against each other or a different team.

I'm going to try and keep an open mind about this until I can see him do well in camp and play in some preseason games. I've been disappointed before about rave reviews in OTA's that fade away a couple of months later.

If he stays healthy, it will be another step up for the front office.
