 Before we get into this video, um, I gotta actually give a huge shout out even though I know he can't be a dirty player, but I respect the hustle 1,000 percent To warriors dream on green Because he did something and he does something that I don't think And let y'all let me know if I miss somebody, but he does something that I don't think I've ever seen anybody do He actually right after the game Reacts to a game that he played in there's a reaction to his own game that he played into and I'm like oh man That's crazy, but it gives you his personal perspective for what happened Of course, you can you can watch the ESPN's the the NBA Network and all that stuff But to hear it directly from somebody who was actually on the court during the game who actually gets a lot of playing Time who is a starter that that says a lot So I appreciated the fact that he did that, but anyway, um the Ravens I know that was like way from left field, but the Ravens They signed two more of their draft picks. I'm of course yesterday They signed tight end Isaiah likely. I guess um, he was likely to get a Yeah, we ain't doing the likely jokes, but anyway, they signed tight in Isaiah likely and of course, um, he's expected to be Tighten that can stretch the field then Maybe a bit of tight end slash receive. I'm sure they're gonna do a lot of different things with him and Greg Roman's offense Because they are not even tight end friendly. They are tight end best friendly because they Greg Roman's offense. They love tight ends. We've seen plenty of them continue to go off guys obviously Mark Andrews But even remember Vernon Davis too with the 49ers and I want to say Charles clay I want to say Charles clay to from the Beals, but anyway He should do well here and and Charlie collar. He should do a phenomenal job, too So those are tight end position is of position where it's like I we know they about to go off We got all the confidence in the world and with the Ravens again drafting two tight ends while they already have three tight ends Yeah, that's the ultimate stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready and also the ultimate a G-roll no excuses, but anyway Somebody else who they signed Which was announced today about maybe our hour and a half ago from when you see this we'll see depending on how fast or slow My internet wants to go it'll let you know Damian I was like Damian Prince the Marion Williams Damarian Williams cornerback Pepe and the last person that I heard call themselves Pepe was a Ocho Cinco so if he can follow in those footsteps, but a cornerback version then we gonna be in some pretty good shape So that's the Ravens are moving they moving like we talked about yesterday in a video once One draft pig is signed and another one does and another one does and when once players around your Draft class gets signed who were drafted around you that makes it a lot easier Even though you pretty much know because the numbers are pretty much set as far as how much you're gonna get paid based off Of where you were drafted at now This is where for me. I I didn't know I learned something new today And I wanted to share with y'all some of you all may have seen it already But something that a lot of us I know myself I had always wondered it But I had never really thought about it too much. I had always wondered like man These draft picks they out here practicing like we talked about in the video yesterday We've seen all of them practicing We've seen all of them out there at the OTAs and whatnot doing their thing and I know OTAs are supposed to be today, too I believe But we've seen them at the OTAs and we see it every year where they're out there They're practicing, but they'll be doing all this practicing before Their deals are signed and it ain't like they out there going tackle and whatnot But they'll be out there practicing and we know like You practicing that's that's a big risk That's a risk because I know a lot of players that that's why they a lot of them will hold out If they're looking to be traded or they're looking to be signed to a big deal They'll hold out just because if you practice in safe instance, you get hurt then your value Will decrease depending on the player depending on the team depending on the situation, but they don't even like taking that risk So when it comes to rookies, that's something that I always kind of thought about but never really thought about in detail But somebody asked a question to Jeff's rebeck on Twitter. His name is Jake. He said um Just curious from a business standpoint Do they sign placeholders or something to go in and practice and OTAs before the deal is done Well, how does that work? And that was a really really really good question So I appreciated the fact that he asked that but on top of that I appreciated the fact that Jeff's rebeck answered it because he said they signed what's called a participation agreement and that's something that I have never heard of before ever I did not know about that had not heard about it nothing But they signed a participation agreement. So then Jake followed that up. He said I'll have to Google it Do they have a deadline to sign all the draft players without a penalty or losing rights to them? And he said you have a full year to sign a player Or you lose his rights in the following years draft That I didn't know either and I don't recall a Situation even that ever getting that far To where a player gets drafted and he doesn't end up getting signed and then a year later It becomes a I guess a free agent or they lose his rights. So what I I do I still hate that term rights to the player and exclusive rights and right I just said that wasn't it. I never really liked that But I know that's that's the term that the NFL users or whatever, but anyway, um, yeah, I Didn't know about that never seen a scenario where that happens, but We learned something new today. So I learned something. It was hopefully y'all learn something new To even though y'all away smarter than me. So I'm sure plenty y'all probably knew this stuff already I'm probably looking at me like man, that's it's whole news man. We talking about man. You get with the program man You're so late man. You didn't know that man. What are you been watching? But yeah, so it's all good. So yeah, man, they they getting stuff wrapped up They get in the draft class wrapped up and it's it's it's happening. It's happening. So that's a good thing It gives and I think for the players, especially it It gives them peace of mind Because yeah, just in case like just in case and it's like it's like if you're working a job and They gave you they might have given you like a little introductory check or something even though job Don't give you no introductory check But they might get you a little something like hey, thanks for coming on Signing bonus there you go a little signing bonus, but in real life not an NFL You know NFL is real life for some people but not us But anyway, if a new job that you got they gave you a little signing bonus like hey, you're hired There you go. Thanks for coming on But you you're working the job and you like man, I'm I Didn't get paid yet. I'm working. I'm getting paid yet It can have you feeling like Kind of uneasy you can have you feeling like you don't want to go as hard when you're working or what? No, and I'm sure like if you've ever been in a situation I have before it is very it's very frustrating where you've been at a job and The the payment you're your paycheck does not come on time Your paycheck does not come when they said your paycheck was gonna be there either that happens or your paycheck gets there and it's dead wrong Oh Speaking from experience. That is one of the most frustrating things in the world But anyway back to what we were talking about before if you're working a job and you're not getting paid It can make you feel very uneasy. It can be very uncomfortable And you can be like man, should I really be giving my all? He'll hear right here right now and that's a possibility that could happen with the rookies They may feel a little bit uneasy not not none crazy cuz again Jeff. He did talk about the the agreement but Yeah, I'm sure once they do sign it's like It's it's a breath of fresh air and a breath of fresh money, too So they get that that money officially in their bank account ain't there yet It ain't dead today sign, but once they get it then it's like, okay. All right. We're good. Let's get in there But anyway, that's that so take even clean. Hey, I Appreciate y'all shout out to all the rookies with Pepe he just this His him being drafted Along with a Jalen to the two cornerbacks we drafted Those draft picks I'm even happier about those draft picks especially after we signed Kyle Fuller Because again Marcus with Marcus Peters not Marcus Williams Marcus Peters coming back from major injury Marlon Humphrey is back from major injury. So he did his thing and I think his was more so of a rehab I don't think he had to have surgery. I don't believe but anyway Raven should be getting their top two corners back And then they did behind that. It was like, oh, okay. Who's it gonna be? Like what was it gonna be? You know, we still got Brandon Stevens, too So again, the expectation is that he plays a lot of corner this year, but then they signed Kyle Fuller It's like oh with them brand having Brandon Stevens like oh debt or Darius Washington He could play some slot corn. It's like oh debt Kyle Fuller he could play slot corner outside corn. It's like oh debt and and not only debt but quality debt And then on top of that you got the two cornerbacks that you drafted So it's like oh, it's just because we know we know we know we know about the secondary It happens every year last year doesn't it ever happen that bad But it happens every year where their depth gets tested. Hopefully this year none of the depth gets tested So this year everybody stays 110% healthy. Hopefully that would be great. That would be the best But we know things happen. Unfortunately, it's part of the game, but the Ravens really Especially with these two draft picks specifically that that have recently signed Isaiah likely and the Marion They just they they have depth at those areas man And they have a lot of it and that really makes me happy Makes me happy We talked about how with the rookie there's that potential Feeling of being uneasy if you don't have your contract signed Again, they talked about the thing that Jeff brought up But they could be potentially uneasy but then when they sign it, it's like a breath of fresh air It's the same way for me Heading into this offseason this season when it was just I Marcus Peters Marlin Humphrey Then it was like, okay, what's after that? But then after the draft and then after a little bit more free agency, it's like, oh, okay It's a breath of fresh air and now a lot more confident About that secondary heading into the season and then don't don't get me started on safety because we got about We always talk about how we got about like 23 tight ends, which we do we probably got about Probably about 16 safeties about good good 16 safeties on the roster right now We know it all them ain't gonna make it but we got quite a bit So the depth there is very very good too and again the quality depth quality depth got different guys We're starting experience because they are obvious starters Chuck Clark if he stays with the team I still think that he could probably be on the way out, but we'll see but with Chuck Clark Marcus Williams Kyle Hamilton Those are your your primary safeties But then you also have Gino stone he has starting experience. You also have Tony Jefferson he has starting experience You also have Brandon Stevens. He has Starting experience. So that the depth it just makes you that much more confident Heading into the season. But anyway team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I thank you all I love you all and we out
