Guys and Dolls, believe it or not I will really miss y'all so much! I think this is the best website and forum out of all the 31 other NFL teams. It has never been an imposition on my time and has always been my pleasure to moderate this site for you. I truly enjoyed it. If we may have been at odds on a violation or two, know it was never personal. As a former high school teacher, I can assure you my skin is pretty thick, lol. The passion y'all have for the game and this team have been what has driven this site to be one of the best. I thank you for that.
As a fan, I have developed many friendships and acquaintances over the years that have enriched my personal life, my experience as a fan of football and more specifically our Ravens. I thank you for that as well. After all is said and done when it comes down to the end...it is about memories, football and family. I can honestly say that I have and always will consider y'all part of my family. Wherever you pop a squat after the forums close I wish you the best and thanks for the memories! ![]()
Warmest wishes,
Grapple Raven
P.S.: I love my state, history, football and a good sense of humor, so if you'll indulge me I'll leave ya with these parting images and thoughts:
I think losing Coach Frazier is going to hurt a lot.

I haven't been on the computer today, so I haven't checked today's news, but the article indicated that the new policy was written May 1st and would go into effect at that time. At the time of the article Keenan couldn't be reached for comment as to how it would effect his military status. If you find out anything could you please post a link, thanks.
I don't know how much he could add to the offense, but Keenan Reynolds might not be available according to this article. The policy Keenan was under was rescinded yesterday and Keenan couldn't be reached for comment as to how this order will affect his military status.

According to this article Keenan may not be so lucky either, maybe too early to know. Policy was rescinded yesterday May 1, 2017 and Keenan couldn't be reached for a response as to the new orders effect on his military status.

I do so miss the ole' days getting into the red zone and throwing a pass to someone actually open in the end zone catching it for a TD, lol.
It has been a while. As much as I love Tucker, it is overwhelming the number of times we just settle for FG's, granted 3 pts. is better than nothing, but ya know what I mean, lol. I would just love to see my ole' Ravens offense on the field.
WR Bug Howard (UNC) got picked up. I think by the Colts.
Panther got Boulware.
A couple of teams are pretty quiet at this point about releasing info. and the Ravens are one of them.
Check out this thread to see who has gone so far: http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/73091-2017-udfa-signings-non-ravens/

Last refresh shows the Ravens haven't made any picks yet.

Refresh constantly as it updates quickly.
Offensive guard Geoff Gray to Green Bay Packers as undrafted free agent signing
From Aaron Wilson
Missouri State linebacker Dylan Cole:
Aaron Wilson added,
Tyler Ferguson (QB, Western Kentucky) is signing with the Tennessee Titans. Talented passer who transferred from Penn State & Louisville.
Wouldn't mind the Ravens taking a shot at Boulware either.
I like WR Bug Howard, UNC. He is a jr. with a lot of upside, good route runner and hands.
Broncos take QB Chad Kelly.
