0:00.0	Welcome into Lounge presented by Draft Kings.
0:07.4	A lot has gone on for the Ravens over President's Day weekend, and Garrett and I are here
0:12.8	to break it all down for you.
0:14.7	Garrett, let's start with the great news that the Ravens re-s signed or gave a contract extension to Nelson Aguilar for one year.
0:23.5	Bringing back the veteran wide receiver.
0:26.0	Not surprising update, but what was your take from that news?
0:29.6	Yeah, I mean, I think that whenever guys are poised to hit-free agency, there's no guarantees.
0:33.8	And we're going to get to that in a second.
0:35.5	And so getting a deal done with Aguilar, I think, was a really good move for this team. I think Aguilar is somebody who provides valuable depth.
0:43.3	I think when his number was called last year, he rose to the occasion most of the time and delivered
0:48.3	when the Ravens needed him in some key moments. I think that he's a proven vet, knows what it takes to win. I just liked what
0:55.6	the Ravens got from him. I thought he was a good fit culture-wise, chemistry-wise, and the locker
0:59.9	room players liked him. I thought he's a respected player. I think that he adds something to this

1:09.2	approach this offense. And, you know, there's questions
1:13.3	about this receiving core, again, about potential changes that they could go through over the
1:17.1	course of this offseason. Odell Beckham Jr.'s future is very much up in the air in terms of
1:21.5	whether he's back next year. But bringing back Aguilar, I think, gives you a proven piece and at a good
1:26.9	cost. I mean, this isn't like it's a massive contract for him. So I thought it made sense, I think, gives you a proven piece and at a good cost. I mean, this isn't like
1:28.1	it's a massive contract for him. So I thought it made sense. I think he enjoyed his time here.
1:32.7	The Ravens liked having him here. This was just a move that in my mind made a lot of sense,
1:37.1	and it's good to see the Ravens get that deal done. Yeah, I mean, really, last year the Ravens overhaul their wide receiver core this year it wasn't going to take
