According to a report, there’s a new viral rumor that Cooper could be holding out as training camp is around the corner so it’ll be interesting to see how deep he will go.

Ravens rookie CB T.J. Tampa to miss start of training camp after hernia surgery
The Baltimore Ravens have their entire team at training camp, but they kicked off Day 1 without two key rookie contributors: Adisa Isaac and cornerback T.J. Tampa. Tampa could miss time to start his first training camp after having off-season hernia surgery. Ravens rookie CB T. J. Tampa had hernia surgery after minicamp. So Tampa, who is on PUP list, will be sidelined for few more weeks — Jeff Zrebiec (@jeffzrebiec) July 21, 2024 Tampa started every game for the Cyclones the past two seasons and was named to the first-team All-Big 12 squad as a senior after recording 44 tackles, nine passes defended, and a pair of interceptions. Baltimore doubled up at cornerback because the value was too good, selecting Tampa out of Iowa State in the fourth round. The former Iowa State defensive back offers elite range, size, and leaping ability. The Ravens have their projected starting cornerbacks in Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Stephens, but Tampa will compete for snaps with Nate Wiggins, Arthur Maulet, and others. Tampa and Wiggins were roommates at the Combine and got to know each other.

Roquan Smith played a key role in Ravens signing Eddie Jackson
Once Eddie Jackson started getting linked with a move to Baltimore, you instinctively knew that Roquan Smith would factor in the decision. After all, Smith and Jackson were Chicago Bears teammates from 2018 to 2022. And the NFL is just like every other job search process—sometimes, you just have to have the right references. With training camp opening up on Saturday, Smith met the media, and a reporter asked if he could put in a good word for Jackson with General Manager Eric DeCosta. “Yes, I always tell the truth,” he answered. Jackson, who signed a one-year deal, is not the same player as...
