Made me smile. Would love to keep the big man.

Lollllll Aaron Rodgers sees this and is like 'Yeah... I need a raise'

Torrey signed for that much in San Francisco and he had a much better body of work than Woods. Crazy how much some guys are getting.

Totally agree. Shouldn't be that expensive, either. A 2-3 year deal would be fair.

Agree. Maybe make CB plural, too. Also they'll look to add some safety depth, could mean re-signing Levine too.

To be honest, him going there makes a ton more sense than here. Still love and appreciate him, though.

Yeah or a role as a reserve but he's already accepted a paycut/restructure and a position change. Is it asking too much of him? Will he balk?

Absolutely. We saw that last year. There's only one football.

Yeah, he definitely had the ability. I was always a proponent of that, too.

True. Other teams saw that potential and he had a really good year, the market timed just right for him

Yeah, almost impossible for the Ravens to match. They probably saw that and visions of comp picks danced in their eyes lol Treat him well, San Fran!

That would be ideal, for sure.

I would... for the right price. He adds vet insurance behind Suggs. Only downside would be if he keeps Judon and Smith (who they hope will rebound) off the field - plus anyone they draft.

If this goes through, how can you not be excited? Just watched some videos on the guy. The highlights are impressive - as they should be - but more interesting is his passion for the game and leadership role on that defense. Now, keep him of ST (where he hurt his MCL last season) and we'll be rolling! Only sad part is that this probably means a Webb cut.

Bah bah bah bah bah - I'm lovin' it!

Foundation crumbling, roaches run abound, short, arrogant ghost living in the attic but, hey, we put a new beige carpet in!

Don't remember the details, I trust your telling - sounds like a Yanda move lol. I'm not ruling it out, either, but it would be unwise for the player not to hear the offers at this point. Pains me to say that because I have a rooting interest and I like our players. We'll see, won't be long.

Absolutely they do - tomorrow is the 'legal tampering' where teams can offer contracts to other players. They'll know what the market is at that point and the Ravens will know what they have to do to counter-offer.

Definitely. Fits the blue-collar mentality and is a gregarious leader. He's the one I hope they keep the most. Juice SHOULD be retained, he shouldn't command a huge deal, but the Ravens have let other FBs walk then drafted instant replacements. Juice is actually an exception because they had to bring back Leach after the embarrassing goal line drills.

Then you get stuck with him at 45 stars and a single tear rolls down your cheek

Patriots S Tony Jefferson 13 stars

Patriots CB Dre Kirkpatrick 9.5 stars

A lot of them look like former players at the pro or college levels. Some worked with other teams or with the Ravens on different quality control functions. It looks like they do all positions and the 'regions' looks like the correlate to NCAA conferences, a lot of the time. There is some overlap, they have guys split the Southeast, Southwest, and Midwest regions as well as two national scouts. It does seem like a lot. Maybe they get guidance from the top level guys? A lot of what they do is forge connections with players, coaches. Some of them set up meetings with the team. I wish I did know a little more about it because it seems kind of ambiguous to describe.

No, didn't take it that way, no worries. I won't pretend I know it all. I'm not sure exactly how deep the top level guys go, particularly Ozzie. He's got a lot to juggle with roster management so that definitely consumes time he could devote to scouting. Does he only look at the top guys? Controversial guys? Ones we're more likely to get? Not sure on that. From interviews and press conferences, I do know that he likes to collect everyone's input before deciding something. Sometimes, he'll stay to what he knows - drafting JO over Phillips or Reed over Lito Sheppard despite owner complaints/questions - but I imagine, like anyone, he can be swayed. Sorry, man, good luck with that star cruiser lol

That's interesting. If they thought Campanaro was a viable alternative to guys like Edelman and Sanders, they shouldn't have waited until round 7 (having to trade back into the draft) to get him - regardless of if he actually panned out or not. Was Keith Wenning more valuable than that? Hindsight is 20-20 but in the third round they took Terence Brooks while Donte Moncrief and John Brown were available.
