Ravens accept. There's a lot going on here, so I apologize in advance to those voting and to whoever has to update the trade on the spreadsheet if it passes. Despite the strong teams in the AFC North, I believe my defense provides me with a solid floor and adding a few offensive pieces should absolutely keep me competitive within the division. This trade absolutely tanks my cap space (lose $23.5M) but I acquire what would now be the three best players on my offense in this deal.
The losses of Thomas, Bolton, and Cisco are most significant as Lamar Jackson, pick 1.29, and pick 3.01 should probably be returning more value than I'm receiving in this deal. Unfortunately the trade market around here is completely dead so acquiring my entire offense from one team was about the only chance I had at adding the depth that was needed to be competitive. Still happy with the pieces I am receiving in return here, though.
