 In the football world, there are a few things that will forever remain undefeated the 72 dolphins Tom Brady against the refs and The fact that timing continues to be everything Now of course yesterday We saw one of the biggest story lines of this offseason with the Baltimore Ravens take another turn and That was of course Matt Jude on actually signing his franchise tag And that was a big question mark of if Matt Jundon was gonna sign his franchise tag And when he was gonna sign his franchise tag and both of those questions were answered yesterday And there had been a lot of speculation over the past few months What the Ravens could do with Matt Jude on if they were gonna take back the franchise tag and resend it or if once He signed the franchise tag he was gonna be traded So now we can start to see those questions be answered without a word and The reason I say they can be answered without a word is because I did tell y'all yesterday And shout out to the people that watched the video. I said put in the comment section of this video the most peaceful franchise tag ever Because it has been just that because we've had some different things that could have caused some disruption Could have caused some disagreement could have caused some friction between Matt Jude on and the Ravens But it's been super peaceful And we're gonna go over those but first From Jeremy Fowler from ESPN He said despite being a candidate for trade interest this offseason Baltimore's outside linebacker Matt Jude on expects to be a Raven in 2020 per League source Jude on sign his franchise tender today. That was obviously yesterday a productive past Russia in line to produce more for Baltimore so I Just talked about how the next move that the Ravens make with Matt Jude on Could be a move that they don't even have to speak about It can be one of those unspoken things that you just we can just tell by the action in the timing of everything. I Think Jude on waiting to sign his franchise tender until now Says a few things. I think it says that he really likes his situation with the Ravens and He wants to remain with the Ravens Reason I say that is because that franchise tag was applied a long time ago It was applied before the draft It was applied a little before free agency because I believe the time to apply was a tad bit before free agency Yeah, obviously because he would have been a free agent and he would have cashed out with another team So the Ravens applied the franchise tag to one Matt Jude on but he didn't sign it So as we spoke about before when he didn't sign the franchise tag him not signing the tag It doesn't make him an official member of the Ravens roster. Therefore the Ravens can't could not do anything with Matt Jude on Him not signing the tag. They couldn't sign him to a long-term deal Because he wasn't on a roster He wasn't a free agent, but at the same time he wasn't on a roster. So they couldn't sound to a long-term deal They could not trade them and that was the biggest thing the Ravens could not trade Matt Jude on If he didn't sign that franchise tag, he was not tradable But then you look and you think like wait a minute if some people still asking it if he's still gonna be traded while that is still a possibility, I Think it's unlikely because of the timing Because think about it The first wave of free agency is out the window the second wave of free agency is out the window win like that third wave Because teams have the most money when when free agency opens up Teams have the most cap space when when free agency initially opens up But teams spend that They spend that So now Trading for somebody that comes with a 16 million dollar salary cap hit all guaranteed That makes it that much harder So I think that may have been a huge reason why Matt Jude on waited to sign that franchise tag right now at a period like this when things are super quiet and The initial first few waves of free agency passed and the draft passed to because that's big as well Because they could have been some teams that wanted to draft certain players or an edge guys Certainly outside linebackers in the draft and they missed out on them and they like hold up Raven's got Matt Jude on they franchise tagged him So yeah, they didn't come to a long-term agreement with them. So maybe they were willing to trade them but Matt Jude on didn't sign it. So no no can do nothing could happen So now he waited so he got passed all of that and Then got passed in another little all wave of free agency after the draft Because the drafts happened about a month ago little tiny bit over a month ago Matt Jude on waited and Now he signs the franchise tag. So it's like, okay Teams have already filled their roster with free agents teams have already filled their roster with draft picks with young guys So now where do I fit in into all of that? Oh Right with the Ravens right where I want to be So it makes sense that he waited and his timing was signing the franchise tag Because I'm sure he wants to remain or Raven but now Things could have got very tricky Things could have gotten very tricky And we're gonna talk about that. But before we get into that The NFL it seems like the NFL is getting a little bit closer to letting fans in the stadium Because I was reading the memo that Roger Godel sent out yesterday about teams and their facilities being able to start to open the the customer facing The the retail shops and stuff like that. So that's one step closer But I'm sure as of right now, maybe things will change but we'll see but as of right now We're gonna have to wear masks and if you want your mask your Ravens mask again reversible You hit up my aunt is my secret dwelling calm the the link is in the description a lot I actually different ways of going about stuff and helping out the channels in the description But for her to support her support of business and know that I appreciate y'all and again She appreciates y'all a ton But hit up my secret dwelling calm and she'll take care you She's told me that y'all have been just showing a lot of love And I appreciated for real man because again team keeping clean with your family and I appreciate y'all supporting My direct family and y'all supporting in turn y'all are really supporting your own family Because y'all are family. She's family. So we all big family. So I appreciate that and I love y'all But with Matt Jude on Again, when we talked about yesterday that this has been the most peaceful franchise tag maybe ever Here's another reason because it could have gotten very ugly Because The Ravens They had Matt Jude on listed as a linebacker So that's why I said that the friend in a video yesterday and in previous videos too that I said that Matt Jude on franchise tag number would be around 16 mil a little less than 16 mil and they added the exact numbers 15.8 mil 15.8 to 8 mil so 15.8 mil That's his franchise tag number as a linebacker, but then the NFL PA They had them listed as a D end So you know the NFL players association they all for the player and they like a We're gonna get you your money partner. And if we don't get you your money, we're gonna fight this thing We're gonna fight it So they had him listed as a DN and the franchise tag for that is 17.7 mil So there's two million dollar difference and That's a big difference. That's a lot of money And I'm sure like For us regular people. I mean you can even appreciate it as as a regular person Even though he's a football guy two million dollars two million dollars straight up So that's that's a big difference. But anyway, things could have gotten very ugly but Let's read the report from Tom Pellecero. He said with a dispute looming over position designation So, you know a dispute is an argument a and with disputes in the NFL Especially over contracts, especially over designations. They can get nasty I believe it happened with Jadavion Clowney really would you David Clown? Jadavion Clowney done had drama his entire NFL career when it came to contracts when it come to contract time Jadavion Clowney, he done had drama his entire career, man. Oh gosh, but anyway With a dispute looming over position designation the Ravens and Matt Jude on agreed to meet in the middle They could have been fighting over this they could have been fighting. Okay. No, I'm really an edge guy I'm a defensive end the Ravens like no you play way more snaps at linebacker than defensive end But you know, well, I'm still a defensive end and a linebacker. I'm both but I need to be paid the higher one So they could have went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth But let's keep reading They agreed to meet in the middle. So the one-year franchise tender. He signed Thursday is worth sixteen point eight meal That's the midpoint between defensive end and linebacker numbers a rare compromise Man again most peaceful franchise tag ever ever When does stuff like this happen a Player in his contract year players already don't like being franchise tag But then so then to add on top of that they wanted to franchise tag you as a linebacker You want it to be franchise tag? That's a DN. So there's there's that discrepancy there What kind of player are you but what y'all decide to meet in the middle? How how peaceful is this? How peaceful do y'all need to be? That's a beautiful thing, man That is a beautiful thing. But what that let me know and again We read the initial report that are from Jeremy Fowler again just to recap it Matt Jude on expects to be a Raven in 2020. I think that Ravens it's from everything that how they've done business It seems like the Ravens expect Matt Jude on to be a Raven in 2020 Because this again, it has been the the smoothest process and again We talked about how he didn't sign for a while now But he was doing his thing on his end to make sure to give himself the best chance to remain a Raven So now with the Ravens doing that because they could have fought this thing They could have been like a look you lined up more times as an outside linebacker than the DN You you that you drop back more than you would they could have done that You were up more than your hand was in the dirt. They could have done all of that But they didn't they met in the middle These Ravens man I tell you boy, they jeez They they they not obviously not perfect. No, nobody's perfect, but they do so many things the right way So many things the right way And it's crazy, man This thing could have gotten so ugly As we've seen with so many different franchises Especially with the franchise tag, man We talked about that the guy who is a defensive end Who his team tagged him look at yana king. God. Look look how ugly that situation has gotten It's disgusting, but then again with Jacksonville all their star players. They they just want to leave they want to be out So something going on over there. You don't know what it is. It's a whole another part of florida But anyway, you get it gets ugly, man Look at that Prescott His franchise tag. I think it's like 31 mil But he still ain't signed it Look how ugly that's and that's their starting quarterback And I know a lot of people call clamoring for andy dawg. No, he's just as good as uh, dag prescott But you know, Dallas wants that guy They want that guy And they're gonna end up paying him But look look at that situation He still ain't signed it yet And there's other people around the league too with the franchise tag But it's it's franchise tag. They can be so ugly But this situation has not been that at all It's been calm. It's been peaceful. It's been super chill It just makes being a raven fan that much sweeter And again while a possibility of a trade it's it's still possible, but I just I don't think it's likely And I think the the ravens actually being willing to meet in the middle with this whole thing That does really make it seem like okay. They really do want this guy to stick around They really do want mad judon on their team what they do from here I have no clue whether they do come to an agreement on an extension or he just plays on the tag no clue But ravens do got love for this guy and again like I told y'all before when he first got the franchise tag applied to him I had never as long as I've been watching NFL. I had never seen this and even just as long as I've been on twitter I had never seen this before to where a player gets franchise tagged And all his teammates are congratulating them I've never seen nothing like that before. I don't know if y'all have but I had surely had never Like they were all on twitter old mad judon with the money old mad judon got franchise tag And they were all celebrating and then the ravens their twitter they were celebrating it too And then they were putting up um They were putting up some of mad judon stories when he was playing future. I forgot what song it was man But future had said something about franchise that oh, it might have been from uh What a time to be alive. I think I think it was from net But Yeah, that's what he said franchise tag on me. I think he said brah brah But yeah, they and they it was like the team was celebrating him being franchise tagged So that right there. I remember when that was happening. I was like, oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, they okay. He gonna he gonna be here But still I wasn't 100 sure but all these events that have taken place from that point on especially yesterday All of them lead up to assuming that he is definitely gonna be with the ravens in 2020 And this could be a really good thing for matt judon and the ravens they can both benefit Matt judon versatile player He could drop back because it's not just about past russia Because I know a lot of people get caught up with the numbers with matt judon as a past rusher And yeah, he has improved every year. Uh last year he got nine and a half sexing. Yeah, uh, we we know how he got him But he got him. You cannot take away his sack numbers from him. He got him He got him But now Matt judon he has a chance to really elevate his game like really Because he'll have better help around him The defense around him will be a lot better than it not a lot better But it'll be better bigger faster stronger smarter than it was last year more experienced than they had last year They certainly will They got more athletic than they were last year Again kalaeus camber and derrick wolf. Those are some huge additions, man Those are huge huge So with that being said Matt judon could be in for a big year I mean, this is his contract year again And yeah, and then tyus bowser. He's gonna be hungry, too He's gonna be really hungry man because he trying to get paid as well So this this is big man This is big, but anyway team keep it clean. I love y'all and I appreciate y'all. Thank you for always being willing to listen Uh, thank you for being willing to spend Spend time with us every single day I appreciate it a lot. I appreciate y'all a lot. Hope y'all having a good friday or really whenever you're watching this I hope you're having just a really really good day Keep your head up Be positive Just show love for people man. I appreciate y'all team. Keep it clean and just like matt judon probably won't be with the ravens i'm out
