 Hey shout out to a live raven nation on Twitter because if there's ever anything that you miss as a Baltimore Ravens fan They will let you know of it and this was something that I had not seen this article from USA today It's called seven potential salary cap casualties for the Baltimore Ravens in 2024 And they got some names and some moves that I didn't even think of none of us even thought of well Maybe some of y'all did I know some team keep it clean be ready to cut anybody they messed up one play get him off the team buddy But anyway, we about to get into this article and they put some stuff in some interesting ways And we're gonna talk about it right before we do make sure you subscribe to the channel turn notifications on and do not miss a Single video and also leave a like on the video because it helps a lot now this article I will link it down below in the description if I forget to remind me because I'll be forgetting a lot of stuff It is called again seven potential salary cap casualties for the Ravens in 2024 And it is by Glenn Erby. This was put out on February 13th So a couple days ago. Anyway, it says the Baltimore Ravens of has officially concluded with the Chief Super Bowl win And the focus now shifts to us was shaping up to be a franchise altering offseason for general manager Eric DeCosta where things currently stand the Ravens are expected to have roughly about 7.3 million cap space Via over the captain. That's the 20th most in NFL That number could grow if the team opposite part with some expensive contracts perhaps Ronnie Stanley and Marlon Humphrey So from jump from jump We just gonna throw it in there casually perhaps Ronnie Stanley and Marlon Humphrey. Whoa Whoa, what let's go the Ravens have 48 players currently under contract for the 2024 season We're looking at seven potential pre-free agency casualties per the over the cap transaction table number one The one that they listed first and I guess this is in no particular order, but Ronnie Stanley says the cap savings for Releasing Ronnie Stanley will be 15 million dollars, but the dead hit the dead money hit would be 11 meal. So real quick No doing the math and that that's a little less than for meal that would come available, but How does that work? Cuz it's for any y'all that would understand it more thoroughly than I do the way that I would assume Especially reading this that it will work. All right cap saving you will save 15 meal All right Hey, we get 15 meal back cool, but the dead money hit would be a little over 11 meal because it says 11.1 points. Excuse me 11 meal 168,250 dollars. So little over 11 meal. So that would be the dead money hit So I'd assume that the money that you save in the dead money hit will both go on to the cap this year So that would give you a little over four meal. That's the way I think it is But I'm not a hundred percent sure. So somebody could explain that in the comment section We would all Appreciate it. But anyway, it says the talents and offensive tackle has started every game since he was a rookie in 2016 And has dealt with injuries since 2019. He played seven games between the 2020 and 2021 season and miss five in 2022 In 2023 Stanley missed just four games dealt with injuries throughout the season It's been the final stretch on a pitch count when Stanley's healthy He's a solid player, but hasn't been a pro bowler all pro players since 2019 an outright cut or trade of Stanley Would leave Baltimore with 17 meal in dead cap space while a post-June 1st move makes the most sense In 2023 Stanley finished 37th and oh, no, I don't like the PFF stuffs PFF can be really weird. They can be very inconsistent. So we're not even gonna read that no disrespect to them, of course But we're not gonna read that part So Ronnie Stanley is the one that had been a conversation amongst a lot of Ravens fans on if the Ravens should cut or keep him Um, so yeah, and I get it again with Ronnie Stanley You know what life is like without Ronnie Stanley more than you know what life is like with him With somebody who's a starter like with him and Morgan Moses crazy And that was some crazy that I remember toward the end of the season and they mentioned it then being on a pitch count An offensive line on a pitch count That was crazy. I mean it was working. This was no problem, but Yeah on a pitch count Moving on he said uh next is a post-June 1st cut or trade with Tyus Bowser And I think with this one This is one that we all like we know is gonna happen We know Tyus Bowser not gonna be with the Baltimore Ravens next year. They have this is just a weird relationship I don't know what was going on But he's all but gone in my opinion. It's not as official yet But I feel like we all feel like this move is definitely happening because Just like with Ronnie Stanley, but really with Tyus Bowser He was going the whole year. So you really know what life is like without Tyus Bowser You really do talented player when he plays but You you you've seen life without him just whole year whole year Whole year and they said the cap savings for Tyus Bowser would be 5.5 mil While the dead cap hit would be just two mil So with the dead cap hit with the cap savings outweighing the dead cap hit by a significant amount Especially with that you it's like you you you just know man You just know um So yeah, it also mentioned a cut or do a post june 1st cut or trade trade ain't gonna happen with him But pat ricard. So that's Surprising one there. Uh, it said the cap savings for pat ricard would be four million dollars. Oh Yeah, that's a lot. I know he's getting paid. But whoa That's like cap saving money for a full back and we know pat ricard. He does a lot He does a whole lot for the Baltimore Ravens Well, when they want to use him but he does a whole lot for the Baltimore Ravens. He's extra offensive linemen He's a wire receiver. He's running back. He's tight in he's all all that stuff But it said the cap savings for pat ricard before mill but the dead cap hit would only be 1.1 mil So again another move with now this one I'm for sure that it's gonna happen with bowser, but with pat ricard. I don't know Uh now unless they cut them only the way I see it happening with pat ricard is if they cut them Then they brought them back for cheaper. That's it. That's the only way I see it happen I I think part pat ricard is with the Baltimore Ravens next year for sure my opinion If if he doesn't come back in his current contract, okay But I think he'll be back with the Ravens for sure So I could see this happening, but then I could see them be like, hey pat you ain't going nowhere, buddy But hey, don't let them been mason you though. Anyway next cut post june 1st cut Morgan moses So that'd be something now. I wonder I wonder if the Baltimore Ravens would do that. Well, they would really jump out there if they Possibly got rid of both their starting offensive tackles. That'd be running Stanley and Morgan motors That would be that'd be something right then. I know some people say oh boy. He's boy. He's boy. He's I get it but slow down now because he's coming off a big injury So do you want to all put all your eggs in that basket? Do you want to do because you've done that before with guys coming off a big injury? Especially offensive linemen right Ronnie Stanley look Hey Even they did it with um The one who was working out off site and he was with the Broncos and they cut him Oh, what's his name? Oh I cannot think of his name. He was bald. It was a couple years ago and then Raven signed him and They uh, when he started he ended up getting hurt like on the first game I cannot think of his name, man I ain't gonna stay on it because I'll be here forever. But y'all know I know somebody in the comments I know exactly who I'm talking about and they're gonna say it. I'm gonna be like, ah, that's it I can't remember it though. But anyway With Morgan motors if they did a cut or post-june first cut cap savings would be 5.5 million dollars with the dead money being 1.4 So that's another one where the savings outweigh the dead money by a significant amount So when it looks like that, that's when you can really say, oh, this could actually happen nobody So we'll see I don't know about this next part it did say, uh, it said baltimore's Confidence and daniel filee le being ready and able to step into the starting role would also be a factor So if it's based on that then it ain't happening yet Because they are not confident in daniel filee le being a starter right now You can tell that and that's no offense to daniel filee le at all But you could tell by the baltimore ravens actions that they are not confident in him being a starter right now Next oh, this one is interesting right here, buddy said cut or do a post-june first cut or trade justice hill So the cap savings would be 2.4 mil But the dead cap hit would only be $500,000 See, I like justice hill. I think justice hill came a long way. Um for the baltimore ravens this year He was involved a lot. Um, he's a big part of what they did. Um, and He's like always be a contributor. He can continue to be a contributor. He's somebody that uh could be Relyed on especially because they're running backs just kept going down. They kept getting hurt jk Dover's key and mitch. It just uh, it's ugly. Uh, you know what gust L was, you know, ravens They didn't care about gust L was like that anyway. I don't believe in gust L was like that anyway Um, so with justice hill he's somebody got a good amount of opportunity this year and he showed himself, man He showed himself So I would like justice hill to stay. Um, because that's quality quality depth right there And somebody who couldn't be a starter in cases too Uh, what I said, yeah cap savings 2.4 mil dead cap hit $500,000. So that's like Nothing when it comes to a dead cap hit. I mean not nothing, but mean much so Yeah, that's uh We're gonna see though and the way they put it They said if you have Derek Henry and a potential free agent signing and key dimensional returning back from injury Maybe Baltimore drafts the running back and allows gust L was to depart a free agency while cutting hill outright He said the hard-running dual threat has that physical edge that the ravens love But he's not elite and nor is he a game changer It's an interesting way to put that um Very interesting way to put that I think he can be I think I think he can be Um, could we see him make some really really nice plays throughout the year? Um, so anyway moving on next is that cut or do a post-june first cut or trade patrick mccurry Ah, that's an interesting one. That's missed to do it all and he that's pretty much a starter because Ronnie Stanley will be out a lot He could play any position on the offensive line. So somebody hurt Hey pat mccurry gotta go step in and he would Um, now this one that says for the cap savings will be 4.3 mil, but the dead cap hit would only be 2 mil so Not a crazy difference, but a significant difference nonetheless um So Let's see now. Uh, this one right here. Uh last but certainly not least. I said post-june first cut Marlon Humphrey. Wow This is one that um throughout this year a lot of ravens fans They were having this conversation on what the Baltimore ravens should do or could do with a marlon Humphrey, we know this year was definitely a down year for him He was hurt a lot a lot more than he normally is and we know ever since he signed this contract He's actually he don't even get some injuries in there now. Um, but this year Injuries just they have impacted him the worst that in my opinion that we've ever seen Since he's been with the Baltimore ravens. Um, and this had a lot of people question what the raven should do with marlon Humphrey, let's read the article though. It says uh cap savings would be 11.7 mil The dead money would be 11.1 mil So right off the bat with that makes no sense That to me that makes no sense The cap savings 11.7 mil the dead money 11.1 mil 600,000 for getting rid of marlon Humphrey that would be And I don't like to use this word often. That would be dumb in my opinion. That'd be stupid If you use you're gonna only save About 600,000 Forget But let's read the breakdown. See what they're talking about. So it's still only 27 years old Oh, he's only 27 while Humphrey signed a five-year contract extension with the ravens in 2020 with 97.5 mil in new money and 40.3 And full guarantees are signing Humphrey has an additional 30 mil investing in roster guarantees A roster bonus guarantees throughout the contract bringing the total guarantee to 70.3 mil The ravens converted 9.42 mil of salary to a bonus in 2023 creating 7.5 mil in cap room Humphrey's cap number from 2024 to 2026 Increased by 1.884 million annually. There is now an additional void year in 2027 Humphrey three-time pro bowler mr Career high eight games this season with foot hamstring and calf injuries in 10 games He had 26 tackles five passes defended or defense and one interception Baltimore finished with the number six pass defense in the NFL without him and didn't allow a 300-yard pass of this season Heading into his a of c tied a loss to the chiefs. Oh, they did. Wow I didn't know that That is great. Man. What a wasted season, man Oh, that's so fresh. I did not know that I didn't know they ain't letting nobody get 300 really not even the math staffer game Not even when they played the rims It said it's unlikely to happen, but the ravens would still have a stout defensive unit with the move That is crazy. I really let me look something up real quick because I just I thought math staffer definitely went over 300 in that game Let me see ravens versus rams 2023 Let me let me just look this up. Um, yeah player stats All right, here we go. Oh, that was game was on december 10th 2023 box score matt staffer. Oh He threw he went 23 out of 41 three touchdowns no interceptions He passed for 294 yards. Oh, he was right there See that that's one of them stats. Oh, they didn't give up a 300 y'all passer Technically, it's true. It's true. Can't take it away from them now. It's true But math staffer was knocking on the door. He's hey, but hey, they didn't give it up. So hey, it is what it is Can't can't fight facts so anyway now I didn't even know that this last name right here was in the article post june 1st cut I thought it ended them all in Humphrey, but it is not it said post june 1st cut mark and jules All the names that ravens fans have been having conversations about They got them all in here says cap savings would be 11 million dollars While the dead money would only be 5.9 mil So the dead money would be about six million dollars. The cap saving would be 11 million dollars So that's a difference of five million dollars. That's significant right there And then you saw what i said, let me just read it said andrew signed a four year 56 million dollar contract With the ravens on september 6 2021 andrew's received 37.58 mil and guarantees of which 30 mil was guaranteed a signing Andrews had a down season due to injury but should return him to form in 2024 But without they are likely his emergence a move could be made and I know for this one. Who this who this is sensitive to topic right here, boy Mark andrews who we love mark andrews is a baller um And I know a lot of ravens fans be like, oh, we don't need mark andrews. We could do it I'd say you're likely we get it done. I'd say likely um And then my initial response was always a like hold up. No, like Why not both? Why not both the more the merrier? But when they have both Ravens just can't seem to get them both involved. They can't get them both going for for some weird reason I don't know what it is. They can never get both going ever never I'm not saying to cut mark andrews now But I'm saying that like when you think about it Yeah Oh, it's a tough conversation It's a tough conversation, man It really is but you see you see mark andrews out there when he when he played a ball now he can Well, then I say I like these out there. He can ball it too then And we've seen it Both of these dudes can play But the ravens just they can't seem to get them to play together And it's one of the weirdest things that we've Seen recently when it comes to the boss more Ravens, but Something for you to think about team keeping clean I love y'all.
