 Alright y'all, let's talk because there is no way, there is no way that I saw this coming at all, like y'all know I was for sure that same day Jason Pierre Paul visited with the Ravens like he would be signing, there is no way that I thought that it was, not that it wasn't possible, but I just ain't think it was happening that Jason Pierre Paul would leave, would be taking escorted driven chauffeur to BWI and get on the plane and go home without a deal, like I ain't see this coming, I was so for sure that I like Ravens got the need, JPP got the availability, cause it's like, hey, it's like you go to a job interview for the second time, second interview, second time, and you know like if you go to an interview for the second time, usually that's a good sign, but that's like you go into a job interview, second time, right now you ain't got a job, and I say you ain't got money, but you ain't got a job and you're like, no, I'm straight, and that can mean a couple different things, we're going to talk about it, but let's read the report from Jacina Anderson, as she said, just got off the phone with free agent defensive end Jason Pierre Paul on his visit with Baltimore today, and this is her quoting him saying, I worked out for them this morning, everything went good, I left there already, the interest is mutual, so we'll see how the business side goes, but a couple other teams reached out as well. So, not only did he go to a job interview for the second time around, but apparently he also has some other companies interested in his services. Now, this could mean a couple of different things. If this is the truth, if this is not just business talk, cause he did say, hey, he said we'll see how the business side goes. What does that really mean? To me, it sounds like a couple of different things, and just piece by piece, and we'll break it down as best we can. I worked out for them this morning, self-explanatory, he had to work out for them, they're seeing how good and shape he's in, or out of shape he's in. I'm sure he's probably in shape, he's a professional, he's been doing this for a long time. No, he battled injuries for the past couple of years and whatnot, a lot throughout his career, but they want to see how he's looking right here right now. And if they feel like the type of shape that he's in, if he can be a contributor. Alright, that's cool. Everything went good. That means everything went good. He felt like he looked good, he felt like he did a good job, they felt like he did a good job, everything went good. Alright, cool. I left there already, so no deal right now. But the interest is mutual, so that part. Alright, they like me, I like them, so we'll see how the business side goes. That part right there. I think that's him saying, hey, step your off up. Step your off up. I want more bread from you for what I'm getting ready to do for your team. Want more money? And then that part could be iffy. And I know a lot of people could think, does that really mean that? The interest is mutual, so we'll see how the business side goes. But a couple of other teams reached out as well. That part, to me, that confirms that, hey, I want more money from you Baltimore Ravens. And I'm trying to put a little more pressure on you by saying, hey, I got these other teams that are interested in me. It's not just y'all. Because if you really show somebody, especially a company, a job, you show them how much you should be valued by them. Especially if they're in a position to where they don't have many other people right now at your position. They don't have many other people right now that can do what you do. And this company is almost desperate right now. They're almost desperate right now because they are in a tough situation. Because one of their guys is out and he'll be out at least the next two weeks. Another one of their guys at your same position is out. We don't know how long he'll be out for. The first guy obviously being bowled to the second guy being a job. Then you have Justin Houston, Adafi away. You haven't been getting much production out of Adafi away, but it's still early. So again, nothing overly concerning for me right now. Justin Houston, who's been probably your best pass rusher, he's an older guy. And I mean, Jason PA Paul is also an older guy, but this could help with the depth a lot, a whole lot. And even if they did sign him, they will still be pretty thin. As far as edge pass rush outside linebacker defensive end, whatever you want to call it, they will still be pretty thin there. Even if they do sign him. But the Ravens are sort of in desperate mode and then the timing too. Like Wednesday is the first day where the team get back together and start practicing again. Game is on Sunday. So you would want to get somebody in like as soon as possible. So this to me it says like, all right Ravens, hey, step the money up. Give me more money. And the Ravens might have been like, yeah, we'll see. But then with you saying that, hey, it's some other people that that doesn't hit me up too. It's some other teams that reached out as well. So with that part, it's like, oh, trying to put pressure on Raven say, hey, I'm a hot commodity right now, even though it's after week two and he's still a free agent. But this, this is the business of the NFL, man. This is the business. This is part of negotiations. Maybe the Ravens did offer him something and he's like, that's cool. But I think, I think I can get a little more out of y'all. I think I think I can get a little more bread for y'all. Y'all can cough up a little bit more because these other people want me too. Because it's one thing if, if you present to whatever the company it is that you're talking to, like, man, don't nobody else want me. Nobody else want me. So if nobody else wants you in their eyes, it's like, all right. Yeah, this player, they're going to take what they can get. First offer we give to them. Oh, yeah, we know they're going to take it because they ain't got nobody else that's interested in them. But if you present to that company now, it's other people that's looking around at me. It's other people that hit me up. Other people reached out. Then that kid, that's you trying to, trying to force the other, the company to actually give you a little bit more. So again, like I said earlier, show that you are a hot commodity right now. So again, it's, it's, it's all business like Jason Pierre Paul said. It's part of the business side of football. I, I wouldn't blame him for trying to get as much money as you possibly can. It's NFL, baby. It's NFL. It is not for long. He's been around for a long time. So shout out to him and with him being around for a long time. Again, he is very familiar with the business. So, hey, we're going to see what happens. But it's just, it's just crazy that this thing, again, cause I just, I just knew. I just knew, especially with the Ravens in a situation that they ain't got that much money. I think they got like five million cap space. But I really wonder what, what they offered to Jason Pierre Paul. I wonder what the contract offer was to him. And then on top of that, I really wonder if they're really other teams that are interested in Jason Pierre Paul right now. I wonder, and that could be some people could have called be like, Hey, you, you still playing? You still in shape? And it could have been something as simple as that. Or it could be a, we want to bring in for a visit. We want to bring in for a workout or whatnot. That could have been the case too. And I'm sure we'll find that out over the next couple of days at the longest, maybe over the next week or so. But I think it's important if, if Jason Pierre Paul, if this thing is not going to happen with Jason Pierre Paul, then as the Ravens always do, it's important that they move on, move on. Jason Pierre Paul is not the first defensive in that's left out there. And he's not the last. It would be nice. Again, him being Florida, he'd be a Florida Raven again from Deerfield Beach and whatnot. Okay, cool. But if it ain't going to happen, then they need to move on. They need to find somebody who they can get. And especially if, if they're not going to, especially if this is, again, it sounds to me like it's over money. That's what it sounds like. But if they're not going to pay him whatever the money is, if they're not going to meet his contract demands or whatnot, the salary that he's looking for. Okay, move on. What's next? Who's going to be next? What's it going to be? Who's it going to be? Because you, and that's the thing. This is, it's been weird how the Ravens have moved at the pass rush position this off season, especially with all the knowledge that they had going into the regular season. It's been really weird because it's like, all right. With, who was it? It was a doubtful way. Justin Houston, they cut. Dylan Hayes, they, they, they waved him with an injury designation. So they were like, all right, we done with that. They tried him for a year. What was he a fifth or sixth round pick? I forget. Tried him for a year. Like, okay, no. Waved him with an injury designation. Tyus Bowser on the pup out the first four games. David Ajabo out indefinitely. You don't know how long he's going to be out for. We don't know how soon or how long it's going to take him to come back. Then of course, obviously the unfortunate situation with Jaylin Ferguson. And what else? Like, oh, they, they had Stephen Means on a practice squad. But then they, they, they, they signed up to the active roster after week one. But yeah, man, that's, so they, they, my point is, they, they, they, they've known about their issues at pass rush going into the season. And it's just something that they, they just have not done a good job addressing. And I know that, again, with Bowser expected to come back after four weeks. It's like, all right, we probably about to get one of our guys back real, real soon. And one of our better guys back, we're going to get him back real, real soon. So I'm sure they wouldn't want to go out and spend crazy money on a pass rusher. Because again, you, you already got Bowser on the contract for him. And it's not his crazy big contract. This thing is, I think this is the, the second year of, I think it's a three year deal. But Bowser's on the way back. So it ain't like, all right, we got Bowser coming back. So we're going to break bread on this, this other premier pass. No, I get that. But still, they should have better prepared themselves for this. So it is what it is. Like we always say, man, stay ready so you ain't got to get ready. And I don't think the Ravens really stayed ready in this situation. This has been a position that's been thin for a while. And it's crazy. It's been talked about a lot. We talked about it a lot on here. It's been brought up a lot. Uh, just how thin the Ravens were there. I remember when that, uh, when that initial depth chart came out, that was created by all the, the reporters and stuff. It was like, all right, Justin Houston, without fair way, then behind it was like empty. It was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where'd everybody go? Who's left? So, and again, everybody, we all just knew like, oh, yeah, Ravens definitely, they going to sign somebody, but no. Well, they did sign that linebacker from the Jets. Uh, but he just, just been special teams. Um, but they said that he, they said he's got to complete inside and outside linebacker. Oh, Vince Beagle too. They have Vince Beagle and he tore his Achilles. So they lost him for the season too. Um, so again, at one time they were like semi-prepared, but yeah, everything just happened. Um, so anyway, uh, we'll see what happens. We'll see. We'll see if Jason PA Paul of JPP got some interest from other teams like that. Um, we'll see. Hey, will the Ravens come back a third time around? Uh, honestly, if he left, he told me the interest is mutual. I just, uh, I don't see it happening. If he, this is the second time around. Cause again, like we talked about in the previous video, if it's the second time around Ravens, they usually make it happen, especially at a pass rush. Second time around, they usually always get that guy. So if it ain't happened now, uh, I honestly now don't know if it ever will.
