 play the game big bank take little bank well I've never really was into it because I didn't really have the money like that and if I even did have a little extra money I wouldn't want to risk it playing something like that but I'm feeling a little confident today because I have this five dollar bill now if I decided that I wanted to play big bank take little bank against the Baltimore Ravens with this five dollar bill I think I could actually win reason being because the Ravens are a little strapped for cash right now but before we get into that team keep it clean I gotta say I love y'all special shout out to my guy David Beach reason being because as you all know as you all saw this past Wednesday the Ravens training camp passes they became available and it came and went in a matter of like four minutes it was super fast so anybody that was fortunate enough to get a pass to Ravens training camp this year congratulations to you but my guy David he was able to get some but he found out that he unfortunately won't be able to attend so he did hit me up and ask if I knew anybody that needed something I said yeah one of my guys was actually looking to take his family there so I gave him his contact information and he was able to transfer the tickets to my boy so shout out to you David I really appreciate it he really appreciates it and we really appreciate you here on team keep it clean so thank you for that now the Ravens whoo you know what let's just read the report verbatim straight from Brian McFarland who is Raven salary cap on twitter please make sure you follow him please because all things Raven salary cap I don't know how he gets it I don't know but I ain't asking no questions because he's obviously on point he been on point for years he's trustworthy factual all that good stuff reliable yeah he's a one anyway um Brian McFarland on twitter he put because you remember Justin Houston the Ravens originally put the tender on him that unrestricted free agent tender and he would either be he had three options if he didn't want to play for the Ravens and he wouldn't be able to play at all so he had to retire but if he did want to play for the Ravens he could either um have signed the tender or like it's some crazy deadline anyway um they were like you know what scrap the tender we just gonna sign you back on a one-year deal um they made a deal official they announced it and all that but we just hadn't heard about the cap numbers for that deal um so he's giving us the cap number he said Justin Houston's one-year deal includes a 3.5 mil cap hit for 2022 I was like whoa 3.5 mil okay they like they really love them some Justin Houston boy I ain't mad at it but woo I didn't think his cap hit was gonna be that high I didn't like again he's not a bad player so I don't want anybody to think that he's not a bad player I just I was just a little surprised but anyway Justin Houston's one-year deal includes a 3.5 mil cap hit for 2022 he has a base salary of 1.12 mil so that's that's that's low but then the signing bonus is 2.38 mil uh or some combination of a signing bonus and a roster bonus that equates to 2.38 mil so that's cool all right we got that out the way but here's the kicker here's where it gets fun the Ravens now have only 672,240 dollars in cap space let me run that back not 6 mil but 672,240 dollars in cap space so yeah Ravens money's a little thin but uh no no no y'all know we ain't giving nobody no excuses now y'all know but anyway he said uh restructures will be needed to sign remaining draft picks so um yeah something Ravens are at a point right now where something has got to give and um I would suggest that you stay on the lookout um for somebody to get restructured or extended and I'm not even talking about Lamar Jackson not talking about Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson would obviously open up probably he'd probably be the one that will open up the most cap room if he was to get a contract extension um but I ain't even talking about him uh because I don't even think it will be him right now but hey who knows uh but something's going to happen uh to because Ravens they have to open up some money they have they have no choice but to so because again he mentioned how they they still got some draft picks that I think is three left that got a sign I think it's three maybe it's two it's like two or three one or two but either way um they got some draft picks that need to be signed and of course they're still gonna want to have some a little extra money some little pocket money and whatnot uh to go into the season with as as just in case money as rainy day money as stay ready so you ain't got to get ready money um so stay on the lookout for something to happen literally any day now um if I had to base it on anything I would think that it would happen before training camp training camp is only what like two weeks away something like that it's only like two weeks and change away maybe I forgot how long it is away but I know it's super close um but yeah Ravens have to do something now what I was mentioning earlier I know some people they see that cap number and they like oh man well man we're not gonna be able to get anybody now that's not true that's definitely not true remember if I take you back I'll never forget because I remember thinking like oh man somebody told them they told them they faking they lying this not true that ain't real I remember a couple years back the uh Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs had $177 not $177,000 they had $177 in cap space $177 they gave an extension to think Chris Jones Tyreek Hill Travis Kelsey was that the year that Patrick my home got extended to I only remember but my point is they were still able to get it done they they gave the extensions those extensions opened up the money and you know the rest of the story so on and so forth and I don't even have to remind you about what the New Orleans Saints be doing over there because they flipping finagle this thing every single year and then of course the rain oh please don't even talk to me about no runny actually do do talk to me about the rain because that's a conversation that I love having but my point is and this ain't even to get into the the whole debate where people make it extreme oh you just want to be like the Rams you just want to do things like the Rams do is that the only way that works no um but what I'm saying is that the Ravens yeah that that when you see that number initially that oh man 672,000 in cap space yikes yeah it can't initially look like a yikes but it's the NFL so they they could they could work this day and they will work it out to where they'll be able to obviously sign their draft picks and they'll still be able to have some more money to do some other stuff too it's just a matter of how are they gonna get it done are they gonna approach Ronnie Stanley are they gonna approach Marlon Humphrey are they gonna approach Mark Andrews I think he would probably be a candidate because he's in the second year of his new deal and it's usually the newer deals that get approached first could they be like Marcus Williams hey man we need to do a little flip a little maneuver with your contract I don't think it'll be him yet but we'll see we'll see we'll see but my point is it will be somebody now one name that has been just floating around like crazy not recently though it had been before when it came to the Ravens possibly opening up some cap space when it came to possibly extending his contract was Marcus Peters and then everything just went silent on him and with Marcus Peters I think it's a very tricky situation and it's almost a little bit like worrisome for the future not not right here right now but possibly like next year because he's on a one-year deal and I think his what is his contract like 10 no he could open his contract is either worth 10 mil he could open up like 10 mil if they did an extension something like that but either way he's on a one-year deal right now he's in the last year of his deal and we haven't seen him so I know there had been a lot of talk and a lot of people thinking and speculating like oh Marcus Peters he could be somebody where the Ravens they could extend him and they obviously still could but I think that the Ravens are more in a wait and see mode with Marcus Peters to see exactly where he is exactly how he's looking on the field and then they'll go based off of that I don't think that they will give him a contract extension before they actually see him I don't think they're gonna go back to that whole uh that Joe Flacco year when he was uh we remember uh after the Super Bowl he signed the six-year 120 million dollar deal um but it was really a three-year deal it was a deal that it was six years but we all knew that in three years they were gonna come back and reworked the whole thing um so three years had passed and it was time for them to rework the whole thing but the only problem was that the previous year Joe Flacco had tore his was it his Achilles or his ACL I forget which one it was that that was I think it was it Aaron Donald that did that is that the game that um Aaron Donald broke Justin Four Sets on who for picked them up bam Justin Four Sets out for the season and then this that same game Joe Flacco tore his ACL Achilles whichever one it was but anyway um it was the following year after Joe suffered that season ending injury that the Ravens they reworked the deal and very briefly he became the highest paid quarterback in the NFL yet again um but they gave him that money without being like I will Flacco we know exactly how good you are from being removed from that uh from your surgery and whatnot and from your injury even though I mean I guess they they didn't really have no other options at quarterback though uh and I guess they will felt like they were like locked in anyway um so and it worked out in the long run because in the long run we ended up getting Lamar Jackson afterwards too so yeah it all worked out but anyway uh with Marcus Peters I just I think they'll wait I don't think that they'll do the same thing with him that they did with Joe Flacco um and really that just reminds me of of a couple of guys uh but those guys aren't in contract situations um and the guys that who are coming back from injury serious injury who were just waiting on um but that's a whole nother story and a whole nother topic for a whole nother day but anyway y'all I uh I'm ready Ravens if y'all want to play big bank take a little bank I'm with it
