She better be here. We ain't playing no game But anyway, he said I saw this post from Ravens wire that predicted where they believe which free agents will go And which will stay I wanted to know what you think of the scenario if it happened How realistic do you think that this is I know? Hey, buddy, let's see what this article is talking about and of course as always We will link the article down below in the description and it is from Glenn Erby And it is from Ravens wire that USA today commons has predicting the fates of Ravens free agents in 2024 and this article came out on February 21st today is the 22nd So this article still pretty hot off the presses anyway It says Baltimore faces an offseason of change after Mike McDonald bolted for the Seahawks job Anthony Weaver landed the Dolphins defense of coordinated job in 29 players are set to be free agents Headlined by Patrick Queen and Justin Manabekate the Ravens are 20th in NFL and cap space with about over five million available And there will be critical decisions regarding several vital contributors and to all pros. So here we go starting off First but certainly not worse, but not oh no back on Junior Will O'Dell Beckham Junior stay or go let's read what they had to say about O'Dell Beckham Junior And we'll read their prediction and I'll give you minds He said in his one season with the Baltimore Ravens Beckham appeared in 14 of the 17 regular season games logging 35 receptions for 565 receiving yards and three touchdowns Beckham hasn't recorded a thousand-yard season since 2019 But he viped well with the Baltimore skill players and had a tight relationship with Zay flowers Beckham should move on Unless he's prepared to return at a major discount Beckham could flourish playing opposite Garrett Wilson while catching passes from Aaron Rogers with the New York Jets. Okay. Well, I guess I didn't even really get to Hide what they were thinking, but yeah, their prediction was that O'Dell Beckham Junior is going to go And I could not agree more with exactly what they said They they said everything that we've been saying too So I think a lot of people are on the same page with that because they said Beckham should move on unless he's prepared to return at a major Discount and yeah, major major discount for sure It's funny. Something came out a little while back from the account was From NFL retweet and they put that the Ravens paid O'Dell Beckham Junior $16 million this season. He finished with 35 receptions 565 receiving yards three touchdowns O'Dell Beckham Junior got paid more than $457,000 per Reception It's like when you put it like that, oh, okay I but anyway, oh the Beckham Junior he responded to that and all the Beckham dream had this to say If I was going too crazy and we were losing it will be my fault if we would have won the Super Bowl It would not have been my fault. It's just funny the world we live in I play wide receiver Which means everything has to go right just for one opportunity to catch one pass And that's just one pass. We were blowing teams out and throwing the ball 20 times ago I wonder if he meant 20 times a game, but anyway, I played 30% of the snaps lol Please do the math and leave me alone Limited targets do the stuff out of my control. Please show me the passes. I dropped this year I can't I can find one control what you can control and miss me with the garbage Number one Russian team in NFL and we will win and it's funny how we control narratives to fit our agendas And yeah, so O'Dell Beckham Junior He went off about that when he a little frustrated about that one and I'm with O'Dell I uh, yeah, I think um again unless there's a big change in his pay I don't think Baltimore. I don't think they're gonna bring him back right now He is technically signed, but his salary technically next year is $50 million. So yeah, you know that ain't happening so one way or another Something's gonna give with O'Dell Beckham Junior whether it's gonna be an extension whether it's gonna be a release But something has to give like rather quickly it has to happen soon Because the clock is ticking and I don't foresee a scenario Baltimore Ravens don't they don't normally do this No, yeah, they're not a team that does this We have seen teams do it before though to where a player they slated to be or not They's not slated to be a free agent, but the team knows that they know what decision they're gonna make with that player They know that they're gonna move on from that player They know the relationship is done now with the Baltimore Ravens the relationship with O'Dell Beckham Junior is not a bad one at all And it's not like done on bad terms anything like that But they could possibly know what their decision is on O'Dell Beckham Junior But we've seen it in the past before to where some teams they will hold on to a player They know what they're gonna do with them already, but they'll hold on to the player hold on to them Hold on to them free agency or come they'll hold on to the play at the second wave of free agency or come They'll still hold on to that play the third wave of free agency or come They'll still hold on to the play then they'll be like, all right. We'll release you now And it's like why didn't you do this before if you knew you were gonna move on why not do it before? Now with the Baltimore Ravens and O'Dell Beckham Junior I don't expect them to be in that scenario because that's just that's not how they operate That's not that that's not how they get down when it comes to stuff like that It just reminds me of Cam Newton Cam Newton with the Panthers. They knew they were moving on They knew that they were done with Cam Newton and they just kept holding on to them. Hold on to them. Hold on to them Then they finally out. Okay, we'll release you and Just an ugly scenario, but um, whatever's gonna happen with O'Dell Beckham Junior I envision it happening sooner rather than later Just getting older like like they said the vibes were there. Hey, the leadership was there Just him being a great teammate was there Him being encouraging to the other teammates. It was there and the article mentioned his relationship was a flowers But it obviously went way past just a flowers You you saw O'Dell Beckham Junior is just impact. You saw how happy His teammates were when he called a touchdown pass when he would make a big play You just saw how they would get hype because he was hype and it was just And of course the ball like he mentioned when he went off the Baltimore Ravens, they were winning and when you're winning makes everything So much better. That just makes everything so much better because again, you could be frustrated with your numbers You'll be frustrated with your stats and I'm sure he was especially as a wire saver Yeah, of course, you're gonna be frustrated with them numbers because what hey, they were winning and You get to see what matters to somebody the most and I can't fault anybody for whichever side they on Because it's their money, but you really get to see what side people are on the most when They aren't getting their individual numbers, but the team is winning Because some people could be frustrated which I understand, but they could be like no, no Yeah, I'm upset. But hey, we win it. So we doing good things and I a I may not contribute as much As I want to but we win and that's what matters most Well, there could be some people that be like, hey, we went in but I need to get mine. I need mine and again, I Get both sides because Winning obviously. Hey, that's huge as fans That's what we we want the team to win and players they want to win too But players they want to win while getting theirs because their individuals that's mean a lot for their money for their upcoming Contracts for endorse for everything all that stuff matters big time. So that's why I say I get both sides But as far as Odell Beckham, Jr. Oh If I had to again make a prediction on the Baltimore Ravens Odell Beckham, Jr. I think they move on the thing What Odell Beckham, Jr. Is that we love Odell Beckham, Jr. was Great vibe with the Ravens, but my biggest concern and I've talked about this before previously Would be the injuries the injuries because we clearly know that he was not healthy all year this year We know that we get that we understand that he was not healthy all year this year He was hurt whenever he would be in a game He will come out whenever he will make a play then he'd be on the sideline two seconds later every time So we know that he wasn't healthy, but we'll all deal back on junior ever be fully healthy Because ever since his rookie year He's continued to miss significant amounts of time Throughout his career still been a baller now still been a baller still been a playmaker But he's missed a good amount of time a lot of times throughout the entirety of his career So while he gets older And while he again last year he contributed here and there now for sure But we're older and there was some missed opportunities to so that's something to think about as well There was a missed opportunity to But oh they'll back on junior. He's still got something left for sure but Again, the price tag that don't be the biggest thing the price tag had he had like they paid over there back on junior like five meals something like that and He got these numbers even even next year Had they paid him like five million and those were his numbers old thirty five reception five and sixty five receiving a three Oh, okay, cool. No problem No problem great go for it but 16 and I get it Ravens had to do it. I am mad at them for doing it I don't look back at this and be like, oh Raven should have never paid Odell Beckham junior all that money No, no, no, no Ravens had to do that. They had to do that for several reasons One number one and I was hoping that he would get to changes number two number one, but number one was Lamar Jackson Lamar wanted Odell Beckham junior one of the Andre Hopkins Couldn't get both Raven said all right OBJ. Let's go Let's get it. The Andre Hopkins was still with the Cardinals at the time by the way So he would have had to get traded for if the Ravens were to acquire him, but all they're back on dream was a free agent They wanted Lamar Jackson. So they say a will sign Odell Beckham junior and that helped them draw in Lamar Jackson So that worked but another thing too people knew and people know that Raven they don't pay receivers they do not pay receivers big-time money and Even while this wasn't the highest of the high when it comes to money for a receiver for the Baltimore Ravens This was significant like to pay a receiver who hadn't played all the previous year To pay him 15 mil base Salary with the potential of earning three more meal on top of his 15 mil base salad Oh, that is not very Raven like at all But they did it because they were desperate and they had to So I'm not mad at them at all for making that move because it's what needed to be done in order to secure their quarterback and In order to show the world like hey, we all willing to spend some bread here at this position If we really really need to and they really really needed to but With Odell Beckham junior specifically, I don't foresee them spending bread like that with him again because you just You saw what you got which was all right, but you don't know what you're gonna get moving forward My biggest concern is not Odell Beckham junior's ability to run. It's not his ability to catch It's not the yak. It's not the route runners not in the hand I ain't worried about none of that. I think all of that will be fine but my concern would be his health and literally health is wealth Especially for the Baltimore Ravens, especially for Odell Beckham junior, especially for that salary cat Health is wealth. So we'll see what happens with Odell Beckham junior and we will literally see very very soon
