 Oh, these Baltimore Ravens let us loudly know that they ain't done yet. Eric DeCosta specifically, he ain't try to tiptoe around it. He ain't try to word it in a certain way. No, he let us know like we ain't done yet. So of course yesterday, Eric DeCosta, he had a presser and he had a lot. He said a lot in a short amount of time, but something that really, really stuck out was when somebody asked him about cap space. What are you going to do to make some cap space? Are you going to have to restructure some deals to make some cap space? And he said, yeah, that is a possibility. But he says he just wants to make sure that the Ravens are in a position where they have enough cap space to make a trade before the deadline. And one could think, oh, Eric DeCosta just saying that. He's just trying to put that out there just to throw some teams off. But when you look at the history, especially when you look at the recent history, you know, Eric DeCosta ain't afraid to make no trade. And, you know, Eric DeCosta is always willing, always talking and always trying to get something done when it comes to the trade market. Ravens have been very active on the trade market ever since Eric DeCosta took over, especially on the defensive side of the ball. So one would think like, oh, Eric DeCosta putting it out like that. I respect it because Eric DeCosta was he was talking with his chest all the way out, not holding nothing back. And I loved it. I'm like, whoa, OK, Eric. And then what what made it even better is that he talked about how teams have been a little more reluctant, they've been a little more hesitant to make deals with him recently. They've been calling a little bit less. And I think it's because teams have seen that for the majority of his trades, not all of them, but for the majority of them, even to pretty much come out on top. And there have been some that have just been like really lopsided. It's been like really they got him for that. Obviously, one of the biggest ones was the fifth round pick and Kenny Young for Marcus Peters, immediate impact, consistent impact. Marcus Peters, he was a great addition. The fifth round pick for Kaleas Campbell. And oh, yeah, we know about him. That was another one, a second round pick for Roquan Smith. So, yeah, those are some nice ones. Now, there was the picks for Yanikin Gakwe. They ain't quite working as much, but hey, you can't hit all the time. But anyway, so I thought that that was interesting. Now, what could they do before the deadline? What kind of move could they possibly make? I think that all just depends on how things are. Something that Eric Dacasa brought out was that he appreciated how the Ravens were a lot more healthier going into the season than they had been in recent years. And that is a very, very good point. And he gave credit to John Harbaugh for that. Something else that he spoke about. He credited OBJ and Lamar Jackson, their attitudes and whatnot, but sticking with OBJ. He said he really liked what he saw and what he's been seeing from OBJ, how he's been stepping up as a leader and whatnot. He's keeping himself in good shape. And he expects big things out of OBJ as long as Odell Beckham, Junior stays healthy. And I think a lot of us are expecting the same thing. But speaking about wide receivers, he said that they've been getting some calls about offensive players in general, but specifically, they're wide receivers. And I was like, huh, the little Ravens are they getting what? And he said, this is the first year people called us looking for receivers. That was a joke at first, but it was actually kind of cool. And when you really think about that, it's like, man, like, really? They call the Ravens for wide receipts. Like, what year is this? Well, I mean, that never happened before. Since when will people be interested in Ravens wide receivers? And it got me to think and I was like, hmm, if they were interested in wide receivers, which wide receivers were they interested in? Obviously, not Odell Beckham, Junior. He signed to a one year deal. Of course, I got that for four years on there. And it's a one year, 18 million dollar deal, 15 million guaranteed. No, that ain't it. Not as a flower, because they know Ravens ain't trading no first round. Pick this, you know, that wouldn't be it. Nelson Aguilore could be, but I don't think that's it either. But two people that really stood out to me were Rashad Bateman and Devon DuVernay. And those were two people who some trade rumors had floated around or not even rumors, but thoughts amongst a lot of Ravens fans. I have floated around a lot, especially with me with Rashad Bateman. I was thinking, oh, oh, oh, this could. I don't know, especially when it was they were talking about all the DeAndre Hopkins stuff. I was thinking, oh, now I wanted to keep them. I still wanted to get DeAndre Hopkins to and keep Rashad Bateman, too. But I was thinking, oh, I don't know, man, it ain't looking good. And especially when he sent out the tweet about the Ravens GM and stuff and about they need to take care of their players and all that. I said, oh, yeah, he's out of here, buddy. And I mean, it could still happen later. I don't think this year, but maybe next year. But we'll cross that road when they get there. But I mean, hopefully not. Hopefully, Rashad Bateman, he balls out and he shows like, hey, I was the first round pick, too, and there's a reason and he puts it all out there this year and he can have a fully healthy season. Just really everybody can have a fully healthy season. But Rashad Bateman was a candidate that I definitely thought about. But another one. And I saw a lot of people thought about this one, too, is Devon Duvenay. Because Devon Duvenay, with all the additions that the Baltimore Ravens made, especially a wide receiver, could think, oh, what Devon Duvenay, what is his role? What's his spot? What would he be doing? How would he fit in into this offense? And it's like, yeah, he may get some opportunities, but they'll be far in few and the Ravens may look at it like, huh, we could come up off for this money. He's a special teams player. We got some other guys we could use in the return game. But Devon Duvenay, he's not going to be featured nearly as much as he was before. I don't think because before it was Rashad Bateman, it was the Marcus Robinson, it was Devon Duvenay. Those are the top three guys. Rashad Bateman got hurt. Now it's like, oh, the Marcus Robinson, Devon Duvenay. Boom. There you go. But now you got Rashad Bateman. You got Odell Beckham, Jr. You got Zay Flowers. You got Nelson Aguilore. You got Devon Duvenay. And you got Tyler Wilder. So Devon Duvenay, he moved way down on the depth chart in just a year. And not because he's a bad player at all. No, that's not it. But just Ravens just brought in so much and so much that is expected to be above him on the depth chart. So I definitely could see if it was teams calling about Duv. Because teams could look at it like, oh, yeah, Ravens. They ain't got no place for him. And Ravens, they love them some draft picks. Oh, they just shoot Ravens a third round pick. Shoot them a fourth round pick. They'll come up off with Devon Duvenay. He's in the last year of his contract. Ravens ain't going to pay him. Let's see what they got. Let's see what they talking about. And but that's a beautiful feeling to have. Like, think about that. Because there were a lot of people that thought Devon Duvenay was going to be going too. But think about it like Ravens getting calls on their wide receivers. Wow. Now, another thing that I literally just thought about just now doing this recording like literally just now, with Eric D'Costa putting that out there. Because again, as a GM, it's always a game. GM stands for game manager. They don't just stand for general manager. It stands for game manager. Eric D'Costa always be playing because he always he always trying to make business moves and whatnot. So I get it. But one thing that I think I think this could also be possibly possibly I'm hoping to keep everybody. But I know it's a business. You can't keep everybody. They won't keep everybody. But I wonder if Eric D'Costa is putting that out there. Like, oh, yeah, we've been getting calls about our wide receivers. We like our wide receivers. But I wonder if he's putting that out there. To garner more interest in maybe somebody like a Devon Duvenay, possibly. Maybe somebody like a Tyler Wallace, but I would think more so Devon Duvenay. I think they would get more for Devon Duvenay. Now, I don't want them to trade them now. But I'm just thinking about the business side of things. One of Eric D'Costa just he trying to put some feelers out there. And maybe he may have gotten some calls already, but he like, you know what? That's not enough. So he's putting it out there publicly. Oh, yeah, team's been calling us about our wide receivers. But we like our guys. A lot of times when GMs or coaches, whatever they put it out publicly, that means like, hey, no, we want more. You need to step your game up. You need to offer us something much better than the garbage that you've been putting out, because we ain't taking that. We got other people that's on our line right now, ready and willing to make a deal. So y'all are the GMs, y'all better come correct. But I just wonder, I was just thinking out loud with that one. Could it be, it could be, or it may not be, maybe he likes that guys. Maybe he likes the wide receivers on the team. And he does intend to keep them all. I think it will be better to keep them all again. Stay ready so you ain't got to get ready, right? Because wide receiver right now, this sounds so crazy to say as a Ravens fan. Wide receiver right now is the position of strength. Wow, that felt weird. It felt really weird. Wide receiver, it's Baltimore Ravens fan. Wide receiver is a position of strength. Who would have ever thought we would say that? Ever. That is insane. Wide receiver is a position of strength. So, I say that to say this, same thing as they trade Devon DuVernay away. You get some draft picks of what now, okay, cool. Still got Tyler Wallace too, okay, cool. Keith Mitchell will be back in a couple of weeks, okay, cool. Could be a new return gal, okay, cool. But we don't like thinking about the what is, but you got to think about the what is because the what ifs and years past have been what is. What if Rashad Bateman got hurt? What if Odell Beckham Jr. got hurt? We don't want them to get hurt, of course. But what if? What if somebody got hurt? What if somebody missed a little bit of time or whatnot and that you traded away one of your receivers who had had a starting experience last year? So now you're that much more thin. So, again, I just, I don't want them to trade Devon DuVernay. I don't want them to trade any of the receivers, really. I don't want them to keep them all. He said that they called about the tight ends too. I guess that they were liking what they saw from Charlie Collar, because nobody would have to trade for Travis Vocalette, because he's on a practice squad. If somebody wanted Travis Vocalette, all they got to do is sign him off the practice squad to the active roster. That's it. That's it. It's easy, but they will probably call him about Charlie Collar or Charlie Collar, excuse me, or Isaiah, likely. So, hey, man, it's a business. Don't trade none of them away, either. Keep all your tight ends as well, because you don't want to be getting tired, man. Like, man, I get like 50 targets a game. I'm tired, man. I mean, he wanted them 50 targets a game. What else is there? I don't want to see more mid game on his head, but on the ground and breaking it like you did in practice that day. But yeah, keep all your tight ends, man. Don't don't don't get rid of another tight ends EDC. But yeah, man, this was interesting time. This is like, think about this too. This is the last Saturday without football. It's the last, the final Saturday without football. So, and of course, there it is, college football. Man, it's cool, but it's probably different, or at least for me. But this is the last Saturday that we have, where we going into the next, well, the following Sunday without a game to watch. That's it. Next week, come this time, Saturday, to the next day, we'll be watching the Ravens play the Texans. Oh, feels good too. Feels really, really good, but I'm excited, man. But I love y'all to keep it clean. I appreciate y'all, man. Y'all are great. Y'all are amazing. And don't let nobody tell you no different. Thank you for watching. Thank you for supporting the video. Thank you for watching all the videos. Thank you for continuing to watch them all the way through too. I really, really appreciate that, man. Y'all are very special. Y'all are very important people. Y'all keep doing what you've been doing. And on that note, we are out.
