Hear me out.
No, seriously. Just hear me out because I know you’ve already clicked on this blog with a ‘oh boy, let’s see what this clown has to say’ mentality. After all, why would the Ravens trade with the Patriots? And why would they trade away Hayden Hurst, who is going into the 3rd year of his rookie deal?
