Reading this makes me think you started watching the Ravens AFTER the superbowl run of 2012. Even the few Steelers fans that I know give Joe props for his role in bringing home the Lombardi. I'm not one to casually call people that I don't agree with trolls but this is just such a clueless statement I don't know what to think about you. Is it cold in Ohio this time of year? Hehe

I see your point but the only problem is that our secondary depth has been a joke and maybe paying him 1-2 mil less would be worth it even if just to have somebody reliable step in. Who is left on our roster? Canady, Huff and .... did we resign levine? I seriously dont know who is left after we make cuts and whoever it is are they worth letting webb go? When Jimmy misses a couple games next season who will stop the bleeding? Shift young to cb with s help like last year. There is still value in keeping webb

So painfully obvious I don't understand why people continue to complain. I know that jimmy gets hurt a lot but the difference on defense when he is playing compared to when he is out is undeniable. That Giants game last year should have shown fans the truth. He shut down Odell in the first half, then was out for the second half and Beckham went off on us. Night and day. Jimmy stays healthy last year and we would have probably won the division. He is that big of a difference maker. And we definitely could have used him to cover dez in dallas the following week.

Maybe and I'm sure many will agree with you but looking at our depth in the secondary and the fact that Webb can play both Safety and CB I would much rather negotiate a pay reduction and bring him back as a backup. Webb may not be as good as he was a few years ago but at least he is a consistent, solid player. He is also a true Raven and has a lot of experience in our system. Always been a team player, never complained and is active in the community. It's just my opinion but I say Webb retires a Raven.

You are grim

Keeping Webb for depth at a reduced salary would be great. So much better than the typical scrubs we have. He is consistent.

That would be amazing. Like it or not we all know the road to the SB goes through foxborough. A top tier secondary that forces NE to run more can only help us get to where we want to be.

Negative nelly 😀

Well that's unexpected. I thought for sure he would be snatched away and we would end up with a warm body in pads bscking up Joe. Great signing. I wonder how long the contract is for

My God why is the team official website the most negative place on the entire Internet to discuss the ravens, short of a Steelers forum. I'm almost glad they're closing down the message board so I'm not tempted is read this crap

This is how the ravens operate in free agency. They never make a big splash in the beginning just be patient there will be more roster cuts as the off-season progresses and Ozzie will find some players that fit our needs

What are you talking about? Weddle had a fantastic season and was ranked as the #1 safety in the entire league by pff.

I'm the last person to take up for Flacco but I think it is more a factor of a line of bad contracts and bad luck. This year will still see Monroe taking 4.4 million in dead money. I would rathet pay Flacco 24 million to start 16+ games this season than pay Monroe 4.4 million to sit on the couch. Past few years have been plagued by dead money from Pitta, Rice, Monroe, Ngata, ect.

Also keep in mind that Wagner gets a LOT of help from Yanda. Some of those highlights showing Marshall bumping, picking and blocking 3 guys on 1 play are just incredible. Amazing athlete and we are so lucky to have him. Wagner may do well elsewhere but it's far from guaranteed. Yanda is the key, not Wagner.

It's a shame to lose 3 of our higher level guys and we will feel the loss but no way is Ricky Wagner worth top tackle money. Williams is a beast and great person but his lack of pass rush makes him more expendable and definitely not worth what he will probably get paid by some aweful team with no run defense. Too one dimensional. Juice could be a very unique and dynamic player on another team that knows how to use him. That team is not the ravens and therefor is not worth more than the 2 mil a year FB typically get paid. I wish all of them well but the Ravens will be better off allocating that money elsewhere. The loss of Orr may be the biggest hole to fill. Hopefully KC is up for it this year.

Problem is that those 5-7 round picks don't carry enough value to move much in rounds 1-4. I do agree with you that we need to shore up the Oline and then hit the draft hard on defense.

Thoughts on using Reynolds as Joe's backup? Seems more plausable than him actually becoming a starting WR doesn't it?

The past 3 seasons have shown me 2 things. 1. The way Harbaugh kept our team fighting to the last second of every game in the second half of 2015 when we had nothing to play for showed me he is a highly skilled motivator. 2. The high caliber offense we had in 2014 showed me just how important an OC is and how few really good ones there are available. We may never see another coordinator like Kubiak again. It was eye opening.

I'm dreaming a little but... Let Bwill walk Resign Wagner Let juice walk. Dixon is just as versatile 🤞 Sign Marshall Sign Hightower Draft a CB round 1 Draft a Rusher round 2 Sign Mangold or draft a big C Round 3 Draft a S round 3 BPA rest of the draft Question is, do we realistically have the cap space for those 3 guys and does the draft board set up in a way that makes this possible. The Hightower signing is probably a stretch.

You know it's bad when you get neg'd for saying to stay positive. Haha Fixed it for you

The drug that ruins lives here is the one that is legal and comes to you from a prescription pad. It's literally heroin in a pill. Money money money.

At least now he can work at foot locker like he always wanted.

I completely agree. I feel Lewis would be fine at RT which would create an easier to fill hole at LG. It would be great if Wagner returned but you have to concider that Yanda helps to make him look better than he may be on another team. I'm confident Stanley will be even better next year and will help take some of the pressure off of the LG possition whoever that may be.

You must be a new member of the flock so I say, Welcome to Ravens nation. Even though I am critical of Flacco lately he has a history of being the exact opposite of the player you are describing. Historically Joe Flacco has been cold out of the gate in the first half only to heat up as the game goes on. Any long time fan always had optimism if we were down after half time and we always and I mean always have faith that he would win the game if he had the ball last and we were only down 1 score. He used to be very reliable at the end of games.

I have been hearing this since the day Joe signed his contract. "You just wait until the next QB signs his deal, then you'll see Flacco is only getting the going rate for NFL QB's". Well it's been 4 long years and every QB in the league has signed a new contract since Joe in 2013. Not one, not two, EVERY QB IN THE LEAGUE. But your right, I'm sure Romo and Cutler will be the highest paid QB's in the league this year. Wow.
