 Just looking back on this little magazine from when the Ravens played the charges this year some stats and players and what not But when you look at this magazine it features one guy on the front who was looking like he was gonna retire And then it got a little questionable, but then he said, you know what? No, I'm coming back I'm still gonna play But then he remained a free agent for a little while and people wondered like man Where's he gonna go? Is he gonna go to another team? Is he gonna sign with the Dolphins? What's gonna happen with Kaleas Campbell? But as of today this morning, they made it official Kaleas Campbell has returned to the Baltimore Ravens on a two-year deal worth up to 16.5 mil. So he still gets some significant money In his last couple of years probably playing in the league So shout out to him and shout out to his agent for being able to still get a good amount of bread Now Jacina Anderson She said that he also had interest from the Colts from the Browns, you know Browns Browns always ready for somebody But also from the Chiefs too Them cheese boy them cheese be all over Everybody they'd be all over everybody like if it's any free agent that even sniffs the market Chiefs all over it but anyway, she says the Ravens were the most aggressive in getting it done and Bringing in Campbell or bringing Campbell home. So Kaleas Campbell is back with the Ravens. I know Jeff Zribick. He said that the The guarantees this year. Well, the cap hit this year is like three. Let me see three point five six mil And I've read that the the guarantees are like six mil for this deal So they keep Kaleas Campbell. So you keep a veteran player you keep a veteran leader You keep somebody who is pretty good at stopping the run That was his strong suit stopping the run So that helps that aspect of the Ravens But just like with Josh Bynes appreciate the signings don't mind the signings But it can't be it It can't be it I'm glad Jeff Zribick. He put this out there as far as the Ravens their defensive line Kaleas Campbell Michael Pierce Justin Matta BK Derek Wolf Broderick Washington Then you got Isaiah Mack or McKenzie or Crawford. Yeah, so anyway We still need guys that can provide interior pass rush They really do What the Ravens have done so far as feel as far as filling holes. I feel like they are They're they're they're doing They're doing Not even necessarily enough, but they just I feel like they're covering themselves They're covering themselves. They're they're playing it safe right now. And again, you you want to Have as many whole holes field Uh before the draft as you possibly can so that allows you to draft with more freedom and more Flexibility so you don't have to necessarily draft for need even though when you draft you do draft For a good mix of need and best player available But if you can have as many holes field as possible then best player available You just again, you have so much more flexibility with Um, and that just makes things go a lot better for you puts less pressure on you as an organization as a franchise um Even though the Ravens they could use some more pressure But it puts it puts less pressure on you as an organization to edit as a franchise when it comes to selecting Your draft picks So again, this move again It's it's no surprise at all that Kalaeus Campbell is back But the Ravens they really got to get younger and more athletic up front They really do Um now as far as the rotation, I'm interested in what the rotation is going to be how Raven's going to look on third down Because Are your third down interior defensive lineman going to be a Kalaeus Campbell, michael pierce Um or broader watch, you know, you're gonna let matta be gay. Let him do his thing. Um, see, I'm very uh interested and curious to see How this rotation works, but you know, it's definitely going to be a rotation and and the interior defensive line There was some big guys so they get tired sometimes and they are some older guys too so they're definitely going to be getting tired sometimes but um That's one thing that I uh very interested to see how it all plays itself out because again that And I don't know if there were really any significant guys on the market in the first place I mean as far as upgrading the interior pass rush, that's going to have to happen Most likely through the draft and probably through matta be gay like really hitting that next gear in his career, but um That's still that's still the biggest issue That that is Probably the biggest one of the biggest issues with what with the Ravens defense last year was interior pressure Because we we could not get any and it's been like that for so long so long Ever since loading out of left. Well, ever since they uh, what they traded him to Detroit, right? Or did they trade him to the Eagles? No, they traded him to Detroit and then he ended up going to the Eagles later something like that Because I remember I think the story was a loading out it was like Picking up one of his kids from school or something and then he got the call like oh, you've been traded Okay, wow I remember what right like Ravens a like people be thinking just because you're Ravens fan People be thinking that Ravens they they don't operate as a business and they won't do you nasty. They will They traded loading out of while he was picking up his kid from school They traded Anquan Bowden while he was over in Africa Um doing some humanitarian type work So they they will send you packing while you ain't even slacking you could be doing something positive And they'll be like oh bye. Bye. You got to go So hey, don't don't sleep on the Ravens man. They they will move you but anyway, um Ever since loading out of That was the last guy that we really had well I really like timmy jernigan too, but they traded him too They traded him to the Eagles because you know he he got in hardball's dog house and that was a wrap Yeah, that was that was it for timmy jernigan. All right, man I really thought he was going to be something special with the Ravens and he was looking good too But they were like bye-bye Um, but anyway, we have not had that guy there in such a long time Um with brandon williams they drafted him. Uh, he was a good run stuffer, but interior pass russian Oh, michael pierce undrafted guy. Um, they brought him up and he was all right interior pass But not enough not what they needed there um And then they traded for kalaeus camp Excuse me. They traded for kalaeus camber and I think their hope was that he was going to really provide some interior and interior presence And he did a little bit especially In that colts game with the field goal block because had he not blocked that kick We probably would have lost but um, he blocked it and that just led to so much other stuff happening So shout out to kalaeus cam. That's why I said this move is it's about both on and off the field Um, when you have a group of young guys young gentlemen, um Enough times a lot of those guys, especially they're coming from all these different backgrounds Sometimes they can lack leadership Me when I was younger I had lacked a lot of leadership um, especially uh, male presence leadership But if you get around the right people you get around the right person It can really do a lot for you. Uh, and it can really change the trajectory of your life Uh, and I know we just talking about football, but a lot of these people have off the field relationships as well um, a lot of these people like it's like I saw a meme um yesterday That was really funny and i'm like man like that's like really impossible But the meme was talking about it was like if well, it wasn't even really a meme I guess uh, it was somebody who actually posted this at the job. They were like do not Have any work friendships don't talk if if you catch one of your co-workers talking about anything other than work at work Then you need to report it And i'm like wow like That's real like somebody at their job actually had that posted On the walk like really that's crazy. That's insane That is insane Like there's there's no way There's no way that if you are going to work That the only thing that you talk about is work and that's it Well, if you do you're going to drive yourself. You probably hate what you do. You probably hate it Um, but when and the reason I say all this is because what clay is Campbell guys like him with guys like josh bine um, they provide leadership Um, so it's not just all about work and I think the ravens bringing them back is not just all about business Not it's not just all about work. They can play of course But they can also have a big influence on the younger guys So and I think the ravens brought those guys back a big reason for culture It's for culture And it's I know that's whether you agree with them bringing them back for culture You disagree with them bringing them back for culture, but this is a culture move for sure for sure um Jeff Zribick said that uh The ravens um with with this deal Counting 3.56 mil on a cap. He said that ravens had roughly seven mil of cap space as of yesterday But after signing binds and then signing Kaleas Campbell So they had seven mil and this takes away 3.56 mil of that so it takes away a little more than half of that cap space signing Kaleas Campbell I'm sure josh binds deal was probably going to be for like the vet minimum something like that Oh shout out to y'all by the way because I know I saw some comments that were like Why are you why are you comparing josh binds to the sunny water the sunny water was just a random water that that I picked It was a random water when I was saying that analogy It was just a random water a lot of people was like, oh, yeah, I messed with fiji hard But the sunny is trash the sunny is garbage the sunny's the worst kind of water I hope josh binds ain't that the sunny. You know, I wasn't calling josh binds at the sunny It was just an example. So next time I'll use um What is it Mount Everest or something like that or smart water next time I use a better water So my apologies for that um But yeah, so ravens getting tight. They are getting very tight now Um, well, but you know ravens they they they are always tight against the cap You know, if it's ain't they never got no money. Everybody else got money, but raven. They never got anyway, um So I guess this was just the stuff that Eric the cost was talking about Um, Eric the cost to mention in his presser that uh, he did say that he has some they still have some moves to announce Uh this week, um And now Eric the coster can finally stop talking about how he's been calling kaleis camber But kaleis camber ain't been picking up because I was oh every time I heard that I kind of cringe for him a little bit I'm like man kaleis camber really icky Um, but now that's that's officially over. Um But yeah, so these are the moves so Um, uh, I was thinking when Eric the coster said that he has some more moves to announce I was thinking that he was talking about moving off of people and that still could obviously happen, but Uh, they brought back kaleis camber. They brought back josh binds. Apparently they're talking with melvin gordon now. I wonder Because again, this wouldn't be the first time. I wonder if them talking with melvin gordon Um, really means that they could be trying to get somebody else Like maybe they may have leaked that because they really want to sign back Um davante freeman and davante freeman like And they like oh, you know what drop that report Drop that report about melvin gordon. Let's see what these people say. Let's see how davante freeman reacts It's business and it could be so we'll see what the result of them signing another running back will be If it happens to be melvin gordon if they bring back uh davante freeman Or if they just like, you know what scrap all that stuff Let's go draft somebody but um Yeah, that's that. Um, so Oh, I like this. See shout out to jeff's rebate man. He he tweeted a summary of uh, the ravens free agency The guys that they brought in marcus williams. That's a good move Morgan modus that was solid michael pierce that solid brought back pat ricard And that was a that was a good move josh biles solid clay's cambo. That's straight to Um, so so far a free agency if I had to like sum it up in my personal opinion Ravens have done. All right They've done. All right Um, I feel like they could have done uh significantly more. Um, and they still have an opportunity to keep They still got opportunity to It's just a matter of if they're gonna make something happen or not. So we'll see. I love y'all team. Keep it clean. I appreciate y'all Um, thank you for always being willing to listen To however we feel about whatever it is that we talk about Thank you for also sharing how y'all feel However, you feel about whatever it is that we talk about and thank you for sharing it Uh, respectfully Um now with the uh departures the guys at the ravens lost as far as anthony avid bradley boseman erik tonlinson josh johnson chris boy jesson ellis chris wedges tave on young Literally every single one of them signed a one-year deals Every single one And my guy mr. Mf. He had uh brought this up, especially about anthony avid I I really thought anthony avid signed a two-year deal, but I was mistaken. He signed a one-year deal um, so it seems like Every free agent from the ravens. Maybe teams are like scared like man, y'all y'all probably gonna bring that injury bug over here We don't want to pay y'all too much money. One of your deal. It is. Okay. We'll keep it at that But it seems as if every ravens free agent that was picked up They got a lot to prove to people They got a lot to prove to people it seems like people just trying to see oh Is it really was were you really just doing what you did in that system? Can we get better out of you or are you overrated or what how how should we feel about you? We don't know. So one of your deal it is Prove it to us prove it Um, and that's of course more so for guys like tave on young Um, justin ellis chris boy, uh and bradley boson anthony avid Eric thompson and josh johnson. They they don't count But the other guys do so That's very uh, interesting. So we'll see how all this shakes out. But shout out to collage camber Welcome collage camber back to the baltimore ravens two-year contract So it's official now as it was expected this whole time I don't think anybody expected collage camber To go anywhere else. I think the expectation from everybody was always that he was going to return to the ravens and now It's official. So like collage camber was for About what a month and a half But he is no longer anymore. I'm out
