vmax Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 They won't trade him unless they can get a #1 pick. He'll play next year and then move on.
tsylvester Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Letting him walk would be a huge mistake I don't think Eric makes
papasmurfbell Posted February 11, 2021 Author Posted February 11, 2021 They will get a 1 for him. He has that value. Better to take that known quantity when you are desperate for most teams.
oldno82 Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 I'd take a #1 for him, albeit reluctantly. I wanted him to stay here and bookend Stanley, but he wants to go. If they get a #1 for him, it would be worth it. Anybody know what weak teams are desperate for a stud LT who's young?

GrubberRaven Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 I'm still frustrated we gave Stanley a huge pay day. Has the guy ever played a full season?
tsylvester Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Nope, close, 12, 15, 15, 14, 6... I am with you, I think he is over rated...

I understand why they did it. They thought, and rightly so, that with him they had a playoff contending team and line. I really want Brown. He's a Raven. A first round pick would soften the blow.
tsylvester Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 They might have been betting, for lack of a better word, that Brown would want to stay at right tackle. The question becomes; if Stanley never got hurt, thus Brown not being able to play left tackle, would he, Brown, then be wanting left tackle money? With Brown and Stanley at tackles, Phillips and Bozeman at guards and maybe Castillo at center, that would have been or could have been a formidable offensive line. Sadly now, they likely have to find a new right tackle.
GrubberRaven Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 What if... We keep Brown and then franchise tag him after next. Would we be able to ship Ronnie after a year or two?
papasmurfbell Posted February 11, 2021 Author Posted February 11, 2021 https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/ronnie-stanley-18954/ Not really until 2023. He also has yearly options bonuses that tack on too. Really this deal is dead after 2023 also.
oldno82 Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Brown is good, no doubt about it. And he plays like a Raven. But you can't expect him to take RT money when he can play LT so well. If we can get a #1, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a ready-to-start RT at first round in the draft. Beats nothing in a year any way.

papasmurfbell Posted February 12, 2021 Author Posted February 12, 2021 You can use the #1 for a WR and use a 2nd rounder to get a RT.
tsylvester Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Salary cap min raised to $180 mil, that is encouraging, per Espn
tsylvester Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 The cap is set at $182.5 mil according to Espn..ouch
papasmurfbell Posted March 11, 2021 Author Posted March 11, 2021 Trade him. He will never have higher value. He will be priced out of keeping long term.
papasmurfbell Posted March 11, 2021 Author Posted March 11, 2021 He wasn't coming back. Really he was only a 1 yr contributor.
tsylvester Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Brown getting 6 teams interested in him, but with KC releasing two very good, albeit injured tackles, that might drop his price... Ingram was a very good leader...
papasmurfbell Posted March 12, 2021 Author Posted March 12, 2021 They need producers. A team needs leaders in guys who will be around for a while. RBs have to short a career to be good for that.
tsylvester Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Tyus Bowser brought back, good move, showed growth, works hard... Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports that Bowser has agreed to a four-year deal to remain in Baltimore. The deal is worth $22 million with another $5 million available in incentives and includes $12 million in guaranteed money.
