When will the compensatory picks for this year be released? We should get two 4ths for Ellerbe and Kruger and a 5th for Ed Reed.

Let's get Alex Mack and draft a Tackle and we'll be in business

Considering Nicks got a 1 year deal we honestly got the better player for less considering both are short term arrangements. Only way you could argue Nicks was the better signing is if it were a long term deal. Heading into next season I would much rather have Steve Smith. That's why Ozzie is the man. Out maneuvering a competitive AFC team who is just as desperate for wr's and has like double the cap room.. now that's a good GM.

Money would be better spent on Alex Mack or a FS. Nothing against Wilfork but he's not a fit here.

I hope we still get a WR in the 1st or 2nd even if we sign Steve Smith. 1. Torrey 2. Steve Smith 3. Marlon Brown 4. Jacoby Wonder where a top rookie wr would fit in, hard to believe we re-signed Jacoby just for him to return kicks and be our 5th WR

Yeah Smith said his wife is pregnant and due in July (camp) and he wants to be there when his baby is born in Charlotte, an hour flight from Baltimore. Plus he get's to play the Panthers next year, the stars have aligned for him to be a Raven imo

He was in a run first offense, Smith obviously isn't in his prime but he can come play that Boldin role for us. Make the tough catches in traffic and move the chains. Released so he wouldn't count against compensatory picks, really fits our front office's MO. I bet Flacco get's him the ball a lot better then Cam could, the option/power running game took precedent in Carolina's offense last year and that no doubt hurt Smith's numbers. He brings that gritty, nasty, competitiveness that Boldin brought to the offense. The FA dominoes are falling, the cap is rising.. time to make some moves and I think the front office comes through tomorrow and makes it official.

If we can land Alex Mack I will do backflips around my house. Geno seems like a great guy but we need a solid Center. Monroe/ KO/ Mack/ Yanda/ Oher Now that would solve a lot of our woes on offense from last year

If we don't get a FS we want in Free Agency I wouldn't be all that surprised if we went after the bama boy Clinton-Dix in the 1st. Calvin Pryor is also a beast. They both fit Ozzie's description of an athletic safety. If we didn't sign Monroe I think we almost certainly would've gone after Lewan out of Michigan but now it looks more likely that we go WR or FS.

I like the hire. I think Jacoby will be back now for sure

If he tries to play beyond his means with yet another team some Ravens fans are going to start to resent him a little. Take a cue from Ray and know "when it's your time, it's your time". The ship sailed last February Ed, let us remember you for all the joy you brought us every sunday as the best ball hawk in NFL history.. you don't want to be remembered for playing as a shell of yourself and bouncing around teams. There's nothing left to prove, the pro bowls, a SB Championship, 1st ballot HOF'er, Ed has done everything an NFL player could ever dream of doing.

I really hope Ed retires. Seeing him potentially bounce around teams and play beyond is means is the last thing any fan of Ed's wants to see. A nostalgia tour as a Raven would've been great fan service but at the end of the day the team winning games is more important and it's been decided that bringing Ed back isn't whats best for our team at this point in the season. Ozzie was right about Reed the first time and it's becoming more evident every week that he was right about Boldin. Gotta trust the decision that was made here and move on.

Vet minimum. Understands his role as depth player and mentor for guys like Elam. I say welcome back 20. It would have to be on those terms though.

Those uni's aren't THAT ugly c'mon lol. The pants were pretty awful but the jerseys and helmet were fine given the majority of uni styles in the late 90's also look out dated by today's standards with the new sleek Nike uni's taking precedent over the bulky, poor fitting uni's/gear of yesteryear.
