 And you know just what I mean You too, team, keep it clean You see my boy, he like, out of made it Boy, that's my homie, ain't that right in gravy? There's that saying to not mind people who don't matter And usually you would think as a Baltimore Ravens fan If there's a player who's on a completely different team Then something that they say it would not affect you, right? It would not bother you Because they don't play for the Ravens They're not on the Ravens They're not getting ready to be on the Ravens So you ain't got to worry about it But this offseason that has not been the case with Darius Slade Darius Slade I want to almost call him the prince of playing with Ravens fans' emotions I can't call him the king because Lamar Jackson is the king Of playing with Ravens fans' emotions But Darius Slade on his podcast, on the volume He's at it again Because before, a couple weeks ago, he let it be known like Hey, the Ravens, they offered me this money They were really trying to get me I was almost a Baltimore Raven I was this close to being another bird And I know a lot of Ravens fans were crushed by that Oh, they were hurt But now he's at it again But this time on the flip side Literally on the flip side because he was He's on defense, but he's speaking about offense And he's making it sound like There's a receiver that may want to join The Baltimore Ravens He didn't say who, but you just listen to it for yourself Very talented I can say Lamar Receiving Corps is not the greatest But they all fit the scheme for him They probably can't be crazy great Good, you know what I'm saying? I don't know But outside looking in, that's always been You know, the question mark about the Baltimore Ravens And that's a receiver And they're trying to answer that with Odell And I heard a lot of other news But I'm going to keep them news to myself That's probably going to go over there too But I heard a lot of other stuff people want to go over there But we're going to stay tuned And if I'm right, I'm going to tell y'all I was right But I'm going to let y'all just Sizzle y'all little spirit with that one So Darius, playing with all emotions again And he said he talked about something that's been widely known He said that the Ravens receivers, they're not the greatest But he said they fit the scheme And whenever somebody said, but anyway He talked about how He's heard some stuff about somebody else who They want to go over there Now he didn't say the Ravens were necessarily interested in them But he did say that they're interested in going to the Ravens And the way that he worded everything The way that he lined everything up He led us to believe that he was speaking about a wide receiver Who that wide receiver could be I don't know But I do know who I hope it is And y'all already know how I'm feeling about that When the Ravens signed Odell Beckham Jr Before the Ravens signed Odell Beckham Jr Y'all know exactly where I was at After the Ravens signed Odell Beckham Jr Y'all know exactly where I remained I said Odell Beckham Jr. Adding him would be great Odell Beckham Jr. Richard Bateman Awesome He still got Nelson Aguilore He still got Devon Duvenay for now You got Pro Shave for now You got Wallace for now And I gotta say those for now is because Things can change as we all know But I said we need one more Just one more Just just just give me one more Now a lot of people feel like one more could be had via the draft And it could be That is a real possibility They could draft the receiver early But my preference It's just me My preference Would be to go for an established guy Who's like that Odell Beckham Jr was once like that And hopefully he can get back to being like that Richard Bateman seems like he is well on his way But give me one more And if If not saying that it it But if it could be the Andre Remember Remember Rich Eisen Couple days Rich Eisen said Hey if I'm the Ravens I'm calling up the card and say Hey what you want for the Andre Hopkins Ravens are showing a different mindset this year They're showing a different mentality this year Based off of how they are doing some of these contracts Because they're going a route that they never take So Ravens if this is the route that you're going to continue to take I love it Trust me oh I love it I appreciate it I've been waiting on y'all to do this for so long But if you're going to go in don't have step Don't have step No no no no if you're going to go in go all the way in Really push all the chips in because you haven't done that yet You have not done that yet and this You had opportunities in the past to do it But a move like a the Andre and not saying it is him And again Ravens got to be interested because it takes two to tango as we know It takes two One person could be interested in somebody else You could really have feelings for it for this girl You could be loving the old man I really like her so much But if she ain't got feelings for you back Can't nothing happen So it could be the same way this receiver whoever this could be If it is a receiver because again he alluded to it being a receiver But whoever it is they could have ultimate feelings for the Baltimore Ravens But if the Ravens ain't got feelings for them then it's no bueno But one thing about whoever this mysterious person is Whoever this mysterious player is the fact that if they do really want to go to the Baltimore Ravens That can help the Ravens a lot Because if somebody Ravens could take advantage of that and it's business Ravens gonna try to take advantage of anything they possibly can But if this player really wants to go to the Baltimore Ravens And I'll just use the Andre Hopkins as an example I mean why not but if it was the Andre Hopkins just this is a hypothetical baby But if it is the Andre Hopkins and he really wants to go to the Ravens Say for instance Ravens talk to the Cardinals Yeah, okay, we'll give you a 2024 third and fourth We'll give you this year's third and next year's fifth something like that Blah blah whatever they come up with a compensation It may actually be a bit easier For the Ravens to rework the Andre Hopkins contract Because if he really wants to go there and again just hypothetical using him as an example It may not be him But if he really wants to go there he may be like, you know what? I done made a lot of money I done made a whole lot of money throughout my career But I don't know I just I feel like y'all trying to build something over there And I want to be part of it I see you got O'Dell I see you got Rashad Bateman You add me to that With Mark and y'all got a new offense too I want to be there full of more I want to help him out too I really want to bring out the best in him And with all those other receivers too that y'all got We could bring out the best in each other I've been hurt a couple times throughout my career O'Dell's been hurt a couple times throughout his career Rashad Bateman been hurt a couple times throughout his career But you add me to the mix With those two and everything else that y'all have too We alleviate pressure off of each other We alleviate some playing time off of each other Even though I would love to see some some three Y receiving sets All three of them on the field at the same time And then the Mark Andrews Don't get me started man Don't get me started Don't get me started Ravens, Ravens mess around and get DeAndre Hopkins if you want to man Let's mess around man And oh man I'm gonna be running my mouth like crazy man Like crazy But anyway It could work in Ravens favor For whoever it is If they are interested back And whoever that player could be But I I just really hope that it is him I hope something happens And really whoever it is I just really hope that the Ravens are not done The way that they've been doing these void years That's unheard of from the Ravens Baltimore don't even know what void years are They don't mess with that They ain't never been attaining messing no void years man Ever And if they have please inform me when they did that Because I don't recall them ever doing void years I've seen these other teams do it These other teams like manipulating with the void years and stuff and hey Do what you gotta do But the fact that the Ravens have been doing it this year I said oh Ravens wow This is great y'all finally starting to finagle this thing So that shows me that they are starting to be willing to pivot We talked about this a couple of weeks ago In a video where the Ravens had serious interest in Odell Beckham Jr When that report came out that they were seriously interested in him And we talked about how they would they With them with them showing serious interest in Odell Beckham Jr Because they had offered him a contract back then I was saying that this this sort of shows a pivot A serious pivot from the Baltimore Ravens that they may be doing things a bit differently And then the fact that they actually got them and they paid him all that money And they did the void years too Oh, yeah, they definitely doing stuff differently So now it's like all right Ravens like I said earlier Don't have step No have stepping man If you're gonna do this thing Go all the way that's all I'm saying Hopefully this could be for Deandre hopefully it happens like I said But hopefully it could be specifically for Deandre Hopkins because that will make a lot of us Very very happy team can be clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all and like hopefully Deandre Hopkins can tell the Arizona Cardinals very very soon I'm out You
