 Let me know if y'all feel the same way or if it's just me whenever I hear about something going on with the Ravens here about different rumors with the Baltimore Ravens I think it could be true I think they may even be accurate but for me personally it always hits different a whole lot different when it comes directly from Jeff Zribick because I know what Jeff Zribick he's very careful with what he puts out he does not just put out anything and he is always on point he makes sure he puts out accurate information every single time that's why we love Jeff Zribick that's why Jeff Zribick is our favorite guy who covers the Baltimore Ravens and he has been for a really long time so recently we've been hearing so much about the Baltimore Ravens being interested in Saquon Barkley we've been hearing a lot about that of course we've been hearing about Derek Henry too but with Saquon Barkley we've been hearing so much about him but today another report from ESPN came out and said that the Baltimore Ravens are considered serious seriously interested in Saquon Barkley just read real quick it says the Los Angeles Chargers Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears are believed to be serious suitors the rival Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys have interests but are not expected to reach Barkley's price point still they shouldn't be completely counted out because they are at very least involved so I saw that I'm like all right cool so this just goes along with a lot of what everybody else was saying but then I read Jeff Zribick's article from today from the athletic and let's see what he had to say about Saquon Barkley particularly he said Saquon Barkley Derek Henry and Josh Jacobs so three of the same running backs that a lot of people have been talking about he said this the Ravens have done their homework on the top backs if the price is right they could pounce and I think that is very significant because like we've talked about earlier we know the Ravens are always gonna have a running game no matter who's back there we know that but in certain situations we know that no matter who's back there the Ravens would get away from their running game and that would be very frustrating for us as fans and just for everybody watching like why the Ravens not using what got them to this place in the first place we saw it this year in the AFC Championship game big time we've seen it throughout regular season games from time to time we saw it in 2019 we've seen it enough times to be like hey what's the issue here so maybe just maybe with all these reports coming out and just because the rate but Ravens could be interested doesn't mean it's gonna happen but if the Ravens do something significant at the running back position I do think this could really change how they approach running the ball especially regular season I ain't worried about that but this could change how they approach running the ball when it means the most and that's what could be so significant about adding somebody like Derek Henry like a Josh Jacobs like a Seguin Barclay so we'll see exactly what the Baltimore Ravens do really soon but we got a lot of big news and it's very significant news to talk about ahead of free agency in today's video before we get into it make sure you leave a like on the video subscribe to the channel turn notifications on because the video is gonna be going crazy especially over these next couple of days tomorrow it starts the legal tampering period so teams are gonna start agreeing to deals with free agency I mean excuse me with free agents so y'all just get ready for that now from that same article Jeff Zrebek has some very very significant dates coming up for some significant Baltimore Ravens players here goes one that I did not know about I knew a decision had to be made soon on Odell Beckham Junior but the exact date he said Thursday wide receive Odell Beckham Junior has to be released before 4 p.m. on this day or his salary for the 2025 season will become fully guaranteed so buying a new contract agreement with the Baltimore Ravens Odell Beckham Junior will become a free agent so Thursday is the day to watch out for well by Thursday we will know like so it ain't gonna be no more guessing no more like oh it's all they'll be with the Ravens or not by Thursday at 4 p.m. we will know if Odell Beckham Junior will continue to remain with the Baltimore Ravens or he will go elsewhere I think most of us are expecting him to go elsewhere but we won't know till we know another important date somebody who has garnered just as much conversation as Odell Beckham Junior when it comes to being a Baltimore Raven on whether the Baltimore Ravens should move on or they should stay with this particular player is Ronnie Stanley let's read this part he said March 18th so that's coming up too this could be a key date in determining left tackle Ronnie Stanley's immediate future with the team which is one of the Ravens biggest offseason question Stanley is do a four million dollar roster bonus if the Baltimore Ravens picked that up it seemingly indicates that they envision him being on the roster in 2024 cutting Stanley without a post-June 1st destination seems unlikely because while it would create eight million in cap space it also would put nearly 18 million dollars of dead money on the 2024 cap jettison Stanley post-June 1st is more plausible because it would trigger 15 million dollars of savings and allow Baltimore to absorb a third of his dead money on a 20 25 salary cap the best case scenario for the Ravens would probably be for Stanley to agree to a significant pay cut that way they create some cap space and don't have to find a starting left tackle but such agreements can be very tough be a tough sale for a veteran player yeah especially like a pay cut I mean what I like to do when we do these videos I try to put us in the player's shoes and us in the GM shoes or the the franchising shoes sometimes too but certainly try to put us in a player shoe so we can get a better understanding of where a lot of players are coming from because a lot of times as fans they will look at players and be like oh that player is greedy all that play all he cares about his money hello this is his job he didn't get in his job to work for free so Ronnie Stanley with Jeff Zipic was talking about when it comes to him possibly taking a pay cut if he was to remain with the Baltimore Ravens like how would you feel if your job approached you say hey we love you thank you for everything that you've done for us we gave you this significant raise years ago because we value you we appreciate your work we know you're gonna be really good for us but can we take back that race can we lower your pay I know most of us in here will look at our employee employers like they were crazy if they approach us about a pay cut especially after they gave us a raise years ago oh man yeah we that wouldn't be good at all so when it comes to Ronnie Stanley we see exactly why that can possibly be a tricky situation in the future so we'll see what happens with that speaking of pay Chuck Clark Chuck Clark is somebody who the Baltimore Ravens they paid him years ago not no crazy money anything like that but he had gotten a contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens but then they ended up drafting Kyle Hamilton Chuck Clark was then traded to the Jets and he was there and it was looking like all right Chuck Clark gonna be with the Jets they got Aaron Rodgers and what the all right cool but then he toys ACL unfortunately so that ended his season before it even got started but the Jets and good-faced Jets they said hey no no Chuck Clark even though your season got ended prematurely we're gonna bring you back another year because the Jets they signed Chuck Clark to a one-year deal so he is returning to New York so they lost him for the season they lost Aaron Rodgers for the season they lost some other people but they trying to get the gang back together to possibly go on or run so we'll see what happens with that now somebody who has been a big part of a lot of successful runs will all up until the Super Bowl has been Deebo Samuel I know Deebo Samuel is a very interesting player because he's technically a wide receiver but he's like a wide receiver he's a running bag he's a mr. do-it-all type of player and I remember a couple years ago a lot of Ravens before he got his deal a lot of Ravens fans wanted Deebo Samuel to potentially be part of Ravens flock they wanted the Baltimore Ravens to trade for a Deebo Samuel but the 33rd team said oh you know what let's take what a lot of Ravens fans wanted a couple years ago and let's bring it back to a reality right now well not reality but let's bring the thought of it to reality right now because the 33rd team says that the Ravens should get Deebo Samuel for mr. Lamar Jackson and when you think about that you think about the way that they use a flowers it'll be a little bit different the way that they use a Justice Hill and Keith Mitchell it'll be a little bit different the way that they use Rashad Bateman it'd be like a mix of how they use everybody but all in one player and that could be Deebo Samuel what they said was adding Deebo Samuel would likely require a high pick but he'd be a perfect fit the Ravens have shown they are not afraid to go after elite talent and Samuel might be the best wide receiver available via trade and I didn't even know that he was available via trade if he is available via trade that would certainly be a very interesting player for the Baltimore Ravens they would have a lot of fun with him a whole lot of fun using him as just a straight up a weapon so if they were to make that move I wouldn't be mad at all at all but we won't know till we know now something that we do know is that a lot of Ravens fans have been saying the Baltimore Ravens need to draft a cornerback they need to pick a cornerback early I know some mock drafts have the Baltimore Ravens picking a cornerback early and initially I got it I was like oh yeah yeah we need somebody opposite Marlon Humphrey but then I forgot I forgot this whole offseason I've been forgetting about Brandon Stevens Brandon Stevens is sitting right there and I think a lot of us have forgotten about Brandon Stevens because with Brandon Stevens for the past couple years before last year the previous couple years before that Brandon Stevens is a third round pick is like somebody are you gonna have my safety are you gonna have met corner they've been flipping flopping back and back and forth but then this year they were like are you gonna be a corner look like okay Baltimore Ravens before the season started they signed Rocky scene so I was like okay that's gonna be a other corner opposite Marlon Humphrey they signed Ronald Darby or so okay we got even more depth and I had forgot about Brandon Stevens even back then but Marlon Humphrey got hurt and Rocky scene I don't know what happened with him but obviously may have fell out of favor with the Ravens or something because Ronald Darby ended up starting but Brandon Stevens had been a starter all year and he held it down he had an amazing year this year so the Baltimore Ravens they have a cornerback now I am mad at them getting even more quality depth because you could certainly use it because as we know especially as Ravens fans cornerbacks go down like that happens every single year to the Baltimore Ravens without fail it's annoying it's frustrating but it's part of the game so I understand getting quality depth but we cannot forget about Brandon Stevens in other news it was said that Patrick Queen he has some interest from the Houston Texans and that the interest is mutual but it was also stated that he could be a good fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers that would be something right there Patrick Queen went to Pittsburgh oh man a lot of Ravens fans who are on the fence about Patrick Queen oh they would hate him then I wouldn't be mad at him though because he'd be getting his bread and getting his opportunity and that's really what's gonna happen wherever Patrick Queen goes even if he comes back to the Baltimore Ravens which is probably unlikely but it is still a possibility because again he ain't signed away yet but think Patrick Queen tomorrow we'll probably know where he's gonna end up it's gonna be sad because I like Patrick Queen I know a lot of us like Patrick Queen I know a lot of people don't for whatever reasons but I like Patrick when I thought he was a great fit I thought his career his career trajectory has just changed so much in a good way it was nice to see it with Patrick Queen him finally start to find his footing and him starting to really really get it as a player but now that's it and he found his footing at the perfect time contract year two good stuff PQ so I hope wherever he ends up going it does end up working out for him so we'll see what happens with him really soon free agency literally right around the corner it's gonna be a whole lot of fun team keep it clean we had questions from subscribers that we put out a video that we put out earlier today with some really really good excuse me really really great
