Expand Or one of our 5ths....both are higher than Baltimore's. I'm assuming Beane inquired about it, maybe didn't want to give an extension to a 33 year old, idk

First Round Bust Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 ravens have 19M in cap space and have to allocates 7.6M for draft space; calais is 34 and his salary is 15M so an extension will be needed to drive that down but he made the pro bowl; Judon franchise tag costs 16M; so they have to get creative...lets see

Those guys cost less. And the Jags needed him off the books so weren’t going to hang around and wait to see if they could do better. 1

RyanC883 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 perhaps prevents Balt from getting the Browns LB that we want, or Yannik--assuming the Jags let him go eventually. Or Armstead, etc. Or Littleton, LB Rams!

People worried about Hughes getting older yet he’s older than Hughes and has a big contract.
BeastMaster Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Baltimore can have a old, declining player on a big money deal. Bills will continue to build with younger, cheaper players that have promise 1 1 2

ALF Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Go for a young DJ Reader who is good at run defense. If they can't sign him and Shaq they may have to draft a DE at 22. Could Texans DT D.J.
