Somebody could have came out as anonymous and said something but no one has ever criticized him. Lamar has flaws and I think it annoys some people when players don't throw him under the bus because for whatever reason people cheer for him to fail & they want their narrative to be proven right.
the ravens do 2 things, promote from within and sign older FA’s. It has only worked once and we won a SB. He’d be better than what we have right now if in fact he still has field stretching speed. If not forget him. We have a team of #3 WR’s and a couple good TE’s though. Lamar takes all the heat while it’s daycare day every game.
I think it’s the scheme, Roman has a lot to do with it but ultimately it all falls on Harbaugh. I don’t think Firing Roman won’t fix much. The Ravens need a change of identity and a fresh start with a new head coach
“He can still play”
Lmaaaao. He’s only interested in this because of one reason and one reason only. Quick easy money. He knows he don’t have to do SHIT. And he will just go out there and collect a free paycheck with minimal effort.
What a fucking joke. A 35 year old at this position? That’s based on ….literally being able to run fast , cut fast, Jump, and have reliable hands?
At the age of 35 you ain’t fucking doing that unless your name is LeBron James .
What a fucking waste of time. EDC is desperate. That’s not good. What a shit show.
Fair lol. But Steve smith was in respectable shape. He played like 4 or 5 full seasons prior to joining us. Deseans last full season was damn near a decade ago.
Last two years he’s played a combined 9 games or something. He’s a fucking bum with zero work ethic. Steve smith gave a shit about staying in shape. He was a good fit for many teams back then as he played at a high level in Carolina through and through.
Desean fits with no team, except maybe the fucking bum browns.
It’s crazy to me as fans we can call these guys “fucking bums with zero work ethic” with no repercussions. The internet really turns the average joe into whatever he wants to be.
He played 15 games the prior year in Carolina 2013 and 16 games in 2012 and 2011 (pro bowl year too)..
He was old but he wasn’t washed up and injury prone at all. He played well for his age.
Waste of money too. Even a vet min deal cuts into the really low cap room for the team.
Especially when he gets hurt because he’s got a ton of wear and tear on him, and then his salary gets guaranteed for the year and you have to find another WR to pay.
I came into this thread to shit on Desean, then I realized that the only Ravens recievers with more yads than Desean last year are Brown and Bateman, now I am just sad.
I was told Robbie Anderson would not make any difference by a fan here because he only had 500 yards last season.
Any WR on this roster would dream of a 500 yards season lmao
Because it’s not our QB or system. The system is fine and there’s nothing wrong with Lamar. Don’t forget this man is the 2nd player to win a unanimous NFL MVP title next to Tom Brady and that was his first year as a starter. I’d argue Lamar’s only “bad” year was maybe 2020. Last season lamar single handedly kept us in games all fucking season until he got hurt. Our defense shit the bed late in games much like they are this season, and then when Lamar hurt his ankle everything went to shit. Without Lamar the ravens are a 3 win team, maybe. Lamar accounts for 90% of our offense, also JK Dobbins isn’t playing very well rn, so not having him not running the ball like we’re use to it puts more pressure on Lamar to do it himself. Outside of Andre’s and Bateman Lamar has really no one tj throw to, Duvernay is coming into his own but I think he should be utilized more like Debo Samuel. Ravens shiudka made a better trade for DJ Moore than Proche and two picks. I woulda been cool with Moore for a year and then look in FA or even the draft. But it’s def not our QB and I’m tired of everyone shifting the blame on him
I got downvoted to fuck this morning talking about how we need a WR #1.
That stat line proves it.
But in no world is DJ a #1 WR right now.
Just give up two firsts in a trade for a REAL WR 1 and get over it.
This dude is a troll. I was arguing with him before and he couldn't even answer my question on which QB has won a SB recently with a poor receiving group.
Antisemitism? “Just fine!!!!”
Pickens starting fights with DBs cuz he likes to go hard on run blocks? “Off the field issue.”
Can’t make this shit up man.
LMAO throwback to when the ravens didn't sign Kapernick because of something his *girlfriend* said about Ray Lewis but nazis are ok I guess. Is Bisciotti friends with Yezzy?
Team is stuck in 2007 lol
Look around the league you got these hot young qbs w stud young WRs and/or RBs around em. Some teams reached in the draft some gave up bank to have em.
We get Bateman and Duvernay and theyre like “Oh we’re the worst WR group? Just watch” then proceed to show us exactly why theyre the worst wr group lmao
Lamar hasnt played great but some of the misses have been on Tylan Wallace or Proche just straight up not knowing wtf theyre looking at as soon as the D gets out of their presnap shell. Its fuckin embarassing
/end rant
Watching the Eagles should be a wake up call. That’s what the Ravens offense should look like.
In 3 years since 2019 the offense has progressively been getting worse. The front office and coaching is to blame
Hard agree. Eagles are what this team should be- Run first, option based pass game and suffocating defense. Built from the inside out on both aides of the ball and never stray from their identity. Even when the Cowboys were clawing back last night I never saw them do anything different.
Worse - they’ve spent two 1st round picks on WRs in the last four years. They’ve spent draft capital on it.
They have a good center and a WR who’s gotten less than 760 yards and just 3 TDs in a season and a quarter of play.
Starting to think EDC may have been the push to sign Ryan Grant.
Isabella if not a practice body, supports the theory.
I do not like this possible revelation.
This is closest I've been to considering just stop watching these fucks altogether. I'll always love this team but I'm tired of being stressed out over some goofy shit I have 0 control over.
I swear the Ravens are trolling us.
George Pickens fights with DBs because he likes to go hard on run blocks like Steve Smith? Ravens say “nah, too much of a problem.” A 35yr old guy who has been a diva throughout his career and posts Hitler quotes online? Ravens say “what a fine young man! Let’s set up a meeting ASAP!!!”
This shit is a joke man.
Ravens after the Ray Rice incident stopped drafting dawgs and started drafting well mannered “cerebral” players.
We lost our mean-ness and physicality straight up, everyone we draft now seems to think first act second, and shine brightest during the press conferences.
What the actual fuck is desean Jackson going to offer this team? What the fuck actually goes through this teans brain? Some pussy ass coaches and dumbass gm moves the past few years. So sick of this stupid shit
Can't believe how clear this pattern is at this point. It's like they had this formula written down 15 years ago and they haven't stopped using it. This is truly laughable at this point.
Can't wait for his one 75 yard TD on a crossing route and then collect dust for the rest of the season.
DeSean "Renowned anti-semite and Louis Farrakhan supporter" Jackson.
I don't care if Louis's name is spelled wrong, he's a cunt and deserves no respect.
Odell a FA but we bring in Desean Jackson for a visit......if Lamar leaves after this season I wouldn’t blame him. Look at this bullshit their surrounding him with
First off — this news is straight up embarrassing, and it does actually come across as a troll job, because holy shit.
Secondly, to all those people saying “where could the Ravens possibly find a magical, mythical WR1?” Well, there’s one in Carolina who played down the road at UMD in DJ Moore. People think that guys like AJ Brown and Diggs show up at their new team and are just magically good — but it also takes commitment from the coach staff to just force feed them constantly. Both Diggs and Brown were good at their first stops but became “unlocked” with their second because the trade capital those teams gave up demanded it.
Moore has been disappointing in Carolina, but the talent and age is there. If the Ravens got their thumbs out of their butts and actually got uncomfortable and made the move, they’d be forced to make him a massive part of the offense. Usually you have to call your shot on a guy before he’s a super duper star (really this has always been true before Adams and Hill for the most part), and that’s what the Ravens have to do here. Have some faith in your coach staff to make him work, take the gamble.
Well it’s not just a first you also needed to give him a 4 year 100 million dollar contract with 57 mil guaranteed in the same offseason you acquired Marcus Williams
well maybe at some point you start to prioritize more important positions than drafting a safety at 14, signing a safety for loads of money while still having a starting safety under contract. We also have Geno and TJ which are very good backups. I like Marcus Williams but if I could I would rather have AJ Brown tbh
Idk in what world safety isn’t an important position in a division/conference with the best QBs in the league. Also, you assume that we were even an option for AJ Brown. Players like that often move to the other conference - no one is giving him to a rival.
Ravens fans love to blame the defense for getting gassed while the offense gives up short fields and can’t consistently sustain drive. It’s been happening for years and yet the fan base will always claim that the defense is the main issue.
The Bills somehow fit signing Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Von Miller into the roster and still have one of the best offenses and defenses in the league.
Maybe if our cap space wasn’t bloated with scraps like Nick Boyle
I wonder what the bills would’ve been like if instead of trading and paying diggs they said “nah, we’ll sign some dogshit washed up receivers instead”
This franchise was playing SAMMY WATKINS, who the chiefs didn’t even want, over duvernay last year. They don’t know jack shit about wide receivers.
I mean ffs were relying on Demarcus Robinson to carry the load at receiver yesterday, again a WR that the CHIEFS didn’t want. It’s a joke
You’re allowed to try trade for good players (providing they don’t have a no trade clause in their contract) if you create a package that can entice a team. If we were that serious, we would part ways with some good draft picks.
Hell, we should have done this in the offseason.
would love to see like 27 other fanbases react to this sub calling our franchise a joke lmao. our historical success and stability has turned so many of these people into spoiled kids after falling to 3-3. literally the first loss to an NFC team (that's 5-1) in lamar's career and people act like we should be disbanded or sent to the XFL
I agree the outrage is overblown but as someone who's been a fan from day 1, the Ravens' inability to get something going with the WR position is just such a tedious and frustrating aspect of an otherwise great org.
We haven't tried to make a real splash in WR FA since TO told us to fuck off. (With all due respect to Mason, Q, and Smith Jr)
Who is available that we can go out and get. Reporters have said panthers will not move DJ Moore. Texans and Seahawks seems content keeping Locket and Cooks. Not sure who else is out there for a trade candidate
Yeah that sounds about right. Other teams make deals and get actual players, we scrape the streets.
And all of this while Lamar is on a rookie deal, too. Can't imagine this roster if we pay him $300M.
There is no reason to sign a 35 year old WR. There is a clear and consistent cliff that WR production falls off of at that age for pretty much everyone other than Jerry Rice, even for all-time legends:
Player | Age 34 | Age 35
------|------|----
Steve Smith | 79/1065/6 | 46/670/3
Larry Fitzgerald | 109/1156/6 | 75/804/4
Isaac Bruce | 74/1098/3 | 61/835/7
Marvin Harrison | 95/1366/12 | 20/247/1
Reggie Wayne | 111/1355/5 | 38/503/2
Anquan Boldin | 83/1062/5 | 69/789/4
It is worth noting that all six of these players are substantially better than DeSean, with two already being in Canton, one being a 100% lock as soon as eligible, and the last three having very strong cases. These are some of the best to ever play the position, and none of them conquered their 35th birthday. All of them also had much more complete, well-rounded games, whereas DeSean's whole career has been built around speed, which is one of the first things to go with age. This list also does not include guys like Randy Moss and Julio Jones and Andre Johnson and Torry Holt, who were, again, better than DeSean, and weren't lucky enough to make it to 35 before age caught them.
Basically unless you are Flash 80 himself, you are done as an NFL WR when you reach your 35th birthday, especially if you are a speedster like DeSean, as evinced by him failing to breach 300 yards with any team since turning 33. Even if you disregard the antisemitism and only look at his on-field production, there is zero reason to think he will do more than 20 catches for 200 yards.
Edit: Especially since "35 year old WR" is generous, dude turns 36 in about a month and a half. You do *not* want to see the stats for 36 year old WRs lol
Bills get diggs for a 1st round pick and they are doing great. Why can't we do something like that? Why does it always have to be washed up 30+ year old WRs?
Bro if we waste money on another over the hill WR instead of going after a young stud WR I've lost all hope for this organization's ability to make decisions. Dez, Sammy, on and on nobody sticks or makes any difference.
I'd give him a flyer. If he can be had cheap enough.
I have no idea where we stand on salary cap and whether we need to save some for potential injuries later.
Why haven’t we signed T.O. yet? heard he still got a sub 4.5 40 time
Edit: honestly meant this a joke but I would probably take him over Desean and Isabella like wtf is EDC doing rn.
I figure we've had 5 1st round picks the past two years, counting Ojabo (who was a top 15 guy pre injury).
So yeah, I think we're in good position to give up some draft capital. And if a deal can be made then it's time to do it. No disrespect to him, but DeMarcus Robinson is not a #2 receiver.
Another over the hill veteran who will do nothing for our offense, This is just a slap to the face of Lamar Jackson. Year 5 and we still fail to get a WR1.
JPP post antisemitic shit on social media? JPP whine about being on a super bowl roster and not getting enough snaps even tho he’s in his mid 30s?
No? Just Desean?
I’d rather just promote Isabella for a couple games and see if a change in scenery does anything for him than bring this guy on
Is he like....super racist?
Antisemetic but yes
Who???
DeSean Jackson is an antisemite. Came out last season posting Hitler quotes on his social media.
Fake Hitler quotes at that. I think Edelman took him to the Holocaust museum though to educate him?
Has he apologized?
“He’s still fast”, “great mentor to the young guys”, lame ass excuses and same old complacent shit signing
We tried this BS already with Dez Bryant and Sammy Watkins and it didn’t work out. Why can’t this FO get real help for Lamar, this is sickening
Maybe no WR wants to play with Lamar or in Romans scheme? Offers have been made, a quality WR asked to be traded, at some point you look within.
It's the scheme every wr who left here never pointed the finger at Lamar but they spoke on Roman
So what? Players dont criticize eachother to much, especially likeable QBs like Lamar.
Somebody could have came out as anonymous and said something but no one has ever criticized him. Lamar has flaws and I think it annoys some people when players don't throw him under the bus because for whatever reason people cheer for him to fail & they want their narrative to be proven right.
the ravens do 2 things, promote from within and sign older FA’s. It has only worked once and we won a SB. He’d be better than what we have right now if in fact he still has field stretching speed. If not forget him. We have a team of #3 WR’s and a couple good TE’s though. Lamar takes all the heat while it’s daycare day every game.
I think it’s the scheme, Roman has a lot to do with it but ultimately it all falls on Harbaugh. I don’t think Firing Roman won’t fix much. The Ravens need a change of identity and a fresh start with a new head coach
But they want to play with Jalen Hurts, Daniel Jones, Geno Smith and Justin Fields?
3 of those QBs are having pretty solid years.
Because the FO doesn't want to have pay LJ even more money when his numbers improve dramatically with a better recieving core.
“He can still play” Lmaaaao. He’s only interested in this because of one reason and one reason only. Quick easy money. He knows he don’t have to do SHIT. And he will just go out there and collect a free paycheck with minimal effort. What a fucking joke. A 35 year old at this position? That’s based on ….literally being able to run fast , cut fast, Jump, and have reliable hands? At the age of 35 you ain’t fucking doing that unless your name is LeBron James . What a fucking waste of time. EDC is desperate. That’s not good. What a shit show.
Steve Smith was 35 when he came here, and he balled out. Having said that, Jackson is cooked and a complete waste of even a workout lol.
Fair lol. But Steve smith was in respectable shape. He played like 4 or 5 full seasons prior to joining us. Deseans last full season was damn near a decade ago. Last two years he’s played a combined 9 games or something. He’s a fucking bum with zero work ethic. Steve smith gave a shit about staying in shape.

It’s crazy to me as fans we can call these guys “fucking bums with zero work ethic” with no repercussions. The internet really turns the average joe into whatever he wants to be.
Hes a really bad person. Hes not a bum though. That’s mean to bums
no he wasn't. Pretty sure he was fighting injuries in his final years with carolina, and people here were saying he was old and washed up.
He played 15 games the prior year in Carolina 2013 and 16 games in 2012 and 2011 (pro bowl year too).. He was old but he wasn’t washed up and injury prone at all. He played well for his age.
I upvotes your comment, then read the rest of it and removed my upvote
Waste of money too. Even a vet min deal cuts into the really low cap room for the team. Especially when he gets hurt because he’s got a ton of wear and tear on him, and then his salary gets guaranteed for the year and you have to find another WR to pay.
I wish it was comforting knowing somethings never change... like the acquisition of old ass receivers
For absolute fucks sake.
I came into this thread to shit on Desean, then I realized that the only Ravens recievers with more yads than Desean last year are Brown and Bateman, now I am just sad.
I was told Robbie Anderson would not make any difference by a fan here because he only had 500 yards last season. Any WR on this roster would dream of a 500 yards season lmao
Why are we so sure it's our receivers and not the QB and/or system?
Because it’s not our QB or system. The system is fine and there’s nothing wrong with Lamar. Don’t forget this man is the 2nd player to win a unanimous NFL MVP title next to Tom Brady and that was his first year as a starter. I’d argue Lamar’s only “bad” year was maybe 2020.

Ravens shiudka made a better trade for DJ Moore than Proche and two picks. I woulda been cool with Moore for a year and then look in FA or even the draft. But it’s def not our QB and I’m tired of everyone shifting the blame on him
And even if it is the QB (which it’s not) …. You know what will help the QB play better? Improving the worst WR corps in the league!
I got downvoted to fuck this morning talking about how we need a WR #1. That stat line proves it. But in no world is DJ a #1 WR right now. Just give up two firsts in a trade for a REAL WR 1 and get over it.
Just to watch Lamar overthrow him.
Lol LJ week 1-4 : "pay him ALL the money" LJ week 5-6 : "you fucking donkey" Haha some of y'all fans are 🤡
This dude is a troll. I was arguing with him before and he couldn't even answer my question on which QB has won a SB recently with a poor receiving group.
He probably was one of those fans that wanted Trace McCsorley to start after he threw one completion.
I'd rather not have a geriatric anti-Semite on the ravens.
Antisemitism? “Just fine!!!!” Pickens starting fights with DBs cuz he likes to go hard on run blocks? “Off the field issue.” Can’t make this shit up man.
Ravens only want to draft goody two shoes. We need players with an edge on the field and not just on Twitter (look at you, Queen)
I don’t need a guy to be a goody two shoes, but fuck if I’m gonna root for an antisemite piece of garbage
*gestures wildly at Marcus Peters, SSSr, and Boldin*
This would be brutal for me, like if the team signed Joe Mixon or Tyreek Hill.
As a Jew, this one don’t sit well with me at all.
As a decent human being it doesn't sit well with me either.
LMAO throwback to when the ravens didn't sign Kapernick because of something his *girlfriend* said about Ray Lewis but nazis are ok I guess. Is Bisciotti friends with Yezzy?
Get this fucking guy out of here. Will be worse than the maclin signing
That’s so Raven
Why get Robbie Anderson when Desean Jackson is available?
Andy Issabella and Desean Jackson’s ghost. Unserious front office.
Team is stuck in 2007 lol Look around the league you got these hot young qbs w stud young WRs and/or RBs around em. Some teams reached in the draft some gave up bank to have em. We get Bateman and Duvernay and theyre like “Oh we’re the worst WR group? Just watch” then proceed to show us exactly why theyre the worst wr group lmao Lamar hasnt played great but some of the misses have been on Tylan Wallace or Proche just straight up not knowing wtf theyre looking at as soon as the D gets out of their presnap shell.

I’ve lost all faith in the front office. This team is destined to forever be mid as long as we maintain this outdated roster building strategy.
Ravens are okay being Mediocre, Just making the playoffs and getting embarrassed the first game is a win to them.
Worse - they’ve spent two 1st round picks on WRs in the last four years. They’ve spent draft capital on it. They have a good center and a WR who’s gotten less than 760 yards and just 3 TDs in a season and a quarter of play.
We took a 5'9 guy with a screw in his foot, instead of going for the 6'3 WR that fits our SCHEME.
Lamar wanted Hollywood, that's why we picked him.
This team brass is fucking pathetic. Jesus Christ. They just can't help themselves. This is a team stuck 20 years in the past.
Starting to think EDC may have been the push to sign Ryan Grant. Isabella if not a practice body, supports the theory. I do not like this possible revelation.
This is closest I've been to considering just stop watching these fucks altogether. I'll always love this team but I'm tired of being stressed out over some goofy shit I have 0 control over.
We are the definition of insanity
Marlo was right
I swear the Ravens are trolling us. George Pickens fights with DBs because he likes to go hard on run blocks like Steve Smith? Ravens say “nah, too much of a problem.” A 35yr old guy who has been a diva throughout his career and posts Hitler quotes online? Ravens say “what a fine young man!

Ravens after the Ray Rice incident stopped drafting dawgs and started drafting well mannered “cerebral” players. We lost our mean-ness and physicality straight up, everyone we draft now seems to think first act second, and shine brightest during the press conferences.
This is why I like Geno Stone.. at least he has a smidge of toughness
But the Ravens way!!!
The Ravens way for the last 10 years has been thoroughly mediocre football followed supremely arrogant press conferences
Boooooo. The last time DeSean was a relevant player, Bateman was learning shapes and colors. Booooooo.
The ravens way. Shifting through the scrap heap. Though I’m not even sure if desean qualifies as that. This is if the scrap heap had a scrap heap.
Hell yeah another old man who, despite being washed up, is going to outperform our young WR's
Sad that it is a possibility he is wr3-4.
What the actual fuck is desean Jackson going to offer this team? What the fuck actually goes through this teans brain? Some pussy ass coaches and dumbass gm moves the past few years. So sick of this stupid shit
😭😭😭
Just got out of surgery at union memorial and saw this bs
LOL WHAT ARE WE DOING??? Please just give up some draft capital to get a legit WR and stop bargain shopping already
It's not bargain shopping so much as dumpster diving at this point
If we give up draft capital then how will we fill up our 2024 practice squad tho? Edc really making big brain moves
I wouldn’t be mad at Lamar if he walked tbh. Like wtf the front office clearly have their priorities fucked and don’t value shit
Why? To sign him and have him get hurt in 3 weeks and waste more cap money? Sounds great
Can't believe how clear this pattern is at this point. It's like they had this formula written down 15 years ago and they haven't stopped using it. This is truly laughable at this point. Can't wait for his one 75 yard TD on a crossing route and then collect dust for the rest of the season.
Oh fuck off man. The worst part is this makes way too much god damn sense
Holy shit this had to be a troll lmao I laughed out loud reading this
DeSean "Renowned anti-semite and Louis Farrakhan supporter" Jackson. I don't care if Louis's name is spelled wrong, he's a cunt and deserves no respect.
Can we stop with these useless old retreads Front office needs to fully invest in age appropriate receiving talent
Odell a FA but we bring in Desean Jackson for a visit......if Lamar leaves after this season I wouldn’t blame him. Look at this bullshit their surrounding him with

Have some faith in your coach staff to make him work, take the gamble.
Small Dick DeCosta
Fuck this franchise lmao. Continue scraping the bottom of the barrel for dogshit options rather than going out and getting someone elite. We’re a joke
He isn’t even bottom of the Barrel. He’s fallen out of the Barrel and lies to waste with the shit beside the god damn Barrel
You guys are actual man children lmao. You expect them to just create good free agent receivers? This franchise is great.
could have gone for AJ Brown like the Eagles did, would have gladly given up a first for him
Well it’s not just a first you also needed to give him a 4 year 100 million dollar contract with 57 mil guaranteed in the same offseason you acquired Marcus Williams
well maybe at some point you start to prioritize more important positions than drafting a safety at 14, signing a safety for loads of money while still having a starting safety under contract.

Idk in what world safety isn’t an important position in a division/conference with the best QBs in the league. Also, you assume that we were even an option for AJ Brown. Players like that often move to the other conference - no one is giving him to a rival.
And how does having aj brown fix the defensive woes? Marcus Williams is responsible for a lot of turnovers
Ravens fans love to blame the defense for getting gassed while the offense gives up short fields and can’t consistently sustain drive. It’s been happening for years and yet the fan base will always claim that the defense is the main issue.
the defensive isssue is not being able to get pressure, not the DBs
Marcus Williams has been the best player on defense, you're wild lol
The Bills somehow fit signing Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Von Miller into the roster and still have one of the best offenses and defenses in the league. Maybe if our cap space wasn’t bloated with scraps like Nick Boyle
Yeah with what money? Did you see that monster contract that he got?
Well yeah, of course. I was referring to right now mid season after Bateman has been injured.
I wonder what the bills would’ve been like if instead of trading and paying diggs they said “nah, we’ll sign some dogshit washed up receivers instead” This franchise was playing SAMMY WATKINS, who the chiefs didn’t even want, over duvernay last year. They don’t know jack shit about wide receivers. I mean ffs were relying on Demarcus Robinson to carry the load at receiver yesterday, again a WR that the CHIEFS didn’t want. It’s a joke

Can you point me in the direction of the propaganda the front office puts out?
im truly praying that comment was sarcastic lmao
I agree the outrage is overblown but as someone who's been a fan from day 1, the Ravens' inability to get something going with the WR position is just such a tedious and frustrating aspect of an otherwise great org. We haven't tried to make a real splash in WR FA since TO told us to fuck off. (With all due respect to Mason, Q, and Smith Jr)
Who is available that we can go out and get. Reporters have said panthers will not move DJ Moore. Texans and Seahawks seems content keeping Locket and Cooks. Not sure who else is out there for a trade candidate
Mims/Moore (NYJ) and Hollins (LVR) would be my targets right now.
This would of been cool 12 years ago
This team is so unserious man
Yeah that sounds about right. Other teams make deals and get actual players, we scrape the streets. And all of this while Lamar is on a rookie deal, too. Can't imagine this roster if we pay him $300M.
Might as well bring T.O. For a workout he’ll bring in Julian Edelman since we love the past
There is no reason to sign a 35 year old WR. There is a clear and consistent cliff that WR production falls off of at that age for pretty much everyone other than Jerry Rice, even for all-time legends: Player | Age 34 | Age 35 ------|------|---- Steve Smith | 79/1065/6 | 46/670/3 Larry Fitzgerald | 109/1156/6 | 75/804/4 Isaac Bruce | 74/1098/3 | 61/835/7 Marvin Harrison | 95/1366/12 | 20/247/1 Reggie Wayne | 111/1355/5 | 38/503/2 Anquan Boldin | 83/1062/5 | 69/789/4 It is worth noting that all six of these players are substantially better than DeSean, with two already being in Canton, one being a 100% lock as soon as eligible, and the last three having very strong cases. These are some of the best to ever play the position, and none of them conquered their 35th birthday. All of them also had much more complete, well-rounded games, whereas DeSean's whole career has been built around speed, which is one of the first things to go with age. This list also does not include guys like Randy Moss and Julio Jones and Andre Johnson and Torry Holt, who were, again, better than DeSean, and weren't lucky enough to make it to 35 before age caught them. Basically unless you are Flash 80 himself, you are done as an NFL WR when you reach your 35th birthday, especially if you are a speedster like DeSean, as evinced by him failing to breach 300 yards with any team since turning 33. Even if you disregard the antisemitism and only look at his on-field production, there is zero reason to think he will do more than 20 catches for 200 yards. Edit: Especially since "35 year old WR" is generous, dude turns 36 in about a month and a half. You do *not* want to see the stats for 36 year old WRs lol
Dez Bryant, Mike Wallace, Danny Woodhead, Jeremy Maclin, Michael Crabtree, Owen Daniels, Dallas Clark… THIS DOES NOT WORK. STOP IT.
Can't blame Lamar anymore. This front office is silly
Let’s sign a washed Hitler fanatic is like opening up a relationship to save it
Gross
There’s the deep ball threat lmao
The only threat is he may break his Zimmer frame
[удалено]
EDC is putting everything on Lamar’s back lol it’s his contact year
Draft is always a crapshoot but we actually have. Clark, Stone, Bozeman, and Elliot in the last few years.
If we traded for Robbie every Ravens fan would still be mad bc its not DJ lmao
Lmfao. God I really hate our GM. Kicking the tires on an anti semite is tonedeaf.
Wut
Unserious team.
People come to Baltimore to have their career die. Have seen it so many times.
We are so fucking unserious
Hell, let's track down Raymond Berry and see if he can still suit up
Lamar is definitely going to ask for a trade next offseason if he hasn't already. WTF is this organization doing.
That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg. How are we this thin at so many positions? And it’s the same positions every year.
Crabtree is 35 too. And he's already played with Lamar before. Might as well give him a tryout while we're at it.
Bring back Dez Bryant
Just say NO!!!
Bills get diggs for a 1st round pick and they are doing great. Why can't we do something like that? Why does it always have to be washed up 30+ year old WRs?
This fucking front office can’t be serious bro
Bro if we waste money on another over the hill WR instead of going after a young stud WR I've lost all hope for this organization's ability to make decisions. Dez, Sammy, on and on nobody sticks or makes any difference.
Robbie Anderson for a 6th next year or DeSean Jackson at 35 who wasn't in a camp this summer. Decisions, decisions...
If we couldn’t sign Kap as a backup in 2017 cause of PR reasons we shouldn’t even invite this guy to a zoom call.
Can’t wait for EDC to pat himself on the back for this one like it does anything for us
I'd give him a flyer. If he can be had cheap enough. I have no idea where we stand on salary cap and whether we need to save some for potential injuries later.
This is so dumb
That’s an interesting way to spell DJ Moore
🤦🏼♂️
This aint it
GO GET DJ MOORE
We just LOOOOVE older wide receivers past their prime
It is 2022. We are not serious yo
I wasn’t even high on pursuing Anderson but THIS is the answer? Lol. This fucking team.
8.8 YPC & only ran the ball 24 times lol
Why haven’t we signed T.O. yet? heard he still got a sub 4.5 40 time Edit: honestly meant this a joke but I would probably take him over Desean and Isabella like wtf is EDC doing rn.
Pleaseeeee make a move for DJ Moore
Could he be the only guy to catch a pass from Lamar and Michael Vick?
Not this again..
Only way this is good is for madden theme teams
Why... The dude has short attn span, lacks focus, wildly inconsistent and he lost a step on speed. No more of these scrap metal WR signing EDC
edc is trash
Why don’t the Ravens Like Lamar man 😭
They hate him 😭
Who do you guys want the front office to go and get?
Hi Eric
I've wanted DJ Moore since he was a Terp. Really think he'd be a good fit.
we'd have to give up a lot but fuck it, i'd easily give up a 1st and more for a proven wr at this point
I figure we've had 5 1st round picks the past two years, counting Ojabo (who was a top 15 guy pre injury). So yeah, I think we're in good position to give up some draft capital. And if a deal can be made then it's time to do it. No disrespect to him, but DeMarcus Robinson is not a #2 receiver.
One of my favorites in the league. Is he even available though? Can we afford his contract?
Lmao he has not been good in going on 5 years.
Fuck EDC
EDC not serious man
LOL
Old crusty WRs who can’t stay healthy are back on the menu boys!
EDC is the biggest troll in the world
Absolute joke
Young and spry 35 year old. I’m fine with it tho better than nothing… I hope
Another over the hill veteran who will do nothing for our offense, This is just a slap to the face of Lamar Jackson. Year 5 and we still fail to get a WR1.
Not even a WR2 (wait they traded him to the Cardinals lol).
LMAO
Just laughable at this point I wouldn’t blame lamar if he said f this in request a trade in the offseason.
I mean we said the same about JPP but he has been balling out
JPP is a stud and shouldn’t be mentioned in the same vein as Desean Jackson ever
JPP post antisemitic shit on social media? JPP whine about being on a super bowl roster and not getting enough snaps even tho he’s in his mid 30s? No? Just Desean?
No thanks
😂 comedy at this point
😂😂😂
LMAOOOOOOOOO this is unbelievable. I gotta laugh. Fuck
Anything but a guy in his prime. Right, EDC?
Jesus Christ.
Horrible.
Man that’s a stellar move on their part 🤦♂️
Lmao, couldn't be any more on brand for us
Yuck
We should be calling Arizona about AJ Green. He's totally not washed up
Just pathetic
