Most fans on Ravens boards think of trading him only for a first or a player like Campbell/Linder and a second round pick (from us to them), some even mentioned a package with Ngakoue and our first for Judon and Hurst lol.
On Jaguars boards some don't even want to think about trading for him if not for a 7th round pick or something. Both excessively biased lol.

Regardless of how fans view compensation (and I didn't want Hurst in the first round 2 years ago when it was rumoured we would draft him if available) pretty much all Ravens fans are pleased with the guy and most of them seem to think he would thrive on another team where he'd be the primary TE. Most of them say his production suffered from being behind Andrews and having Boyle playing so much( because of his elite blocking) but they are pleased with the way he played, his athleticism, hands and potential. They absolutely don't want to get rid of him for cheap and most of them believe in him to be a really good TE in the league.

Personally I don't want to give day1-2 draft capital away for him as he already played 2 years on his rookie contract (which could drive his price down)  but I am not opposed to see if they can work something out for relatively cheap price (2020+2021 day 3 picks or something, would have been ideal if we didn't throw away the extra 5th rounder for Dobbs) or with a player exchange. His cap would be lower than guys like Swaim was last year and he has the potential to help right away despite his lack of production so far.

With the depth of this year draft at some position round 1-4 picks will be valuable to have some potential starters on a rookie contract and would rather keep them.
