 Man, Raven's News, I feel like when it rains, it pours and it gets nonstop. I feel like I just saw you guys a couple minutes ago. Anyway, YouTube team keep it clean. There was something going around saying that it's reported that Bobby Wagner, he wants a one year, $11 million deal. And you know what? I wouldn't be mad at Bobby Wagner for being the one that's pushing that. Why not try to get as much money as you can for one year? Because it's no long-term commitment. You already made a lot of bread that will be a significant amount of money for one year. And then if you show these people like, hey, I still got it, I can play, which we know you can, then you get the cash out even more the following season. And he is his own agent, which is something that I forget about a lot of times. So with a lot of these reports that go out, it could be him pushing out these reports because he gets to control his own narrative. Well, that's unless these teams, they push something out to any other teams that they know are interested in him. But anyway, so apparently, that's why he has not been signed to the Rams yet, because he apparently wants an $11 million deal and the Rams are like, ooh, I don't know about that. But then the Ravens, the Ravens. Justina Anderson, she not only reported that the Ravens offered Bobby Wagner a contract, but let's just read the report verbatim word for word. She said, I'm told the Ravens feel they have a very competitive offer to Bobby Wagner in comparison, check the in comparison to the Rams. Now, with that part, I was shocked when they, first I was shocked at the deal that they gave Marcus Williams. Like it took me back to the Earl Thomas days when they first signed him and just how large of a contract it was for an outside free agent. I was like, wow, with Earl Thomas, I couldn't believe it. And then 35 million guaranteed on top of that, I was like, what? Who are these Ravens shelling out this kind of money to an outside guy? They don't do this type of stuff on a regular. So then the Ravens, they went in a couple years later, three years later, they threw the same thing again, but even more, I was like, whoa, whoa. But then what really got me was the report that came out that these Baltimore Ravens, that we know, that y'all know that all of us are very familiar with that they actually outbid the Philadelphia Eagles when it came to Marcus Williams services and was like, what? So this, this right here, but she says they have a very competitive offer to Bobby Wagner in comparison to the Rams. So this sounds like another potential outbidding. Now, even though that part surprises me a bit, I think the part that nobody is surprised about is that the Ravens, they're willing to do a little outbidding when it comes to defense. Just a little nugget of that throwing in. But anyway, let's read the rest of the report. It says, the focus of the Wagner pitch was his addition to an already stacked defense and his ability to add to his legacy with the balance of Baltimore's team per league sources. Now, I ain't trying to do any shameless plugs or anything like that, but please, here in this report, shout out to my guy, Rodeo. Rodeo, I hope you're watching this. He sent a very fun, a very different kind of question from subscriber in a video that we did yesterday, the one talking about titled, if the Ravens were really drafted, why receive early? And his question, he said, if you, if you were an agent, if you were an agent and you had to pitch a player on joining the Baltimore Ravens, how would you go about that? Where would you take that player to eat? What would be one of the things that you would tell him is great about the Ravens? What would you tell him is bad about the Ravens? How would you really pitch to that free agent player? And one of the things that I said, what the Ravens, as far as a defensive player, is that the Ravens could pitch that defensive player on legacy. Like say, hey, you know Ray Lewis, you know, air read, to rail sucks, loading, I like Ravens have had so many great defensive players. Ravens are a team that's been built on defense. Even though I still feel like the philosophy needs some updating and some upgrading, that's how they could sell for a defensive player. It'd be much easier for Ravens team to sell a defensive player than it would be for an offensive player. Cause Ravens still got quite a bit of tweaking to do on offense, and hopefully they will do that. But I think for the Ravens, as far as, especially with free agents, actions are gonna have to speak a whole lot louder than words. Now, last season, the actions, they were speaking pretty loud when it came to the passing game. But again, let's see what happens when Ravens have a healthy roster, if they're still gonna have this heavy dose of the passing game, or if they're still gonna be run, that's to be determined. But anyway, back to this. When Jocina Anderson said that, that the focus of the Wagner pitch was his addition to an already stacked defense and his ability to add to his legacy with the balance of Baltimore's team. I was like, man, we were literally just talking about this in the video yesterday. We were just talking about that. And then this comes out. We were just talking about Patrick McCary being the starting center for the Ravens. That seeming like that's their plan. Then a couple of days later, John Hubbaugh, he comes out and says it. Coincidence? Who knows? But anyway, the Ravens with them have, they obviously got some significant interest in one Bobby Wagner, obviously. I mean, I can understand why. He would definitely make the Ravens that much better. And he would really, and I said earlier in the video today, when we covered John Hubbaugh, his presser, I said that when he spoke openly, he ain't, I mean, it wasn't super open, but the fact that he spoke about Bobby Wagner the way that he did, and said that, oh, I can't say that we haven't been speaking to him, we haven't been talking to him. When him saying that, they don't usually do that. That's why I, again, I'm not trying to get anybody hyped up, man. I ain't trying to get nobody overly hyped, overly excited or anything. But that's why I said in that video, which was like an hour and change ago, maybe by the time you see this, it'd be like two hours, who knows. But that's why I said in that video that I feel like the Ravens are gonna get it done with Bobby Wagner. Because John Hubbaugh, they don't openly speak about no guy that they had him for a visit. Like they don't do that, man. They don't do that. Even if they ask directly, oh, so we heard about reports about Bobby Wagner coming into town. Oh, what's that about? They would normally say, oh, we just, we look at everybody. We look at any kind of way that we can update our roster, upgrade our roster. We look at every single position and see ways we can get better. That's something that they would normally say. They don't normally say, oh, hey, hey, we can't say, we are talking to Bobby Wagner. No, no, no, no, they don't do that. So I think something with Bobby Wagner gets done. I know, I didn't see a lot of people in the comments section think that, say that they think that with Bobby Wagner could be one of those Judevian Clowney type situations. To where he waits, you know. Y'all know I love Judevian Clowney. Y'all know that, man. I am a very big fan of Judevian Clowney. I have wanted him on the Ravens for a very long time, very long time. Hasn't happened, probably won't happen, but I have still wanted it to happen. But one thing with Judevian Clowney, he takes his time. You are not about to rush Judevian Clowney for nothing. Nothing. I could imagine, I wonder how it is like when his family goes out to dinner with him. Like his family probably, they probably eat their meals and stuff. They probably order dessert and whatever. And Judevian Clowney probably will still be on the appetizer. Just ended up taking his time, eating little pieces of calamari, half by half, not even one by one, half by half, because he takes his time. But that's what a lot of people think this whole Bobby Wagner thing could be. Could be him just pacing it, going at his own pace, going at his own speed, taking his time, being his own agent. Sounds familiar, right? Shout out to Lamar Jackson. Going at his own speed, taking his own time, being his own agent. And the Ravens, of course, being interested in signing him as well. So patience. Patience is what it's gonna take. Patience is what it's gonna be. And patience is, that's the result of this whole thing. It's patience, and that's it. Bobby Wagner, whenever he does make his decision, that's gonna be when he makes his decision. Whether it's the Ravens, whether it's the Rams. I do, again, I do think that it's gonna be the Ravens. And it ain't no bias or nothing, as y'all already know. Cause initially, when it was reported that he was first visiting with the Rams, I was like, oh yeah, done deal, let's finish. That's a wrap, cause Rams get what they want. If they want somebody, they get them. But if there's an impasse, when it comes to the contract, that could be a big hold up. And again, if they get the right person in that room, talking to Bobby Wagner or they get the right person on FaceTime since they in Florida and Bobby Wagner is wherever Bobby Wagner is, they get the right person speaking to him. They like, you can like Rams, Rams could sell them easy too. They could say like, look, we just came from winning the Super Bowl and what you, you think we about to stop? Or you think we about to take a break this year? Forget them draft picks. We ain't worried about them draft pick. Like no, we are still trying to win now as you already know. We just re-signed Matt Stafford to his deal. We still got Cooper Cup. We trying to get O'Dell Beckham Jr. back. We got Aaron Donald, I mean, hey, we still got Jalen Ramsey of course. We doing a little bit of retooling here and there, but we still, we just signed Allen Robinson. So we still gonna be in this thing. So don't think we going anywhere. So you know what we capable of, you know what we can do, you know how we get down. So if you want to come through, hey, you more than welcome. Rams can sell them easy, easy on that. Like, like, oh, oh, you're like, y'all are going all in. Yo, y'all gonna go all in this year too? Oh yeah, I'm with it. Easy sale. But for Ravens, they gotta use their legacy. They gotta use what it's been, what they're known for within Baltimore. And that's of course defense. That's defense. And they, I could see them offering more money. And that's so, that's so weird to say about the Ravens. But again, it's a defensive player. So you already know what time it is. But it's so weird to hear, to say that, to hear yourself saying that, I could see, let me, wait a minute. I gotta pull up a camera to actually look at myself, actually say this. Oh, I could look at this camera, but I gotta look at the camera on my phone. I could see the Ravens actually offering more money to a free agent than another team. Wow, that's crazy. Let me run it back. I could actually see the Ravens offering more money to a free agent than another team. It's just, it's so crazy to like, to say that out loud. Y'all do the exercise at home too. Record yourself, cause it's real. Actually see the Ravens offering more money to a free agent than another team. That's wild, man. That's wild. Cause we're not used to that. But hey, maybe this is the start of these new new Ravens. Shout out to ATL, but we see how this thing goes. We on Bobby Wagner watch still. Remember, I don't know if y'all remember a couple of years ago, well, for those that were here, of course, when we was on Jadaven Clowney watch, cause, and there was always something every day with Jadaven Clowney. It was always something. But with Bobby Wagner, we gonna see. Cause again, Jadaven Clowney had an agent. So this agent, he could put different stuff out there to keep people's wheels turning on his, on his client and whatnot. But Bobby Wagner, again, he's his own agent. So he controls that narrative more. So the news with Bobby Wagner, it's been, it's been slow and steady, slow and steady. So we'll see if that ends up winning the race for these Baltimore Ravens. I love y'all so much, Team Keep It Clean. I always appreciate you all listening and being willing to listen and come through and just really have a good time, man. Cause we just, we just here having a good time. I don't take none of this stuff too serious. We have our talks, our disagreements, our agreements, our thing pieces, all that. We talk about all that, all kind of stuff with the Ravens and just NFL in general. But it's just all in fun. We're having a good time, man. I hope y'all are having a good time too. Team Keep It Clean, I appreciate y'all. We out.
