Was a little surprised that Castillo is leaving his buddy John although, I didn't know that he wasn't under contract here for 2017. I just find it funny that we are bringing in Buffalo's former OC and Juan is heading to Buffalo.

It's sad that they couldn't come to an agreement on a stadium there. Either way I still think the Chargers should have relocated to Mexico. The NFL seems to want to expand there anyway.

Congrats to the Harbaughs. Words of advice for young John, don't get involved in football. We can't handle any more Harbaugh's coaching. lol

I 'm glad that Yanda has decided to sit the pro bowl out. It's a meaningless game to begin with. Much rather see him address his injury issue now and begin his rehab earlier in the year.

I really want to see the team go all in on building the Oline this season. Everything we want to do on offense begins with our line.

I'm a little surprised to hear that Castillo is moving on and I found it a little strange that it coincided with the Roman signing but, after a little research I found that Castillo wasn't under contract for the 2017 season. So I guess the writing was on the wall.

Ozzie has only one position that truly haunts him and that is WR, imo. He has never been able to hit on a young, true playmaking receiver and I believe they really need to take a hard look for the reasons why and address them.

You won't find a better owner in the league than Bisciotti. What helps him to be so great at it is the fact that he is a fan first and foremost. True he's a billionaire that owns a professional football team but, he is a humble guy just like the rest of us. Wouldn't want anyone else owning this team.

I still believe that Roman is a very good selection to help our run game once the Oline is addressed. This, along with someone who can assist Flacco with his mechanics and help him with the mental aspects of the game will certainly move this offense in the right direction.

One of three things is going to result here. Either we will become worse, stay the same or improve. The latter is what I choose to believe as I see that they understand our needs. They realize we have to build our Oline and are making it a  priority as nothing will improve on offense without it. I also see they understand that they must create cap room in order to fill the main positions of need at WR, OLB and CB. I expect that they will accomplish what is necessary to move forward and show improvement. 

I pulled into the parking lot a few years ago just to get a look at the Castle. I was met by numerous guards requiring me to turn around and leave the premises before i even came close to the building. Security is right up there with the White House, although no guns.

Nothing will change overnight and we have to find a way to get better playmakers here. Build both sides of the ball starting with the lines and go from there.

Building a beast of an Oline is where we begin. It will help the run game as well as the passing attack so that we can be more balanced. Adding a few more weapons wouldn't hurt as well.

I don't agree with Bisciotti's idea of a stout defense with a balanced offense. The league, as a whole has gotten away from that model for some time. Offense is what will put fans in the seats and increase the fanbase. Play to win the game by putting points on the board with building a strong offense. Too long we have settled for the defense trying not to lose the game.

As a PSL owner, I can say that I am thankful for them holding prices down over the last few years. I can also say that I'm not happy hearing this at a time when the team is struggling to show a winning team on the field with any consistency.

If the rumors are true, Roman coming here would be a good thing for our run game once the team finishes building the Oline. Not sure what the team is expecting to get as a running back. We have brought RB's in every year since Rice left but we keep looking for them in the middle rounds, when you'll only find "game changers" at the top of the draft.

Why would Zorn want to come back to a place where he was fired (for no good reason that we ever heard)?

Was thinking the same thing. Obviously, something happened here that led to his firing and the only one that remotely seemed interested in his staying was Flacco. I wouldn't think for second that Zorn would consider coming back here, even if Harbs wanted him, which I doubt.

Hypothetical question here but let's say we 2nd round tender Orr as expected and which I agree, btw. Let's say a team puts in a bid on him. Do you match the bid and keep him or let him go and get that 2nd round pick? 

Good question! I feel it will depend on the offer that is made. Orr did a good job alongside of Mosley, together they made a strong tandem. Still, I can't see us getting into a bidding war over him if it came to that.

Both of these backs can produce and will only get better with a stronger OL in front of them. Resign Wagner and draft a top Center along with some good backups will help.

Yes, it was a good draft since we were able to get more than one player producing on the field. Yet still, there are issues with our 2nd and 3rd round selections that we must get better at. We can't afford to keep picking up projects during these rounds.

Here we are again with the who stays, who goes. The Ravens have to create some serious coin to help build this roster. We can't bring in playmakers without it. Everyone knows they will do whatever they need to to make that happen. It's best to just sit on the fence and wait to see how it all plays out.

Flacco still completed 61.3% of his passes with 177 touchdowns, and when the team was in high gear, he had enough stuff do his part in the team Super Bowl victory in 2000.

Wow, Flacco has two rings? That's a HOF QB right there! 

Couldn't agree more with the article. We've been saying it for years now. Since Jimmy was selected, the team has SETTLED for value free agents and late round selections hoping on a wing and a prayer that they could find someone to step up and it's never happened. You reap what you sow. If you want to fix the issues and keep it CHEAP, you have to spend multiple high draft picks on the position all while fixing the damn pass rush.

LB because there's nothing better than jacking someone up and ripping their head off. (Yeah, I know I have issues)

Anyone but the Patriots!!!

How could you possibly hate on a legend like Brady smh. Years ago i used to not like the patriots a lot. Mainly because they were just TOO GOOD. But now, since Ray Lewis' retired, I have grown appreciation for Brady. Whether we like it or not, Brady is a legend, and we should be thankful to watch a legend like him play possibly his final season.

Lol, really? Ok, I'll answer your question. It's simple as I have no, none, zilch respect for his smug, sniveling, whining, crying, cheating, lying personality, who thinks he's God's gift to the game while the media dangles from his jock.
