Our CBs bailed our safeties out last year, big time. This move makes us so strong. If only we could ditch Tony Jefferson. I want Chuck Clark to start sooo bad. Nice work in the Gen thread BTW. You seem to get everyone going in every thread I look at lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, we have Chuck and Elliott there to replace him the year after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, if having the best FS in the NFL can't get us to play Jefferson properly- nothing will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coordinator0 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Okay. I wasn't really on the Earl Thomas bandwagon before, but after seeing the amount of cap space the Ravens were going to have coming up (even considering the low amount of contracts on the books) I'm not worried about the price. It's not a terrible deal anyways, at least not for a playmaker the likes of Thomas. Simply put, he changes things on the field. I don't mind the team shelling out for that even with the loss of a 2020 pick in the late 90s range. It's worth it. With the loss of Weddle, Mosley, Suggs, and Smith and replacing them with Thomas, Young/Onwuasor, Williams, and Bowser it's a mind-boggling upgrade in terms of athleticism and range. Another edge guy probably needs to be added for depth but if that group pans out... oh my. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Thomas, we not only secure our back end but also add a play making element. And we get to play Jefferson properly which improves our coverage security even more. Young and Bowser both can actually cover Tight Ends and HBs. One of our biggest weaknesses from the past couple years. Then you factor in the overall speed bump which will help us stop these run around QBs like Mahomes and Mayfield. I LOVE it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It's like we're getting extra draft picks this year. Just cause we finally get to let our young savages loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Bowser should also be the immediate heir to Suggs position with Tim Williams in rotation. It will be interesting if we chase another outside linebacker in free agency or address that position in the draft. We are suddenly thin at that position.

drd23 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Great news to wake up to. As you have all said, this will take our defense to a new level athletically, which should hopefully translate to even better production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coordinator0 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/03/13/earl-thomas-gets-32-million-fully-guaranteed-at-signing/ Quote 1. Signing bonus: $20 million. 2. 2019 base salary: $2 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2020 base salary: $10 million, fully guaranteed. 4. 2021 base salary: $11 million. 5. 2022 base salary: $12 million. So the cap hits should end up like this: $7 million, $15 million, $16 million, $17 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead it's just a podcast video with some screenshots of their grades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
