 Team keep it clean. DeAndre Hopkins to the Ravens. It's still alive. It's still alive right now Because on the Pat McAfee show, and you know, hey Pat McAfee plugged in man This dude don't win from a punner being a punner To being plugged in having his own show dropping breaking news being on WrestleMania Just doing everything so shout out to Pat McAfee, but on his show which features Pac-Man Jones on there They will they will listen a bunch of teams and different possibilities and destinations for one DeAndre Hopkins They talked about oh if he will go to the Chiefs a lot of people will be upset Because like Patrick Holmes and DeAndre Hopkins like that's a cheat code. They don't make that They just won a Super Bowl with with who MVS with Juju Smith shoots to McCall heart. So if you add DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs filthy filthy but Pat McAfee he was asking he asked Pac-Man Jones like hey, what what what are your sources telling you and Pac-Man Jones said hey added all them teams that you mentioned you forgot one you forgot one and That's the Ravens. He says the source is telling him that it could maybe still happen. It could still happen DeAndre Hopkins to the Baltimore Ravens is Still alive and I love it and I told y'all like look man This would be a dream for me, but and I know some people shoot it down immediately. Oh, that's not gonna happen We just paid old they'll back them junior, baby Well, guess what baby Ravens likes for nagging some money this year, right? Do it one more time Do it one more time great Raven stick your chest out and do it one more time. I dare you I dare you I'm challenging y'all right now. Go get DeAndre Hopkins man see this Reminds me of Obviously with this whole Lamar contract thing with the Jalen Hurst contract thing There's been so much back and forth in comparing contrasts and this and that and how many contracts was all of my offer How many did he turn down? Obviously he was offered multiple contracts because Ravens are not gonna be like hey Lamar Yeah, there you go. We're gonna offer you one contract and then Lamar like oh, no I don't want that and then they like okay. We tried. No, it's gonna be back and forth back and forth back and forth but there's been a lot of Dialogue discourse discussion about what Lamar Jackson was offered to what Jalen Hurts was offering and whatnot now Obviously Jalen got his money now. So a lot of people looking at Lamar sideways like hey, you got offered a really good deal, but a Big difference with those two with their two situations One big similarity They were both questioned a lot They were both questioned a lot on what they could do how they could perform What type of success they could have in the NFL? They were both questioned a whole lot and They even came to came into the league and even played for you and then there was still a little bit of questions here and there but The Philadelphia Eagles they did everything that they could do to get those questions answered They like really made it happen You saw what they did with Devonte Smith drafted in my but then they weren't like You know, they weren't just like, you know what? We're not just gonna give you one of your friends That you knew from before that you know from Kyle We're not just gonna give you one of your friends, but we're gonna give you an established Veteran wide receiver that's not past his prime We're gonna give you an established guy When AJ Brown now it did come out. I didn't even notice or if I did know it may I didn't remember because y'all know My memory is bad Especially with the Steelers trading for Alan Robinson. I didn't know that the Eagles they were close to signing Alan Robinson But Then they end up something end up happening and then they end up just going for AJ Brown Obviously it worked out and who knows what could have happened if Alan Robinson would have went there, but anyway with AJ Brown he was an immediate difference maker and He just continued everything that he was doing over there with the Titans He just continued doing it with the Eagles and maybe even better because he had even more around him He helped Devonte Smith be better He helped Alice gotta be better. He helped them. They're running back big better, but he helped most of all Jalen Hurts be better And that has been the biggest difference because I know there's been a lot of people comparing like hey Jalen Hurts just made it to the Super Bowl. Well, oh Lamar don't deserve that money. Look what Jalen Hurts just did And I get that but at the same time I don't Because the Ravens have never loaded up like that on offense for Lamar Jackson the way that Jalen Hurts has been loaded up for So that's why we continue to say Whenever we have the discussion about wide receivers, especially what what they did with old debt great great job Great job. You still got Bateman coming along You still got Mark Andrews and you got JK Dobbins Gus Edwards sticking around this year Still got Pat Ricard who is our true number one wide receiver, but oh Dear Becca may have something to say about that Bateman may have something to say about that this year But if you could really like load this thing up Really load it up and go get it the Go get it the Andre Hopkins to Now again, this is stuff that they should have done years ago. They should have been did this stuff long time ago But it is what it is. We're here now We can't be stuck on the past but the past has a lot to do with the present But anyway, if they can get the Andre Hopkins That could change so much for the better So much for the better and again another conversation that people will continue to have and I get it trust me I do because it is a real good Conversation that needs to be had what about Rashad Bateman? How would Rashad Bateman feel cuz I know a lot of people feel like a if the Ravens get the Andre Hopkins There's some people feel like that Rashad Bateman could be out Rashad Bateman could be traded Especially after his whole thing On air the console on March 2nd on the infamous Lamar Jackson trade request day the private trade request day Some people that feel like that Rashad Bateman would either ask to be to be exported out or he would be escorted out By trade via trade not kicked out of the building well technically kicked out of the building But I would hope that that wouldn't happen. But I mean y'all know how stuff goes in this day and age in the league But to have three you receive was like that like a Deontre Hopkins. Oh, they're back at Amherst y'all payment. Oh My goodness now another thing to think about. Yeah, somebody brought it up yesterday in the live stream How many footballs would there be to go around? That's a lot of targets for I mean, that's a Not a lot was a lot of targets, but it's only one football per play What about that? You can't keep everybody happy. Can you? well, I mean What are they trying to do? Are they trying to break receiving records? I'm sure they wouldn't mind breaking receiving records, especially. Oh, they'll beckham June You will have his contract set up But what about the Andre Hopkins? What does he want to do? He already said hey, I don't need to pay raise. I need to pay raise that does not mean that he don't want to get paid Now you say I don't need to pay raise. I just want to go somewhere. Well, I want to win I just want to go somewhere. I can win So I mean This has been a weak link on the Ravens for a long time the Y receiving position. I Will love if the Ravens just supercharged this thing this season Literally supercharged it because that's exactly what this would be if they got Hopkins and obviously got Odell and kept Bateman, too Please and you still got nothing I go or two still got doing they for now, too But it's almost like you almost feel at least me you almost feel like it's not everybody would end up staying Not everybody would end up staying. I would want everybody at stake. I will I will all the receipts y'all know me But I almost feel like somebody would be the odd man out Cuz No, let's see. Well, hopefully we'll see But yeah, man, it is exciting to think about It's exciting to think about the potential. It's exciting to think about the possibility. It's exciting to think about just that like Cuz it's still real It's still real Like I try to talk myself out of it I have people when when they send me a message or something. Oh, do you really think the Andre Hopkins to the Ravens could happen? Say anything possible to the impossible no more. Do I think it's likely to happen? I don't but keep hearing all this stuff man and I would love if this thing ended like the Odell Beckham, Junior thing because it's the same thing kind of soda, right? Because with Odell Beckham, Junior and then obviously this thing went on for almost a year But with all their back on Junior kept hearing so Ravens interested. Oh Ravens went to his workout Oh Ravens keeping in contact with Odell Beckham, Junior. Oh Ravens this Ravens that and After so long is finally like case closed Ravens got Odell Beckham, Junior. Yes, let's go but now recently to Remember when the three receivers that were named at the Ravens were checking in checking in on Was Odell Beckham, Junior calling sudden the Andre Hopkins and then I remember Pac-Man a while back on the the Pat McAfee show He listed five teams that were interested in the Andre Hopkins One of them was the Baltimore Ravens and now again He's back on there saying it again that the Andre Hopkins to the Ravens. It could still happen so I I'm like it's like you want to think like oh I want it to happen, but I don't think it's gonna happen But that's how I felt about Odell And you see what they did with that Ravens. Hey feel free to shock me feel free to surprise feel free have at it I would love it Love it and it would do so much for your quarterback to Mike Lombardi. I think he was on the Pat McAfee show And he doubled down on what he said on his podcast. He's like, yeah, yeah Lamar asked for the Andre Hopkins and Odell Beckham, Junior He asked for both of them. He doubled down on it. I'm like, yeah, there you go, Mike Lombardi Stanton told down on that. I respect it and I love it. I hope that is true So I just hope that now I hope that the Ravens they can deliver on this one Because this would be one of the best deliveries That we ever got It will be a great package and I was talking to a couple of people today And I know people ask a what how could this work with the cap? How could they fit the Andre Hopkins under the cap? It's a couple of different ways now Obviously, there's a lot of restructuring you could do you don't want to do that, but a You want to go all in and you really want you really want to get the other guy You may have to do that just in case Lamar don't sign yet You may have to do that You gave you gave some of the Andre Hopkins money to Odell Beckham, Junior, but it's all good man When there's a wheel there is certainly a way Well one of those ways is Lamar Jackson Because if they can come to an a contract extension with him depending on how it's structured that could open up a lot of money That's not the only way. That's a big way, but that's not the only way But that would certainly lower that uh, what it's like a 32 mil cap here right now That they could get that lower, but again, you know, you obviously know what Lamar you got to come right You got to come right or don't come at all cuz Lamar just obviously ain't accepting anything He turned down different deals and whatnot and we still here now. We're still waiting on what's gonna happen next And I it's unfortunate. I've seen a lot of people just they turn that back on Lamar and I think people I think their Frustration is sort of misplaced and then there's some people that's just they they title them off Unfortunately, some people that's like, oh, I'm over Lamar. I'm over there But I think it's a lot of those people. I think that their Their frustration is misplaced because I think they're just tired of the situation I don't think they're tired of Lamar, but I think they're tired of the situation And they tired of how long it's been taken and whatnot they tired of hearing all these stories and reports and whatnot They just they tie it So they end up being like, you know what cuz you know how when some people get upset Some people get upset like you you could uh We can have one of your friends or something like that Have one of your friends call them on the phone. Hey, what's up, baby? What's going on, man? How is everything? What did you call me for? What like what's wrong with you? I want to talk to you right now. Bam Well, not bam. That's old school And they hang up on you You like hold up now what like I'll just gonna say what's up. I was just gonna say hey But then your friend calls you back a little bit or they send you a text You know, don't don't nobody really like taking on talking on phone like that no more, but they hit you up and they like look I Frustrated with my girl frustrated with my kids Frustrated with my job frustrated with my family frustrated with money Frustrated with help frustrated with so many different things and my apologies. I accidentally took it out on you So I had some misplaced anger. That's on me my fault That's what I think is happening with a lot of Ravens fans They have a misplaced anger towards Lamar because of the situation and somebody said it best recently, um Not sure if it was in the comment section of a video. I think it was in the last video Somebody talked about if you were at your job Would you devalue yourself? Would you just take any old raise that they would give you? Especially if you've been working hard You've been trying you you you just been working your tail off You didn't have some slip-ups here and there you didn't called out a couple times here and there You're gonna miss some time or whatnot But you've been working your tail off and you have shown that you You're great at your job And but but your company hasn't even given you all the tools To make you the best that you could possibly be but you still excelled at your job And you're like hey I'm ready to get paid I'm ready to see the bread. I'm ready to see my money So what's up? And they give you something you're like, oh, okay No that I need more than that I think if if we would put ourselves in the shoes of a lot of the players because I know like fans I know how it could be. I see how it could be every day. We talked to Ravens fans every day We talked to NFL fans every single day That's why I get it But I think if more fans put themselves in the shoes of a player and really try to relate To the players and really try to understand more Then I think they would have more empathy and more sympathy For the players and I know some people like empathy sympathy for these guys are making hundred million little dollars I'm not having any empathy with them, man So I get it. They are on a much different tax bracket and pay scaled in most of us But that's that's the best I could do. That's why on here we try to Put it in terms where people can relate to to different situations that A player may be going through a team may be going through. We try to liken it to something that could happen in our lives That's more normal for us So But it is what it is man. So we'll see what happens Ravens, you know, I'm rooting for you. Happy to get the Andre Hopkins Root hey do it man. Do it do it And with the mom rooting for him. Have you to get his bread too, man Just hoping all this stuff can work out. That'd be beautiful. Everything could just work yourself out and patience is Key here, but I mean obviously, but if everything could just work yourself out and then Next year at this time it would be beautiful if we were talking about how The Raven wild that was a great season Ravens won the Super Bowl Like they finally did this day in the third And they won the Super Bowl my goodness That would be great because that would mean when it came to being in the playoffs Ravens will never get put out
