 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video before we get into this video special shout out to my guy Ray Fari and his son Braylon. I really appreciate y'all to watching the videos Thank you for supporting team keep it clean. Thank you for being a part of team keep it clean much love to y'all man Shout out to you and your entire family, man. So Jocina Anderson She's a reporter that I'm sure a lot of you all are familiar with especially any of you that are on Twitter Because and one thing that I like about her reporting is that she takes it an extra mile And she has something that a lot of these reporters don't really seem to have with the players and that's a special relationship and What I mean by a special relationship a lot of these reporters they'll report on these players getting new deals players getting traded players Getting cut and whatnot, but they won't actually sit down and have a conversation with the players See a lot of the reporters they keep it strictly business and not even that you have in a conversation with the players means It's not strictly business, but Jocina. She actually talks directly to the players not to the agents Not just to the teams, but she talks directly to the players to get their perspective on things And that's something that I really really appreciate about jocina Anderson But she yesterday she spoke with Ravens Upcoming free agent Ravens pending free agent Matthew Jude on and Matt Jude on amongst Ravens fans. It has just been a back-and-forth for years now for years When it was coming up to where he was on the last year of his contract and some people saying oh Resigned they need to resigning to a big day. Some people saying oh, no, let him walk and then Ravens franchise tag them Oh, that started a whole nother war with Ravens fans were some ravens fans like oh He not worth the sixteen point five mil someone saying a Raven need to keep them and it just It was all of that. So then at the end of this year Jude on he started off a bit slow, but after that second half of the season Jude on showed up a he showed like hey What's up? And especially with where you need can God quay opposite of him that helped him out a lot And and then in the playoffs he plays some phenomenal football So shout out to Matt Jude on who it's a good thing that he's made his case And made it so hard for a lot of Ravens fans to decide whether the Ravens should keep or let him go But anyway, she said she spoke with Matt Jude on and let's see what she said he had to say She said just spoke with impending free agent Ravens outside linebacker Matt Jude on on where he'd like to end up And again, that has been a big question like what's gonna happen with Matt Jude on next Where's he gonna go? Who is he gonna sign with? This is what she said he said Just somewhere I can win some games clearly. I don't mean just three or four I mean you love to be wanted. Hey, I also may be a Raven for a lifetime And I don't even know yet, but we have to see So Matt Jude on in classic Matt Jude on fashion He was just being himself sounded like he was having a little bit of fun with it too, which we can all appreciate We know Matt Jude on we will see more than Humphrey his post game Instagram videos And we will see Matt Jude on his Instagram videos and stuff the stories and all that Always having a good time always poking fun at something poking fun at poking fun at somebody Always just having a blast Keeping that positive energy going And it seemed like nothing really changed here in this quote So let's just go piece by piece He said he wants to go somewhere just somewhere. I can win some games and clearly I don't mean just three or four So this cat what this lets me know and I'm not trying to be inch high private I anything like that. I'm not trying to be super detective. I'm not trying to be inspector gadget But what this lets me know for Matt Jude on is that it's not all about the money That's what it doesn't know. It's not all and now he's trying to get paid He's trying to get paid, but he wants a good combination of both. It sounds like he wants some balance To where yes, he gets paid. He makes a nice chunk of change. He makes a lot of money He wants that but at the same time He doesn't want to sacrifice winning Just to be the highest paid or just to be a top three paid or anything like that That's what it sounds like to me That he wants to get paid But he just he doesn't want to get paid by a losing team And it sounds like he may be willing to accept a little bit less a little bit not not no crazy Not less, but it sounds like he may want be willing to accept a little bit less if he can remain Or go on a new winning team Because you got to think about it Matt Jude on All he knows is winning That's it Well besides the playoffs and stuff with the Ravens, but ever since Matt Jude on has been on Ravens their winners their winners He does not know what it's like to lose and from that quote. He doesn't want to find out So I can't blame him He wants balance a balance between pay and and great play of a team So no problem with that at all And then he says, I mean you love to be wanted You love to be wanted and hey, I also may be a Raven for a lifetime And I don't even know yet But we have to see So that was clearly just a straightforward Comment about Baltimore And you know he loves Baltimore he loves the Ravens he loves the team He wants to be there a lot of people want him to stay there a lot of people want him to remain there Will he remain there? We got to see how the business works itself out Now this this reminds me of when um when we spoke to uh to Sarah Ellison when she was on On the channel and she made a really good point about this year's salary cap with it Taking a significant drop um a Lot of players who may be expecting to get paid the big bucks a lot of players who may be Expecting to really cash in and free agency. They may not be able to cash in like that They may not be everything that they hoped it would be and it's no fault of their own It's just that timing continues to be everything and with time in continuing to be everything The timing of being a free agent right now. It's not the best in the world Not saying that they can't get paid because clearly it's dudes are still breaking records with the contracts and all of that And I'm still sure they are They're gonna be paid significantly and they're gonna get significant raises But it may not be all that is cracked up to be this year So some guys could potentially sign like one year deals with teams Just to be on a new team and have that potential and then really cash out next year So with this statement about you just you love to be wanted I mean, yeah, of course, who does it who wouldn't want to want to be wanted? Everybody loves being wanted But the follow-up I also may be a Raven for a lifetime and I don't even know yet But we have to see So that lets me know that he's still leaving that door open for the Ravens to go ahead and make that move He's still leaving that door open for the Ravens to be like, okay, you know what Jude on Let's work something out Let's work something out Let's let's let's let's see what we can get done Now do I expect it to happen? Hmm, I think it's possible. I don't expect it, but it is certainly possible Especially if he was worth to do something like that to take a one-year deal Something significantly smaller. It's not gonna be to be no 16.5 mil like it was last season with that franchise tag but because the salary cap is so limited right now it's limited and Ravens, I think they are going into it with I think the 11th most salary cap space, but it's still not much You're still not much So every single one of their moves is gonna have to be calculated as it always is when it comes to the salary cap Teams are gonna have to be more creative now than they ever have been They they're gonna have to maneuver around this thing more than they ever have in Maybe their lifetimes or their existence as franchises Because this thing is not gonna be so squeaky clean this year So we don't know exactly what the salary cap is gonna be yet. It should I think it should actually be coming out this week Because I'm recording this on Tuesday, February 16th. I believe it's supposed to be coming out this week We're supposed to get some clarification on exactly what it'll be. So we'll stay on the lookout for that But with Matt Jude on it's just it sound like his options. His options are not wide open Because again, he doesn't want to go to a franchise desk. That's about losing But um, he he also wants to he wants to cash in as well so We'll wait and see like Matt Jude on we just got away and see what happens like he said So team keep it clean appreciate y'all I love y'all and just like we really don't know what Matt Jude on is gonna be with the Ravens or not I'm out
