 These Baltimore Ravens making moves, baby. I see y'all Baltimore. I see you EDC I see what you got cooking up my friend YouTube team keeping clean What's going on the same grave in here with another video and in this video the Ravens yet again? Bring back one of their own they bring back a familiar face In Christian Welch and let's read the report from Phil Yates He said the Ravens have re-signed linebacker slash special teamer Christian Welch The team did not place a restricted free agent tender on him But brings him back in the fold on a non restricted free agent deal. So Christian Welch is back with the Baltimore Ravens We all know Christian Welch for being a big hitter Whatever he does get a chance to lay the wood on somebody. He is a big hitter But yeah, like Phil Yates did talk about he has primarily been a special teams guy I know I've seen a lot of people who have been upset about this move But let me tell you this move does not really move anything this move does not like it It's not gonna be so much money Dedicated and allocated to Christian Welch on the salary cap that the Ravens can't do anything else like again Raven showed y'all already They showed y'all already with the whole Darius lay thing if they want to do something they could do something They want to make something happen. They could make something happen So don't think like oh man, they sign Christian Welch or what a waste because Cuz I know people and I get it people frustrated Ravens fans are extra frustrated this offseason I get it. This ain't been the offseason that a lot of us have been hoping for it's obviously There's this big cloud over it right now Based on what's gonna happen or it's not gonna happen with Lamar. Nobody knows yet that's what everybody's waiting on and then the Ravens just haven't been very active They re-signed Justice Hill. They signed Nelson Aguilera. They reworked a couple of deals Um, I know there was somebody else that they brought back too, but Ravens haven't done That move they haven't done the move where it's like. Oh, okay Well, they did trade your clock too, but they haven't done anything where it's like. Oh man. All right Ravens. We see y'all It's been very quiet so a lot of people that's been frustrated for a lot of people because The waiting process or not even just waiting process the entire process that has been thus far But with a move like this, even though he's been primarily a special teamer I guarantee if say Sunday 1 p.m Ravens deferred So they elected to kick instead of receive and If they just kept giving up kick return for a touchdown after kick return for a touchdown People gonna be like, man, what's up with this special teams unit? What's going on with them? If you got a bunch of guys out there that don't know anything about special teams and don't have experience playing special teams Not saying that they can't get it not saying that they can't learn it or understand it because that's what you got to do in nfl Anyway, but if you have some experienced guys on special teams, they can help Special teams is a part of the game as we all know Especially Ravens fans. Look at Justin Tucker. That's special teams He's special and he's on a team special teams. There we go. But no, um Again, this move ain't nothing crazy. So I get that Ravens fans are very frustrated. I get trust me. I get it But this being frustrated about this move. I I don't think it's it's worth it Because again, this move is not shaking something. It's not. Oh my goodness. Why we paid all that money to it No no and speaking of linebackers Ravens linebacker situation is A little murky right now Don't know what's going down with it. Don't know what's happening. Obviously got roquan smith He signed up to that five year 100 million dollar deal. Okay. Got him locked up. Cool Currently you have patrick queen but I don't know if patrick queen is going to remain with the baltimore ravens air decosta, then He's not given any assurance whatsoever. At least publicly In a lot most recent press conference He said that they would talk to when when he was asked about hey, what's going on with patrick queen's fifth year option He said that he would talk to patrick queen first. He said they would talk to patrick queen first Before we broke anything to the media And then and then the previous answer that he gave before that Did not give any sort of confidence boost or reassurance that patrick queen was going to be a baltimore raven this year Or even next year. He didn't say he wouldn't but he definitely didn't say that he would So we're waiting on that We're waiting on it I keep saying that I just I don't think patrick queen is going to be with the ravens this upcoming season I would like if he was I would actually prefer that he was Because again the more the merrier especially the higher the higher quality your depth is at any position the better off you are But with the ravens, uh, they want more draft picks um And they're not going to pay patrick queen I just don't see they're not going to pay patrick queen. They just pay roquan smith They're not going to pay patrick queen to So I just I keep foreseeing a scene a scenario where the baltimore ravens they trade patrick queen They trade in for draft picks um, and I think with patrick queen for my first round pick I wonder if they would do the hollywood swap if they could get a first for patrick queen I don't think they would I think they would get like a second And maybe a second and some change maybe a second and a fifth Or a second and six for patrick queen if they did just strictly draft picks um But I just I don't think he's going to be with the ravens uh This upcoming season, but we'll see hey I've been wrong before Could be wrong again another linebacker too that I just I forget about a lot That is on the baltimore ravens who got drafted the same year as patrick queen Malik Harrison Malik Harrison's still there and this is his Fourth year, right? They got drafted 2020 so 2020 2021 2022 2023. Yeah, this is his fourth year So this is the final year of his contract malik harrisons currently This is the final year patrick queen's contract, but if they pick up the fifth year option then So again with patrick queen, we just waiting it's like I've said it I was saying it heading into this offseason. I'm gonna keep saying it being in this offseason. This is the biggest biggest offseason For eric the costa As since he's been gm This is the biggest offseason ever for him And I mean he's only been a gem since well 2019 But still this is this is the biggest one right here He got so many Tough decisions to make so many crucial decisions to make so many roster changing decisions to make He got a lot on his plate He got a lot on his plate and I feel like it would be easier for him To mess up on a lot of stuff then it would be for him to get everything right Because it's tough and i'm not that's not a diss to him I just that's just letting you know like how hard it is for everything that he needs to get done This whole quarterback situation Who knows where it's headed And then this whole patrick queen situation Yeah, you you could pick up that fifth year option keep him another year keep another two years Or you could be like, you know what? No, we moving on Obviously everything that's that has been at the wide receiver position You still got the cornerback situation that you got to figure out too Because I mean Marcus Peters is still out there. I'm sure they could re-sign him for a little cheap deal or whatnot But he's still out there. So right now it's Marlon Humphrey Brandon Stevens Jaylen Allman Davis, Pepe Williams like your your cornerback situations. This is a little marky right now So They have some decisions to make I got some moves to make and then there's a I mean you you lost Calais Campbell He was like, you know what y'all cut me. I ain't waiting around for y'all no more I'm going to Atlanta finish out my career there I'm out of here There's there's that so how do you retool there? What do you do? Because yeah, you lost a big chunk of leadership, but you lost some quality play as well That's going to be on your young guys. What are you going to just rely strictly on the young guys? Are you going to bring somebody else in? What what is it going to be? so EDC got a lot on his plate A whole lot on his plate And then after all that and then of course there's still plenty of other moves too You still got the draft It's like man like he got so much Just Ravens as a whole but him as a GM. He got so much stuff that he got to take care of But That's why he's the GM That's why he signed up for the job because he felt like hey, I could come in here and I can do the job That's why he kept turning down all these other jobs. Remember Remember plenty of teams was trying to interview EDC plenty of teams were trying to take EDC before he was a GM Y'all remember I know y'all remember Plenty of teams always trying to get him But Ravens be like nope. Nope. Uh-huh interview requests denied it ain't happening Why because they had this plan in place Ozzy was about to be out You're like, all right, Eric. You're gonna take over for Ozzy So just just just wait just hold it down. Just just wait your time is coming And the time is here now So how will he handle This offseason the rest of this offseason Oh, I don't know. We don't know but We'll continue to wait and watch and update you every step of the way Team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate you all And we out
