The Ravens are of course among those teams, and it looks like they may be ready to announce a fairly significant one:Fans who read through the first sentence of Zrebiec’s tweet wouldn’t be crazy for thinking it might end with the name C.J. Mosley, but it appears Young (who was still under contract for 2019) is the first domino to fall ahead of the official opening of free agency. A follow up tweet from Zrebiec indicates it’s a part of a specific strategy by new GM Eric DeCosta:The details of the deal were later leaked by ESPN’s Adam Schefter:Around 8.5 million a year is a starting-player type figure, which probably speaks to the future plans they have for Young beginning this season. It also may signal the end for Jimmy Smith, who’s had an up and down tenure with the team since signing his last big extension.Regardless of the relatively significant figure, this is a smart maneuver, especially in the context of it being a part of that new philosophy by DeCosta. Too often the Ravens have allowed players to ascend to max value before locking up their services at a reasonable rate, and hopefully Young represents the first example of Baltimore buying in on rising stock rather than overpaying for aging talent or allowing their homegrown stars to walk away in their prime.This is an especially deft move to make as they have one of the strongest cornerback rooms in the league and Young is among one of their more underrated (and younger) contributors. Him, Marlon Humphrey, and possibly Anthony Averett could all be some very nice pieces to build around for the next several years.As far as the Mosley situation (and other players such as John Brown and Za’Darius Smith) this doesn’t necessarily preclude them from engaging in talks with those players. In fact, this helps their cap in the long term by locking up Young at solid value, and potentially shows they already have their plans for how they would like to allocate their resources before free agency officially opens.For more on this situation as well as other Ravens related transactions, be sure to keep checking back with Baltimore Beatdown as we approach the new league year.

The Steelers dropped their third game in a row on Sunday, losing to the Raiders on the road in an upset defeat. Their loss opened the window for Baltimore to seize the division lead, but the Ravens failed to capitalize and fell to the Chiefs in heartbreaking fashion. However, Baltimore is still just a half game back and has a more favorable schedule than the Steelers. Elsewhere, the Browns earned another impressive victory and leapfrogged the Bengals for third place. Cincinnati dropped their fifth consecutive game. Chiefs defeat Ravens: 27-24 No “D” in Defense For much of Sunday’s game, the Ravens defense held their own against arguably the top offense in the league. Baltimore’s pass rush did a nice job flustering Mahomes and forced him into an errant interception throw in the third quarter. The Chiefs failed to score on their first three drives of the second half, a rare occurrence for a high-octane offense that averages 36.2 points per game. However, as we’ve seen many times before, the Ravens defense failed to come up with stops late in the game. On the Chiefs game-tying touchdown drive with just minutes remaining, the Ravens had two separate opportunities to retain possession and win the game. Kansas City converted on a 4th & 9
