 Y'all remember last year when it seemed like the Ravens really wanted to take chips down Emory Lane and have sort of a welcome back party for several different players who used to play for the Ravens and they wanted to bring them back. Guys like Michael Pierce, guys like Tony Jefferson, guys like, guys like Zadaria Smith, he ain't ever quite making back, but now he's right up the road in the AFC North playing for the Cleveland Browns. But it seems like the Ravens are doing that yet again, but this time at the quarterback position because the Ravens have signed again, quarterback Josh Johnson and let's read the report from Adam Schefter because for Josh Johnson, he's different and I love it. I respect it. I mean, he was just playing in the NFC championship game last year, but with Josh Johnson, people will look at his career and a lot of people will laugh at it, but he could look at his career and say, Hey, I'm still playing. I'm still getting signed. I'm still here. I'm still getting the check cut the check NFL because he doesn't play for like have the teams in the league pretty much, but he's still around so you can't hate on that at all. All right. The report says free agent quarterback Josh Johnson, who has played for a record 14 NFL teams. That's a lot is returning to the Ravens for the third time in his NFL career. So it's a welcome back party for Josh Johnson, man. The third time, first, it was so nice. He had to come back twice, but now the third time to charm city anyway, uh, first source, Johnson was with the Ravens in 2016, 2021, and now we'll be back again in 2023. So there you go. He's back. Welcome back again, Josh Johnson. Welcome a familiar face again, Josh Johnson. He know the coaches and whatnot. He know a lot of the staff. Some people change now. Some of the staff doesn't change, but I'm sure he'll fit right in. He's very familiar, but now it brings me to where we got to think about some stuff. Like, wait a minute. This is the time when, or actually for any sign, well, a lot of signings, they mean something, but specifically this signing, what could this signing mean? Because this is not them signing a running back, a wide receiver, tight end, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebacker, cornerback, safety, pass rush, none of that stuff. This is them making a signing at the quarterback position. And if I recall, the Ravens signed two quarterbacks this off-season already. Now they're signing a third. Because they signed Tyler Huntley. Well, Tyler Huntley signed his restricted free agent, Tinder. They already had Anthony Brown, so they didn't need to re-sign him, but they signed Lamar Jackson. That was kind of a big deal. I'm so happy that he's back. And now they're signing Josh Johnson. Normally, I would think like, man, what does this mean? Are they trying to get ready to have, to feelings for somebody? Because they got their guys already, but maybe they just wanted one more quarterback for camp. So they can really take as much off of Lamar Jackson's plate as possible. Or I wonder if it'll mean that Lamar Jackson, he'll be there, but he won't really be doing too much early on. And I mean, really, you don't want him to be doing too much throughout. That is your quarterback. That is your guy. So you want to ramp things up gradually, but you don't want him to be at the OTAs and whatnot and then the camps and all that. Of course, you want him to be there. But early on, like around now, you don't want him to be going too hard. Because you don't want to wear his arm out. So it feels like this is probably just sort of a reliever for Lamar Jackson. I don't watch baseball, but I believe the term is what? Relief picture. So a guy can come in and relieve the previous picture of his duties. I believe. Don't call me on there. There ain't no baseball guy. None. I know a lot of like Ravens fans been hyped for the Orioles right now. They like, yeah, they doing good. Hey, I mean, I'm happy for y'all. But, you know, I don't care nothing about baseball, man. So I do love seeing y'all's happiness on my timeline and all that. Everybody getting all hyped and whatnot. Everybody at Camden, y'all is going to the games and stuff. Oh, yeah. I'm like, OK, I see y'all. Enjoy it. Enjoy it for me, because I'm just getting baseball. It ain't been my thing. But I have been happy and happily surprised, too, about the Miami Heat because especially them going into barely getting into the playoffs, like not even like technically getting into the playoffs, having to play into the playoffs, being a super low seed, a seed. Shout out to number eight. Hey, maybe that could be a sign for like number eight in the NFL. Anyway, and then like first, I thought, all right, against the Bucks. I remember I talked my trash to one of my boys who's a Bucks fan. Not really thinking that that he was going to beat the Bucks, but they beat the Bucks. They beat them. Oh, OK. The Knicks, I'm like, whatever happened with the Knicks. Like, they probably beat the Knicks, because I really wasn't worried about that one. But then it's like, oh, they about to play the Celtics. Well, it was fun. It was fun while it lasted. And now they are just beating the mess out of this, especially last night, like beating the mess out of them. There were some times when it was still relatively close. Well, a close game for last night. It was like an eight point game. I'm thinking, OK, well, he they got to stay on point. But Celtics, probably they probably going to come back. No, he like blew them out of the water from start to finish. They were literally so consistent last night with the offense, with the defense, everything, hitting all these threes, driving to the plate. Oh, man, they were going off. But anyway, let's get back to the subject at hand with Josh Johnson. Um, initially, I was a bit worried about what this signing could mean. Doesn't mean that somebody's not going to be there. Doesn't mean that they may cut somebody, something like that. But then when I thought about it, I'm like, no, it's just probably to have more arms at camp. So really, everybody, not even just Lamar, mainly Lamar. So he don't get overworked. But really to sort of balance everything out that much more for everybody else. Because think about it. If you got, say, you got a trash bag full of bricks, you got a bag full of bricks. It's heavy. If one person tried to lift it up, it's going to be like, man, I might be able to do this, but this, this is really, really heavy. This is going to put a strain on my back, I'm going to be hurting. But then if you got a partner, two people, if two people lifted, it makes the load that much lighter. But then if a third person comes and help, oh, man, yeah, let's go. Hey, yeah, come help us. But then if a fourth person, I'm over here, sound like a baby. But if a fourth person comes and helps you lift that bag of bricks, it makes it that much lighter for everybody. It makes everybody's job easier. It takes the stress, the strain off of everybody's body that much more. So that's what this is. And of course, I know over the weekend, I think it was on Saturday. I want to say it was on Saturday or Sunday. I know Sarah Ellison, shout out to Sarah Ellison. We got to have her on. We got to have both of them on, actually. But Sarah Ellison reported that her and Bobby, they talked to a source, a reputable source for these Baltimore Ravens. And that reputable source, say Lamar Jackson, we'll be there at OTAs. So that's a good thing. Had that not been reported, then that would have made me wonder if that was the case. Still seeing this believing Lamar got to still show up, but I would expect him to be there. So we'll see. Love y'all, Team Keep It Clean. Appreciate y'all, Team Keep It Clean. And like Josh Johnson told the Ravens, he said a couple of years ago, back in 2021, he said, it's only temporary. It's only going to be for just a little bit that I'm out. Get it? Because he's back, man, with the Ravens again in 2023. All right, y'all, I love y'all.
