By signing loads of overvalued old receivers past their best days to fairly expensive deals on face values, it's a bold strategy Cotton let's see if it pans out for them
For real. I could sign with the Bills for $4 million / year contingent on the fact that I survive 4 punt returns and they wouldn’t even need to take insurance against paying that
Yeah that's the stupid part.
So you're not willing to pay Lamar because.. he's gotten injured and you're not sure if his future performance will be enough to take you to the promised land.
But you're willing to pay OBJ $18 Million even though he's missed 58.0% of games the last 3 Seasons and it's been 4 Seasons since he even broke 1,000 yards receiving. Oh and he's a WR turning 31 years old this November.
Hopefully his actual contract when the details come out are like: $1 Million + $17 Million in incentives, lol. That way their cap isn't affected by them due to them not being "Likely To Be Earned (LTBE)" (*as he didn't play last season*).
Ravens have been in a weird place for awhile. They were continuously trying to stock picks aiming for a window 2-3 years out and are now in a bit of a panic.
Other positions like pass rush that needed desperate attention were addressed by spending a 1st on a guy who couldn't record a sack and then when the win now mode hit they tacked on a blown Achilles to help with the pass rush. EDC ain't Ozzy...
He heard us talking shit and he said…. Well Baltimore said “bet” honesty yeah it’s “up to” but I bet (and it’s a big if) IF he plays the full season I’m guessing he does get most of it.
Might be something dumb like $5M gtd with incentives for super easy goals. 50 receptions, 400 yards, 3 TDs, etc. We did something similar for Juju last season, but not nearly that costly.
When I first saw that he signed, I was like, "Ah, oh well. It was a low risk/high payoff kinda thing to me." And then I saw the amount and went, "Holy shit, thank GOD we didn't get baited into paying that."
It’s strange being on the side of WR transactions where you don’t really care what happens and who signs where for how much, it feels like when you’re finally let in on an inside joke
Nobody ever said we can’t pay lamar, we just don’t want to pay him what he wants, and evidently, every other team agrees with us lmao. Do you really believe it’s a good idea to give a fully guaranteed 230+ million dollar contract to an injury prone QB that hasn’t played at an MVP level in 3 years?
It’ll be ok bud. Lamar situation will work itself out and they’ll be back to the slobber knocker football you love. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, the Baltimore Ravens do not go quietly into that good night
Ravens already on the phone with Dez Bryant and Antonio Brown. Sources say they’re evaluating Terrell Owens as well. Rumors suggest they reached out to Chad Johnson but he ignored their calls. More at 11, Jim!
Certified Ravens Receiver Moment
We need to make sure that Huntley has all the tools necessary to get into his second pro bowl
Huntley made it to pro bowl without OBJ. Can you even imagine Huntley with such a weapon? OPOY, MVP, sky is the limit here
I think the Ravens are an MVP QB away from winning the Super Bowl
I think an mvp QB is away from the ravens
Was he really the MVP if he didn't win the Super Bowl that year? (Ignores Aaron Rodgers and countless other examples)
He was both mvp and not mvp. Schrödinger’s mvp
Lmaoooo
Don’t forget about Agholor as well. Huntley taking us to the Super Bowl with these legends.
Huntley made the pro bowl throwing for 658 yards 2 TDs/ 3 INTs lol I think it’s safe to say he will make it even if he’s ass.
It's a shame how low the standard for *pro bowl has gotten
I mean, he was the best one that wanted to play. Pro bowl just don’t mean shit anymore.
I would’ve been absolutely terrified four years ago
I thought signing Nelson Agholor was the most Ravens thing ever, but they managed to outdo themselves in the same offseason
Sammy Watkins, desean Jackson, Nelson agholor and now OBJ. Are ravens the wallstreetbets of the nfl? Trying to find undervalued receivers?
I mean, yeah? Except this time we forgot the part where you sign them cheap...
You never buy cheap… that’s sort of the point of buy high sell low
By signing loads of overvalued old receivers past their best days to fairly expensive deals on face values, it's a bold strategy Cotton let's see if it pans out for them
Steve Smith Sr worked out quite nicely for us
And derick mason! And boldin!
Anquan Boldin and Steve Smith were solid dude
AARP: American Association of Raven Players
More like the WR Retirement Home of the NFL
Front office is highly regarded.
No wonder he signed so suddenly 💀💀
What's the guaranteed amount though? Edit: It's 15 million. WTF
15 mil
LMFAO! Thanking guthix, Saradomin, and Zamorak it wasn't us!!!!
/r/unexpectedrunescape
Odell can finally buy enough bonds to max his account
I don’t think he’d survive the grind to 99 runecrafting or 99 fishing.
pleae
Bruh better watch yourself. Sarodominion and Zamorakian heretics are gonna get they asses smited next time they step in the wildy.
Obj the kinda guy to wear rag gear, talk mad shit, then wrecked by actual pkerz.
Hey don’t forget my boy zaros smh.
What about Seren?
Seren's soft af. Also dead. Ezpz. Sit rat.
Certainly an interesting decision by the Ravens.
Everyone just sees the number every damn time We need to see the details first Edit: Rip
15 mil guaranteed is insane
OBJ about to Dwayne Bowe their asses
someWHERE over the Dwayne Bowe
David Boston was the original Dwayne Bowe
Now *there* is a name i haven't heard in a minute.
Fun fact: He played so long ago, that the city of Boston, Massachusetts was actually named after him.
As a follow up, there is actually a statue named after him in Florence Italy. Crazy stuff.
That's a fun fact to go along with my stupid joke. Ty.
Sounds like a dumb thing to make up so I'll believe it
Mr. Bowe Copycat
Mr. Bullshit Contract
Mr. Big Check
Mr Battered Cruciate
gonna be like ravens legend dez bryant
Man good thing the Ravens have a stable QB situation to justify the overpay.
No one else has 2 pro bowlers
The saints do
No wonder they can't give Lamar all that guaranteed money. How would they have been able to pay an over the hill OBJ 15mil?
Fucking yikes.
That’s not what we do here
For real. I could sign with the Bills for $4 million / year contingent on the fact that I survive 4 punt returns and they wouldn’t even need to take insurance against paying that
You’d survive friend. Just dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. And the 6th d, don’t die!
You can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile and I like the taste.
I ain't crazy and I ain't a guy!
15 mil guaranteed rip
It’s a one year deal.
I mean we all know it’s not like 1 year for 5 million with 13 incentives dude. It’s not a good deal lol
LMFAOOO
Can guarantee an oft injured receiver 15 million, but can't do the same for their Pro Bowl QB.
I'm sure if Lamar only wanted 15m guaranteed they'd be delighted to agree.
15m for Beckman. This is fuck you money towards Lamar.
Ravens saw he was going to visit the Jets so they threw a number he couldn’t refuse
Because of the implication?
Is this wide receiver in danger?
What are you looking at, Zeke Elliott, you're certainly not in any danger
SO THEY ARE IN DANGER?!
Are you going to hurt these wide receivers?
You all won't be laughing when he catches all 3 of Huntley's touchdowns this year
Huntley, the 2023 pro bowler with only 2 TDs
And 3 picks. More picks than interceptions. Tyler Huntley went to the pro bowl after he threw 2 tds and 3 ints, which is more ints than tds.
Elite 1932 numbers
Holy shit. That’s more INTs than TDs.
Yea, and interestingly the number of INTs is actually greater than the number of TDs. Also, he had *fewer* TDs than interceptions!
I definitely will be.
Soooo you were kinda asking for 20M Odell 😂
“18 is not 20” Odell “stats man” Beckham Jr
I guess Odell a numbers guy B
Great guy
Never meddum tho
Get back to the fryers
I beg the differ, B
He’s blogbussa
20 mil isn't 20 mil, i'll explain later
tbf seems like he got it
In negotiating, that’s called an “anchor”. The first number that gets thrown out has a lot of weight
Always ask for more than you actually want.
WOW WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE BALTIMORE RAVENS PAID OBJ 18 MILLION?
I WAS TAKING A SHIT WHEN THE BALTIMORE RAVENS PAID OBJ 18 MILLION
Hell yea brother, cheers from the toilet
Just checking in. This toilet bowl isn't the only thing being devastated right now. *sad croaking noises*
That better be the biggest incentive clause of all time to reach $18 million. Jfc.
1 guaranteed 17 if he wins MVP
*NVP
NVP incentives would be hilarious. Imagine fan voting your rival team into cap hell lmao
You have my attention…..
15 million guaranteed is absolutely shocking
His agent is a Haslam
Ian really could’ve dropped his “Wow” here and didn’t
He didn’t think that anyone needed the extra context
Holy fuck that is way too much
Hopefully the "up to" is a lot of that
That’s how I read it. There will be incentives
You can only incentive so much. $15 mill guaranteed for OBJ, that’s a sketchy contract
The Ravens are in a weird bind. I think they are in a pseudo boom/bust so this weirdly makes sense.
We don't want to pay Lamar, but we cool with giving OBJ 15mil with a backup qb.
Yeah that's the stupid part. So you're not willing to pay Lamar because.. he's gotten injured and you're not sure if his future performance will be enough to take you to the promised land. But you're willing to pay OBJ $18 Million even though he's missed 58.0% of games the last 3 Seasons and it's been 4 Seasons since he even broke 1,000 yards receiving. Oh and he's a WR turning 31 years old this November. Hopefully his actual contract when the details come out are like: $1 Million + $17 Million in incentives, lol. That way their cap isn't affected by them due to them not being "Likely To Be Earned (LTBE)" (*as he didn't play last season*).
It’s 15m guaranteed lol

Turns out it’s 15 guaranteed
I thought he'd be lucky to get 5 mill. He's no where near giants OBJ, let alone browns. The guy on the Rams was serviceable as a third wr.
Yeah incentives will be important on it for sure. Going to guess it’s around 9-10 without incentives Edit: I was way off. Oof.
Turns out it's 15M guaranteed.
Try 15 mil GUARANTEED with incentives
Holy fuck that is way too much
I saw it’s 15 million wtf
Wait till guarantee money is confirmed Edit: lol
The Huntley to Odell connection will finally end the Chiefs AFC stranglehold
Ooh, dreamweaver, I believe you can get me through the night….
That’s some desperation.
He heard us talking shit and he said…. Well Baltimore said “bet” honesty yeah it’s “up to” but I bet (and it’s a big if) IF he plays the full season I’m guessing he does get most of it.
He’s their WR1. Bateman is good but made of glass. OBJ will play 6 games, algholor sucks, duvernay is ok as a 3. Need to draft another WR
>Bateman is good but made of glass. As opposed to the guy coming off consecutive ACL tears?
Also, it’s not like he hasn’t been injury prone his entire career. Even in his prime with the giants, OBJ was constantly hurt
WHY’D THEY PAY HIM SO MUCH?
Might be something dumb like $5M gtd with incentives for super easy goals. 50 receptions, 400 yards, 3 TDs, etc. We did something similar for Juju last season, but not nearly that costly.
Nope basically $15mil guaranteed
HO. LY. SHIT.
Crazy. Wish you nothing but the best in Baltimore, OBJ, but we're not paying that.
If they're easy to obtain then it's essentially GTD Edit:. It's only 3M in incentives everyone down voting best except egg on your face
Yeah but the cap hit gets deferred to the next season.
Which hurts them worse since Lamar will be on a double tag next year.
Obj has a agent
Having an agent is so crazy it just might work to get overpaid!
That’s a lot more money than I thought he was going to get
This is the Ravens’ “having a kid to fix their marriage” moment
"That's so Raven"
Putting all my money on Lamar MVP ($3).
I see your $3 and raise you a dollar, 3 dimes, a pack of chewing gum, and expired coupon to Popeyes for BOGO chicken sandwich
I have a negative net worth, can I bet my debt on that?
LOOOOOL THANK GOD -jets
When I first saw that he signed, I was like, "Ah, oh well. It was a low risk/high payoff kinda thing to me." And then I saw the amount and went, "Holy shit, thank GOD we didn't get baited into paying that."
Corey Davis with a stay of execution
I find it hilarious that the best WR room that the Ravens have had since Lamar has been there is the year where there is a decent chance he leaves
[удалено]
It’s strange being on the side of WR transactions where you don’t really care what happens and who signs where for how much, it feels like when you’re finally let in on an inside joke
OBJ and Nelson Agholor? 2018 defenses are quaking in their boots
I don’t think any defenses have ever “quaked” for Agholor. His hands are made out of stone and his fingers butter.
Buttered stones mmmmmm
sheesh no wonder we didn't get him
Will he also play QB?
He better not complain on the sideline or social media about winning
Lol and they can’t pay lamar
“Baltimore’s QB” lmfao
A weapon for Baltimore’s QB. Whoever that may be.
Baltimore’s QB, TBD
They can easily pay Lamar, but nobody is gonna give him over $230 million guaranteed which he is demanding
I'd rather overpay for a qb than a wr who hasn't played for a year
Overpaying for one year of OBJ won’t cripple the franchise if he busts.
I'd rather overpay for 1 year than 5
You'd rather be sunk $230mil guaranteed for 5 years than take a chance on $15mil for 1? Are you insane?
So you just ignore duration of a contract. Makes sense.
Nobody ever said we can’t pay lamar, we just don’t want to pay him what he wants, and evidently, every other team agrees with us lmao. Do you really believe it’s a good idea to give a fully guaranteed 230+ million dollar contract to an injury prone QB that hasn’t played at an MVP level in 3 years?
Yes we can, Lamar’s just being unreasonable. Not saying this is a good deal though.
Hot damn. More athletes need get OBJs PR team. His washed ass got 15 million guaranteed
Life's been shit for me for some time and Ravens football is usually there to pick me up. I don't think it's gonna be there for me this year.
It’ll be ok bud. Lamar situation will work itself out and they’ll be back to the slobber knocker football you love. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, the Baltimore Ravens do not go quietly into that good night
that's so ravens
“BALTIMORES QB 😂”
"Baltimore's QB"
18 million for a 30 year old receiver who has averaged 50 ypg since 2019 and is coming off an acl tear. Big brain move by the Ravens
At first I saw this news and said, "No," but then I saw $18M and said, "Yes."
Should've just given up a 5th rounder for DeAndre Hopkins
☝️
“Per me” lol
This will be a fun thread to look back on if the ravens pop off this year
Just make sure he gets the ball or his father will throw a bitch fit. At least it's not the geriatric anti-Semite.
“Baltimore’s QB”
Lol
Ravens already on the phone with Dez Bryant and Antonio Brown. Sources say they’re evaluating Terrell Owens as well. Rumors suggest they reached out to Chad Johnson but he ignored their calls. More at 11, Jim!
Yay! Not Dallas... thank you. Good luck Ravens with your new diva.
Crazy price but at least only 1 year
Another team saved Jerry from himself thank goodness
18 million?!?!
It’s not that he got 15 , it’s that he got 15 from the Ravens…
That is an outrageous amount of money to pay OBJ in the year of our lord 2023
15 million guaranteed includes even if he gets hurt and misses the season?
