 Team keep it clean. We had to switch the videos temporarily back to 4k right now So y'all can hear and see me crystal clear when we talk about this one So yesterday just to get everybody caught up for where we at yesterday It was announced that Bradley Boseman has signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers And initially that that caught me off guard because I'm like a one-year deal Really, I thought that Bradley Boseman that he was going to be one of the most sought-after free agents on the market He was gonna get paid like one of the top centers on the market. I just knew it I just knew it even though. Yeah, he had only been playing center for one year Yeah, and even though he had played guard the other three years in his career. Okay, yeah, but still He's hitting the market at the right time. He's gonna get paid like a top center and when they came out with that one-year deal I was like whoa Okay But then I thought about it. I was like all right. Well, okay So I guess the Panthers were like, you know what he only plays center at the NFL level for one year and We don't want to fully commit to him Let's really see what he can do with our squad with our team on our roster in our scheme Let's see how he can do with us because the other three years he played guard He did all right there in that center. He did all right too, but let's see what he can do for us So it was like a proof-it deal even though I'm like man, this dude's young like young dudes who have been healthy They don't get prove-it deals. They get proven deals like people will pay a top premium dollar for that So when that one-year deal came out, I was like, whoa, I was just shocked So then it was like, all right, let's let's wait for the details Let's wait for the details on a deal and then the details came out today and it was like whoa It made it even weirder. So that led me to believe in my personal opinion Once we saw these details Bradley Bozeman wanted out He wanted to leave Now what reasons he wanted to leave? I don't know But you got to feel like he wanted to be gone from the Ravens Because Jeff Zribick has said multiple times that the Ravens offered Bradley Bozeman a deal And I know we talk about a lot of times on here had a Ravens are cheap not with their own guys Though usually with outside guys with guys that they're trying to bring in and sign as free agents from other teams They can usually be cheap with those guys. Uh, we have plenty of examples More recent Zadaria Smith and he was an outside guy. They try to be cheap with him and it almost work came so close Was it there? It was like hold up man? No, but anyway um They are not usually cheap with their own They usually take care of their own guys And with them offering Bradley Bozeman a deal You gots to feel like it was Much more than this significantly more than this And let's just go over the details of this contract. So It said Bradley Bozeman's one-year deal is worth 2.8 mil 2.8 mil That's crazy and this is after the first week or not even first four week But the first week of free agency signed a 2.8 million dollar or one year 2.8 million dollar deal And then so let's look at the details. It's a 1 million dollar signing bonus 1.035 billion dollar base salary And up to 500 000 per game active roster bonus And 265 000 in the workout bonus So he has a one-year 2.8 million dollar deal And again, I was just sure I just knew I just knew he was going to get paid like a top said even if he wasn't the top paid center He was going to get he was going to be one of the highest paid centers in the league I said that multiple times because I was I was so confident in that But the market It said otherwise other teams They said otherwise And when the Ravens offered Bradley Bozeman a deal He chose otherwise So this really convinces me he didn't want to be with the Ravens anymore He didn't Now, I don't know why I don't know what for obviously, you know, Bradley Bozeman him and his wife They were super nice. They were always involved in all this community stuff So that's that but maybe they just wanted to change the scenery Maybe it it ain't gotta be no beef thing. It ain't gotta be no. Oh man, Bradley Bozeman probably hates the Ravens It ain't gotta be nothing like that. It ain't gotta be that deep It could be so many different things besides mess like that It could be hey, maybe they thought the market was gonna be a lot higher Maybe they thought like, oh, yeah, Ravens offer the deal But you know what? Let's test it out first and and I was saying that too I was saying that throughout the season throughout this offseason Yeah, Ravens offered a deal But Bradley Bozeman he needs to test the market because he needs to go get that brand Go get your money Because I felt like anything that the Ravens would have offered him Whatever he could get on the open market. It would be much more much more Because the Ravens are not usually one of the teams that'll be like, all right, we'll pay you more than them No, you know, you know, we'll go up on our offer. That's not usually them This whole Marcus Williams thing. I said, whoa, you're actually offered more than the Eagles Like when do you ever read an article where it's talking about how a team Was close and ranged to what the Ravens offered but they weren't quite there yet. I was like, what? I like these new Ravens. Hopefully they stick around but anyway This is crazy like it's just It's very shocking and we know he was not the the the best center in the world He was not the greatest center in the NFL. We know that and we realize that we understand that we get that. Yes We do But the market is not always about who the best is It's just it's timing more than anything But the timing mixed with the market It shows you that Teams just they they weren't really in on Bradley Bozeman like that They really weren't now, um This is this is just shocking to be straight up man still because every time I look at it I'm like, wow because initially I know a lot of Ravens fans would be like, what Ravens couldn't match that Ravens couldn't do that Ravens couldn't sign them for that And of course they could they got more than enough salary cap space To sign him for this and whatever direction they go at center next I'm sure it's going to be unless it's through the draft, but I'm sure it's going to be More than this on the salary cap alone I'm sure it will. Well, you actually you know what the market's kind of dry right now for centers It's getting a little quiet right now. So I don't know maybe Ravens will look at this and be like, you know what? Free agent center treader, you know what? We're gonna give you half of that We're gonna give you half of that But we want you to play with the motivation that you're gonna go against the Browns two times a year Possibly three to play out. We'll see but you're gonna get to go against these Browns two times a year They just cut you you the president of an nflp. Yeah, how dare they cut you jc treader You're one of the best pass blocking centers in the league. How dare they cut you? Come play for us Come play for a consistent organization. Come play for a contender Help us get over the hump all the meanwhile you can get back at them at least two times a year And show them that they should have kept you on the roster. I don't care how much money they saved They should have kept you on the roster jc How about it man? What do you say? Yeah, we can't offer you as much money as this stat in the third And you know what we're not even going to try to beat around the bush We're not gonna up our offer, but we really do think you will make a great addition to our football team. What's it gonna be? You see the market out here. You see the time it's only going to get worse. It's only going to get cheaper. Look at our young guy He's younger than you and he was coming up in the market. He became a free agent and look what the market did Look what the market said about him What do you think the market's gonna say about you? You just got cut from the Cleveland Browns What you think they're gonna say about you? Where's your market at right now? How come you still ain't signed the deal? You might as well come through So i'm sure they say probably on the phone with jc right now Talking at talk trying to get them to walk their walk like literally Raven's walk, you know, yeah, I don't talk about y'all that something anyway, um Yeah, I just think he yeah He he just must have won it out Because right there's there's no way well, there is a way but there's no way that Raven's offered less than this And even if Bradley Bozeman if they did one out, that's fine That's fine sometimes, um Money isn't everything it's not and that's in life in general We talk about on here all the time. Hey these players they they need to try to go get their bread Which they should because you know NFL it stands for not for long So you got to get it why you can and you see because the NFL they will chew you up and spit you out Even before you like I know all the y'all have seen the clip of uh, a job Him tan is Achilles or popping is Achilles. Whatever happened to his Achilles. Y'all saw the video of his injury He over there doing the drills doing the drills running hard going full speed trying to get his draft stock up Boom he falls to the ground Everybody just looking Yo, no Hey, hey you go somebody go get the ball go get that football They can't get by that dude like that Well, nobody worried about him like that Because he he not on the team He he's a draft pick or potential draft pick He didn't nobody seen ain't nobody rushing out to go get him nobody rushing out to go go help him or nothing They will chew you and and he ain't even got in the league yet They will chew you up and spit you out So that's why I always talk about how players they need to try to get their bread But again, uh money isn't everything It isn't everything And that's just again in life in general. So we're players, uh, if they do decide, you know what? Uh, we're gonna go a different route. Um, you know what? I'm not gonna make as much money as I would have here when I go there But I'm looking for a change. I'm looking for something different I'm looking for a change of scenery. I'm looking for a change of environment. I'm just looking for a fresh start That's how it is sometimes It can be like that sometimes in our own personal lives with like stuff something like work Sometimes you could have you could have an opportunity sitting right in front of you That opportunity could be oh, man. Oh, I could make so much money I could make so much bread. Oh, this would be great Oh, but I'll never see my family Hmm, but I won't have any personal time to myself. Oh But I'll be working 24 seven. Oh Oh, the hours are crazy. Oh, man And those are things that you've got to think about so it's not always Worth it. So with braley boseman Whatever it was That's fine kudos to him Hope him and his wife they have a phenomenal time Out in it's the north of south carolina, whichever one of these hopefully they had fun in both carolinas Um, and and they enjoyed themselves on their new adventure. So just like the boseman's all when it came to being in Baltimore We out
