Juviebest

he is . he has 4 visits this week to go with the ravens deal on the table.

Well that's a bummer, I want him back but only at the right price of course.

Streeter is not on the roster anymore and I think another team scooped him up. It also doesn't look like Jacoby will be back since he is getting a lot of interest.

Where did you see JJ is getting a lot of interest? Just curious because I haven't seen anything besides our standing offer.

I think Alex Mack is overrated.

How come Trent Richardson had a dismal year behind such a promising O-line.

Trent's rookie year showed much promise, but this year everything fell apart.

Trent is a bad running back that's all. He was injured a bunch his rookie year, what promise?

Cortland Finnegan?

No thanks, he was awful last year and at this point is just a name.

He was a fill in guyfor a few games because Peter Konz sucked...(remember all the mock drafts on these boards that wanted us to draft Konz a few years ago in the first round?) lol hawley is more of a reserve lineman and we already have plenty of those.

He'd take Jah Reid's spot that's for sure.

With all this talk about Corey Graham being linked to the Giants and Redskins I think he might be gone. Although Redskins are closing in on Talib apparently (Rotoworld).

Might need to nab a cheap CB to compete with Chykie and Asa.

Almost forgot about Antonio Smith from the Texans, he could be a solid under the radar signing a la Canty last year and he obviously has a built in relationship with our new OC. We could really use him as a situational pass rusher, would help soften the loss of Art in that regard.

Saw the Bucs are negotiating with Anthony Collins so there is their LT.

What do y'all guys think about us picking up Antonio Cromartie as CB to go along with Webb and Smith?

Maybe a one year deal to see if he can get back to 2012 form before the hip injury riddled 13 season.

Is Jared Veldheer honestly worth $55M? I just read he got an offer for that much. Thats ridiculous and might be the reason Monroe is being so greedy.

That was a false report.

I don't think he'll underachieve, but I don't think he is, nor ever will be, a pro-bowl/top-5 talent like Jake Long or some other tackles are/have been.  His best years in the league are already behind him, so whoever gets him will be getting what's left of his prime and the downslope of his career.  Which is part of the reason I think this is dragging out - the front office will just not pay him a top salary and run the risk of his play declining significantly at the tail end of it ala Jamal Brown or Marcus McNeill.

Jake Long is not a top 5 talent...vastly overrated.

I don't even know what to think anymore...

We'll need a new guard if KO can't return let alone return to his previous level of play, it's not an ACL tear, back injuries are complicated. Gino is not a starting quality centre, he's the main reason our offense stalled last season.

There was just an update from Harbs on KO last week saying how well he was doing and he was at the castle training. He'll be fine. The money that Monroe and POTENTIALLY a new center would cost is a moot point with the cap being increased this season and the upcoming seasons as well.

We get one of those picks back if we let him go to Free Agency........it would be the best move Oz has made in two years.

That Daryl Smith signing last year was awful wasn't it?

Monroe will get a big deal...so deal with it.

I'd strongly consider keeping Arthur Jones because you could potentially eliminate Ngata with him in a couple years if Ngata continues to have these crazy performances. That is if the team feels like Jones will get better. We may consider him a better compensatory return than a re-sign.

That would work if the Eugene contract (assuming there is one) has a low first year cap hit. Free up a little more money for Art and Daryl. It'd be perfect.

Exactly, not to mention Gaither.

Pssshhh....comparing Gaither and Mac to Monroe? Sure thing hoss.

No deal imminent between Ravens, Dennis Pitta, nothing changed from Sunday update as negotiations continue: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-sources-ravens-meet-with-dennis-pittas-representatives-as-negotiations-continue-20140223,0,27795.story …

There is interest from other NFL teams in Dennis Pitta, per sources, if he hits free agency. March 3 NFL deadline to use franchise tag

 

And if he hits free agency, some team will most likely over pay. Better to get a deal done now without having to use the tag which would be over paying for one year...just not worth it.

No question he's the better player. Especially in the long-term. By the sounds of it Art could command upwards of 5m a season somewhere; we will not be paying him that.

I think we could afford $5 a year but Art is going to get $7-8 I think.

"So far, Suggs refuses to comment. He basically went underground along with his game in the second half of last season, and has stayed there except for sightings at Miami Heat games where he wishes he was LeBron James."

Thanks for proving once again to be a major a-hat Mike Preston.

If Monroe walks I really wouldn't mind seeing that dude Collins come in from Cincy. He was stellar in pass protection last season at LT but Whitworth wants to play LT and not LG. Shouldn't command too much money either.

Ozzie is doing what he always does, waiting and building the best team possible by simply being patient.

True. It's what he does every off season. Waits for the first wave of players to get signed and over paid, then scoops up the bargain vets.

Be patient everyone.

Bengals just became the best team in the AFC North

Then become a Bengals fan because obviously you aren't a "ravensuperfan".

Jerry Jones may have an epidemic on his hands, his Cowboys may become the new Bengals! NT Jay Ratliff was arrested for DWI early Tuesday morning after he crashed his truck into an 18 wheeler. Ratliff and the driver are ok and were not injured thankfully.

More info. Ratliff apparently refused a breathalyzer test but appeared drunk and officers took him in where they drew blood from him.

http://www.rotoworld...for-dwi-tuesday

Guess he didn't learn anything after drinking and driving by one of his team mates killed another team mate. Unbelievable.

I'm in no way condoning what he did, but I'd take a flyer on him when/if he gets released. Boys are switching to a 4-3 which doesn't fit Ratliff, now with the arrest after JJ and him had an argument during the season, it looks like he'll be released. 1 year deal? Yes please.
