 You two team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave in here with another video and these are some of the hardest conversations for very passionate Ravens fans, but they still have to be had when you're a fan of a team, you end up falling in love with the players because it's like, man, oh yeah, this player, he made this play. Oh, that one made that play. Oh, this dude, when he did that, I went crazy. I remember the moment and you can get caught up. But if you stay level headed, which can be hard to do as a fan. So anybody that's not level headed, I completely understand. But you have to always remember that this is a business. We say it all the time on this YouTube channel. This is a business. The NFL is a business and it is a very profitable business. It's a business that makes a lot of money, has a lot of revenue and they get creative with the ways that they make revenue too. But it's also a very nasty business. NFL, they always say it and it may sound cheesy when you hear a commentator say it. But it really is a what have you done for me lately league. It really is a how can I possibly get better league. It is a league where guys will owners will GMs will head coaches will sort of think of more ways why they should get rid of you then. Why they should keep you and every player has a different circumstance. But in this case, when speaking of Hayden Hurst, let's just jump into it. So it was reported today from Eugene Farnette. And I believe he broke some more stories about something like this around the time when Jaguars were trying to get rid of a Jalen Ramsey. Well, when Jalen Ramsey was trying to get rid of the Jaguars, but either way, he is a Jaguars reporter. And he tweeted out today that both the Patriots and the Jaguars are exploring pre draft trade for the Ravens Titan Hayden Hurst. But whether it happens will depend on what draft capital teams are willing to part with. Hurst, who the Jags were going to draft in 2018, told Eugene Farnette two months ago that he wants opportunities to catch more passes. And of course, I know a lot of you are familiar with that as well. He, I believe his father had even said something at 1.2. But yeah, Hayden Hurst has wanted more of an opportunity to catch more passes. And even though he is in a passing league and a Titan friendly offense, like the most Titan friendly offense in NFL history, maybe he just wants to do more. And with Hayden Hurst, he had an opportunity to be the guy at Titan, but an injury changed everything. And again, in that fail, what have you done for me lately league? Hayden Hurst was the Ravens first first round pick. And he was set to be the starter. He was catching everything in sight. He has the best hands on the team. He has the best hands on the Ravens team. But he got hurt, insert Mark Andrews, and he started to do a little bit of things with Joe Flacco. But then when Lamar came in, oh, those two just, that was it. That was it. And Hayden Hurst came back and he just never quite had that connection with a Lamar Jackson. He still made some plays now. But it was clear that Mark Andrews was the guy. And this was a scenario for me that I had talked about several times. Whenever we speak about the Ravens and their Titan situation, I always talked about how spoiled we were. We are at the Titan position right now. We have three starters at Titan. Three, not one, not three. Mark Andrews, Nick Boyle, Hayden Hurst. Three starting Titans, quality Titans too. They all can catch. Nick Boyle is a great blocker. Mark Andrews, he can make some plays when he got the ball in his hands. Hayden Hurst can also make some plays when he got the ball in his hands. His blocking is a little bit underrated, I feel like. I think he's a better blocker than Mark Andrews though. But regardless, we have three good Titans, starting Titans. And I talked about how it's such a luxury. And I also said that I feel like when their deals are up, that only one is going to get paid. Currently, that's Nick Boyle, but that's only because he's been around a lot longer than Andrews and Hurst. Well, not a lot longer, but you know what I mean. But they both have three more years left on their deals. Three more. So all of their deals would expire at the same time. And I said before that I feel like Mark Andrews is the only one that's going to get paid. They're not going to pay all three. They certainly wouldn't pay all three. So one's got to go. And this business of the NFL seems like one could go sooner rather than later. And my hope was that they could just ride it out together. They could ride out their contracts together. But we know the chances of that weren't necessarily slim, but wasn't likely. Especially if one is voicing his displeasure and not that just because you voice your displeasure that you should be traded because of that. No, couldn't be further from the truth. But with Eric D'Costa, again, talked about it when he cut Eric Guetto, talked about it with the Joe Flacco, talked about it with Tony Jefferson, talked about it with Alex Lewis, talked about it with Jordan Lassie, talked about it with just, we ain't got to go down the list, even though we already started going down the list. But we've talked about with how he is cut throat and he is ready. He does not mind breaking it off. He does not mind at all. And he seems to have taken on this sort of Patriots mentality when it comes to him and his business decisions that, hey, we appreciate you. Thank you for what you do for us. But if we can get something for you and we feel like we can make it without you, okay, you're gone. You're gone. You're gone. So with Hayden Hurst, again, and with Eric D'Costa too, he's handling stuff. He's been handling stuff early rather than later, especially with the contracts that he's given out to play us and even with getting rid of some guys too. So some people, like when I quote tweeted this, one of my guys said that he didn't believe it. My guy Anwar, he said he didn't believe it. Now me, I do believe it and let me tell you one of the reasons. And this guy, the guy that the reporter that tweeted that he doesn't have a check mark, he's not verified. But that doesn't always mean anything. But the reason that I believe it because I remember last season, again, bringing back to Jalen Ramsey talk. I remember last season when Jalen Ramsey was a topic of being traded, it was a rumor going around that Hayden Hurst could be involved in a trade package where they traded Hayden Hurst. And some picks away to acquire Jalen Ramsey. And I forgot who somebody told me that the deal was actually done already. But the Jaguars ended up backing out at the last minute. They ended up backing out. They said, no, we're not going to do it. But it ended up working out in the Ravens favor with them acquiring Marcus Peters for so much less. A fifth round pick in a backup linebacker. My goodness, that's crazy. Marcus Peters. Wow, that was crazy. And then they rewarded him with a nice contract. But Hayden Hurst's name was around those trade rumors last year. So his name being brought up again, especially after he voiced his displeasure with his role in the offense. It's no surprise. It's no surprise. Now, again, I wish that he would just stay on the team. I wish that they would keep him, but I think this report does hold some weight because it just, it makes sense. Now, I know I did get quite a few replies. My guy Ted said, no, he wouldn't want to do it. And then my guy Arum, he said, nope. And then my homie Angie, she put there is no way we give a good player to the Patriots. But hey, it's a business. Patriots are not, are they on Ravens schedule? Oh, they are. No, no, they don't even schedule this year. Oh, well, yeah, they wanted division. So they should be on Ravens schedule, I believe. I don't remember. But Jag was certainly on Ravens schedule. But again, that's only one game. It's only one game. And it's a business. The business side, if you're going to be trading away a player like Hayden Hurst, you're going to be receiving some draft capital back. The business side takes over. You're looking at the business side where you're getting something for at least 16 games. Versus what you have to deal with, go up against that used to be on your team for one game, possibly two. If both of you two both make the playoffs and both of you run into each other in the playoffs. So I think the 16 games, at least the minimum of 16 games outweighs the one game or possibly two. Not saying that the player is not, he can't hurt you because Hayden Hurst is nice. I like Hayden Hurst. But I'm sure the Ravens, if they do go through with this, if it does end up happening, they wouldn't mind the minimum of 16 games that they would get and possibly more. Because I don't even feel like it would just be one draft pick. I feel like it would be at least two. At least. So we'll see. But anyway, my guy, Garnet West, he made some great points. He replied to it and he said, as a fan, no one wants to see a good player go, which is true. And he said, but at the same time, we can't get too attached to where we can't profit as a whole. Trading away our third option, which is really a potential first option. It's really a jackpot deal for us. I would not be shocked at all if we put him in a trade package. The guy wants a clear opportunity to be a starter and he does have the talent to be one. He certainly does. That's true. So the Jaguars and the Patriots. Patriots. I really thought that when Greg Olson was getting cut, I thought, oh, yeah, that's going to be that guy. Because they are clearly tight and needy. They are a tight and needy team ever since Grankowski left. They were in the runnings for Jared Cook. But Jared Cook said, no, I'm straight. I'm going to go to New Orleans. And Patriots tight ends. It just, it was rough for him. So this makes sense for them. For the Jaguars. I mean, you get an opportunity to get a Hayden Hurst. Who's from Jacksonville? Who's a good tight end? I mean, that over everything. Why not? Why not? I'm not too clear on how their tight end situation was this year. But getting a Hayden Hurst is, it's a no brainer. And Jaguars, who are, they're declining a lot of players options. Because I believe Marcel Darius, they're planning on declining his. There's a linebacker. I forgot the linebacker's name. I think it's like Jake something. They're going to end up declining his option too. So they can free up some cap space since they're over the cap. But if you can acquire a good tight end, a starting tight end, who's still on his rookie deal. Why not? Why not? And you have time with him too. Last year was his second year. I think I said earlier he has three years left. But no, he has two years left. They have two years left. I apologize. I know for the people that don't watch the entire video, they're going to be like, I just point them to here. Anyway. So he has two years left. So you don't have to pay him now. And then he still has the fifth year option. So it's like it makes too much sense to acquire him. It makes too much sense. For any team that's looking for a tight end, looking for somebody right here right now, somebody that's like guaranteed to be good. That has reliable hands. Got some speed too now. It's a no-brainer. Now I would rather the Ravens keep him, but at this point it kind of seems unlikely. It seems unlikely. Whether it's this year or even if it's next year, seems unlikely. But it seems like this year could end up being it. Especially if the offense opens up a lot more too. Because the tight ends, I feel like they're still going to need to be relied upon. But they could get away with it. Whether they add another one through the draft or whether they end up just signing a guy real quick. I feel like they could get away with that. Because I feel like they would need to open up the offense and get the wide receivers involved a lot more. You do that, that takes away some off the tight ends plate. But that could work out in your favor if you get rid of a Hayden Hurst. So you have one less tight end that you have to rely upon. And that's eating off of the plate. So let's see man. I'm not a fan of it. And I would hope that nothing comes of it. But the more and more closely we get free agency draft. And I mean, it does make sense that it could happen. So we'll see how it all works out. So Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And again, I know it's hard as a fan not to get caught up with the players not to get too emotionally invested into the players. But always remember that it's a business. So just like Hayden Hurst could possibly be with the Ravens, I'm out.
