 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's a engraving here with another video and the Ravens have another opt-out Andre Smith the veteran left tackle backup tackle He has decided to opt out of this season and This this is a very interesting one Because I did find out more information on the whole opt-out process now If you either get 150,000 in advance on your 2021 salary Or if you're high risk, then you can get 350k But if you're high risk, that's not an advance. So then you You ain't got to pay that back But the 150k if you're not high risk, then you have to pay that back But um anyway With Andre Smith with him opting out and y'all don't have to say the whole thing. Oh, well, he wasn't gonna make the roster anyway Because it's deeper than that again like we talked about in other opt-out videos You got to respect these players decisions to do this my guide Dwayne. He asked the question in the comment section He was like, how would y'all feel if Lamar Jackson opted out and I responded to him I said, well, it would be disappointing as a fan because we excited to see Lamar Jackson excited to see his progress Excited to see his growth, but at the same time, we would have to respect it as a man You would have to respect it a woman as a person as a human being You would have to respect it because if he chooses if he feels like hey, you know what? I'm not I don't want to take this risk. I don't want to take the risk What can you do? Of course, there's gonna be feelings involved feelings from fans cuz like oh man But you you got to respect it and that's what any player starter back up that guy rookie veteran whatever We got to respect these people's decisions Have to and what Andre Smith it is no different now the thing with Andre Smith is that with his um with him Leaving with him opting out of this season this creates a sort of hole that the Ravens I don't think they may have thought about before or us as fans may not have thought about it before because of course the Ravens You know, they think all this stuff do they got plan a pain plan B plan C plan D They got all that well except when it comes to the playoffs. They only got a plan B anyway But with the roster, you know, they got something in in the works already But they don't have a veteran backup tackle They don't all of the tackles everybody left now is just super young guys rookies They don't have depth there they of course got Stanley and Brown But you you want some depth there and then they got the guys that they drafted So now we should expect the Ravens to make a move to bring somebody on We should expect the Ravens to make a move to sign a veteran backup tackle And regardless if it's somebody that you think is going to make the team a knot The Ravens they they they're still gonna bring somebody on because with Andre Smith with him opting out that actually puts the Ravens at 80 80 people on the roster. So they would have to make two moves in order to get down to 80 because If they they sign somebody which is the expectation if they sign somebody to replace Andre Smith They sign a veteran to replace Andre Smith Then they would be at 81 so then they would have to make another move and get rid of somebody who was not on the roster Because I know there was a lot of confusion yesterday. Even my myself was at one time confused with everything going on yesterday But yesterday they got to 80 they got to 81 They got to 81 they did not get to 80 yesterday Because I know initially they sent out a tweet the Ravens official account It sent out a tweet where there was a receiver who was on there who they said was cut but it was a mistake So they deleted that tweet and sent out another one that didn't include the receiver's name So they had made six moves yesterday instead of seven So that's why I say they had 81 now and then with Andre Smith opting out that puts them at 80 But with the expectation that they're gonna bring somebody back to replace Andre Smith that would place them at 81 So I would expect another move that would put them back at 80 with somebody being released or placed on The non-football injury. We'll see what happens But these players they they got decisions to make of course we talked about earlier today How the Patriots the Patriots they Marcus Cannon last night he opted out and now this morning Patriots linebacker Dante high tower opted out Bears defensive linemen Eddie Goldman he opted out. It's gonna be a lot more of course chiefs He was the first one chiefs guard Lauren DuVernay taught if he opted out It's gonna be more it's gonna be it's gonna continue to be more the numbers are going to continue to rise for people who opt out I mean, they can't go down. So I mean, they're not gonna Yeah, they ain't got no they can't it's impossible for the numbers to go down for people opting out but People they're gonna keep doing it. It's gonna be more and more and the longer that and I think again I said this in a video. I'm not 1000% sure But I believe the deadline to opt out is like August 16th or something like that. I forgot what when it is but It's gonna be more as the time goes on. You're gonna see more and more notable names that end up opting out More and more notable names and for the Ravens. I mean so far there have been two significant names that have opted out and I know like I know some of y'all probably think oh significant these guys probably won't gonna make the roster anyway But they are still significant names the Anthony Thomas Raven Raven starting returner last year starting return that they're returner last year During the regular season before the time that he was on the team He opted out Then Andre Smith. He was a former first-round pick from the Bengals But he was just a backup guy last year. They signed them late in the season I think they sounded like right before playoff started I That didn't last long but they signed them right before playoff started and then they end up bringing them back They signed them back again Just to have that veteran presence there, but now with him opting out. It's like, oh, okay. Well Either go young, but yeah, they like I said, they probably gonna bring somebody back So, I mean we'll see what happens and then Oh Seahawks their guard chance a warm up. He opted out, too He opted out, too So and I know there's been some names that I missed but those the ones that we talked about those have been the most Notable names so far. Those have been the the most known names So far and again, that's no offense to anybody. That's a backup anything or a depth guy or rookie anything like that but That's what it is right now, man so This is this is definitely not ever not gonna be interesting Because this is just it's different it is very different very different We of course heard that Todd Gurley was thinking about often now. He was thinking about it So, I mean, we'll see what happens with that But I I don't know. I mean let's see So anyway team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all.
