 So you two team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave and here with another video and in this video We got quite a bit to talk about but first before we jump into everything. I got to say y'all know I love y'all I appreciate y'all but something that I haven't even been mentioning recently because it's coming up soon Is the second annual team keep it clean flag football game? Y'all know we got to do it again. We did the first annual and we did the 1.75 version 2 but this will be the second annual version of it It's gonna be during the summertime So it's gonna be in either in June or July and it's probably gonna be at the same location over in Glen Bernie So once we finalize everything, I'll let y'all know but y'all let me know if y'all want to do that again For those of you who do want to do it again So I am looking forward to it. So I just got to playing everything out But we'll take care that anyway Some other stuff that's being taken care of boy. Today was a busy busy day, too, huh? um Eric the Costa he He they had his press conference at the combine, but he didn't really say too much of anything in the press conference He didn't really say too much of anything He said um everything that we know already he kind of gave a little couple of smoke screens for the draft and whatnot But he didn't really say too much, but it was really after After that's when all the real stuff started coming out because I was expecting people to ask questions About the Hayden Hurst rumors about Matt chewed on about a Jimmy Smith Brandon all that stuff I was waiting on that But we ain't get none of it doing a live press conference But then shout out to Jonas Schaefer and Jeff Zerbiak because they had like sort of a little side thing Little side interview a little side mini press conference one on one with Eric Well two on one with Eric the Costa and they got to ask the real questions And we got to hurry to hear about the real stuff and I'm like man, I wish we could anyway Couple of the things that they talked about Number one as you know, I took my notes Matt Jude on Matt Jude on some people will like this news some people won't like the news But with Matt Jude on they said they are in talks with him on a long term deal They are in talks with Matt Jude on number 99 and a long-term deal and with Matt Jude on He of course was the Ravens for the leading past Russia Wasn't really he didn't really have much help, but he got I think nine and a half sacks But of course we took a look at the sacks and where the sacks came from and how he got the sacks and it was like, oh, okay Okay There's some room for improvement But there has been improvement over the years and whatnot, but um anyway Uh He said if he can't come to a long-term agreement with the Matt Jude on then the franchise that tag could definitely be in play and That would eat up Ravens are at about 30 mil in cap space right now So the franchise tag for a linebacker outside linebacker 16 mil so they go 16 mil at that space right there Or if a if they tag him as a defensive end Then that would be 18 mil I believe so around there So either way if Matt Jude on gets the franchise tag is going to eat up a lot of space But with Matt Jude on getting the franchise tag because this again I know with some people on the side where hey, we got to keep them. We got to keep Matt Jude on Let's bring him back. He's got to be a Raven. He is a Raven. We need him Then that's people on the other side was like oh Matt Jude on let him go Just he can be a free agent now. He now we don't need to re-sign them. They're gonna overpay It's people on both sides and then there's some people in the middle just that are just like I'm down with whatever so This will be something that each side needs to listen to closely Because there are some pros and cons for doing the franchise tag on for signing him to a long-term deal Obviously the obvious you sign up to a long-term deal. He's a Raven for at least probably the next three years They probably sign up to like a three four-year deal something like that. He gets guaranteed money They spread stuff out over the the duration of the contract. You know it That means Matt Jude on stays in Baltimore for so for everybody that wants him to stay That will be one option for him to stay another way that he could stay would be the franchise tag if he actually played under The franchise tag because he would get 16 mil guaranteed and for those people who want to keep him with the Ravens then boom he gets to stay with the Ravens for at least this year and You could possibly get another Contract year Matt Jude on because he would be playing on a one-year deal because the franchise had only for one year and If he went all hard went all out balled out killed it and all that okay boom Ravens may be like, okay So he is real deal. We'll give him a contract or worst case scenario if he plays on the franchise tag And he has a terrible year then it's like, okay. Thank you for your services. We appreciate you Matt Jude on we'll see you Now for those on the other side who don't want to keep him at Jude on well the franchise tag that would be That could end up being your best bet Because with the franchise tag while it is an opportunity for him to play under the franchise tag play one more year in a sort of prove It deal That franchise tag could also be applied and he could be traded via the franchise tag So instead of letting him walk via free agency, which they could They said that if they if they apply the franchise tag then instead of having to wait for that comp pick the following year What the franchise tag it allows you to receive something now So you don't have to wait a year out. You get to receive something right here right now and I mean, maybe I shouldn't admit this but you know what I gotta say it anyway On my Madden franchise I traded away Matt Jude on because he wasn't really doing anything for me my the past rush for the Ravens is so bad I even signed a bunch of free agents. It is so bad But I traded him away to the Eagles for a first-round pick and they they took it I said, whoa, okay, give me that so I'm not I'm in the postseason now So I'll tell you how I end up drafting. So I got to first round draft pick anyway So that could be what it would be with Matt Judah So the franchise tag could work either way. They could keep him or they could let him go a long-term deal It obviously only works one way And letting him go that's a whole nother option, but I don't I don't know I don't see that happen for some reason I just don't because Eric Dacosta seems to want the most bang for his buck And I think he's gonna try to get the most out of this thing whichever way it goes So but it is interesting that they were working on a long-term deal not not just because they're working on a long-term deal People don't think that things don't fall through the cracks things don't teams don't take an unexpected turn Players don't take an unexpected turn agents. They're like, oh, you know what? No, we'll shop this deal around see what we can get elsewhere Happens all the time all the time. So just because people are in talks Doesn't mean that they are in agreement. So just keep that in mind moving forward It's even been times for free agency. Like I think that was it Anthony bar. I think was Anthony bar last year Whether it was Anthony bar, whatever lineback it was They signed with the jets in the pre Free agency thing they came to an agreement to sign with the jets like okay jets are getting this player and then they ended up being Oh, okay, never mind. I'm not going any more change of mind end up going back to the Vikings I forgot who it was but so stuff happens. So again Just keep that in mind anything could happen. So whichever side of the fence you on it could literally go either way So then moving on back to the notes They've been they started talking extensions with Ronnie Stanley Ronnie Stanley one of the better left tackles in the league I know one of my guys one of my guys actually feel like Ronnie Stanley was a little bit soft But just just he went back to the the play in the playoffs where he got the ball literally taken from him like taken away on Lamar Jackson's fumble Anyway, Ronnie Stanley he um He did his thing. He's been doing this thing. He's been relatively healthy for the majority of his career about like 95% of his career He's been healthy. He does not miss many games And he's been a solid left tackle man. He's been a solid left tackle And it is coming due for him to make some bang for his buck Now what Ronnie Stanley is he wanted a better left tackles in the league. I think so he's definitely established himself made it He's become a solid solid side with a pretty good starter pretty good starter. He does have some hiccup moments He uh, but he he's a lot better now He's a lot better and he there was never a point where he was bad But he has definitely progressed in my eyes over these past couple of years So with them in talks with giving him a new deal a new contract No brainer there. No surprise there. It's no shocker there. I think I think that would be something that we would all expect So by the boom by the bang, that's Ronnie Stanley Now left tackles they they make the most money They make more than the right tackles because you are protecting usually you're protecting a quarterbacks blindside Unless a quarterback is left-handed in that blindside will be to the right tackle so the right tackle may command some more money But still Little more Jackson RG three for now and trace mix slowly. They are right-handed. So Ronnie Stanley would be protecting all of their blind sites so Again, that's no with no shocker there, but the fact that they are in talks with him. That's a good thing. That's a good thing Marlin Humphrey he was another person that's on the list that they are in contract extension talks with and That is a beautiful thing That's a beautiful thing. Oh man. I'm over here showing favoritism my my fault So I'm gonna get all excited over them talking about extending Marlon Humphrey But I like Ronnie Stanley too now. So don't get it twisted. I got one of these jerseys back there, too I got Yeah, the Humphrey Jersey right here too. So man, that looks like favoritism again Because I had the I had the Marlin Humphrey Jersey, but I ain't got the Ronnie Stanley went out If y'all still here watching this part of the video, just put a hashtag favoritism Put hashtag favoritism in and you could just put a SMH shake in my head Because that's what I that's what I'm doing right now at myself. Anyway, I love all the Ravens players I love all of y'all. Anyway, but yeah, Marlin Humphrey then being in contract talks with Marlin Humphrey It's that's a good thing because with Marlin Humphrey and they said if they can't get anything done by that time that the fifth Year option is a no-brainer. It's definitely gonna happen And I think we all knew the fifth year option was gonna happen too. We all know that's gonna happen He'd but I think they'll come to an agreement before then but the thing with Marlin Humphrey If they can get it done and I don't know where all this money is gonna come from Ravens got 30 million cap space And unless they haven't on unless they planning on doing a little next to nothing in free agency and Just going heavy in the draft. Okay, then you could do it. Then of course you got some more possible cuts Yikes or trades Yikes, but anyway, they they're gonna figure it out. They always do But all this money, they only got about 30 meals I don't know where all this money's gonna come from but the fact that they would be talking to Marlin Humphrey now It lets us know That's smart because The closer you get to the end of his contract the closer you get to it the more that salary Rises up the more his worth rises up Marlin Humphrey is nice with it man. He'd be struggling sometimes with the deep ball He struggles in a slot, but he's not supposed to be in a slot Because that's supposed to be Tay Tay, but Tay Tay got hurt hurt So we know how that go goes. Anyway, shout out the go go shout out the DMV anyway, but yes Marlin Humphrey He's a very very very very very he's a an excellent corner excellent corner Excellent. We how do we have two excellent corners? two of them Wow Spoiled hashtag spoiled you can put that in the comment section too But yes, so the Ravens they try to set themselves up and again Eric Dacosta is showing that he is trying to take care of his own He's trying to take care of his own He really is so again, that's a good thing. Those are good signs so hopefully that model that that just that phrase that That vibe that uh, I can't think of the word But hopefully that continues with Eric Dacosta in the Ravens Take care your own Take care your own when we talked about we talked about in the video the other day when he made Don Martindale Wink the highest paid defensive coordinator talked about how Eric Dacosta is like a lion because he takes care of his own he takes care of his own and He's also been like a lion because I mean when he did when he signed Earl Thomas to that deal last year That was super aggressive like how those lions be man. He uh, whoa, I said what 55 mil for this. Okay. Yikes But no, it's cool, man. It's cool. It ended up working out for the most part All except on besides that Derek Henry play where he turned Earl Thomas around about two three times and one play that That's only for the time it ain't work out, but besides that Just worked out, but Yeah, man Eric Dacosta trying to take care of his own So one thing that I do wonder would could one possibly cancel out another Like if they were to sign a Matt Jude on then would they have to choose between Ronnie Stanley and Martin Humphrey Or if they were to get to get something done to Ronnie Stanley would be like, okay Matt Jude on all right We ain't got enough for you now Could one possibly cancel out the other I know they can they can get it to where they can do all of them Because you see you see what Rams been doing you see all these deals that Jacksonville been doing But you look at them and look at the cap the cap Just this situation. It's ugly, but still But yeah, they're working it all out So we'll see what happens once I know something I let y'all know and I know if y'all know something that y'all let me know I appreciate y'all team keep it clean. So just like Matt Jude on could or could not be we'll see what happens Very very very soon I'm out
