Trojan Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I thought he was more or less a disappointment (if I remember right because of availability instead of talent) which seems somewhat odd to be an extension target. Surely it's semi-budget right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 3 catches per game average and 4 career TD. Yeah, I’m going to assume he’s a good perimeter blocker and run with that narrative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tape shows Bateman can get open frequently but doesn't always get the ball. I think the Ravens are getting out ahead and signing him now rather than him having his most productive year as WR2 next to Flowers in 2024 and becomes too expensive to re-sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tso Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 So it's sounding like they extended, but not via the 5th year option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name had so much potential for elite gif usage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeTayne Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 4/121 seems like a lot, but it's not Tayne's money 🤷. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 They didn't release contract numbers, which mean he's getting paid like dirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 i believe this is going to be a steal deal after next season. F yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 As long as he can block for his RBs Henry and Jackson it's a good move tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berlin calling Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 could also be a catalyst to trade him. Chargers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Meh. He's been bad when thrown the ball, IMO. He has to be near the top of the drop rate stats. He hasn't done much of anything after the catch. Some say he is really good at getting open, but I feel like that's a lot of running hard on plays that were already developed in another direction. I'm particularly lower on him than most. Hope this is cheap and he breaks out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMcFife Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 8 minutes ago, MWil23 said: I mean, if Bateman is the 3rd or 4th read on a play, it's not uncommon for a QB not to get to that read. Presumably with OBJ gone Bateman will move up in the pecking order and receive more targets. Also there is such a thing as "chemistry" between a QB and WR, thus far I don't think Lamar has clicked with Bateman as well as he has with other pass catchers but that has in part been due to Bateman missing time with injuries. Your false binary has been defeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
