Alphadawg7 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) This is a move that I do think makes the Ravens better…how much is yet to be seen, but seems like a no brainer fit. Makes the Saquon deal look even worse IMO. Edited March 12 by Alphadawg7 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBFL Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Well it was always him or Saquon unless they missed out on both. Maybe if they get to the AFCC they won’t lose their identity and throw the ball 80% of their plays again… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 If $10 Million per year is the high end of the RB market, I think we can afford a cheap power back to compliment James Cook later in free agency like Dobbins, Foreman, or AJ Dillon. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit agree if the right bargain is there, cuz with 11 picks we can also draft a cheap one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 I would rather have Henry at $8M than Barkley at $12M. So not sure what the Eagles were thinking if they could have had Henry for 2/3rds the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not sure what the Eagles were thinking if they could have had Henry for 2/3rds the price. I mean, I get it to an extent; Saquon is a absolute 3 down back that isn’t overlooked in the passing game. Henry, whilst a beast in his own right, isn’t that dynamic a receiving threat. Probably had to pay more than anyone else to secure his services? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine-iac Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'd guess that the Eagles want to use Barkley like the 49's use McCaffrey and the Ravens just want a battering ram. Both teams and players get ideal situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donuts and Doritos Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 8 that is the total # of carries by Ravens RBs against KC. EIGHT! What's the point of spending the $ on a RB they won't use when it matters most. Their QB can't get it done in the biggest games. That's the problem, not RB. (Good for us.)

Logic Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 If anyone actually thought the Bills would be spending that much on a running back in a year with this many needs and their cap situation, and coming off a season where James Cook posted 1500+ yards from scrimmage, well...I'm not really sure what to tell you. It was never feasible, practical, or particularly necessary. That said, it's a good signing for the Ravens. It's also good for my Derrick Henry dynasty league shares. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babulator Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 IDK I saw Taylor Lewan talking about how Henry does not like the zone block scheme, and likes the RPO even less. He wants to keep his shoulders square to the line and run down hill. He mentioned that the Ravens do both and he wasn't sure its a great fit for him. He mentioned Dallas would have been a better fit. I also believe he needs to dominate the ball to get cooking, I think it'll be interesting to see how this works out. I'm not sure it will pan out as great as they hope, age, scheme, new team etc... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The most obvious move of the Offseason. I'm surprised it wasn't one of the first moves announced. They had a trade in place for him Midseason that got nixed at the last second by TEN's owner. They made it to the AFC Championship, free reign to mold the running game around him, cap to sign him, and wouldn't have to give up a pick this time.
