    Smith would be a great signing, but I doubt the Ravens make that move if they don't think they can sign him long term.

    He will definitely be an upgrade and a welcomed addition to this defense

    I'm taking an educated guess. I'm not claiming it is a certainty. It is possible they thought a rental was worth it, but man, that would be a bad idea.

    They may have thought that they were one player away from winning the SB and, with impending free agency, their window with Jackson was closing fast. It would be difficult for them to find the cap to sign both

    It's possible, but picks in the second and fifth rounds seems like a lot for a rental. :shrug:

    Not sure what the price tag will be, but we can get the correct Devin (White) via trade next year or free agency the following

    Aside from that ****show against the Ravens, the run defense has actually been pretty good of late.

    The Ravens are notorious for renting players. You ever notice how they end up with a bunch 3rd round compensatory picks every year. This is one of the ways in which they do it. If they let him walk they will be certain to be compensated a 3rd this year.

    You're not wrong about the history. It's not a terrible play if they go that route.
