Guest speaker Brian McFarland teaches on the healing annointing.

The Ravens have some cap flexibility to make a splash signing but will they pull the trigger and if so, for whom? Brian McFarland and Tony Lombardi discuss some of the possibilities along with some of the recent signings and a significant pay cut for a critical player. Plus, they discuss the bargain signing of a key Ravens player who got away. It's a real headscratcher.

The Ravens have seen a mass exodus over the last few weeks, with 10 free agents finding new homes.  The most recent departure was Pro Bowl guard Kevin Zeitler, who landed in Detroit on a 1-year, 6 million dollar deal.  Many were surprised at the price tag for Zeitler, both because it was lower than expected, and it seemed it was too steep for the Ravens.  Did they make a mistake letting the 2023 stand-out walk?  RussellStreetReport.com's Brian McFarland breaks down the numbers and tried to make sense of the Ravens recent moves.

In the third hour of Wednesday's BBMS, Ed, Rob, and Jeremy talk to RussellStreetReport.com's resident Cap-ologist, Brian McFarland, in the wake of another free agent departure for the Ravens.  Kevin Zeitler received a 1-year, 6 million dollar deal from the Lions, a surprising low amount for many around the league.  Should the Ravens have paid up to keep the vet around?  Plus, Caps play-by-play man Joe Beninati joins the show to talk some hockey, the guys hand out Shovels, and Brian and Chef Patrick jump on the show to preview tomorrow's Fan15 event.

Last year, the Ravens came out on top in what many believe to be the most important offseason in the history of the franchise. This year, the offseason for Baltimore will likely determine the future of the Ravens organization for the next 3 years as several young contributors are set to hit free agency. How will Baltimore respond to the loss of talent? Is the cap space really holding the Ravens back. Brian McFarland joins us to discuss exactly how the Ravens will approach this crucial free agency period. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ravenstalk/message
