 No, us as Ravens fans, we used to the Ravens being broke. We used to these boys not having no kind of money and no funds, but it's usually for a good reason because they usually spend two or around the cap. And what I mean when I say that, they spend the funds that they have allocated on players, on signings, on extensions, on contracts. So they spend the money. It's not like they're broke for nothing. No, they're broke because they go out. And by then, especially last year, like last year was my favorite year with EDC as a GM because last year, he got aggressive with it. He made a lot of deals happen. And he even went to the void and void years is something that was, you couldn't even speak about that as a Ravens fan. So I was happy to see EDC really incorporate that. And he built this team good enough to win it all. He did a phenomenal job last year. And I loved it. So again, EDC, great job last year. Shout out to you with how you did where I see what should happen earlier. But it is what it is. But last year, the team was good enough to win a Super Bowl. But yeah, you know the rest of the story. So this year, the Baltimore Ravens, it's another offseason where they find themselves a little strapped for cash. But the salary cap, it jumped up to what, 255.4 mil. So I think it increased like about 30 mil. But how much it increased, it increased by a lot. Cause you know, in the field, they've made that money. So when they make that money, they're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, look at y'all more salary caps. Thanks Taylor Swift. Anyway, the Baltimore Ravens, they have some decisions to make. But one of the biggest decisions that they have to make that is being talked about and should be being talked about because it is a big decision to make is Justin Madder BK. And with Justin Madder BK, he is going to be a very expensive player no matter how you slice it. Because it's been a lot of talk about, oh, all the Ravens are gonna, what are they gonna do with Justin Madder BK? They're gonna sign into a long-term extension. Are they gonna franchise tag him? Are they gonna let him walk? What's gonna go down with Madder Beaks? Well, we gonna talk about that in just a minute. But before you do, make sure you subscribe to the channel, turn your notifications on. We almost at 74K. We getting there slowly, slowly, super slowly. But it's okay, slow growth better than no growth. But make sure you subscribe to the channel, turn your notifications on and leave a like on the video. So with Justin Madder BK, it will cost the Baltimore Ravens 22.102 million. So about 22.1 million if they just wanna apply to franchise tag. And you know what the franchise tag, like there's no, we'll put some of that 22 mil here, we'll put some of this. No, that's all on the cap now. You cannot maneuver that. You cannot change that. No, that's all on the cap now. And for a team that has limited resources, of course you can create more resources. You can do restructuring and all that. You know, Ravens are gonna be doing some restructuring very soon because they do it every year. It happens all the time. But that's a lot of money for Mr. Madder Beaks. Now they could also sign him to a contract extension. If you sign him to a contract, well, not a contract extension because he ain't got no contract no more. He's getting ready to be a free agent. But if you sign him to a contract, then that allows you to manipulate that money a lot more. So that gives you a lot more flexibility. And of course, like with him being such a good player, especially last year, that's what you wanna do. Because you cannot be cheap with talent. If you want the best of the best, you got to pay that bread. But see, this is where it gets tricky because not necessarily for Justin Madder BK, but just for NFL teams in general because a lot of teams have a lot of great players and you can't keep everybody. A lot of teams have a lot of good players. Like everybody in the NFL is a phenomenal player because they're in the NFL and they're there for a reason. They are the top 1% in the world because not a lot of people make it. There's so many people that put in all this training. They go to extra, all these extra classes and courses and sign up for all this stuff throughout the entire lives to try to make it to the NFL. And a lot of them don't because it's hard, it's tough. So for the ones that do make it, yeah, they are something serious. And a lot of it's right place, right time, right circumstances, who you know. But anyway, you got to pay for talent, but you can't keep all your talent. Because again, we remember the Baltimore Ravens after the first Super Bowl, they were like, all right, we wanna run it back. We get it. We wanna try to keep everybody. All right, cool. And that messed them up for years because they retained a lot of their guys but messed them up salary cap wise for years. So they have certainly learned a lesson. And we see that every year, we see it where teams will be assembled nice. It's like, ooh, they got a roster. But then the following year, it's like, ooh, where'd that guy go? Oh, where'd that guy go? Oh, cause you can't keep everybody. But with just a matter of being gay, I think we all expect the Baltimore Ravens to retain him because it's essential that that is something that they definitely need to make sure they get done. Because just a matter of being gay, just wanted to play. Now he gonna be expensive. Again, either way, whether it's franchise tag or contract or franchise tag, then contract extension, he is going to be a lot of money. And with him, like, he ain't gotta settle. He ain't gotta settle for nothing. And see, it takes us back to before this offseason or last offseason, cause Ravens tried to get this thing done. They knew, they knew, they smart. They tried to get the deal done with him before the season even started. Cause they knew, they knew what they had, but he didn't agree to no deal. And he had a wonderful season and his price skyrocketed. Skyrocketed, went through the roof. And see with the Baltimore Ravens, they gotta be real careful with Justin Matta BK because you cannot, even though it was super weird, you can't play the Lamar Jackson game that you played with Justin Matta BK with the non-exclusive tag or the transition tag, whatever. I think of non-exclusive tag, to where it allows other teams to negotiate with that player. Again, Lamar is very weird how that whole thing was. I know there's some stuff going on in the background. But anyway, with Matta BK, you mess around and you do that to him with the transition tag that I think the transition tag is where teams can sign him to an offseason. If they agree to a deal with him and you get two first round picks, there's that, but then the non-exclusive tag is where teams can sign him to an off a sheet. And I don't think you would get anything though, would you? No, I don't think you would get anything. But either way, you can't play those games because if you do that, you might as well say, hey Justin, thanks for the last four years, but we'll enjoy you, buddy. But yeah, man, Ravens got, and see what makes it not necessarily trickier, but I mean a little bit. You know the Ravens want to keep Patrick Queen. Are they going to? I doubt it, but you know they want to. They would love for Patrick Queen to stay. So with Ravens, you think obviously Justin Matta BK, he would be the number one priority, or should be the number one priority because interior defensive linemen that create pressure and make plays and are productive, they are not easy to come by. They don't just grow on trees, especially for the Baltimore Ravens. They've had, it's been a long time since they've had an interior defensive tackle that has been productive and disruptive like that. Because they tried with Timmy Jernigan, even though I felt like they should have gave him more of an opportunity because I thought he was going to be really good. They tried with Brandon Williams, and he was just a run stuffer, but he didn't provide any pressure. With Michael Pierce, they tried with him, but then he ended up going off to Minnesota, but then he came back and I was like, okay Michael Pierce, let's go, maybe then he's still with us now. But they haven't had that consistent guy since Lody Nutter, and Lody Nutter was from ages ago. So with Justin Maddabike, this is something that definitely we want to all see get done because it is of the essence. Justin Maddabike has to be a Baltimore Raven. If he's not, I don't even want to think about it.
