 Remember years ago long time ago. I had worked at this job and there was a bonus that we could get So I worked hard for that bonus and I reached the goals to get that bonus and I earned that bonus But when I looked at my paycheck, it wasn't there It wasn't there for days then it wasn't there for weeks then it wasn't there for months So I brought it up to my manager and I was like hey I didn't get the bonus and they were like well Did you do everything that I said yeah And then they went over my numbers and everything and they saw that I had did everything and more to earn that Bonus so they were like oh, that's a big mistake on our part. Let's fix it So what they gave me was retroactive pay or back pay so Moving forward when I would get paid from this point forward I would get paid extra until I got everything that I missed everything that I didn't get paid for before with the Baltimore Ravens yesterday it seemed like they got some back pay or some retroactive pay because They went with Odell Beckham, Jr. They signed him a long time ago months ago It felt like Odell Beckham, Jr. Been a Baltimore Raven for forever the way that he's embraced the fans the city Just everything that he's been doing that's involved the Baltimore Ravens like oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's one of us and sometimes it's still hard to believe but then yesterday Yesterday when it came out that the Tennessee Titans they were the ones that were signing the Andre Hopkins It was like oh, okay, we got that back paid We got that back paid Because we didn't realize that we were gonna get that back paid But yesterday made it like oh, okay, there we go because if I take you back to this report that came out On May 27th of this year. It says it's from Albert Brie I said more on DeAndre Hopkins the chiefs and bills were the only teams to have Substantive trade talks with Arizona So the chiefs and bills were talking to Arizona about trying to get DeAndre Hopkins Those are one of the teams that always thought DeAndre Hopkins was gonna go to because those are two teams that are always in the mix If somebody comes available and somebody good comes available Those two teams are always in the mix trying to make their teams a lot better even though they have really good teams already They always trying to take the next step to make them even better Anyway, he said also said as was the case with Kansas City Contract was the issue for Buffalo So both teams were talking to DeAndre Hopkins, but the contract would that that's where the holdup was but then this part KC may progress or the chiefs. Hey, they were like I DeAndre. Okay. We're talking about this. We're talking about that Let's talk some numbers. Okay. We like that. Let's talk some years. Okay, like this. Okay. Oh good. Nice But it says KC may progress, but Odell Beckham, Jr.'s deal the 15 million dollar base More or less blew that progress up Hey, so the Ravens they won They wanted this because yes, no, no, let's continue first before you get into it And then he also said as for where this goes next again, this was from May 27 So a while back but as for where this goes next I say the price will dictate that under current circumstances Unlikely KC a Buffalo go get them they unlikely they get the Andre Hopkins if his price drops Both teams offered incentive heavy deals than maybe so the bills and the chiefs they offered DeAndre Hopkins deals But they were incentive heavy So what that means is that it's a low base salary so low base salary But if you reach these numbers if you reach these goals, then you reach these incentives Then you're gonna get you're gonna get that money back But see that's what Odell Beckham, Jr.'s deal is the exact opposite Odell Beckham, Jr. Has an 18 million dollar deal That's the max that his deal can be for this year 18 million dollars But the base is 15 mil so even if he does not hit the incentives, which I think are actually very easy for him to hit But I do think I think Rashad Bateman is gonna lead this year and receiving yards But again, we'll talk about that later But as long as he says healthy obviously, I hope everybody says but again another conversation for another time We're talking about that right now, but with Odell Beckham, Jr One meal well one meal cuz he got four four years on the back of his deal But one year deal worth up to 18 million dollars, but the base is 15 mil the incentives are only three mil But this sounds like it will be something that will sort of kind of be the opposite Where it could be just to use the 18 mil as an example, but it would probably be flipped It could be up to 18 million dollars But the base might be three mil and the incentives could be 15 mil because I said it's incentive It was incentive heavy Both from the bills and the chiefs, but again the Ravens they messed everything up for both of those teams But anyway continuing he says if his price drops both teams offer incentive heavy deals Then maybe both Casey and Buffalo talk directly to Hopkins and they liked him so Obviously he did not go to Buffalo. Obviously he did not go to Kansas City chiefs Even though that was the thought that those are two places that he was highly likely to go I again, that's what I thought that it was gonna happen with the Andre Hopkins But nope because of the Ravens and their overpay for Odell Beckham, Jr. Yeah, we said this from John they overpaid for Odell Beckham, Jr. But they had to do that they had to overpay for Odell Beckham, Jr. So I mean was it really an overpay? Well, yes, it is but they they had to because think about this your franchise quarterback well who it was looking kind of shaky if he was gonna be a franchise quarterback or not because Y'all ain't had no deal Y'all had franchise tag but he ain't signed no franchise tag that that franchise tag was just sitting out there floating around and Lamar looking at that thing Ravens are looking at that thing. It was like, okay. Who's gonna make that first move? but they talk they continue to talk and Lamar asked him about the Andre Hopkins and Odell Beckham, Jr. Now Odell Beckham, Jr. was also being sought after from the New York Jets and he was actually going to go visit with the Jets So then that pressure was on the Ravens Ravens being known as a place where receivers careers go to die Ravens being known as a place as a receiver grave y'all Ravens being known as a place where Receivers just it ain't looking good if you go there Even though we in recent years obviously with Hollywood Brown that tune has started to change We were shall Bateman that tune is still changing So we're gonna see but it wasn't looking good and in the way that what the Ravens were known for as far as wide receivers It was not pretty so with them having Aaron Rodgers and They're being so much uncertainty with you at your quarterback position Ravens had to overpay They had to overpay for to get a Odell Beckham, Jr. That was the only way Because if he would have went to New York even though they did have quite a few receivers over there had he went to New York He could have been in tight. Oh, I get to play with a rock. Oh, I get to play in New York again. The bright lights. Oh A big market city. Oh I'm all there back from junior. I'm already super popular. I'm already a superstar But I get to go back to New York. They get so much coverage on it. Oh Oh, I'ma love it But the Ravens that hold up, you know what? Another thing that's against us. We not known to pay why receivers. That's just not what we do They did it They had to step way outside of their comfort zone. They had to step way outside of the box To make this happen and they did just that but now Just yesterday they're getting back pay from this They're getting that retroactive pay because the chiefs they wanted the Andre It was even said a couple of days ago that the Andre Hopkins was waiting for the chiefs He was waiting for them to open up some money for him But the she said we we can't do it my friend We can't do it. So he was waiting. So you like man take what Patriots what cheese, please? Please come on y'all. Let's go But they just couldn't do it They couldn't do it They could not do it and The Andre Hopkins obviously, I mean I can't even say there's a room or anything because we saw the deal that he took But he was not about to settle for no incentive-based deal or anything like that No, he didn't he didn't he followed the money He got his bread. He got a significant amount of money at this point in free agency now I was just talking to my guy JT yesterday and And With Odell Beckham he got he got paid more than the Andre Hopkins and that's crazy like Odell Beckham He didn't even play last year. He didn't play last year He got paid more than the Andre Hopkins But we always talk about on here timing is everything. It's everything It's everything So the timing that Odell Beckham, Juni and his market was that if the Andre Hopkins had got released back then Oh, yeah, the Andre Hopkins would have got some more bread but He was released so late and that was that So, yeah, man at the Cardinals, uh, they I mean, it's a nasty business, man It's a nasty business and they try to trade him but trade talks I guess fell apart and then boom They were like, you know what? Goodbye. You can go So it is what it is But I remember just looking through the comments in yesterday's video with the Titan signed the Andre Hopkins So many Ravens fans say the exact same thing at least he didn't go to the chiefs at least he didn't go to the bills of chiefs At least he didn't go to Casey or Buffalo. I Saw that so many I said, oh, that's some prime hating right there, baby But um, yeah, they like at least he ain't go there They're like, we ain't get him, but at least he ain't go there, buddy. So Hey, I see you man, but yeah So there's this this O'Dell Beckham junior deal was so Significant in so many ways. Obviously you get a really good receiver if he's healthy Hopefully he remains healthy this entire year Hopefully the all Ravens stay healthy this entire year, but you get a really good receiver You get a playmaking receiver You get a receiver that's played literally in every single type of game you get somebody who's been one of the best receivers in The game and hopefully he can continue that You get somebody who's like that, but also you get somebody who helps you secure your franchise quarterback as well He played a huge part in that but then even beyond that now you keep him away. You keep the Andre Hopkins away from the chiefs in the bills two teams that You're gonna have to run into if you're gonna make it to where you want to go you are going to have to go through those teams and Those teams know how to give you some trouble. I mean, they know how to give the NFL some trouble but You prevented them from getting better now You don't avoid the Andre Hopkins in the process because you still got to go overseas to go play him but You avoid him going to those guys so Ravens they ended up winning when They weren't even in the battle But anyway, tell you keep it clean.
