Am I the only #Ravens fan that thinks the Lamar Jackson tweet means nothing and isn’t related to his contract situation at all? Because I don’t get why some people think it means anything. 🧐

@DeCostaLacie My son fell while playing basketball yesterday and broke his wrist, and I received jury duty. So yesterday wasn’t a red letter day for us. But God is great, and today is a new opportunity to smile. 😊💜

Good Morning #RavensFlock Happy Friday! We made it. Today I’ll be going to my 4th lacrosse game in 5 days. 🤔 Love this time of year. Less then a week and we will have new Ravens! Don’t let others bring you down! Focus on what is important. Eyes on the prize. 💜

@ObiWanNICKobi @sgellison @Ravens And plenty of misses too. That’s my point. It’s a crapshoot with Beckham until he actually plays.

@UndertheMDsun @sgellison @obj @Ravens They’ve also had plenty of hits! Mason. Boldin. Smith Sr. just to name a few!

@Ravens I’m always cautiously optimistic when it comes to veterans, especially at WR. The Ravens have had a lot of misses with names that seemed amazing at the time and then turned out flat. But I do hope Beckham can be “Giants productive” again. 💜

Say hi to the newest Raven world 😈

Name your hometown by naming a restaurant from your childhood, that only a local would know.

@BryanA440 @thefoodmonsters @jeffzrebiec @TheAthletic It didn’t actually. It said exactly what it meant to say. They don’t have a great history, and they don’t.

@UndertheMDsun @thefoodmonsters @jeffzrebiec @TheAthletic When you said "let's hope THIS ONE is different" suggested that we had NEVER had a veteran signing work out...and that's not the case. The Boldin trade was the most successful!

The Ravens $15 million agreement with Odell Beckham Jr. was certainly out of character for the organization. But what it could lead to could make it money well spent. via @TheAthletic theathletic.com/4396552/2023/0…

@GlennClarkRadio @GloryDaysGrill 95%. I think Lamar Jackson will ultimately play on the tag, having not been given what he really wants. My prediction for next year is about 10% though. I think he leaves in 2024, along with Beckham, and gets the contract he wants.

Hi. After yesterday's news, where do YOU believe the #LamarOMeter should be today? Need a percent and reasoning? Someone who participates at random will be chosen to win a $25 @GloryDaysGrill gift card.

@devpanchwagh Yes. People are overly excited about a name and what he used to do with the Giants. But he hasn’t really been that kind of a game changer since those days. Then again, it’s always possible. So the toss up seems worth it right now to see what he looks like. 🤞

No Ryan Grant wins that award lol. It’s an overpay. It’s also a one year deal. So risk is less egregious. OBJ could be finished. I don’t believe that but it’s certainly possible. On the flip side, if he’s not, this turns into a good deal. #Ravens are shooting for the upside

@jonas_shaffer Not knowing what he is now is the reason I’m hesitant to be as enthusiastic as some other people are. But if he can be what he was before, it’ll be a great addition. 👍

In the 2021 regular season, Odell Beckham Jr. was about as productive as 2022 Devin Duvernay. In the 2021 playoffs, OBJ turned into the star he used to be. After two ACL tears, which OBJ will the Ravens get? And how much does it matter to Lamar Jackson? thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/ravens-…

@sgellison I still have some overall questions that won’t be answered until the games are actually played, but the paper version looks pretty decent. 💜

Going to bed thinking about the stress that a healthy Lamar Jackson, Odell Beckham Jr, Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews and JK Dobbins will put on opposing defenses. Each individually causes headaches. All five together is a nightmare.

@koestreicher34 @Ty_Strong I feel like Ravens are always hit or miss with these veteran WRs, so I am hopeful without being automatically elated. It’s great on paper if he can be what he once was. But that’s on him to prove that now.

@RavenManiac The Ravens have a history of getting splashy veteran receivers who end up not doing well. So while it’s an exciting name, it won’t actually be known if this is a good move until the season. But with what they had to work with, it’s a great pickup.

Yes, the Ravens overpaid for OBJ, but they have to. This franchise is cursed from a WR standpoint. The offense isn’t (or hasn’t up until this point) been one a WR can flourish in. So, you pay more than you should to secure someone that might be able to turn things around.

@koestreicher34 @Ty_Strong I’m not as convinced as others that he’ll stay, or at least play if he does end up staying, but I don’t appreciate the fans who turn on him so quickly for wanting what he wants.

Lamar Jackson's recent tweets make it feel like the whole trade request situation is very much about money, not the Ravens' organization

@GlennClarkRadio I genuinely love how people are interpreting every single word he says to make themselves believe he’s coming back to/leaving the Ravens. 🤦‍♀️

I genuinely love Lamar answering questions. Keep firing away.

@sgellison Whether he stays or goes, I never personally never understood the people that believed he didn’t want to play last year. He was injured. It’s that simple. Now, I do think he could sit out this off-season, training camp, etc., but that’s a different situation.

Exactly. Makes no sense that he’d show up for training camp, but hold out for December and the playoffs. He didn’t play because he was injured. Not because of money.

@DeCostaLacie We will be in Arizona in a couple months! Taking the boys on a two-week cross-country RV trip after school gets out. We’ve kept putting it off and then finally realized that our summers with all three boys in the nest are running out. 😕

AZ is nice but ready to come home. #baltimore

@jeffzrebiec I feel like one side is more committed than the other. They just don’t want to fully commit the money.

Ravens team president Sashi Brown: “We love Lamar. We want Lamar back. We are committed to trying to get something done.”
