Ravens trade:
WR Keenan Allen $12,750,000 (2023) LB Za'Darius Smith $5,200,000 (2022) LB Kwon Alexander $5,000,000 (2021) QB Ryan Fitzpatrick $9,200,000 (2021)
Packers trade:
QB Tom Brady $21,450,000 (2021) WR KJ Hamler $1,500,000 (2022) RFA LB Christian Kirksey $7,300,000 (2023) LB Kyzir White $750,000 $5,000,000 (2024)
Ravens accept. First off, would like to congratulate Ryan on trading Tom Brady, it's really been four years in the making now but he was finally able to get a deal done. Second, I would like to publicly state how much I regret trading Lamar Jackson earlier this offseason. It's really been a huge mess trying to find a QB since then and this deal is no exception to that.
Trading Keenan Allen to get a 44 year old QB on huge franchise tag is far from ideal but my surprisingly deep WR group helped make that possible. I am able to get a QB without moving any draft capital and I do get a pair of upgrades at LB. I like Hamler too and maybe the Jeudy injury opens things up for him a bit more over the next few weeks. I'm undoubtedly trading the best player in this deal but I think I'm able to improve enough at QB / LB to help balance things out.

I accept. Everyone here said it would never happen. But the time has come. Brady is leaving town. This is obviously best case scenario for me to gain a top WR on a longer term deal for the pricey Brady.
I lose alot in LB production but I couldnt pass the chance to level up my WR corps.
