Hey, the OP asked for bold ideas. Ell Prez gave some. The Ravens don't have a ton of money and they will most likely not be able to bring
back both Madubuike and Pierce. They might be able to only afford Pierce. I think tagging and trading Tee for Josh Allen is more likely though.
We desperately need another pass rusher besides Trey, I know Hubbard was hurt and Murphy was a raw rookie but we only have Trey for this
next year unless we extend him again which I would like to do. He doesn't look like he is slowing down any anytime soon.
Hendrickson is here 2 more years. When they extended him before the season he still had 2023 and 2024 on his contract. They added an additional year 2025 with the extension. He will be here the next 2 seasons.
Pierce was extended for another two years and it wont be that big a cap hit, 4.2 million in 2024 and 2.8 million in 2025 so he is taken care of. While I would love to have Madubuike, the Ravens are not going to let a young upcoming DT like that get away. They will find a way to keep him.
The problem with tagging Tee is that Tee would need to sign the franchise tag 1st. You cant trade him until he is actually under contract. He could wait until the beginning of the 2024 before he signs so a trade at that point is not as likely. The Bengals really messed up bad by not trading Tee last spring when there was a bunch of interest and they could have got some nice draft picks. Duke and the rest of the front office screwed that one up.
