 Breaking news Ravens fans according to this article from A to Z sports that was written by Buck rising the Baltimore Ravens are the most interested team In trading for Titans all-pro running back Derek Henry And that is music to a lot of Ravens fans is shout out to music city by the way now This what could this mean? What could this interest in Derek Henry mean what could mean a lot of things and we're gonna go over each of them But before we get into it make sure you subscribe to the channel Turn your notifications on so you don't miss any videos, especially ones like this and we got the trade deadline literally right around the corner It's less than a week away. So y'all stay tuned for that But now with EDC being interested in Derek Henry. What does this let us know a number one? It lets us know that EDC like we've talked about when he shared interest in Adamic ensue EDC is not content with the current state of the Baltimore Ravens And we love that because you could be a five and two to you are a five and two team And your general manager could be like oh, we're good We straight and even in the two games of that we lost we beat ourselves So as long as we correct some mistakes will be a okay and a that could be the case The Ravens could be a okay with the roster that they have right now But EDC is apparently like no not good enough. I want more and I love that He's checking for more on both the offensive side and the defensive side and we love that now With Derek Henry specifically it lets us know that he feels like the running back situation is not good enough And he wants it to be even better even stronger and even more powerful You think about this you think about the Baltimore Ravens lining up You got Lamar Jackson. You got Odell Beckham Jr. Shaw baby Mark Andrews a flowers Nelson Agilov But then in the backfield you got Derek Henry sitting there King Henry just sitting there posted up next to Lamar Jackson Teams are already terrified Petrified of a Lamar Jackson. They petrified of his arm. They petrified of him taking off Lamar Jackson can hurt you in so many different ways But then with the threat that is a Lamar Jackson that makes just about anybody who lines up next to him That much better just like that. Just just a threat alone. So then on top of that if it's actually a good player That's next to him Now look, man, I ain't gonna get too hyped off of this now cuz it's just interest but Everything starts somewhere Ravens fans are extremely smart and a lot of people like to discredit fans And I hate when people discredit fans you cannot discredit fans because fans know what they're talking about Even if they never played a licking football before even if they've never been in the front office before fans know what they're talking about My guy Beasy from extreme sports talk 305 Me and him talked about this month ago. He put me on to this month ago He was like the Raven should go after Derek Henry. That will be running back who they should get months ago He said this nothing really he said this a long time ago and I was like, huh He was like look think like a GM. He said the Titans. They're not gonna be a good team this year They should Ravens should go after Derek Henry that would really upgrade their running back room Well, I think about it And then I saw a lot of other Ravens fans start to really come around to that idea a lot of Ravens fans recently Especially ever since the trade it the Titans traded their safety Kevin Bayard to the Eagles That's when a lot of Ravens fans are like, oh, no a go get Derek Henry bring him to Baltimore because Once they traded their safety once the Titans trading their safety. It was like, oh, yeah They're they're sellers. They're done and we know they're done So this and then with the Ravens having played the the Titans a couple of weeks ago over the pond They got to get a bird's-eye view or actually a close-up view up close and personal view of Derek Henry and how bad or how good they felt that he still was but apparently if they still interested in Derek Henry Then they must have loved what they saw and I mean, hey Derek Henry We were taking care of business against Derek Henry stuffing him up the middle He thought he was gonna run up the middle on the Baltimore Ravens. I know wrong false But then runs to the outside Want to talk about that but that's cuz we will be still missing the doubt fairway But anyway, um the Baltimore Ravens if they were to acquire a Derek Henry that could be a beautiful thing Um, I do feel like the Baltimore Ravens right now the way that their team is set up With them if they have health they already danger. They already dangerous. How do y'all know but why stop there? Why stop there again? They they talk into Adam again, so that lets us know they want to upgrade the defensive line if they interested in Derek Can we that let us know they want to upgrade the running back room as well now? They could be significantly interested in Derek Henry, but Something to keep in mind Ravens usually always they like looking at multiple options They don't solely focus on just one player and be like all right We're interested in that player and that's gonna be the only guy that we look for that's gonna be our only option That's gonna be the only guy that we want to acquire. No, they're gonna look at other options, too So while this could be legitimate and I'm sure it is legitimate interest in Derek Henry I mean who wouldn't want a Derek Henry will minus the Tennessee Terrians right now, but They could also be looking at somebody else who may be a more low-key option Who may be a more under the radar option at the running back position? So that's something to keep in mind as we move forward and we get closer To the trade deadline because again, it's coming up. It's six days away It actually less than six days away because 4 p.m. It's already 6 46 p.m Well when I'm recording it's a 6 46 when you see this who knows But yeah, so that's something to keep in mind Derek Henry could be an option, but they may be looking at somebody else as well now When you think about trade compensation What could that be for a Derek Henry? Well, you know what before we get into that Let's read the part of the article Where it talked about Derek Henry said the Baltimore Ravens are the most Are the team most interested in acquiring Henry as of Wednesday But any potential deal could fall through if the compensation is not right Baltimore is hardly flush with cap space. However, we have 6.29 million available. I thought Baltimore Ravens had like 2.6 million available in cap space. I don't think this number that they had in the article Is correct But anyway, he said if the Titans are serious about moving Henry They will likely have to buy a better pick now This next part says what a Derek Henry trade could look like for the Titans Henry is in the final season of his four-year 50 million dollar contract with Tennessee Including an average annual salary of 12.5 million dollars So, uh, the way that it will work, um with Derek Henry having already played What seven games for the Titans or did they have a buy with yet? I don't think so But anyway, I would him having already played six or seven games for the Titans already the way that the The structure of his uh, his deal would work the rest of because it has to be paid out What they could do Titans could be like if if it's a trade and they just really trying to move off of him They could sweeten the deal for whatever team is willing to take him off of their hands And they could be like, you know what? We'll pay the majority of the remainder of his salary and you're you'll only be responsible for This much of his salary. So that if his salary is 12.5 million a season Then you will need to break that up 12.5 million Oh, that's 12 million my calculator messing up, but you would divide that by 17 games Um, and then with it being divided by 17 games You would take away the games that he played already and the remainder would give you how much he's old for the rest of the season So the Titans could be like, you know what we'll pick that up Or we'll pick up the majority of that or the team that acquires him whether that's the Ravens or not They will be responsible for it. It all depends on how uh, the what the structure of the trade would be now We know with um, With Eric Dacosta and the Ravens last year with Roquan Smith When they traded aj Klein the second round pick and I think a fifth round pick to acquire Roquan Smith The bears they were trying to move off of him. So they ate up a lot of Roquan Smith's Remaineder of his salary not all of it, but they ate a chunk of it So that made it even easier for the Baltimore Ravens So again, it was a win-win for both sides because they ended up getting the second round pick and aj Klein and a fifth round pick And the Ravens end up getting their now hundred million dollar A linebacker who has been playing like a hundred million dollars. Um, so That that's how that could work with Derek Henry And again, like we always say if you really want something if you really want to make something happen You will find ways to make it work. Oh, I should have kept reading the article continues to say A team trading for the former Heisman trophy winner would have to take on between 6.5 to 7 million remaining money on his deal That's an incredibly steep price tag halfway through the season for an almost 30 year old running back on an expiring contract Now with that A lot of times teams will trade for players And if that player is in their long-term plans, then they will give that player a contract extension now I do not think that if the Baltimore Ravens traded for Derek Henry I don't think they would be looking to get him a contract extension, especially right away I think it would definitely be a wait and see approach and I don't even think if if they traded for him Uh, depending on the compensation at least But I don't think if they traded for him that a contract extension would be on the top of their list Of priorities. Um, so that's something to keep in mind as well Ravens have a lot of other areas and a lot of other players That I think they will want to focus on first when it came to contract extensions Right now number one for them. I think being Justin Mata BK And number one B. It's like a one a one B type of thing. I think would be Patrick queen Um, and then even though I don't think it's gonna happen I'm sure they would think about and maybe even talk to Geno stone just to see Just to put out some feelers on what they could work out if they could work out anything But I think geno stone. I think both ways like they pay them out. They pay market swings all that money So that's one of the reasons why I don't think they're gonna sign resign geno stone They draft a cow hampton. That's another reason. I don't think they're gonna resign geno stone And geno stone Why would he want to come back to the Baltimore Ravens to be a backup? Because remember the only reason he's getting this opportunity right now is because Marcus Williams is hurt So Ravens current starter is hurt So I don't think geno stone is going to be like, oh, you know what I want to come back And I want to be a backup for the Baltimore Ravens. No Even if the money is solid, I think he can get more money elsewhere But more importantly more opportunity elsewhere But the Baltimore Ravens got a lot of other things that they need to worry about before they worry about the running back position Especially why receiver too because that could change a lot old Dale Beckham, Jr. He's on a one-year deal even though he has four void years on the back of it Rashad Bateman, are they gonna pick up his fifth year option or not after this year? Nelson Aguilar He's on a one-year deal So the wide receiver room Devin Duvenay is in the last year of his deal The wide receiver room is going to look a lot different next year Then it looks right now. So that's also something to keep in mind So with Derek, if they were to acquire Derek Henry, I do not foresee them giving him a contract extension right away So I think he would be the ultimate Second half of the season rental, but again, that's just my opinion. I don't know anything. I don't know anybody I'm an NFL outsider No plugs. No sources. No connects But anyway, uh with Derek Henry, he he would be a nice piece So but that that would be something that I will keep in mind I will keep on the lookout for uh, if the Ravens could be interested in somebody else Because while the Baltimore Ravens, it says that they are the team that's been most interested in Derek Henry If there's a most if that word most is used then that means they are not the only So there's some other people out there some other people with some possible better situations for the Titans Maybe a better draft pick. Maybe what would be a higher draft pick? What what would be even more possible trade compensation? Maybe even more draft capital that the Titans could get for Derek Henry from somebody else So that's something to keep in mind as well. But this is a nice start This is what we like to hear and this is what we like to see something that a lot of y'all like to see Have been these jackets these varsity jackets that we've been wearing and I I love that y'all love it because I love them too Now if you want to get your own varsity jacket, uh, you can go to stand with us clothing dot com Because they got they got them in this purple and black just the ravens purple and black They got them in gray and black.
