Marlon Brown @ 6'5".

A guy who spends more than 10 seasons with one organization can't be too much of a problem... Guys with real issues usually wander around from city to city - see TO or Randy Moss... This guy has spent all his career so far the same place - that must say a lot about how tolerable he is...

... and, my fellow Ravens-fans, just think about how much this signing may mean to our young receivers, like Brown, Mellette, Thompson and the ones we may draft in May... If there was something they were missing, it was a real veteran mentor - like Boldin for Torrey. Now they have one. I'm more than sure even Torrey will learn a lot from Steve Smith, just imagine how much the young ones are gonna learn...

Oh my, here we go again... Some people should really excercise some self-restraint and refrain from commenting on contract issues until they understand the cap system and why/how it makes it impossible - or highly impractical - to keep some palyers that would otherwise be golden to keep... Really, for heaven's sake, really? Boldin? Still?

What's the step back?

Sorry, but I'm, not sad about losing Oher... All the best to him in Tennessee.

I'm not sure we'll start the season with a rookie FS and a sophomore SS - but we'll see...

... plus Kubiak calling the play

TBH, I don't think Ozzie was seriously considering him ever. Too expensive. There are cheaper alternatives available - not as good as Mack, but good enough to give Gradkowski competition. And we still have to find a RT (assuming Oher walks - we don't know yet) and a FS. Both positions could be filled from within the house of course... And don't forget that we'll also have to contract the rookies - that must be crammed under the cap limit, too. So, i think Mack will stay put in Cleveland

According to our roster page it is.

Today we sign Smiths.

that, together wth your profile pic is just great

He had #89 in Carolina. According to our roster page, that number is currently unused for the Ravens... so, I presume there's a good chance that's gonna be his number...

He's just agreed with the Bucs, so he's off the board.

Yeah, the Smiths took the lead from the McClains - although the Jameel/Rolando/LaRon trio never played together...

Two seconds faster

"Steve Smith is a Raven, according to a league source" (source: Aaron Wilson @twitter)

Lamarr Woodley has signed with the Raiders. In his introductory presser he claimed that the Broncos won't win a Super Bowl in his lifetime, because they would have to go through the Raiders for that.

"NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported there obviously is mutual interest between Smith and the Ravens, but a source says nothing is imminent for Thursday." (nfl.com)

And how would you do all that and still stay under the cap limit?

Well, nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes - so, you don't trust anybody?

Well, who knows, he may even end up here...

Aha, I see.

Well, it definitely does sound like that...
