 Should the Ravens sign free agent wide receiver Sammy Watkins? Should the Ravens just focus on the draft now when it comes to the wide receiver position? Or should they push for a trade?

Make sure you take the time out today to really try to brighten somebody's day. No matter if it's something big or something small, just try to make somebody happy today because what you do could go a super long way. Super long way. Somebody may be having a rough time at home. They may be having a rough time at work. They may just be having a rough time, even if they're not having a rough time, you could really make somebody's day. Like for example, and we're going to get into the questions in a bit, but for example, yesterday, well, I don't know when you were seeing this. We recorded this on March 20th at 9.54 a.m., but yesterday, me and my wife and Carter, we were at Target doing some shopping and Carter wanted to target pizza. We went to the little concession stand part where they do the pizza, the pizza pizza, the personal pizzas, and we were like, hey, do y'all have any pizzas? And he was like, no, we don't have any right now, but I can make some. He was like, how many do you want? I was like, we'll do two. She's like, all right, cool. So we went, we did some shopping, bought the stuff, then came back around and we were looking and we didn't see any pizzas there. We were like, oh, I guess they must have sold our pizzas. Couldn't get mad at them for doing that because they still got a business to run. If they got customers that want pizza, hey, they got to sell it. So we walked up to the concession stand and we didn't even say anything. He was like, oh, that'll be 1050. He had our pizzas ready. They were wrapped up in a bag and separated from everything else. So he had it ready for us. He remembered us and he followed through on what he told us he was going to do. And I just, that like really, really made my day. Like really, it was something so small. And the day was already going great, but that made it like 20 times better. Cause I'm like, wow, he didn't have to do that. He really didn't, but he did it. And it just made me like, I was already happy, but it made me 10 times happier. Anyway, just wanted to share that with y'all. Oh, also make sure you check out the Team Keep It Clean podcast. Every Wednesday, new episodes. I love y'all. We got some good quit. We got some fire questions. Let's do it. First question came from my boy, Olu. Who's a new patron? He said, hello, a big fan of the channel. Be sure to appreciate it. First question came from my guy, Olu. First question came from my guy, Olu, who is a new patron to the channel. Appreciate you, man. He said, hey, big fan of the channel. Quick question. Folks are worried about a true number one wide receiver. I think with what we have, our base with Greg Roman, the best thing we can do is have a solid offensive line, like a top five offensive line. Like the Cowboys have for Dak Prescott in his rookie year. I truly think Lamar is our greatest weapon and we can get by with the receivers we have, but it would truly depend on our O-line strength and health. See, yeah, I know offensive line does definitely, it is a priority. I can't even say it does need to be a priority. It is a priority for the Baltimore Ravens. They've expressed that. And so far in free agency, they have shown that by signing Kevin Zitler. Now, one thing that I really, really wonder, I really, really wonder, and with them making an offer to Juju, maybe this tells us that answer. But I really, really wonder if Kevin Zitler hadn't been cut, say for instance, he was a free agent, but his contract expired, would the Ravens still have signed him? Would they still have signed him? Because he would have counted against the compensatory pick formula. That's just something to think about. But anyway, he said, heck, look at the offensive line that Kaepernick had in his Super Bowl run. What do you think? Now, he also has some significant playmakers too. Yeah, Frank Goal. Yeah, Vernon Davis. He had Mario Manningham. He had Randy Moss. He had Michael Crabtree. So yeah, he had an offensive line, but he also has some nice playmakers around him too. And Michael James, I want to say too, the running back from Oregon. But yeah. So anyway, he said, what do you think? I mean, we are stuck with G-Roll for at least a year. And it wouldn't make sense to pump money into a prime receiver that won't get the touches he wants. Get him in the draft. This is my first post. Thank you again. Hey, I appreciate it, Olu. That post was funny. He said, it wouldn't make sense to pump money into a prime receiver that won't get the touches he wants. Now, if they do get a prime receiver, they would be forced to use him. They would be forced to use him, forced to incorporate him. And so that would mean the scheme would have to get opened up that much more. And I mean, I expect the scheme to get opened up that much more regardless, especially with the additions of Keith Williams and T. Martin, and especially with Hardball hiring them sort of over G-Roll's head. Like Hardball being the one, because they said they didn't interview with G-Roll. It was just Hardball. Hardball was like, okay, this is going to be my call. He said, I'm bringing these dudes on. Because he's like, my boy, G-Roll is my boy. I don't want nothing to happen to G-Roll. So let's bring these other guys on so they can help G-Roll. And again, G-Roll, the run scheme, great. Pass scheme, it could use some work. So they brought in some boys that could help it work. So we'll see how that goes. And hopefully they can really bring the best out of the Ravens receivers, whoever they may be come week one. But I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it. I don't expect some, like I said, I don't expect some crazy, crazy jump. Some crazy like, oh, to go from last and passing to second or third. No. Middle of the pack will be straight. Even if they jump to 20, they jump to like 18. That'd be, that'd be cool. That'd be cool with me. Because that would be a very, that'd be a very significant increase now. That'd be a lot. But what I'm expecting is about maybe for them to jump to around like maybe 24, maybe 23, 24, we'll see. And it's obviously going to take a whole year to see the whole entire season. But we will start seeing progress. And we really going to know around like week five, because that'll give us five games of play. And that'll give us, that'll let us know like, hey, how are the Ravens going to be on offense? What are their consistencies? What are their issues? What are their things that they do great? What's going on with the Ravens? So anyway, and he said, get them in the draft. Like that may be the only way, because you know, Ravens like they got to get these receivers. They got to, they got to hold them hostage, man. That's the only way they got to get receivers that can't go nowhere. That means that guys who got drafted, they get drafted by the Ravens. Okay, well, I come play, but for enough guys, it wouldn't be by choice, man. But now it's all good, man. We're going to see how this thing works itself out. And but yeah, like you said, offensive line, yeah, that's got to be, like I said, it is a priority, but we'll see how else they continue to address that, how they address the center position, and just how they address just everything, man. Who's going to be the right tackle right now? So Orlando Brown, because he's still with the team, but we'll see what happens with him. But so they could end up moving having, why can't I think of his name right now? Can't think of it. Wow, the rookie last year, Tyree Phillips. They could end up having him be the right tackle. They got options, but we'll see how they move this offseason. Next question came from my boy John Moore. My boy John, he, man, he been rocking with us for a long time, has been showing like crazy amounts of support for a super, super long time. So I appreciate you, John Moore. Appreciate you being a patron. Appreciate you just supporting literally over the years, because he been rocking with us for a minute. Came out to the flag football game that we got. I think he came to the second one. He ended up getting the pick six. He was playing DN, and I think he was acting like he was Russian, but then he dropped back and he caught the pick and ended up going for six. I said, okay, Jack, I want boy John Moore. And no, I appreciate you, man. But anyway, his question, he said, yo, what's up, bro? Hope everybody doing okay. Oh yeah, everybody doing good, man. He said, so my question is with the Ravens, not signing receiver yet. And A, this video again, it's on March 20th. The time is 10.03 a.m. So things could change between now and then. We'll see. Anyway, he said with the Ravens not signing a receiver yet, do you think the Ravens will just draft the receivers along with the ones that they have already? I think they're still going to sign a veteran guy. Who that could be, I don't know, but I still think they're going to sign somebody. I just, I don't see them going into the season with a drafted receiver and just the receivers that they have. While it is a possibility, I just, I don't see the Ravens doing that. I really don't. I can't even say worst case scenario, but unlikely case scenario that I think they could do would be to, if they didn't really sign anybody right now. But say for instance, they signed a veteran receiver later on, and they drafted a receiver too. And that veteran receiver got cut. They didn't make the roster over the drafted receiver. So I think that a possibility, but I don't think it's likely. Because you lost a lot of veteran presence at the wide receiver position. And not even just, there's Brian, but more so Willie Snead. Even though he was super young, but he was your veteran guy, even though he was super young. Willie Snead hasn't got signed yet, by the way, but during this video, he could be signed from by the time you all see this video, so we'll see. Anyway, he said they will be young and faster along with Lamar Jackson and Dobbin Speed. Or will they trade for Julio Jones, LOL. That would be something, Julio. Because he, boy, they traded for Julio. That would immediately boost Raven's receiving group way up. He would open up everything just for everybody. Julio been banged up a lot though. Oh, he would be banged up a lot with Julio. That's one thing I worry about. Now his wearing tear would be down. I mean, he's been through. He got a lot of wear and tear on him. But what he goes through physically, it would be down because he wouldn't get as many of those catches with the Ravens. But he would be a perfect fit at receiver, man. Perfect fit at receiver. He would give them exactly what they need. He'd be a great compliment to Hollywood. He could benefit off of Hollywood. Hollywood could benefit off of him. Oh, man, like Andrews, of course, because he would just draw so much attention. Like he would draw so much attention away from everybody and other people could draw attention away from him. So who would be nice, man? And he said, and can you let these? I think I'm a newbie myself. But he said, can you let these newbie Ravens fans? Oh, never mind. I thought he was talking about something else. I read ahead. He said, and can you let these newbie Ravens fans chill out and relax because they are panicking for no reason? That's how it is, man. It's all good. But it's old fans that's panicking too. But it's all good. It's part of free agency. It happens literally every single year, every year. People go crazy. They're like, oh, Raven's not doing anything. Raven, what are they going to do? Oh, my gosh. Fire DeCosta, fire Ozzy Newsome. Every year they do this every single year. And then it's always funny because you always see comments and videos on Twitter, Facebook, IG, whatever. You always see comments later on like a month later, maybe two months later, looking back. Oh, man, I'm so embarrassed that I said that. Oh, man, I can't believe that I said that. Oh, man, why was I even thinking that? It happens every year. So it ain't no big deal. It's just part of the process. And he said, who would win? Hulk or Captain Marvel? You know what's funny? I just watched Captain Marvel last week or the week before last. And it was like, it was cool. It was more of an informative movie, I think, instead of the action. It was cool, though. It wasn't bad. I don't know. I would say Hulk. No. Well, Hulk is like super strong. But Captain Marvel, she can do all this, all different kind of stuff. But that's a good question. I don't know, man. You would have to ask somebody who's a lot more versed in the Marvel stuff than I am, because I'm not really. Next question came from my boy, Gareth. He said, Aangraven, my question is, do you really think if we don't get a wide receiver in the first round? See, everybody's on that wide receiver train. He said, if we don't get a wide receiver in the first round, that Lamar will hold out of contract talks. Because I wouldn't blame him. Keep doing your thing. Love the channel and hashtag team. Keep it clean. I appreciate it, Gareth. No, I don't see that at all. I don't see him holding out if they don't get a receiver in the first round. I don't. I really don't see any scenario where Lamar Jackson would hold out. I mean, you never know because business, when it comes to that money, stuff could change. Relationships could change and whatnot. But I just, I don't see Lamar Jackson holding out. Now again, with the way that Lamar Jackson seems and his relationship with the Ravens, I just, I really hope they don't try to take advantage of him. I really don't. And you know something that's funny? Well, when there's all that talk about Lamar Jackson taking less, I saw a comment the other day and it was half right, half wrong. Because, but they were like, oh, did Marlon Humphrey take less? And I was like, oh, excuse me. Wow, okay. And then they were like, oh, and did Ronnie Stanley take less? Well, he actually did. But that comment said, did Marlon Humphrey take less, did Ronnie Stanley take less? Then no, I don't want to hear nothing about Lamar taking less. And I was like, oh, okay now. Okay, but I just wanted to share that. But anyway, yeah, no, I don't see any scenarios. I don't envision him holding out at all. So yeah, I don't think he'll do that. Next question came from a boy, John R. He said, thank you for the content you provide. Appreciate it, man. He said, this question with AJ Green now being signed by Arizona, Kyla Murray has Hopkins Green, Christian Kirk and possibly Larry Fitzgerald, if he decides to come back. Where can you see the Raven supporting Lamar skill position wise? Every young quarterback has received at least a really good receiver. Even Sam Donald had Robbie Anderson for a few years. With the receivers prices going down in free agency, do you think it's more possible now that the Ravens go for Kenny Galladay or another free agent wide receiver? Or are they going to go through the draft? If they go through the draft, I think they should try and get Rashal Bateman. I agree. Thank you for your content and keep it clean. I appreciate that, John. Thank you. Now, with the part that you said about the receivers prices going down in free agency, do you think it's more possible that the Ravens go for Kenny Galladay or another free agent receiver? I do. And I think that would be Sammy Watkins, possibly. I am Sammy Watkins. He's been in Greg Roman's system already. So he would be familiar with the system from when he played with the Buffalo Bills. And it's crazy because a lot of people forget that he played with the Buffalo Bills. I even a lot of times forget that he played with the Buffalo Bills because it seems like it was so long ago, man. And I was just reading something that they said that Sammy Watkins is 27. He's 27 years old. That's so weird. Like it seems like this dude has been playing forever. But he's just been playing since, oh, 2014. Wow, his rookie year. He caught 65 catches with 982 yards. Well, he came out almost being a thousand-yard receiver. Wow. But the thing with Sammy Watkins, let's look at the games, man. Because I know he missed a lot of time, man. We see in 2014, he played in all 16 games in 2015. The following year, he missed three games. The next year, he missed eight games. The following year, he missed two games. The next year, he missed six games. No, he missed seven games. Excuse me. No, no, no. He missed six. He missed six. You're sorry. Then 2019, he missed three. And then 2020, he missed six. So that's a bit concerning. Sammy Watkins can play. I just don't know, man. I don't know. He is a free agent. Of course, I know some of y'all saw the whole Twitter. I forgot what Twitter account, but it was a Ravens fan that asked Sammy Watkins, hey, are you coming to Baltimore to play with the Ravens? He just responded, smiley faces. It doesn't mean anything. It literally means nothing. But it was just cool to see it. At least he responded. So that was cool. Now, something that a lot of people haven't really been talking about when it comes to these free agent wide receivers is Kenny Galladay. And I was just telling my guy, I was telling my guy JT with Kenny Galladay is funny, because he, it's like a girl at school who she's not getting any attention from anybody. Nobody's noticing her or anything like that. Nobody's paying her any mind. Any mind. But all of a sudden, one guy, he starts talking to her. He starts talking to her and a popular guy starts talking to her. So then a lot of other people are seeing, wait a minute. Oh, she's pretty. Wow, she's pretty. Oh, wow. I want to start talking to her too. So all these different people start trying to flirt with and start trying to approach her. But she's been there the whole time, but nobody really paid her any mind. And that's what it seems like has been going on with Kenny Galladay. Kenny Galladay was there. And we hadn't heard anything about anybody really being significantly interested in one Kenny Galladay. We knew he was going to be one of the top free agents in free agency, the top Y receivers in free agency, excuse me, but nobody was really talking about Kenny Galladay like that. Then all of a sudden the Giants, they interested in them. Then the Bengals come and then the Ravens come. And then who else was it? It's just somebody else. Oh, the Bears. Then all of a sudden Kenny Galladay is getting all this attention. But with Kenny Galladay, with him, 2020, he only played five. No, excuse me, 2017, he played 11 games. So he missed five. 2018, he played in 15 games. So he missed one. 2019, he played the entire season. But then 2020, he only played in five games. He played in five games. So it looks like he has a bit of an injury history. Now it could be just freak injuries, but injuries nonetheless. So that is something that is quite concerning for me, at least, when it comes to Kenny Galladay. Not saying that he still wouldn't make the team better, because hey, I think he's certainly good now, but it's just something to think about. Next question is came from my boy, King Lu. And he said, good morning. With my concern for our lack of pass rush, what is your personal solution to address this issue? To address the pass rush. What would be the best way to address the pass rush? Because right now you've got Pernil McPhee coming back. You've got Derek Wolfe, you've got Kalea's Campbell. You've got Big Baby, you've got Madad BK. I would say draft, just straight nasty speed, and continue to incorporate Madad BK in there a lot more. Madad BK, he look good. He look good. So that's what I would say. In the draft, get some guys that are fast, but got good burst, and got a good amount of power too. Because guys can be as fast as they want to, but if they get held up at the line, then it's not going to mean anything. But get guys that got that burst, and got some good power too. That's what I would say. And his other question, he said currently, out of those free agents who are still available, realistically, what or who can the Ravens get to boost their offense? Now it's funny because I'm actually recording this. All the questions that we did before, early in the video, those were recorded a couple of hours ago. But that took me a little break. And the time right now is 4.43 p.m. And about 30, 45 minutes ago, Kenny Galladay, he signed with the New York Giants, as expected. But he says who realistically can still boost the Ravens offense? I really feel like any of the guys can, but who would be the best fit? Because T.Y. Hillings out there, I don't think T.Y. Hillings is a good fit. And it's weird saying this because I don't think he's a good fit, but I think he can certainly boost the offense. Sammy Watkins, I think he would be a decent fit. And he could boost the offense. Should the Ravens sign Sammy Watkins? Veteran guys, somebody in the comments section earlier, they called them only available for playoff Sammy Watkins. And I was like, hey, that's the time where we need them the most. So anyway, Sammy Watkins, he wouldn't be bad. There'll be them health concerns though. Like I talked about with Kenny Galladay earlier, there'll be the health concerns with him. With Sammy Watkins, there'll be health concerns with him. T.Y. Hillings, there would even be health concerns with him. But I almost feel like the Ravens best scenario for a wide receiver, I know it's kind of deviated from the question, would be the trade for one though. Because what's out there is cool or whatnot, but I feel like their best option to get the best that they can possibly get right now would be the trade for one. My favorite that they could trade for, and it could be reasonably priced, would be DJ Shark. Of course, we talked about Julio earlier. Julio again, he would be a perfect fit, but the money, be a big yikes on that. You can't get creative though. So you can't get creative. Because I like straight up, and not saying that the Ravens should be reckless, anything like that. But straight up with the salary cap, there are 50 million ways around that salary cap. We said this earlier in the off season, I can't buy the old Ravens, they ain't got no money, they can't afford this, they can't afford that. Chiefs, every single, even after Patrick went home, even after the Travis Kelsie deal, even after the Tyreek Hill deal, they still out there getting this guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, and they were still trying to even do more, but like even with Trent Williams, so no, I don't, the whole Ravens ain't got it, they ain't got no money, they can't get this guy, they can't, and I'm not saying go out there, like I said, I'm not saying go out there and be reckless, but they can do some stuff, man, because we see it, we see it every year. But, man, but anyway, to answer your question, out of the free agents, I do think definitely those guys, and this question, I wonder if this question was actually about, oh no, I was about to say was it about the pass rush, but he did say who can boost the Ravens offense. Yeah, so I would say the guys who are out there, a lot of them can, a lot of them can. What tight ends are left, because Jared Cook is gone, Hunter Henry is gone, there's Delaney Walker, but, so I mean, he took a year off of football, but yeah, Y receivers though, T-Y could, and again, Sammy Watkins could as well. Next questions came from Tanja. Ooh, uh oh, here we go, y'all sit down for this one. She said, that ain't Raven, how are you? Oh, I'm good. She said, hope little man is feeling better and better each day. Oh yeah, he's doing really good, I appreciate that. She said, while it's still early and still time to make moves, I find myself a bit irritated at the decision that the Ravens organization has made thus far. I know we have already spent a quarter of our budget on Ronnie Stanley and Marlon Humphrey, however, we were supposed to be in a good place as far as draft capital is concerned, but I saw so many teams that were supposed to be broken, some even under budget pick good players to compliment their quarterback. We made one move and then crickets. The Ravens seemed to have tried to wait until the last minute to get aggressive, to try to get a wide receiver. No center, no pass rush, nothing. All I hear is, we can't afford it, we can't afford it. Oh, good timing, because we was just talking about the... I am gonna offend some people, but I don't care, uh oh. I feel like EDC has not lived up to all the hype thus far. Example, last year he drafted third round lineman to replace Marsha Yanda. They didn't get Lamar Receiver in the first round and they didn't put the new receivers on the field. I understand there was no training camp, but other teams put their new receivers on the field, and we couldn't even see if we had a number one. There was a way to get them on the field more. I don't think EDC is aggressive enough and their thrift store mentality is getting old. If you want the best, sometimes you have to pay for the best. I don't wanna hear about the budget, there is no cap. Cap is made up. So I guess cap is cap. KC was broken still, looked out for... This is what I was just saying. This is literally what I was just saying. Anyway, let's keep going. KC was broken still, looked out for Mahones for his second season. McCarthy got a $160 million contract and he will get $9 million and the rest will be voided. And there are many other examples. I think you're talking about somebody else. I can't think what you're talking about. I think, yeah, you're thinking about somebody else. McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy. That must be talking about some player that got a big, fat deal, but I can't think of who it is right now. Anyway, to that right now, to me, it seems like our team might not be what I thought it would be once again. Lamar's rookie seasons were a bust. All that talent in this franchise doesn't know what to do with it. I will hold my in the cost we trust until I see these Ravens really invest in their generational talent like I see other teams invest in their quarterback. And if this happens, I will gladly apologize and I hope I have to. So then, so that was from a couple of days ago. So then she sent a follow-up and she said that she slept on it. So this is what she had to say after she slept on it. She said, good morning. I hope all is well. I sent an email venting about how I feel about the decisions made by the Ravens organization this far and what they have done for Lamar and the team as a whole. I still stand by it, but some of my opinions also were not fair. After seeing that a front office member's child has been harassed is an embarrassment and truly uncalled for. I don't want to add such toxicity and negativity. I'll wait until I see what the Ravens plans are and give them a chance to make it right. With a lot of holes still open concerning the needs of the team, I will give EDC a chance to complete the task. Ironically, after I sent that email, Google News said that Eric DeCosta quoted, Ran Ravens fans be patient. I see the frustration, but we have a plan. So with that being said, I will wait and hold on to my email just in case I need to hit re-send. All right. I don't know what the child put. I don't know what that was about. But yeah, so we just got to wait and see really. That's it. We just got to wait this whole thing out and see. I know with all the moves that have been made thus far from other teams and what Ravens have done too, it hasn't been the sexiest anything like that. But we just got to wait it out because there's still a long way till week one. These rosters are not set yet. This is still the very, very early stages of free agency. We haven't even been in free agency for a week yet. We haven't even been in it for a week yet. It feels like it's been longer, but it hasn't even been a week yet. So with that being said, we just all got to be patient. And last, it's not a question, but just had to give a special shout out to my guy Ryan B. He had reached out and said that it's been a rough week for him because his cousin, his cousin passed away. And he said he was a great guy, even though he was a Raiders fan, but he would be loved forever. So just in the comment section, just put a special shout out to Ryan B, man. But like I told you, I appreciate you even being willing to share that. I hope that your family, that they're good, that they can get confident. And of course, it's super tough, man. That's a super tough situation to be in. It's super sad. And of course, we got to remember that despite all this stuff, we talk about football and all this news all the time and stuff, but we all are real people. The football players are real people. We're real people. And all of us go through things. So if team keep it clean, if y'all could do that, just put a special shout out to Ryan B in the comment section, man, because that's just... That's one of the saddest parts about life is death in that we all have to experience that losing loved ones. It sucks. And it's really, really sad, man. But you're going to have an opportunity to be able to see him again. So sorry for your loss, man. And it takes a lot of courage to be willing to share that with people. So I appreciate you sharing that with us and being willing to do that, man. So much love, team.
