The NFL wouldn't let the Ravens have a Suggs/Dumervil/Ware combo. Too many sacks and QB injuries...so don't get any ideas haha.
OMG can you image ware, suggs and Doom all on the same team with ngata in the middle holy hell its injuryland all QB will be hurt..lol
Yea thats why I said in my original post that I wonder if we will cut Sam Koch, Jameel Mcclain, or Vonta Leach. I would think leach is a sure thing to be cut because it seems like we are set on using Juice as our Hback, maybe we are waiting on cutting Mcclain until after we see the fate of Daryl Smith. Im sure there will still be some notable cuts by other teams too, the Cowboys for example are 20M over the cap and will likely have to cut Damarcus Ware, Miles Austin and a few other players to get back into the positives.
yeah tough break for Demarcus ware ,man great pass rusher hey would he want to come on a certain team that coulde use his service lol.
Kind of makes me want to get an Eric Decker avatar ready haha but not really
but they also said there might be that many cap cas as many people might think. but we might have a a shot at Alex mack NOW (if he hits the market)
So the salary cap will be at $135M now?...anyone know if that has been confirmed? Makes me wonder how many more of our guys if any will be cap casualties.
not comfirmed yet but the cap could go as far up as that 135 million. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/2/25/5446844/2014-nfl-salary-cap-132-million-report
#Ravens and TE Dennis Pitta are making progress to a new deal, per sources. Nothing imminent. Sides have until March 3 before he gets tagged
Great news!
Lets just hope Eugene Monroe's player rep meets with Ozzie this weekend and starts hammering out a deal. I keep hearing that our guys also don't want to let Pitta hit the open market and are considering franchise tagging him. Maybe with this boost in cap space we could get them both, but you would think the best case scenario would be one or the other.
As long as we resign Monroe and grab one of either Pitta, Daryl Smith, or Art Jones I will be content.
oh Monroe agent and the ravens already started talking yesterday and will continue through out the combine because all agents will be there. and update the ravens have meetings with Jace Amaro and Eric Ebron tonight.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10487942/nfl-projected-raise-salary-cap-130-million
according to sources the cap goes up 5% to 130 million which every team now gets 7 extra million to there salary cap so i guest the ravens go from 16 to 23 million which now they can really sign monroe and (hopefully) Pitta.
I feel like its all about the market though...desperate teams will do what they do best and spend. I dont see him getting more than a 6 year $54M contract though. I think he might stay in Baltimore for $48M though
I was saying he makes around bushrod and will beaitty money around 6 years 38-40 million. paying 54 damn I don't see that either.

The Ravens explored trying to lower Haloti Ngata's $16 million salary-cap figure, but nothing came of it, according to a source
Ravens 'far apart' in ongoing talks with Dennis Pitta: http://www.baltimoresun.com/bal-ravens-far-apart-in-ongoing-pitta-talks-in-negotiations-with-several-free-agents-20140217,0,410017.story …
and ravens have started Negotatons talks with Eugene Monore!
"#Ravens want Eugene Monroe to return, but may not be able to afford. Teams will also pay more for Dennis Pitta to leave BAL"
If he leave then WTH was the point of giving up draft picks for him....
Elvis Dumervil is like i think i made he right choice on this one! lmao
MVP to the Entire Seattle Defense!
i'm saying it right now seattle scores one more time GAME OVER!
ok guys sherman is ok he got up and ran off.
Sherman hurt oh no here comes the broncos now!
Dont get me wrong, we hit the jack pot with kubiak. But if we hit the top 10 in offense this year he's leaveing to get a HC job the following year.
idk about that he signed a 3 year deal. but i think he's more of a OC than a HC just like Caldwell is a HC not a OC. plus from what i heard in the presser he wants to be here for a min.
John was going to give him the job, Steve said No....
yeah so he's going to the bills.
How could he possibly leave, he's a Harbuddy. Surprised Harbs didn't deny permisson lol
I heard he was really hurt by not getting the job of the ravens OC! so it was meant to happen.
This will be an amazing staff if we get it done:
Offensive Coordinator - Gary Kubiak
Quarterbacks - Rick Dennison
Running Backs - Bobby Turner
Tight Ends - Brian Pariani
Wide Receivers - Larry Kirksey
yes Bobby Turner is a great RB coach he would be awesome along with the ravens already hiring of Pariani.
Or more likely the Ravens deny Kubiak permission to take Dennison and promote him to OC. I think there is a reason he'll be the QB coach. Also the Ravens are a smart organization, if Kubiak's name starts to buzz I don't think they'll just allow all the guys who help build this offense to just walk out the door. There will be far too many coaches who will be able to teach this system, QB, WR, TE and RB coaches will probably be added and allow will bring be able to teach and run this offense in some type of capacity. So we'll have a OC in place should Kubiak get a HC job next year.
Also remember Dennison was getting some buzz this time last year as a HC candidate, so even if he is promoted to OC next year, it might only be a one year thing. I think we'll see some young coaches added as position coaches or offensive assistants to learn this system from Kubiak.
I think one thing that is going to be underrated with Dennison is he a Former O-line coach so he teaches how to make calls at the line for the center and the rest of the O-line and help them block which he will help Flacco with the right checks and audibles and O-line adjustments that he needs to make in game. i think thats one way Dennison can really help out flacco Greatly!
Dont know if anyone posted this yet but its some good insight on Kubiak that should be encouraging. Any chance we can pick up Winston?
In a Interview with WNST he said if Arizona doesn't sign him back He would love to reunite with Kubak in Baltimore.
Yeah he must've edited it. The format was completely different with RT lined up to the left of WR1 lol
#Ravens are planning on hiring Brian Pariani as their new TE coach. He was the #Texans TE coach under Kubiak #NFL #Baltimore
So when it was announced that Castillo would be the offensive line coach, Harbaugh wasn't kidding. Now I think he definitely stays in that position.
Kyle was WR coach for Kubiak so he could replace Jm Hostler there!

Wouldn't be shocked at all if the Ravens were able to extend TE Dennis Pitta prior to the franchise window closing, or shortly thereafter

If BAL had to franchise Pitta to buy time, so be it. But progressing enough that resolving it prior to grievance over tag looks promising

Ravens have a great gap still to bridge with LT Eugene Monroe, and those talks are ongoing as well
