 Okay, EDC, you put your money where your mouth is. Team keeping clean. What's going on is engraving here with another video. And in this video, Gus Edwards. Hey, EDC said it yesterday. He said Gus is going to be a member of this team one way or another. He didn't just give one definitive answers. He gave several. He gave several. So, and now he's backed up his claim. He's backed up his claim. Well, so far because it is still possible that Gus plays elsewhere. I don't see it happening, but it is still a possibility. But we'll talk about that in a bit. But EDC yesterday in the press conference, he made it clear that Gus Edwards is in the Ravens plans for the immediate future. Now there was some other players where he said we expect them to be back. But that's why that wording is very important. Very important to listen to. It's not always what somebody says enough times it is, but it's how they say it. But in this case, it was a little bit of both. But anyway, Gus Edwards. The Ravens place a second round tender on restricted free agent, Gus Edwards. And I know a lot of people have been asking, what does that mean? What does that mean for his future? What does that mean for the team? What does that mean for the Ravens? Well, we're gonna explain that. But Gus Edwards, this comes as no surprise that the Ravens issued him a tender. No surprise, no shock or anything like that. Because what we've been saying all throughout this past season is that this was an expectation. This was an expectation that the Ravens issued Gus Edwards a tender. And they keep him on the team another year and for as cheap as they possibly can. Because, hey, that's part of the business. And it's a nasty part of the business because these guys, they put their bodies out there. They put in all this work, all this hustling, whatnot and all this production. And these teams are like, hey, we don't really wanna pay yet. We wanna try to do some other things, pay some other guys and, but that's part of the business. So it is what it is. That's why you can't be mad when these players try to get their bread, when they hold out, when they ask for trade, when they ask for this and that. Anyway, so Gus Edwards, second round tender. What does that mean for the Ravens? Well, the Ravens value Gus Edwards enough to where they issued a second round tender on him. And once Gus Edwards, once he signs that tender, then all 31 other NFL teams, they have an option to sign Gus Edwards to an offer sheet. Then just, I'm just using these teams as examples. Not anything, no rumors, anything like that. These are just examples. You know what? I'll just use team A and team B as examples because I don't want anybody to start anything below. Oh, and Raven said that 15, no. Anyway, team A, the Ravens, they signed Gus Edwards to the tender. He signs a tender with them for the second round. So team B, they like Gus Edwards. So they're like, you know what? Let's sign him to an offer sheet. And that offer sheet, we're gonna sign him, let's say a three year deal worth 21 a meal. So seven meal per. So the once, if he signed that offer sheet, he's like, oh, okay, this is nice. Oh, I like it. So he signed that offer sheet with team B, then the Ravens would have seven days to match that offer. Seven days. You can't go lower. You have seven days to match that offer. If you don't match it, Gus Edwards, he goes to team B. He goes to team B. But the Ravens don't, they don't lose everything. They do lose Gus Edwards, which would be big. But remember the tender that they placed on Gus Edwards, the second round tender? Well, they will get a second round pick from team B. That's what would happen. So again, with the dates, I gotta get an update on when those dates are that that can go down, but it's gonna be a seven day window, or is it a three day window? I forget what it is, but I believe it's a seven day window for the restrictive free agent tender and for the team B to offer Gus Edwards to sign him to an offer sheet on a deal that hopefully he can refuse and hopefully the team can refuse because that would be very unfortunate if Gus Edwards left to go play elsewhere. That would be no fun. No fun. But Gus Edwards, he wasn't the only player that got a restrictive free agent tender. The Ravens, they also, Tristan Colón Castillo, they placed a low round tender on him. And also, and of course, we know he started at Center for the Ravens a couple of games and he was somebody that, I think he'll be in the mix, he'll be in the competition for the center position this year, but I think the Ravens are gonna go with somebody different. They probably will end up going with a veteran, because they're probably gonna want somebody that's ready right here right now, or if they go via the draft, then they go with a true center, not somebody that plays center, play guard, play, no, a true center. But that's a whole another conversation for a whole another day. And also Christian Welch, you know about Christian Welch, fast linebacker, he got some boom to him too. He hit, but he was primarily a special teamer. The Ravens also placed a restrictive free agent tender on him. So that's what's up with those guys and we'll see what happens. But Gus, hey, Raven, you better get something done. You guys to get something done, man, because Gus Edwards, man, ever since he came on the league, in the league, ever since he came on board with the Ravens, man, he's been doing nothing but putting in work, man. And there's a lot of guys, Gus Edwards is a, I was just talking to one of my guys about this, my guy Jason, I was talking to him about it the other day. And I was like, man, Gus Edwards, he is just a perfect fit for the Ravens because he shows up, he does his job, he does a very good job at his job. He don't talk, you, if I heard Gus Edwards talking, I wouldn't even know that it was him talking. Cause you never hear him running his mouth. You never hear him chirping back and forth with anybody. No, you never hear that. He just shows up, does his job, run a couple people over, score a touchdown or two, go home, boom, done. And he does a very, very, very good job at it. So keeping Gus Edwards is a no-brainer. Having him and J.K. on the same team at the same time is a no-brainer. And what I think they'll do, I think they'll end up giving Gus Edwards a three-year deal to where Gus Edwards deal goes alongside J.K. Dobbins deal. And they can run it up together because you have two starters. You have two starters. And yes, even though J.K. Dobbins was a rookie last year, we saw that he was more than ready to start. Now he got to work on them playoff hands and him cold weather hands. I'm not sure what was happening toward the end of the season with his hands, but hey, he'll get it together. Gus Edwards, certainly, he worked on his hands. We saw him catching everything thrown his way. So that's what Gus Edwards, his value to this team, it's up, man, it's up. And he's showing you, hey, I can do that. I can do that. Always bring up the story when Raven signed Mark Ingram. I was cool with it, but I wasn't like, oh, yeah, let's go. I was like, well, why? Well, Gus Edwards, you got him. He can do all that stuff. But it seems as if Mark Ingram, he definitely helped Gus Edwards out a lot and really transformed, not transformed, but evolved Gus Edwards' game and helped Gus Edwards take his game to another level. And it's paid dividends for Gus Edwards. And when he really gets that money, I mean, this'll be a nice raise. This'll be a nice raise for Gus Edwards. But when he really, really gets that money, you know, he gonna send Mark Ingram a text like, hey, I finally got it, man. I finally did it. Finally got the contract. Whether that be from the Ravens or from somebody else. But this is the first move of a sort of a stepping stone move to hopefully get the Ravens to sign him to a long-term deal. Hopefully this will be like a, this is sort of like a baby franchise tag. A baby franchise transition tag. So hopefully Gus doesn't end up going anywhere, but you never know till you know. Anyway, team, keep it clean. I love y'all. Make sure you check out the most recent episode, the newest episode of the podcast that just dropped today. Just came out today. So, hey, have a listen.
