Beckham signs with Ravens

Hard Knocks becomes 10% less interesting.

Gotta think that’s a Lamar concession

[oatmeal]

Pivot to Hopkins ?‍♂️

Baltimore is flailing.

Should have paid that to an agent.

Holy contract

this.

they are trying their best to have Lamar hate them less.

OBJ just cashing in, doesnt even care who the QB is...next closest was prob 9mil or something

[Bobby816]

They can have him for that price. BAL will pay OBJ this and not pay Lamar? Makes no sense.

[undertow]

18 mil?  Go suck a lemon this is basically the Ravens on their hands and knees begging Lamar to come back.

Just my opinion, but I think that he is a shell of what he once was. Those injuries take a toll. To me, he is a tremendous red zone target now, and that can't be undersold, but I would hope that Wilson can fill that role.

I may be wrong.

They already made a very fair offer in the neighborhood of 3 years $120 mil he turned down.  A deal will eventually get done

Pivot to Quentin Johnston at 13

[shawn306]

Good. Let him be the Ravens problem

[FlightBoyz]

[Greg555]

I bit surprised but ..also a bit relieved.  He can be very good and/or a major headache - toxic 

 

 

[Flightattendant]

No loss. Too rich for my blood and clearly the Ravens weren't as concerned about his health as I was because no physical needed.

[Bobby816]

Interesting to see what we do now. Bc after trading Moore there is a slight hole there with Davis’ health and even Hardman’s health. Can’t see us bringing in Hopkins contract. So we will see. Maybe a 4th round WR?

[usanyj]

“I hear you got an opening…”

[Joe Willie White Shoes]

Thank God.  That is a ridiculous contract for a washed up headache of a player.  One old guy (Rodgers) is enough.  He's not worth a fraction of that contract.   I'm sure JD told OBJ the Jets were not coming close to paying him $18 million, which is why he's not visiting tomorrow.  Good riddance.

I didn’t want Beckham either but outside of Garret Wilson our WR group is very mediocre

They just won't cut or trade Davis and pick up a guy later in the draft or on the scrap heap....I don't think the Jets are desperate for a WR I think they wanted to bring in OBJ on the cheap and saw some upside in the playoffs....I doubt they pivot to trading for Hopkins and giving him 20 mil a year.

Oh thank goodness.

[choon328]

1 yr UP TO  $18 million. Those 2 words are very important. He was always going to get an incentive laden deal. 

[Mogglez]

Hot take:

Aaron Rodgers, with a WR corp of GW, Hardman, and Lazard, isn’t enough to compete in the AFC.  We’re teetering dangerously close to throwing premium assets away for a wildcard exit.

 

[choon328]

A lot of swings and misses by JD this offseason on impact FA's, not a good look.

No we have to invest another 1st round pick on OT. Despite the fact that Zach Wilson can’t read a blitz to save his life and White and Flacco are about as mobile as a cement block

Hopkins won't be traded for anything less than a late round pick (or at all) because his contract is ridiculous (although it's less ridiculous than the deal OBJ just signed). He'll likely get released. He won't sign with the Jets because I'm sure he still thinks he's a #1 and he won't be that with the Jets.  He's too old and too expensive for the Jets.
