2018 Free Agency

[RavensMania]

Hahaha he did. I do realize I monologued. On another note, I do agree that Ebron has not lived up to his potential, but the Baltimore Ravens with Ebron are a better team than without him in my opinion.

I would be ok with Ebron if it didn't stop us from attempting to draft one and if it was a good deal for the team.

I think if we don't draft a TE in the first three rounds this year, with talent there, with or without Ebron then someone is smoking something. If a Mark Andrews or Mike Gesicki is there and we pass then I will be dumbfounded. Def do not think we pick one in the first but we should absolutely come away with a TE in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Ya or Ian Thomas. Id be happy with any of the top TEs tbh cause they all bring something in the passing game. Gesicki is my #1 though

It's why I believe we will be drafting BOPA on day 1 and 2, unless we trade back and aquire an additional pick on day two.

Im hoping Mike Pouncey leaves the Chargers and we make a run at him and secure our Center position. Read the only reason Miami cut him is they were able to sign 2 players at the cost of what they were payinv him.

Interesting. I had heard he had asked for his release because he wanted an increase

I mean he was always on the chopping block. He had minimal dead cap and they desperately need space.

Either way he was going to be cut.

I honestly think when healthy our group of TE will be fine

when is the key word. We no longer have Gilmore or Watson.

I'm not too sure about that. Neither Maxx nor Boyle has the speed to truly stretch a defense over the middle. Besides, they're only good for a couple of catches every now and then.

Report: Free Agent TE Eric Ebron is visiting with the #Patriots.

Counted 9 contracts that were UFAs that had higher figures than Jensen, took one away from Vikings since they signed Cousins. Will go through and get a look at potential comp pick here in a bit but I'd expect at least 4th rounder for Jensen next year

EDIT: Missed Trumaine Johnson so 10 total

The number of contracts doesn’t matter - the salary cutoff is virtually the only thing that matters - I think I worked out that the cutoff is gonna be somewhere between 10.5 and 12.5 (most likely) - so looking at Jensen’s contract I think this is gonna only be a 4th rounder - but I don’t think it has anything to do with the number of players ahead of him given contracts - last year 11 3rd round comp picks were handed out

The proviso is that the formula the nfl uses isn’t just based on contract and includes performance statistics I think too so maybe there’s a possibility of that 4th becoming a 3rd but his contract is I reckon gonna end up being about 500k/year too small for a 3

Hopefully he leaves without a deal

Pats acquire Raiders WR/KR Cordarrelle Patterson and a 2018 6th round pick in exchange for a 2018 5th round pick.

They picked up lot of underperforming high draft picks.

Just say no to Ebron.

Yup. Gesicki has become my clear number 1 in the second for us
