Rumors have reached me via Jamison Hensley that the team has reached an agreement on an extension for Roquan Smith. Excellent news if true.

Just seen it! Hell yes. 5 years, highest paid MLB in the NFL.

Looks confirmed This is a huge, huge signing. I really wasn't sure what was going to happen here.

They may want to sign Lamar but there may be an irreconcilable difference of opinion about his future value. They did win a Superbowl with a top-tier defense and a merely ordinary quarterback. And I think Lamar is on an RGIII trajectory.

And I think Lamar is on an RGIII trajectory. If that was the case Lamar would be out of football. Or on his way out as a back up like he was here. Lamar’s trajectory is probably much more like Vick’s. Bright flame that burns out quick. Maybe has a bounce back year as more of a passer like Vick did in Philly. Always dealing with injuries. Let’s hope for the best but the most likely scenario is that Lamar is more of what he is now than what he was in 19-20.

One thing that's really being overlooked is that both of Lamar's injuries came from the pocket due to poor offensive line play. We really need to do something about left tackle. Stanley has to stay healthy, or they have to move on.

Stanley has to stay healthy, or they have to move on. Another idiotic decision from Roman. Let's take an injured, weak pass-blocking OL and make them pass-block for our QB who isn't a great passer. When the OL is good at run blocking and we have two solid RBs with great YPCs. And garbage WRs. My God what a mess this offense is. Doesn't matter how you look at it. It's a mess.

Just seen it! Hell yes. 5 years, highest paid MLB in the NFL. Nobody will ever replace one of NFLs greatest players ever, Ray Lewis. Smith sure comes close to playing at Rays level.
