NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

Realizing they could not sign him and this season is already over for them?
He is a 2/3 season rental on a franchise tag like contract (1 year $12mm) he wants like $20mm next year.
So an $8mm cap hit to ravens for this year? Then he walks next year. Very expensive rental, but they need someone who can get to Mahomes in this years AFC Champ game.

I'm not sure he walks from the Ravens next year, but I'm not sure exactly how their cap situation looks. Not sure I'd call 1 year $12M as a franchise tag like contract, unless you just meant the 1 year thing.

I did not think when they traded for him (the Vikings I mean) they considered him a rental. I thought when they traded for him they thought they were getting another bookend pass rusher to go with Danielle Hunter, who unfortunately has been hurt all year.

If they then decided they were sellers, I could understand trying to recoup some value...just seems like they got less than they paid for him (although not sure what the conditions are on the conditional 5ths that went each way in the two deals), when he put up 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 7 QB hits, and 5 TFL in only 6 games.

They defiantly lost in this deal, spent a 2nd and 5th and got a deep 3rd and 5th in return to him. Turned a an early round 2 pick to a late round 3

Better to cut your losses and get some pick backs then the nothing they get if he walks.

How do the conditions work on picks if you then retrade the guy midseason? I know the conditional 5th the Vikings sent the Jags could have been a 3rd or a 4th if he was like 1st team all pro or some other awards/modifiers. I assume they don't carry over, or maybe the conditional 5th the Ravens are sending has the same shit.

I don't know that they intended for him to be a rental at the outset but given their record, injuries, cap pressure for next year, and bleak outlook given said cap issues/contracts, he likely wouldn't be signed long term so they figured they might as well get something.

Anyone who thought Cowboys / Giants was bad hadn't seen the worst of the NFC East yet.

This is near unwatchable.

If Biden has a bad night at the debate tonight, it's because FOX stole his teleprompter....

Peak Daniel Jones tonight.

Wow, how do you drop that pass?

That 2nd hit was dirtier than the first wtf.

I came here for the Daniel Jones memes.

I am disappoint.

you know someone is going to get hot and win 3 out of 6 to the end the year and win this awesome division with 6 wins.

The NFC east is hot garbage. 6-10 may win it.

And yet just like always, somehow, someway that fucker puts up a nice fantasy game. And they won.

Dallas half game back now. Not sure they can overcome that hurdle this late in the season!

Does anyone in the NFC east finish with a .500 record? I can't see one team who does....

I legit think the Eagles end up winning the division with like a 6-8-1 record.
