 This would certainly be something right here. So according to this article, the Ravens are interested and rumored to be interested in Washington commanders chase young That would certainly be a significant move right there. You know what Eric Dacosta? Eric Dacosta is definitely ain't afraid to pull no defensive trade for a big-name player We'll see if he continues that this year because remember over the past couple years like last year was Roquon Smith Couple years ago, it's Kaleas Campbell couple years ago was Yankees and Gakwa even though it didn't work out couple years ago Was Marcus Peter? So Eric Dacosta ain't afraid to pull the trigger We'll see if he does it with this now before we get into this Make sure you subscribe to the channel turn notifications on because as y'all can tell it's always something going on These Ravens are non-stop the news with the Ravens is non-stop the news with the NFL's non-stop So make sure you subscribe to the channel now before we get into this specific video too Gotta give a special shout out to live Raven Nation on Twitter because they were the ones that brought this to all of our attention because They are somebody that every day they keep Ravens fans updated for what's going on In the world of the Baltimore Ravens. So follow them on Twitter. So you can stay updated with them as well Shout out to that account now this article it came from Touchdown wire that USA today comm and it was titled five NFL stars Who could and should be traded in the 2023 season? So I know y'all don't care about the other players that it listed But let's get straight to Washington commanders edge chase young and it says There have already been murmurs about the former number two overall pick being dealt with Washington not picking up young's option Several teams have been rumored to be interested including the Steelers And the Ravens However, with Pittsburgh extending Alex Highsmith the likelihood of them going after young is slim to none See, that's what I like to hear. I love hearing stuff like that. Like oh, this is the reason why this team they may be interested but They probably ain't gonna make the move So that would open up and clear up space for the Baltimore Raven But let's continue says that leaves Baltimore and it would fit there in more like a glove We've seen the Ravens bringing veteran pass rushes and defensive linemen before Elvis Dumeville, Yannick and Gokway, Justin Houston and Kalaeus Campbell, and they have a need at the position Of course other teams like the Colts or even the Bears could be in on the 2020 defensive rookie of the year but Keep your eyes on Baltimore as a potential landing spot should Washington move him during the season Now that would be something right there now Something that I was thinking about while uh going over that Timing is everything obviously training camp getting ready to come up But the Baltimore Ravens, they're gonna be doing joint practices with a certain somebody a certain team Coming up very very soon that team being the Washington commanders So if this is legitimate, um, then I think around that around that period of time could be when a trade could happen Reason being because the Baltimore Ravens and the Washington commanders They're gonna be up close and personal with each other The Ravens if they are that interested in a chase young They're gonna be able to get to see him see how he's looking up close See how he's practicing see how he plays and I would think it would be after the preseason game against the Washington commanders It'll be sometime after that that a trade could get done because we know these things happen like that too If a team is interested in the player and it just so happens that they practice it like remember with It happened with a different scenario But like with Kalaeus Campbell in the pro bowl Ravens in the play a lot of Ravens made it to the pro bowl that year Kalaeus Campbell was there He was around the team around the vibe and whatnot. They were like, oh, we really like this guy They get to talking and whatnot. They get to flirting a little bit and then boom what happens Ravens traded for Kalaeus Campbell But stuff like that it it happened. So that would be the if the Ravens do make the move That will be around the time frame. I think it would go down Um, so we'll see we'll see but with chase young Um, let's look at chase young's numbers. Uh, he was drafted in 2020 So it hasn't been long. He hasn't been around for too long. Um, and in 2020 He got seven and a half sacks as a rookie. So like, okay. Nice. Nice. Nice Seven and a half sacks as a rookie defensive rookie of the year. Um, and he's from dc So, I mean if he played for the Ravens, I mean, it wouldn't be too far. Anyway Um, then the following year well following two years, uh, he only got a one and a half sec But he also has missed a lot of time So he missed a significant amount of time So that will be, um, my big fear with chase young, uh, how healthy is he? But again They get ready to have the training camp together. So Ravens will get to see exactly how healthy he is Or isn't but hopefully is So if you add a chase young a healthy chase young to the Baltimore Ravens Hmm think about that like think about the quality and think about the depth that the Ravens would have Uh, you have a chase young You have a david a jobbo. You have an adafi away Uh, and that like chase young will certainly improve the Baltimore Ravens Defense their pass rush immediately And you can never have enough good pass rushes never ever Especially in what is a passing league Now with chase young say for instance, the Ravens did trade for What would you be getting from chase young? Uh, how would he be feeling? I think it would be very scary and very dangerous in a good way If the Ravens traded for chase young because I'm sure he's motivated already He ain't got to be traded to be motivated already. I'm sure uh, just him being an NFL gives him motivation enough Him wanting to just show up and show out. He's motivated enough, but Him having dealt with these injuries the past two years That'll give you extra motivation like man Let me show these boys. I could what I could do because they must have forgot Oh, I'm gonna be healthy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I got it. Watch this But then on top of that if he got traded He'd be like, oh, y'all traded me Watched it. Oh, y'all y'all traded. Okay. Let me let me show y'all what that was a mistake Let me show y'all He could also be want to prove like oh y'all didn't pick up my fifth year. Okay. You didn't pick up my fifth year option. All right Watch this Let me show you why it was a mistake on your part You could have saved a lot of money if you would have picked up that fifth year option, but you didn't Okay, cool Watch this i'ma show you and then on top of that with his fifth year option. I picked up He is on a four-year deal instead of the five So that means he can actually get paid sooner So he'll be playing for that bread. He'll be playing for his money And you know like when players are playing for their money They they turn it up another level man And I get it like some people say, oh man, what are they only play for the money? Is that their only motivation? It may not be but it's only a big motivation like When when when you up You've been working at your job for a little while and you up for a raise Do you not show out a little bit extra? Do you not put in a little extra work? Do you don't tell me you don't I know you do But it's the same thing with them. They already been putting in work But now you've got to get a raise. Oh, so you're like, oh, you know what? Let me go a little even harder with this So with chase young He would have all the motivation in the world and that would make him a dangerous scary chase young On top of already how dangerous and scary he is So that That would be nice now If the ravens were to trade for a chase young He wouldn't be coming for free You got to give up something to get what you want And with chase young despite him having the injuries and whatnot the in the recent injury history You know the commanders they're gonna want something good for they're gonna want something significant for them Even though it seems like the two are going to be heading another direction I will could it be one of those things where they'd be like, hey, we take what we can get I would I would love that But I don't think it would especially if he there was a sort of bidding war between multiple teams for his services Now first round draft pick. No I don't think so. I wouldn't do it first round draft pick I'd even be hesitant to do a second round pick but third and change. Oh, yeah Take it you can have it Maybe even a second but third and change is this all yours take it now if he's healthy If the ravens get a good look at him in training camp and stuff when they have to join practices And he's completely healthy ain't no limp ain't no problems. Ain't no setbacks. He's completely healthy Oh second round pick throw it at him. You got take it. It's yours. If he's completely healthy Yeah, I take it you could have it But that's just me That's just me. I know I'm sure it's gonna be somebody. Well, hey, I'm glad you're not the ravens gm buddy Well, okay. Well, I am too. That's a lot of stress. I see you had that job, man But um, anyway I would do that But um, as far as players, oof That's where it's a little tricky Because who would you give up for chase young if a player even had to be involved because me? I want to keep everybody I want to keep all the play. I want all the players to stay this year I want nobody getting traded nowhere, but I know NFL is a business. So you can't always keep everybody Now the one that got suggested from that bleach report article is Patrick queen And like I told you before that would be a no for me And even if if if they revisited that and it was still Patrick, I would still say no Because of availability chase young has been a significant amount of time, especially over these past two years Patrick young that's one of his best traits That we don't even talk about enough. The man is always there. He's always playing. He's always healthy You could say a lot of things about how you feel about Patrick queen, but you can never talk bad about how healthy he's been Every week You're going to see that number six or before it used to be 48 every week. You're going to see that on the field every single week Patrick queen a lot of the things that we talked about with chase young they would also go with Patrick queen That's another reason why I wouldn't want to get rid of Patrick queen He's playing for his bread Patrick is so many people that feel like Patrick queen. He oh, he can't hold down that Mike linebacker spot He can't be the guy inside linebacker off ball linebacker like nice little time to learn from y'all appreciate y'all But Patrick queen key a lot of people doubt him But even with the doubters like forget that you trying to get paid You just watch this dude the Ravens traded for and got like eight games out of him Well, nine with the playoffs, but you just watched him trade for roquan smith and Ravens paid he was on a team for Three days They paid him a hundred million dollars You've been on a team for three years And they didn't pay you yet Well, this would be his third year, but you get what i'm saying No, Patrick queen 2020 2021 2020. So there three years So this would be his fourth year So, yeah with that that's that's like that's motivation enough Like man, y'all just got him y'all pay but All right, okay I'm gonna show you better not to tell you they drafted a linebacker who a lot of people Thought could possibly take your spot Oh, y'all drafted. Oh, okay. Well, okay. I got y'all So Why not patrick queen got all the reason to be motivated in the world now another thing that goes in patrick queen's favor Last year him and roquan smith they look good together They almost look great They didn't have an offseason together They didn't even have a full season together But this season they can have both So even more reason for patrick queen to go out there and just kill it man So for those reasons alone, I would not include patrick queen as part of a trade for chase young I just wouldn't and couldn't and I don't think the ravens should But if the ravens are to acquire chase young What or who would they give up? I have no clue. But again, this is all just a rumor We'll see if it comes to fruition again. Y'all remember that timeline Watch for when the ravens practice with the commanders because that's again after that after that practice all that joint practice is over And the preseason game is over That's when I think a trigger could be pulled if a trigger is going to even be pulled But we'll see when we see anyway team keep it clean.
