You may actually be correct. I think we're gonna wait till additional cuts from teams as the off season prods along.

I see Arthur Brown as a prime candidate to send to SF in a trade.

Will they make 92 avaiable to D-linemen??

That is truly an awesome price for what we're getting supposedly!!

Yeah thanks! I just saw that too. I wonder why then Lewis' numbers aren't released yet?

Foxworth really wasn't that bad his first year or so. But, Huff was terrible. No, I don't think they are about to reveal numbers quite yet, because of competitive advantage situations. They want free agents and their agents to believe they have adequate cap space to sign them if need be. The didn't even release numbers on Canty yet.

Nice article indeed. Makes you proud to be a Raven's fan!

And what exactly are we doing to bolster our depth at DT? So far, we have let good quality DTs go to other teams and we are sitting here with no additions.

I heard and so another one gone. Hmm... don't know front office thought process right now.

The thing that is somewhat frustrating about the Ravens inaction in free agency, especially given the number of high quality departures is this. We cannot look at our team in isolation because we play in a competitive sport. We have to be able to look at our team in comparison to the other teams in the AFC. Most teams in the AFC are getting better with quality players and depth by spending on good free agents. The Chargers, Texans, Bills, Dolphins, and the Colts come to mind immediately. The Bengals, Browns and even the Steelers are making deals with impact players. This is why our inactivity worries me somewhat. Added to that despite the number of picks we may have in this draft, none are high picks because we pick near the end of each round. Anybody else have any thoughts?

As bad as Matt Elam was, he is cheap to retain and understands our defense (hopefully) by now, to be of some use this year. So, talking about him with much negativity isn't going to help. Instead, let's all hope he comes into his own this year and has an epiphany regarding his tackling and coverage skills and becomes productive.

I don't think the Ravens would sign this guy to a 3 yr deal if they didn't believe he helps our secondary immediately, especially considering he was a free agent and wasn't released. His signing actually cancels out one of our free agent losses with regard to compensatory picks.

So, that alone would make it difficult for the Ravens to consider him no? Or do you think with the passage of time and no takers, he may realize he isn't going to get paid and may sign a 'prove it' one year deal? Given his Achilles injury perhaps if not anything else?

Granted. But, how is he as a locker room presence. Any particular reason why Torrey was signed in SF instead of resigning Crabtree? Curious to know the answers to these.

BJ Raji anyone??

When I first heard he had backed out of Houston, I was happy. Now that he has signed with Houston, strangely I am not so sad.

Got it.

5M a year? That is a little high for a 32 yr old corner no? Unless of course we sign him to a two year deal with one year guaranteed and an option for the next year... Then again, we are under the hook to pay Webby much more than that already and he doesn't show signs of wanting to take a pay cut either.

Amen! Couldn't agree more.

I want him badly! Based on his earlier pressers and comments, he has a ton of respect for the Ravens, so my gut tells me he'll be more than happy to be a Raven!

At his age? I thought Webb was younger than Williams no?

Where did you hear this? Music to my ears! Edit: I just saw the link - thanks!

I know. It was less than a coincidence I think. We weren't as interested in Scott Chandler as the media made it out to be, it turns out! So Ozzie Awesome is fine in my book as always!!

Looks like Wilfork is much more comfortable going to Houston given his familiarity with that staff. As for Raji, I read a report that he was doing really well in the gym and has some power back in his legs and hips. Squatted 1100 lbs evidently! So, he might be a good 'prove it' kind of signing this year.

NE seems to target and get every player we seem to want. What's up with that Ozzie?
