berlin calling Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 i can't understand the excitement in trading for a top corner when you'll have 50m+ cap (maybe 60m) spread over your starting 3 CBs and your safety. Thats what paying Ramsey/Humphrey/Young/Thomas would basically cost, right? thats just not gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.10.E Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Apparently 2 first for Jalen on top of paying for him. Probs not happening boys. Edited September 17, 2019 by M.10.E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlon is set up for a Mega deal as well. Could get the same or near it. Best case, we're at 40 Mil for our corners. Not ideal. I see your point. We could decide to let Marlon walk or trade him if we like Jalen more. Top to bottom, he's a better CB right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 We have 2 maybe 3 years to get as much talent as we can before Jackson gets paid. The team is already built. We need to make this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalen might be more talented, but have you seen Marlon's ability lately? Not only is he a shutdown CB, but his run defense is arguably the best in the league at this point, he's an absolutely A+ character guy and he's homegrown. I'm all in on the idea of buying while your QB is on his rookie deal, but 2 1st-round picks as a starting point for Jalen Ramsey is too high for me IMHO.

They'd probably be fine with a 2020 1st and a 2021 2nd... EDC on the other hand likely wouldn't be.

DontTazeMeBro Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I say pay Ramsey and Humphrey. Let Judon and/or Stanley walk if we can’t pay all of them. It’s soooooo hard to find quality corners these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 you tell yourself finding a top CB is harder than drafting a top LT, i'd rather have Stanley long term than a second CB with a payroll north of 15m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Exhibit A: Yeah, I seen this breakdown earlier. He's a phenomenal talent. Let's not forget a few of his breakdowns in last game as well. Being lost in some defensive plays. I'm not saying Marlon isn't a potential elite talent but if you ask me who I want? I'm taking this guy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 That's the thing though, Marlon is still ascending whereas Ramsey has arguably already peaked, and is a known locker room concern. When you factor everything in, I'm taking our home grown guy over giving up 2 1st-rounders + a huge contract for Ramsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Marlon will be a Raven for life. Doesn't matter who else we pay. There's nothing wrong with paying Young, Humphrey, and Ramsey. CB is a Top 3 position in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues throwing large sums of money into the secondary right now because by the time we pay Lamar, Earl Thomas and Tony Jefferson will be off our books.
