Baltimore Ravens Bolster Defensive Line with Calais Campbell Trade

Earlier today the Jacksonville Jaguars traded Pro Bowl Defensive End Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2020 5th round pick.

Over the last two seasons, Calais Campbell had a total of 17 sacks. In the past two out of three seasons, he has averaged at least 10 or more sacks per season. 


This a very vital edition to the Baltimore Ravens defensive line who only had one player who has averaged more than 1 sack in the 2019 NFL season which was Chris Wormley.

 Matt Judon who averaged 9.5 sacks this past season was a linebacker. 

Tyus Bowser also a linebacker had 5 sacks this past season.

Most of the Baltimore Ravens sacks came from their linebacker core.

Calais Campbell will add the dynamic force this defensive line desperately needs, this Baltimore Ravens defense should add even more pressure on opposing Quarterbacks in the 2020 season, which will lead to even more interceptions by ball hawks Earl Thomas, Marlon Humphrey, and Marcus Peters. 

This was an outstanding move by the Baltimore Ravens and even was able to restructure the Calais Campbell deal for two years for $27 million. $20 of that 27 million is guaranteed.

We will soon see how this deal turns out for the Baltimore Ravens.

Baker Mayfield Era Begins

Baker Mayfield entered the second quarter after Tyrod left the game to get checked out for a concussion. Mayfield entered the second quarter with one minute and 47 seconds left in the half, he completed three out of his four passes for 47 yards.

Baker kept up the same momentum in the second half. He made completion after completion. Baker threw an amazing pass to Jarvis Landry, that leads to a game-winning touchdown run by Carlos Hyde.

Baker Mayfield finished the game 17 for 23 throwing for 201 yards. He even caught a pass on a 2 pt conversion to tie the game in the fourth quarter,  on the famous play Philly special. Baker leads the Browns to their first win since 12/24/16.

There should be no question who starts next week at QB for the Cleveland Browns! The Cleveland Browns play the Oakland Raiders next Sunday.

Trouble in Pittsburgh

Yesterday, the Steelers finalized Le’Veon Bell will not be playing week 1, against the Cleveland Browns. Although Le’Veon, said in the off-season he will not be playing on the franchise tag again, and if the Steelers offered him another franchise tag contract, he would sit out.

The Steelers must have thought he was bluffing. Le’Veon teammates took to social media yesterday, to show their disapproval of Le’Veon decision.

Maurkice Pouncey stated, “Why play hide and seek? Why let your agent say this? Just man up and tell us what you’re going to do.”

Ramon Foster followed by saying, “He’s making seven times what I make, twice as much as Villanueva is making, and we’re the guys that do it for him.”

It sounds like some hating, is going on in the Steelers Organization. The sad part is both Foster and Pouncey are NFLPA reps. They should be backing their fellow teammate in getting paid, instead of bashing him publicly.

This is why the NBA, will always be light years ahead of the NFL.

The Le’Veon situation shows you the “NFL is a business” only applies to the owner, GM, etc. The moment a player makes a business decision, involving more money in a contract they become greedy and selfish. Seems like a double standard to me.

Le’Veon Bell has rushed for 5,336 yards, ran for 35 touchdowns, caught 2,660 receiving yards, and caught seven touchdowns in five seasons.

Why wouldn’t you want to pay a running back as versatile and healthy as Bell?

Can Dez Bryant be a good fit in Cleveland?

Dez Bryant was released by the Dallas Cowboys this past April.

Surprisingly, Dez is still without a job. He turned down a three year $21 million deal from the Baltimore Ravens.

Now there is a mutual interest between the Cleveland Browns and Dez Bryant.

Dez Bryant met the Cleveland Browns this past Thursday, but no deal was reached.

After the Browns trading Corey Coleman to the Buffalo Bills, and Josh Gordon still dealing with his personal problems. You would think the Browns needed a wide receiver ASAP, but with the emergence of rookie receiver Antonio Callaway, do they really need Dez Bryant?

Dez isn’t what he use to be, but he still can make big plays for the Browns offense. The real problem is can he fit in with the new culture Browns are creating positive energy and hard work no days off unless your leg is falling off as Jarvis Landry said on Hard Knocks.

Dez fits the hard work no days off description, but the positive energy is another story. We have seen his tirades on the sideline in Dallas when he doesn’t get his way. Does John Dorsey, Hue Jackson, Todd Haley really want to deal with that?

If this deal happens the Browns will have one of the best wide receiver cores in the league.

Maybe Jarvis Landry can keep Dez leveled headed, but only time will tell.
