vmax 284 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 They won't trade him unless they can get a #1 pick. He'll play next year and then move on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

papasmurfbell 16 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 They will get a 1 for him. He has that value. Better to take that known quantity when you are desperate for most teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldno82 70 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GrubberRaven 88 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I'm still frustrated we gave Stanley a huge pay day. Has the guy ever played a full season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsylvester 49 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Nope, close, 12, 15, 15, 14, 6... I am with you, I think he is over rated... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 49 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GrubberRaven 88 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 What if... We keep Brown and then franchise tag him after next. Would we be able to ship Ronnie after a year or two? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
papasmurfbell 16 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldno82 70 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

papasmurfbell 16 Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 You can use the #1 for a WR and use a 2nd rounder to get a RT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
