 So yesterday it was a busy day for the Ravens cuz you know how Ravens usually stuff will be buzzing around a league and Ravens Will be quiet and just be sitting back sitting back sitting back then all of a sudden bam. They hit you with that stuff biggest news yesterday One Alejandro Villanueva he decided to call it quits on his NFL career And then the Ravens also released one Tavon young and even though those two Had been being talked about as possible cap casualties for the longest Actually seeing it happen more so with Tavon young. It was like wow, they they actually they really did it So that made it real now They also had some exclusive rights free agents that they issued tenders to and Most of them knows of no real surprises there But one was a bit shocking and surprising and that one that they issued a tender to That shocked me was Tyson Williams Now we all know the story with Tyson Williams Um, but I feel like there's some backstory that we just don't know because so much stuff about last year Just did not make any sense whatsoever to me But I felt like after last season that it was best that the Ravens and Tyson Williams They both went their separate ways and they both look for opportunities elsewhere Last year we as we know JK Dobbins Gus Edwards A Justice Hill Ravens top three running backs on the roster all were out all had season ending injuries And you probably do not forget where you were at when you heard about those season ending injuries I remember for Gus Edwards for his season ending injury I was sitting right over there for Justice Hill and his season ending injury. I was actually on a walk I was taking a walk and I saw my phone and got the news is like, oh wow and for JK Dobbins I mean, we were all watching that preseason game together And then we got the news. I think the following day But anyway, that was a big blow to the Ravens. So that left them a little shorthanded at running back But then there's like hold up You know what? Let's sign Levy on bail later on in the season. Let's sign the Vonte Freeman Latavius Murray. It's like, okay So we signed them and it's like you you're looking at him and you thinking whoa these guys So it's a little rough right now. We could use an injection of youth And we have that with Tyson Williams. Tyson Williams provided a burst. He provided explosiveness He provided the potential to make some game changing place And he did that in week one you saw him do his thing against the Raiders But then in the second half they just stopped using you saw week two He has some explosive plays against the Chiefs, but then they just stopped using them And now in both of those games He did fumble the ball one time each the Raiders game He fumbled the ball out of bounds the Chiefs game He fumbled the ball in bounds But thank goodness for Mr. Devin Duvenay who ended up catching that fumble or covering that fumble for a touchdown To save the play but after that the Ravens were like, you know what? Nope, we're done with Tyson Williams not doing it and then Where I really felt like the relationship ended was in the bingles game the first bingles game To where I think it was third down and Lamar was trying to yell out to play Tyson Williams didn't know what the play was So they either got a delay a game or they got it. They had to call a timeout I forgot which one it was and then I think the following play Lamar Jackson he threw the ball to Tyson Williams It was a fourth down and Tyson Williams ended up running out of bounds way before the first down marking didn't even try to fight for the Yards to get the first down So I felt like that was really the the end of Tyson Williams with the Baltimore Ravens There was a game later on in the season where he actually got a carry and I was cheering. I was like, let's go Let's keep it going But the Ravens didn't keep it going So I'm just really surprised that they decided to Issue a tender to Tyson Williams not that I don't think he deserves it because I'm sure he does but I just Don't feel like the Ravens are gonna really give him a shot and I know some people could be like, oh, well He's cheap. Oh, he's a body. He's dead He was all of those things last year and they didn't use them Even when they had injuries to their running backs, even when they had these older running backs that just they weren't providing the juice like that anymore Even when the Ravens were in such a desperate situation in the running game last year They still chose to look alright Devonte Freeman you up. Okay, Latavius Murray. You're up. Okay, Levy on bail your up But Tyson Williams. No They had plenty of opportunities last year to use him and they had every reason last year to use him But they didn't and they chose not to So that's why I feel like them extending this relationship is just it's weird. It's really weird and Now you got to feel like I JK Dobbins is coming back. I Gus Edwards is coming back I just as Hill is possibly coming back and Ravens, I think they'll end up signing Devonte Freeman later on not in that first wave of free agency But later on I think they'll sign him just for depth But even without Devonte Freeman with their top two guys coming back and then even possibly even draft and assigning an undrafted free agent That running back whatever they choose to do. I Just don't feel like there will be a chance for Tyson Williams and I feel like his chances last year They were obviously slim based on the Ravens usage of him So now this year with your main guys being back on a squad and healthy Those chances go from slim to even slimmer So I just I didn't get that move, but hey, it is what it is. We'll see what comes of it They also issue some other tenders to some guys who less surprising Sinitrist and Cologne Castillo And he's somebody that started a couple games for Ravens and fielding quite well I felt like if the Ravens lose Bradley When the Ravens lose Bradley Bozeman, I've been saying that I feel like he could be a good option to replace him as center We'll see how the Ravens feel about that Tyler Huntley, we already know what time it is. That's Ravens backup QB They'd be nice if he can get an opportunity to go somewhere and start. I would love that for him I will love it. Will it happen? Hey, we'll see Long snapper Nick Moore. Oh Nick Moore is a story that I just never forget remember two years ago They kept this guy around on the practice squad and I'm thinking why are they keeping a long snapper on the practice squad? What sense does that make? What are they doing? but then Following that year, they ended up cutting Morgan Cox and it's like, oh, okay, that's what they were doing So they were keeping him around because they had other plans in place for Geno stone who I didn't realize was an exclusive rights-free agent So they keeping him around depth as safety then Christian Welch linebacker hard hit a good special team He was on the field a lot of for some regular defense as well And then of course again Tyson Williams now all of those all of their deals are gonna be a little less than One meal each shout out to Sarah Ellison for providing that info But yeah, all of their deals are gonna be for a little less than one meal each So again, it's not gonna be a crazy amount of salary cap space invested in any of those guys and some of these guys are starters like Nick Moore He was a starter at long snapper because he's part of the new wolf pack with him Sam cook and Justin Tucker There's been a lot of people thinking that Sam cook could be on the outs to when it comes to Ravens really cutting corners with the salary cap Space so we'll see what happens with that But so yeah, none of those guys are shockers and they are some depth guys some potential starting guys So we'll see but I was just getting very shocked with the whole Tyson Williams thing but Hey, it is what it is and We'll see we'll see how it goes It's just there's very very head scratching, but anyway, um, I love y'all team keep it clean I appreciate y'all maybe by the time you see this Ravens may be on something else because you know Usually when they're quiet for so long and then they start they keep going for a little while because remember last time They were quiet and then all of a sudden hope the Ravens and wink. They decided to mutually part ways and Then there was Domino after domino after domino after domino after domino Then they went back to being quiet again, but now this has started. So we'll see what's next team keep it clean I love y'all. I appreciate y'all and we out
