 Despite so much stuff slowing down a lot of business stopping a lot of things being placed on hold Due to everything going on one thing that has continued to go on Has been the NFL and it's busy off season and more specifically the Ravens and they're busy off season Now about an hour ago, maybe an hour and change ago the Ravens and Eric Dacosta finished up the conference call for the PSL owners and It was a very interesting one and it just it gave me a newfound appreciation For the Ravens because that was I had never gotten to hear one of those before So it was very interesting listening in live to it and shout out to Ravens media underscore on Instagram He was the one that put me on so I appreciate it and again Y'all make sure y'all follow Ms Ravens media underscore Ravens media all one word together and then an underscore right after it But it just I just love the the level of transparency That it it added a loud Eric Dacosta to have with some of the different PSL owners who called in asking them questions and stuff And I also really and I did say level of transparency because there was a level of it There wasn't he wasn't transparent. He wasn't like, okay. Here's all my plans. Here's what I'm doing. No Like I was just telling my boy Josh a couple minutes ago Eric Dacosta keeps that poker face He keeps that poker face. He does not he never takes it off No matter what the situation is no matter what the scenario is Eric Dacosta is never gonna give you his plans He's never gonna let you know what he's trying to do. He's that he He don't do that Well, not for everything for some stuff stuff. That's pretty obvious. He'll put you on He'll say little things here and there about it, but he still won't give you much details but anyway, um It did give me another uh, uh A newfound appreciation and like I said already already appreciate the Ravens You all know that but it gave me a newfound appreciation for Eric Dacosta himself And when I say that like he spoke about Uh Bronson Rick Steiner, he sound really excited about him. Um, he spoke about Jacob Breeland he spoke about a DACA and He spoke about some of the other undrafted rookie free agents, but when he spoke about them Just he was naming all these different names and stuff and I'm like wow this guy is The GM of this team They currently have 88 players on the roster and this guy was naming guys individually going through the schools that they went to and whatnot and That's tough like that's tough For us as fans it can be tough for me personally. Y'all know I can I can't I can't even say Justin Mada BK's name, right? I Can't even say his name, right So y'all know it'll be tough for me, but it just showed me that he really He really digs deep into his Information process and his study and his research And he definitely he pays attention He pays attention I mean we could already see that and and he's of course been he had been under Izzy's wing for a long time and Ozzie He used to do his thing when he was GM of the Ravens and now Eric Dacosta And like we talked about before Eric Dacosta even took over that what we expected from him was to He may do some stuff similar to Ozzie, but he would have his own style, too And there may be some stuff that he'd be like Ozzie. I didn't like how he did that So I'm gonna do things differently. Oh, you know what Ozzie did this this way So I'm just gonna tweak this a little bit and it may be able to work out even better So but I just I just really really appreciated how he was going through the different names and stuff and We're like really naming these guys naming their stories naming where they're from and whatnot and that was pretty cool Some of the other things that stood out obviously the Antonio Brown where Somebody asked him about Antonio Brown and he just said oh, we're good with the receivers that we got on the team We're really excited about the guys that we got on the team He didn't address Antonio Brown directly. He didn't even he didn't even repeat his name He just said oh, we were super excited about the guys that we got on the team at receiver It's like oh, okay, and another part that I really appreciate it I would have to listen to it over and really read up about it because sometimes with me with contracts I And there's some of y'all that are pros at this me not at all Sometimes with contracts I don't I don't fully understand the breakdown of them as far as What the what the cap hits are there some of y'all that can look at a contract and look at the numbers and everything Like okay, this will be that cap hit that'll be a cap hit. I can't do that But with him he was breaking it down to where he broke down Okay, if the salary is six no if the signing bonus is six meal and the salary is two meal And then he was just breaking down the numbers and he was doing it so effortlessly and I'm like whoa Okay, I appreciate it a lot and when he was saying it live I understood it but then trying to think about it and recall it and yeah, it's long gone But he was just breaking it down and he put it in a very simple format very simple terms how the The cap hit for players is done because they were asking them about salary cap. They were asking them about They were asking about some different players specifically and they and he brought up like a Matt Judon and Arani Stanley and That's what this video is Focused on for the most part is those two Because Eric Dacosta and I believe he said this a couple of months ago, too But he did mention it again that they are in talks with both Arani Stanley And Matt Judon Now, of course, we did the video a couple hours ago sounded like my voice just lagged just now But um, we did the video a couple hours ago About the Ravens possibly being interested in one jadevian clowny Now, um, I know my god knighthood and somebody else mentioned that they think it may be a reporter just putting that out That could be a jadevian clownies camp just putting that out just to um Sort of start a bidding war to try to boost up his value Uh to make it look like he's more wanted than he is and of course in business If somebody's trying to get a job that can that can help them Because if you are a If you are unemployed if you're unemployed and But you've done some pretty good work in the past you got a decent resume And you have You're looking for work and you have these different companies that may be interested in you, but they're not quite sure You may put something out there where it's like, hey this company they they trying to get me for this much Or this other company they they interested in me too. Oh and how about this one too? Oh and that one they are interested in me So if you want me you want to hire me you got to come with it So that if if that's what's going down that would make sense too But I still do think that ravens may have some interest in jadevian clowny Why again because aridicasta is trying to build the bully And if like my god mike b said he said oh nfl better not let that happen They better not let that happen if jadevian clowny was go to the ravens. Oh yikes Yikes, um, but a lot of you are thinking that the only way that it happens The only way that it happens if they were to rescind the tag from one mat judon And then sign a jadevian clowny and like I said in the video that is the The most likely way that that will go down But I still don't I don't see them doing that I wouldn't see them rescinding the tag from judon just to bring on a jadevian clowny. I wouldn't see them doing that I um Yeah, I don't think that eric nicasa would do that But anyway One other way that they could actually get that done and regardless if they get it done with your davian clowny or not We'll see But I don't expect it. It will be nice, but I don't expect it But one day that they could free up some salary cap space would be to extend the contracts of one mat judon and one Ronnie stanley Now judon currently is sitting on the uh franchise tag. He hasn't signed it yet But he is currently sitting on the franchise tag and that franchise tag is worth about 16 million dollars And it's fully guaranteed for one year. So it is a 16 million dollar cap hit all from at judon And Ronnie stanley he is in the the final year of his deal Yeah, the final year of his deal So after this year, he will become a free agent So you have these two players And ronnie stanley you could argue that he's the best left tackling football And that's why I actually think that his contract Would be more difficult than one mat judons And when I say difficult, I don't mean oh man. Well, what would these terms be? How are we gonna come to no because you already got a blueprint right in front of you Obviously that being one larry tonsil you have the blueprint right in front of you Oh, and by the way, y'all know when we wear this shirt, you know, we're talking some business when we talk business a lot But when we put this shirt on we we really got to talk some business. We got to talk some numbers But they have the blueprint Directly in front of them with the larry tonsil deal 22 mil per That's the average Now, of course how they came to that average Um, I would have to look at the details of the contract again, but the average is 22 mil per So that's a fat deal So ronnie stanley him being better than one larry tonsil He's gonna get more than that Maybe like two two more two mil more He's definitely gonna want more and he's gonna get more But the thing with that is that with mat judons deal his deal is going to be lower than that It's gonna be significantly lower than that Whatever mat judon ends up getting from the ravens Will it be 16 mil per? I don't think it will be If they did come to a long-term agreement with mat judon I think um, I think they would actually get judon for about 12 to 13 mil per I'm not sure what he wants. I'm not sure what his camp is asking for But I think they would come to an agreement where he would get about 12 to 13 mil per With mat judon, um, he has been a player that's uh, he's he's gotten better every year One second How unprofessional How unprofessional of me? No, but y'all know I'm very unprofessional anyway I forgot that I had my my alarm set on wednesdays Me tonight shout out to you jw. But um With mat judon he Yeah, I think he would command about 12 to 13 mil per Um, I because I don't I don't think he's gonna get some crazy Contract it'll obviously be the biggest contract that he's ever gotten but with mat judon. He has improved every year Is he a great player this amazing player? No not yet at least He's good though He's good though and his resume. It's been improving every year since he's been on the team And then with mat judon one of the big things that I I could see with him is even more improvement this year Simply because one is contract year. Well for now Um, and then two he has so much so much around him now It's a lot better his situation It improved a lot But then um, so I think he would get like 12 to 13 mil per Now ronnie stanley on the other hand The reason I say I think it would be more difficult ronnie stanley is because this dude Like judon gonna take up he's gonna take up some space or whatnot, but ronnie stanley He That dude the deal that he gets would take up a lot Like even jeff zrebek said it yesterday himself. He was like man that like that More than 22 mil per you're most talking quarterback money And then of course you got lamar coming up in a couple years So this is why I say I do not envy one eric de costa because he has some tough tough tough decisions that he has to make Very tough decisions that he has to make And then you got marlin humphrey coming up in a couple years too. You got him for this year next year And again You you you can't keep everybody You can't keep everybody you got some big contracts that you got earl thomas. He got a fat deal Brandon williams. He got a fat deal markets. Peter's he getting his Oh ravens got some decisions decisions decisions to make very shortly and eric de costa, I mean a No ravens fans. We're gonna ride with him, of course And when he got to make those decisions, I mean, of course he's as ravens fans. We want to keep everybody You got your starting quarterback. Why wouldn't you want to keep him upright from his blind side? Somebody who's been protecting him his entire career and been doing a pretty good job of it. Why wouldn't you want to keep that? Marlin humphrey one of the one of the best cornerbacks in the league Dude has been extremely consistent gets better every single year and has become more of a playmaker every single year And he he's just he knows he's physical. He can he can hang with the best of him Of course you want to keep that Then you got mad judan who's been he's been ascending Throughout his career Every year like I said been getting better now you put him around all of this So he should be able to have a really good season this year He's outside lying back. He does a pass rush thing. He could drop back if you need him to He's versatile You got tyus bowzer Eric the castle was saying on the press conference early. He's like oh tyus bowzer really came on the second half of last season And we expect big things out of him And then of course a couple years later you got limo So if he just continues on the trend that he's been oof yikes, that's gonna be a lot of money But you you cannot keep everybody You can't So who are you gonna let go? Who are you not gonna resign? And Who are you gonna have to make tell the other teammates at the end of their contract? I'm out
