 so youtube team keep it clean what's going on the same raven here with another video and the ravens have made it official by signing alihandro villanueva to a two-year deal worth up to 14 million dollars and that was surprising eight mil of that deal is fully guaranteed i did not see that coming now while a lot of us expected them to sign an offensive lineman post draft and post may 3rd to where it wouldn't count against the compensatory pick formula i didn't expect it to be for this much and i think that's that's probably why alihandro was like okay cool ravens i'll wait no rush if you're gonna pay me all of this money in this third fourth fifth wave of free agency yeah then i'll i'll wait it out i'll sit back and chill no rush i'll be here when we get there uh but that that part is surprising but ravens get a guy with some versatility and this could work out very very well for the baltimore ravens reason being because ronnie stanley you have ronnie stanley who's coming back uh from his leg injury now we all hope and expect that ronnie stanley comes back at 100 we hope that there are no setbacks uh there's no there are no problems with ronnie stanley when he gets back and he can get back to being one of the best left tackles in the league once he returns but at the same time stay ready so you ain't got to get ready that's exactly what the baltimore ravens are doing with this move they are staying ready so they ain't got to get ready so just in case ronnie stanley isn't a full goal just in case ronnie stanley isn't 100 and just in case ronnie stanley isn't ready all the way you don't have to rush him back and you will have an insurance policy just in case now that's for the left side but the right side the right side was probably where the ravens and a lot of fans had the biggest question marks about their offensive line and initially when the reports came out that they were going to sign uh alejandro villanueva i was thinking okay well that's gonna be a nice insurance policy as just in case uh but he doesn't even have to be a starter but with this money that's starter money that if you're paying somebody this much money at this point in free agency that's starter money now me we've even got questions from subscriber videos coming out later on where i really felt like maybe a tyrie phillips maybe tyrie phillips with a full off season you know last year he was a rookie and he didn't have a full off season i know a lot of people were down on tyrie phillips last year but i'm like let's give him a fair shot because he did show you some stuff and most importantly he showed you that he got hard for the squad man that play where he picked up the fumble he looked like lamar jacks he looked like a super shredder version of lamar jackson but he was looking like lamar i said okay wait a minute lamar don't put on some weight but no it was tyrie phillips but i thought that the ravens were going to give him an opportunity to be their right tackle especially with orlando brown jr because you know this the trade with orlando brown jr him not being a baltimore raven i think i'm i'm pretty i'm like 99 percent sure that was always part of the plan for the past couple of years because you know they got to pay lamar jackson you know they're gonna pay mark andrew so there was gonna be an odd man out they weren't gonna pay orlando brown jr as well after paying their quarterback and after paying their titan and then they were gonna pay the the offensive lineman too after they already paid ronnie stanley i mean no i just you didn't see it coming and especially after they as soon as they paid ronnie stanley you knew you knew that that was a rap for orlando brown jr like officially officially but anyway i always felt like uh or not always but especially this offseason i really felt like tyrie phillips was going to be that guy he was going to be that backup plan he was going to be that that option for the ravens at the right tackle position but again this money for alejandro villanueva this says otherwise it says otherwise and this lets us know like hey whether it's on the left side or the right side it's gonna be on the right side but i think the left side again an insurance policy just in case ronnie stanley ain't good to go but that money that ain't for no backup that certainly ain't for no backup and this will make those ravens and stealers games that much more interesting it's gonna make them that much more fun alejandro villanueva haven't been a stealer for so long it's gonna make it that much more fun and i know a lot of stealers fans gonna come on here and be like oh man that guy alejandro villanueva he's terrible he's not a good past blocker he's not even a good run blocker what do you guys get him for you pay him all that money will see how it all works yourself out man because that is one thing and i know ravens wouldn't necessarily be developing him um but ravens when it comes to offensive linemen they do a pretty good job overall they do a pretty good job so maybe the coaching staff with the baltimore ravens maybe they could be like they could show him some different things he might not have seen in pittsburgh they could show him a few different techniques and whatnot and and they can really uh get the best out of alejandro villanueva that's gonna be fun when it comes to the speakers that's gonna be fun hearing that name when it comes to the speakers alejandro villanueva but yeah and then as far as when he's like i told y'all before when it came out that we were interested in alejandro villanueva when he's blocking all these teams in the regular season he's gonna be going like that chilling or whatever blocking holding up his man doing this thing but when this comes to playing the afc north the stealers in particular i told y'all man he Honda man it's coming it's happening he got man when it comes to them pittsburgh games and you know at least one of them at least one of them gonna be prime time you know how the nfl does if it's prime time and it's ravens in pittsburgh then it's going to be in pittsburgh and i mean well hopefully we get to play it on time this time because you know last year it's kind of a medium-sized yikes uh but yeah i'm i'm cool with the movement i'm cool with the move ravens are clearly uh not in developmental mode when it comes to the offensive line and they want guys they want their anchors to be guys that are ready right here right now that have all the experience in the world and are just boom plug and play ready to go not a project guy not a maybe this could work out guy no they want guys that are veterans and a mix of youth too because again remember big cleveland remember big cleveland so those games should be fun too especially against the browns but they want guys that are ready right here right now so i can understand the signing again the money that's the biggest shock to me that's the biggest shock to me i thought that it was going to be maybe uh i thought it was going to be like maybe a one-year deal maybe a one-year deal for like uh maybe like five six mil maybe maybe even four mil but like five six mil at the max so that's something right there now again it is up to 14 mil and it's eight mil guarantee so this this whole thing could end up being a one-year eight million dollar deal so we might not be that far off uh but because yeah again the the overall numbers in the up two numbers look a lot better than what the actual deal is because whenever it comes to a deal you always got to look at that guaranteed money don't look at the overall but just look at that guaranteed money because that's the most important thing because that's the only thing that's guaranteed so i guess that's that anyway team keep it clean i love y'all i appreciate y'all and just like alihandro villanueva officially told the pittsburgh stealers i'm out
