The number that Matt put out there is just all speculation.

Another (far fetched) scenario might be : Pick up the last top LT in FA (after week 1 whoever is left) which is likely to be Colins. Then draft Lewan/Zack. Have Colin rotate w/ our top pick. If Lewan/Zack pans out, we found a bargain and set us up with a solid depth w Colins.

Also B.Mac & Oher i suppose So there is some options left haha

So far the options for LT is: Collins, Veldheer, Monroe, Albert, Saffold. The teams that need LT are: Panthers, Cardinals, Dolphins, Ravens. Who else?

I would've never thought Monroe's contract would inflate this big after acquiring him last season. Having a Ravens logo on his jersey definately help his stock. There's noway Eugene could've been this big of a name if he was still arond in Jags.

I have a feeling our FO already has all the potential FA covered. Measured by measure on all players by how much we are willing to spend. We just have to see what happens next week.

Don't forget the brilliant move they made on grabbing Mike Wallace.

That clueless organization really never learns. At least we get a guaranteed 3rd round pick if that is the case..

The big players for Eugene are dolphins,cardinals,panthers. First two have enough salary to break the bank. Last one being Panthers are unloading bad players to grab one of top3 LT in FA. They are desperate enough to overpay. Don't be surprised if we lose Monroe.

Jeff ireland can gobble up all the FA he wants. Oh wait, his fired..

Just trying to lay out possible scenarios. I don't think spending +10m a year monroe is the best ideal situation either. His not a dominating LT. His a decent lineman that gives out a definite sacks here and there. I remember a game(forgot which one) last season where he gave away 3-sacks a game. That right there told me we 'can' do better. Monroe is not end all, be all. We can't break the bank and panic. This scenario kind of reminds of what happened when we grabbed Dominque Foxworth. A decent CB that was billed as a decent player. We panicked and overpaid b/c 'thats what the market was paying him' and we screwed a pooch on that one. Eventually we filled those secondary needs with drafts and trying other small name players via trade/FA. It worked...just saying.

Its in the realm of possibilities. With a pick @ 17, we could land Lewan

Suggs might be the biggest hero of this off-season: 7.8m free cap. JUST WOW. The man did his job to be a true team player for the ravens this year.

and Moriarty. His the contract negotiator. Ozzie usually makes the call on who to bring in/out in FA/draft

We're not going to pay a decent LT a 'mike wallace' type of money. Sorry, but our organization just will not be that reckless to spend a top 5 money on a decent LT. As of right now, his getting all the hype in the media being the "#1 FA" But our FO isn't willing to go Jeff Ireland on us. I'll support our FO and stick with believing that they have a plan for us. Don't lose hope folks!

Time and time again Ozzie finds a way to put the right pieces in. We had it worse than this, i'm not worried

calm down. you still got gino..

jerruh would love that

Monroe is wayyy overvaluing himself. Probably a reason why Jags dumped him b/c he won't accept an extension. He'll be tagged. Were not breaking banks for a decent LT.

"Pay the man" hasn't worked for us. Rather have ozzie/FO use every minute to deal until it comes to last resort(tag)

I think at worse we tag Monroe. We shelved 2 draft picks for Monroe. If he doesn't want to get a deal w/ us, then its too bad on him. He'll have to play under the tag or get a reasonable deal w/ us.

Ozzie won the war last year. The GM Ireland is fired. "Right price, right player" Were not going to be suckers on FA

Still no news about Monroe whatsoever. March 3 is very near...

Soon as we signed flacco to that ridiculous deal, every agent thinks Ravens can be dealt with their way. I never heard of any former Ravens filing for grievances. That linta deal made us look like fools

And no online = 2013 offense
