The Ravens also only have $92m in cap commitments for 2022 right now, so they can kick the can down the road a bit more.

Of course that all is dependent upon if they blow up their team by signing Lamar Jackson to a huge extension, which they might have to do despite his huge postseason red flags and lack of passing game.

Ravens need to just accept they're a running/defense team that just needs a game manager, and get a king's ransom for Jackson by someone foolish enough who doesn't have a great running game and spectacular defense already. Last two years the Ravens have had 2 700+ yard (5.0 YPC) RBs each each that aren't named Lamar Jackson. They also haven't had a defense that isn't Top-3 since 2017.

The Ravens situation with Brown was not the main discussion of this thread, I think I even said they probably pay him.

But, we play 50% of our games in 2021 against team who right now have cap problems, one the Lions also has no good receivers under contract. How do they keep them? Other like Packers have a very good running back that may hit the FA since they can't afford him.

The point being is those in cap hell, have a lot of work to do to stay competitive in 2021, teams like the Chiefs are deep and not as big a deal, but they too will have to make some tough calls.
