AFlaccoSeagulls 5,970 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The year is 2030. Jimmy Smith has had surgery on every body part imaginable. He plays 1 game per season, but in that one game he gives up 0 catches before coming out injured. The Ravens have just extended him for another year as their #3 CB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SalvadorsDeli 1,982 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I like it assuming the 'up to $5 million' language means this is an incentive-laden deal heavily centered around playing-time bonuses and staying healthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ravens5520 242 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Smith on the field is worth every cent of that 5 Million. Veteran leadership and great presence for guys like Marlon who are coming into their own. Also might be insurance on our decision looming around the slot spot for Tavon Young. I don’t believe we can cut him and gain much cap per his contract, but could be incorrect. I have no issues with this deal, even if we get 10-12 complete games next year. Just hope we also draft a guy or two mid rounds for depth and not be forced to watch what we have this second half of the year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We know we're likely going to lose one or both of Tavon and Jimmy to an injury, so that leaves us with Marlo/Peters/depth, which is usually fine but when Averett went down and then all the other dudes went down/sucked beyond belief (Bonds, etc.), we really hurt.

Exactly why we still need to try and draft depth. Averett’s game is still growing. I think he can be a solid contributor. Doubt he ever reaches Marlon level, but solid slot fill in outside man CB looks up his alley. Tavon is the WC of the bunch. I’d prefer us to draft as if he isn’t even on the team, then when he is healthy its just an added bonus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DontTazeMeBro 822 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 What do you imagine a contract negotiation with EDC is like? I want $5 million. We can do 2. $5 million and I’ll dog sit for you on 4th of July. You got a pen on you? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
