    I think JuJu turned down 13 million from Baltimore

    Bens not hurting them the way they structured his contract and they can make cap space very quickly. Maybe they keep Hilton with the few extra million Ben cost them but Nelson has nothing to do with this or Bud for that matter. The fact that they were able to keep JuJu is amazing, got lucky the market was soft.

    If that’s true, and I have my doubts, Juju is a bigger immature dope than even I imagined.

    Baltimore is where receivers go to die, his numbers will be better in Pittsburgh, he can be a free agent again in 2022 when teams will have more cap space.

    Turn down $5 mill this yr (as the $13 at Balt vs $8 in Pit narrative suggests), and you never make it up. Are Juju’s number going up in Pitt in 2021? His QB is older, DJ and Claypool are ascending, Matt Canada -Super Genius is gonna run more. He might as well be in Balt.

    Hard to know what to believe in the press, but I read it was 9 million with incentives, so really base pay was pretty much the same.

    Yes, they can make cap space very quickly, so why haven't they? They've lost 3/5 of their OL and half of their defense.

    They're not making a run. They're tanking.

    Hope they trade up for Mac Jones now.

    I would love to have Jones but I don’t think they are taking any QB this year. Going to move up next year with all the extra comp picks and grab one then.

    That I can believe, But if Balt really offered Juju $13 mil, he’d be dancing on his opponents logo at Heinz Field come fall, and suddenly fans wouldn’t think it was funny anymore.

    9 million base.. 13 million in incentives. Not the same thing. His agent tried to make it look like that though.

    They don't because the ravens are a run based team. Even Hollywood complained about that. But we also haven't seen lamar play with a true #1. Josh Allen looked bad before he did. Lamar won an mvp without a true #1. Let's not judge thay aspect until he gets 1.

    I think Pierre is the one they have taking over for Hilton.

    Let's just hope they have no plans to draft a DB with their 1st round pick.

    Yeah.
    Ok.
    Whatever.
    Funny certain QBs just can't seem 2 find that all elusive #1 Wr.
    Put any Baltimores top 2 Wrs on Steelers (with old Ben), Green bay, TB, and KC their number would be way different.
    Theirs a reason No free agent Wrs want 2 go 2 The Ravens.
    You need S. SHARPE 2 tell you.
    LoL

    Well after @FootballAnalyst98 declared outside corners weren’t as important as the slot corners I can see why the Steelers felt Nelson was expendable.

    Seems like your not.
    We had with ( old Ben )
    3 Wrs over a 800 yards last year
    Ravens didn't have 1.
    Ben had 4 Wrs with 5 or more Tds
    Lamar had 1.
    So tell me smart guy .
    Why would Wrs free agent rather play for Lamar.

    Baltimore is a running team, and when they do throw its to the TE, JuJu will get 100 targets in Pittsburgh.

    13 million in incentives? I think you’re not articulating very well.

    Actually, if the offer is true it's a good, mature business decision and he is playing the long game.
