 Now, when the Baltimore Ravens waves wide receiver Shamar Bridges, it wasn't a big surprise because we really hadn't been hearing much of him in training camp or throughout the preseason. Uh, when it was announced that they wave Sean Ryan, uh, even though he had that really nice first preseason game where he was catching everything, uh, it still wasn't a big surprise that they let him go either. And the same can be said for Dante Demis Jr., who had that really, really nice catch against the Bucks the other night, but those guys just had so much in front of them in terms of wide receivers on the Ravens depth chart. But the one that I'm shocked about, I'm really surprised about that the Ravens actually did it was them letting go James Pro Shae. Now, I never thought that James Pro Shae was going to make the Ravens 53 man roster, but I did not see the Ravens just straight up cutting him. I did not see that going down. I always thought that the Ravens would either stash him so they will come up with some phantom injury and then he will be on injury reserve for the year or they will still come up with that same phantom injury and then they do an injury settlement with him and then wave him and then he'd be a free agent that way. But Ravens were like, no, we're not going to go through all them hoops. We're not going to go through all that stuff. Uh, we're just going to do this straight up and it's tough. It's tough. And I know with James Pro Shae, it's been rough. I actually thought that he wasn't going to make the roster last year, but he did. And I was completely wrong about that. But this year, the Ravens, they, they let them go. They released them. Um, so with James Pro Shae, a couple of different things could happen. He actually could come back and be on the Ravens practice squad. He is eligible to be on their practice squad. So that is a possibility. But I wonder about that because I wonder if the Ravens like, Hey, Pro Shae, you want to join our practice squad as wide receiver? And I wonder if he would even accept that because in my opinion, and I know a lot of y'all share the same opinion too, I think the best thing for James Pro Shae will be a change of scenery because it's just been a rough, rough year for James Pro Shae. Uh, in my opinion, um, it's been really tough. Um, and just speaking about on the football field, especially recently, even but dating back to during last season too. Whenever the ball goes his way, whenever he will be on the field, especially the big moments, just bad stuff will just keep happening. And when bad stuff just keeps happening over and over and over, especially when you're on a job that can mess with your mental so bad. And hopefully for James Pro Shae, his mentors can be good. But I just think a fresh start somewhere else would be the best for James Pro Shae, but we'll see what happens with him in the future. Hopefully if he going to continue playing football, hopefully he can catch on with another team and he can go do his thing and he can be provided with a nice opportunity and he could just dust all the baggage off that he had from the Baltimore Ravens, everything that happened with the Baltimore Ravens, that can be a thing of the past and he can move forward. And it can be a lot of positive going on for James Pro Shae. So we'll see what goes down with him. Now, another slight shocker, slight shocker, just a little bit. I was the Ravens cutting Melvin Gordon because, you know, the Ravens, they love them some veterans and they love some veteran running backs. And but for them to go like really young at the position of Gus, that was probably the most experienced running back that the Ravens have. But for him to be the guy with the most experience, that says a lot about how the Ravens feel about not only him, but the other three running backs that made the roster. And this is cause for celebration. Now, we're not celebrating that Melvin Gordon is losing his job. No, we're celebrating the guys that made the team, though. We always knew Gus L was J.K. Dobbins, Justice Hill. We always felt like those guys were locks, but there was that fourth spot. There was that was that fourth spot that was tricky and felt like it was a battle between Melvin Gordon and Keaton Mitchell. And especially judging by Keaton Mitchell's retweets, he made the roster. So that is a beautiful thing. Our guy, he made the team. So that's exciting to think about. It's exciting to think about how the Ravens could possibly use him. Will they use him as a return man? Will they use him as a gunner? Will they use him as a running back? Catch passes out of the backfield, handed off to him. You got a lot of options and a lot of different things you could do with Keaton Mitchell, and now he'll have an opportunity whenever he does get an opportunity. Ain't like he going to begin 10, 15 carries a game. No, that would be crazy expectations right now. But he does have a big opportunity in front of him, because now he can be playing behind a starting offensive line, playing with the starting receiver, starting Titan, starting quarterback. Now he will be going to get started in defense as two, but he should be in some good shape. So I'm looking forward to that. Now, somebody else, speaking of offensive players, somebody else who was waved today was Travis Vocalek, the Titan. And we know he had made some nice catches this preseason, especially them touchdown catches that he got. But his, him being waved, I don't think that was a big shocker at all. Because I've always felt like I never felt like he was going to make the roster. I feel like it would be practice squad at best. But I don't think he'll even sign with Ravens practice squad. Reason being, because I think somebody else is going to give him an opportunity to sign with them. He could look at Ravens practice squad the same way that I look at the Ravens Titan room right now. I feel like the Titan room is set. They are good to go and they don't need no more, don't need no less, but they're good. So I didn't feel like he really had a chance to make the roster. And I always felt like that third spot was Charlie Colas. But he could look at it like that, like, oh, man, these Ravens are set. The Titan room is set. I don't have a chance for playing time. Obviously, unless somebody got hurt, he could sit and wait on a practice squad. He could still make some good money now. So being on the practice squad would not be a bad thing at all. But if he's looking for money and opportunity, then he could look for it somewhere else, in my opinion. And I ain't kicking him off the team. Hey, you want to join the practice squad? No problem. But I think his best opportunity to get more opportunity would not be with the Baltimore Ravens. But we'll see. But if you're on the practice squad, hey, Ravens, they ready so you ain't got to get ready. You want to keep folks like on the practice squad? No problem. Throw them in there. But let's go over some other some other moves that happen with our beloved Baltimore Ravens, because I still haven't seen the official Ravens roster yet. They still ain't put it out yet. So it's it's four forty nine right now. Now, I was thinking, all right, Ravens going to put it out at four one because every year they do this. They do this every single year. They wait till the deadline and then usually a minute after the deadline. That's when Ravens will drop it on us. But Ravens playing right now, they playing games right now. Y'all want to play games? Keep playing games, Ravens. But you know, I still love you. I can't do nothing about it, but wait, I ain't got no choice. But anyway, some other guys, and this is from Jeff Zribik. He said Jeremiah Moon. He got cut. Sean Ryan, who we mentioned earlier, Travis Vocalic, who we just finished talking about, obviously, James Pro Shae. Now, keep on Seymour. That was a surprising one. But Jeff did break it down like because I expect to keep on Seymour to make the roster. I was like, oh, yeah, he's a lot to make the roster. But Jeff Zribik pointed out that the Ravens are releasing him, but it's likely only temporary. He's a vested vet who isn't subject to waivers. So that means that when he's released, he gets released. He is immediately a free agent and he doesn't have to pass through the waiver wire. The waiver wire is when a player gets released and any team can claim them. Now, the team that has the highest order in the waiver wire is a team that did the worst last year, what not. And that would be the Bears since they had the number one pick, I believe. But anyway, they had the worst record, excuse me. So the Bears have the first dibs on whoever gets released. And the bottom team would obviously be the chiefs because they were the Super Bowl champions. He said the Ravens also waved offensive linemen, Tykeem Doss. They also waved offensive linemen to Sean Manning and Jalen Thomas. They also waved David Sharp. Now, David Sharp, that that's an offensive linemen. Now, another small surprise was Christian Welch, because I thought that he was not necessarily a lot to make the team, but I thought he was going to make it. I thought he's going to make it because he'd been on special teams for the Ravens these past couple of years and he's a big hit on special teams. So I could see them bringing him back to the practice squad, though. So we'll see what happens with that. But yeah, so they we still waiting on that official roster, even though that official roster is still going to be some big changes in it because they're going to be moving some guys around, putting some guys on IR and whatnot. They still could release some guys and they could still do some other stuff. So we're waiting on that. And when that comes out, of course, go over and whatnot. But these moves, these were probably some of the most significant moves that we saw today. And yes, tough business, man. These GMs, they they are in such a tough, tough, tough spot because these GMs, they end up drafting these players. So these GMs, they make the call. Hey, do you want to be a Baltimore Raven? Hey, really, would it whichever team that they are the GM of? But they they call these players? Hey, you want to be on our team? Do they draft them? They meet their friends, their family. They meet all of that. They meet their kids. They're all of that. And you really form these relationships. But then you got to be like, hey, I got to let you go. Got to let you go. So that is a tough business, man. And NFL is such a tough business in a million different ways. But this is just another one of them. So just like a lot of NFL players are a whole lot when it comes to having been on a team, just like a lot of them, unfortunately, are now in this tough, tough, tough part of the business, we out.
