 Going into this year is a very pivotal year for the Ravens because their Superbowl window not that it's closing as a whole but with all the talent that they have across the board on this team that part is closing. Why because they have so many different players that are due for contract extensions right here and right now. If you go back a little less than a week ago we had Ronnie Stanley, Matt Judon, Marlon Humphrey and there are plenty others and we don't need to go down the list but you have a lot of guys that are up. Now with Matt Judon they tried to come to a contract extension with him in the off season but the two deals couldn't come to an agreement so they just end up using the franchise tag and that ended up being a very smart move by the Ravens I think because maybe I think it could have been one of those things where they felt like Judon was worth a certain amount but maybe Judon felt like he was worth more than whatever their certain amount was who knows but they placed a franchise tag on him so they could really see his true value and see how he performs again in another contract year but now it was also said that Ronnie Stanley that they had been engaged in contract talks with him as well but they just haven't been able to come to an agreement but now the difference between contract talks with Judon and contract talks with Ronnie Stanley is that with Ronnie Stanley they have a chance anytime throughout this year to come to an agreement with him on a contract extension. Why because Ronnie Stanley is in his fifth year option he's in the last year of his rookie deal and so since he's on the last year of his deal they can come up with they can come up with an extension anytime. Now had he been franchise tagged then if that was the case then they would have a limit in July if they're franchise tagged and the deadline is like in the middle of July for them to come to a long term extension with the player so with Matt Judon he can't be signed long term until the off season and again I don't expect the Ravens to sign him to a long term deal but if they were to it wouldn't be able to be until this coming off season but anyway with Ronnie Stanley so talks were hot talks were hot but they have apparently cooled down and real quick something else that can help you cool down as much as the Ronnie Stanley and Ravens talks did is the coldest water the coldest water these bottles they can go everywhere you can throw it in a pool and it'll float better than I can because like I told you before I can swim but these they can swim and they can keep your drink cold so if you had to pull you having a party you at the beach you having a party while you're social distancing but you having a good time you throw your drink in there you ain't got to be like oh man what happened to my cup no it's still there it's just floating sitting on the sea but anyway hit up coldest water they do giveaways every single week I hit up coldest water if you want to purchase something you can use my coldest engraving vids for 10% off of your order and they'll take care of you so anyway I'm like we talked about the apparently the contract talks have cooled off between the ravens and Ronnie Stanley and let's read the report that came from Jeremy Fowler and this came out on Sunday and Sunday we were obviously a little busy we were kind of wrapped up in a little something called the Ravens in the Washington football team game so we never got a chance to really cover this in detail but anyway here we go it said something to watch in Baltimore Ravens negotiated with all pro left tackle Ronnie Stanley but couldn't agree his markets massive as we all know so that inside they signed Marlon Humphrey instead there's still time to talk but both sides have tried options including short-term deals he could be headed for the franchise tag so let's just break that down line by line so he says something to watch in Baltimore Ravens negotiated with all pro left tackle Ronnie Stanley so we talked about that already no need to dive into that again but couldn't agree so I mean we pretty much covered that already and and we already it's obvious that it's obvious that they didn't agree because there's no announcement of a contract extension between the Ravens and Ronnie Stanley so we know that they couldn't agree because they didn't agree because there's nothing to talk about with that and then we said his markets massive that's something that we already know and what really gave us the indicator for that was Larry me tonsil Larry me tonsil reset the market for left tackles and Larry me tonsil he was somebody that a lot of people thought he was gonna be a Raven but then the whole the gas mask video came out stock dropped stayed in the first round in Miami like hey it's okay cool hey you with that that's fine we'll take you and he he did all right in Miami it wasn't bad he wasn't Ronnie Stanley but he wasn't bad but anyway his stock dropped and but he just got paid and Ronnie Stanley got to be he had to look at that deal like yeah I'm better than him I okay so I'm definitely gonna get paid and there's there was even a lot of talk that Ronnie Stanley could become the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL and that's a lot of money that's a lot of money anyway so after that I said they signed cornerback Marlon Humphrey instead that was big to me if that that let me know like okay Ronnie the Ravens were like alright Ronnie okay we'll talk later and then they moved on to something else that being Marlon Humphrey so they then prioritized signing Marlon Humphrey over Ronnie Stanley I guess these Ravens they must have felt how I felt cuz they they knew like we've been saying that for so long like they better not let Marlon Humphrey go nowhere man they better resign Marlon Humphrey and I didn't think it was gonna happen this year but Ravens they said okay we got you and I appreciated it I loved it man I was one of the scientists I was the most happy about in a long time man also shout out to Marlon Humphrey for getting that bread but anyway he said there's still time to talk which is true like we talked about they have this entire year and of course the offseason as well so they they have some time but every day every week well maybe not last week cuz he didn't play I was every week that price tag goes up it goes up but anyway he said there's still time to talk but both sides have tried options including short-term deals so maybe they tried to offer Ronnie Stanley like hey okay okay you don't want to sign a five-year deal fine let's do a three-year deal just do a three-year deal three-year deals and then you'll be able to hit the market again you're still young you can still get another big payday let's try that but they couldn't do it they may try long-term extension five-year deal still five-year deal now I'm not really fitting the salary like that I don't like the salary okay boom so they just they haven't been able to do anything yet and then it says he could be headed for the franchise tag and yes that is something that we've talked about on here a lot and it's something that could is obviously a real possibility and it seems like that's likely now there are a lot of different scenarios that could happen with Ronnie Stanley and the Ravens and right now as crazy as some of those scenarios may sound nothing is off the table nothing now I know every time some someone mentions the thought of possibly trading Ronnie Stanley a lot of Ravens fans look around like what then I traded Ronnie Stanley no way and we don't expect them to trade Ronnie Stanley because when you have a left tackle that has established himself as a premier left tackle in the league you don't want to trade that away you want to have a left tackle that you can have for the foreseeable future and if you can find somebody that can lock down that position in the here in the now and furthermore then you want to hold on to them but with Ronnie Stanley he's gonna command a lot of money a whole lot of money and now you're definitely gonna get a return on that investment you're gonna get that but are you willing to take on the the salary that's one thing and then also are you willing to take on the injury history now with Ronnie Stanley that's something that the Ravens have definitely got to consider when it comes to his value he's definitely extremely valuable to the team but Ronnie Stanley has also always been banged up he's been hurt a lot he hasn't missed many games now but he usually misses like what a game of year so that's that's not bad it's not bad it's not like you're missing all like four five six games a year something like that but that's still something that the Ravens will definitely in the front office will definitely take into considering consideration when it comes to contract time when it comes to paying out that money they will take that into consideration for sure so just we'll see what happens but nothing is off the table right now like no as far as him he could be franchise tagged and play on the franchise tag next year he could be franchise tag and he could possibly hold out I wouldn't see that happening but you never know cuz when it comes to money hey people want to get paid they want to get paid he could be franchise tagged and they could come up with a contract extension or he could possibly be franchise tagged and be traded because it's a guarantee it's a guarantee that if they franchise tagged them and if they traded Ronnie Stanley they put him on the market they put him on a trading block I mean then he would for sure he would for sure command not only a first round pick he could possibly command multiple first round picks Ravens would definitely have some draft capital to play with if they were to trade Ronnie Stanley I don't see them doing it but at the same time like I said man nothing is off the table right now nothing is off the table because it's so not that it's early in this process but all options are still available in all of them and the offensive line obviously they weren't the best in the world when they played the Washington football team but that game gave them a small small sample size of life without Ronnie Stanley now of course Ronnie Stanley being available this past Sunday it would have made the offensive line that much better we know that but you just never know me you you never know what could happen in the NFL and we've seen crazier trades happen we've seen franchise players get shipped off happens all the time now so we'll continue to wait we'll continue to watch and we'll continue to see what happens with the Ravens and Ronnie Stanley with this entire contract if I had to choose something if I had to choose an outcome that I think is gonna go down I will probably think franchise tag but they do have they they got time they got time but right now I will think you will they will be looking at franchise tag because I think they're really gonna want to see how the season plays out with Ronnie Stanley they know he can play obviously but again like like Jeremy Fallon said his market is massive just like him but yeah his market is massive he is going to command so much money and you got a lot of people coming up so again like always say about Eric DeCosta I do not envy his position because he has some tough tough tough decisions to make and we'll see what happens with number 79 team keep it clean I appreciate y'all I love y'all and I'm out
