28.55 million cap if he plays on the team 25.85 million cap if he doesn't. You are the one who needs to how the caps works in NFL contracts. If he is cut he will sign with another team for big money and the Ravens would be stuck drafting a QB with their first round pick and will save a comical 2.7 million space in cap space There is absolutely zero chance he is cut this year. Also if a team pays him 20 million next year it would be more than he makes with the Ravens.

The Bengals were 12-2 before Andy Dalton got injured. Now way he gets fired. You guys want everyone fired but Harbaugh.

Well if you have no clue about his contract or how the process plays out why comment on it? Saying to cut a player that would provide no benefit to the team? Makes no sense. Flacco would get more money if he were cut. He has gotten signing bonus already. So he would sign a big contract with another team while the Ravens are still on the hook for 95 percent of his cap hit and are playing a much inferior player in his place. The team choose this route by having low cap hits of 6,8 million , 14.5 million and 14.8 million in the first 3 years. That was their choice. Now they are on the hook for the payments that have come due.

How many times do I have to post that they aren't going to re-negotiate it would be an extension. It would be beneficial for Flacco to get an extension. They would get more money and more years with a nice big fat singing bonus.

If they cut Flacco they would save 2.7 million in cap space. They wouldn't be able to sign Osemle with that amount of money they would have a terrible Quarterback. And Ozzie would be the laughing stock of the NFL It amazes people who comment on stuff that have no idea what is involved in the situation.

You can't trade comp picks this year. I would think trading up to the first round is a good idea. Maybe at the back of the first. Going to the top isnt going to happen for a second and third. But getting back into the first lets you get another player you can keep for 5 years instead of 4.

We also lost Ngata. Two guys who got double teamed. You saw how it effected Elvis and you saw how it effected our middle linebackers. People act like the players have nothing to do with the result on the field.

I have no idea what you are complaining about the Ravens have not asked to extend him. There will be no renegotiation. There will be no money saved by giving Joe a new contract. Instead the team would pay Joe a lot more money and then in 3 years they would have a huge contract problem again. Joe would gladly take an extension that pays him a ton of money. But the team put themselves in this position. They could have had the contract be a 20 million cap hit each year. They choose to borrow from the future. The future is now here. They can borrow from the future again and have an even bigger problem or they can just take the cap hits now.

Extending Joe Flacco's contract doesn't save the team caps space. It actually takes up more caps space. It just could save money next year and then you have a bigger problem coming down the road. Same with restructuring Webb's contract. It is just stealing money from future teams. And that is the reason we have the problems we do every year with cap space. Cutting Webb would only save 3.5 million dollars so if you think you can find a better free safety than him for that money do it. But i doubt you can.

If you consider 25 in the league in points good than they did well. I would consider top 15th or better good. Look they did worse than defense. The Defense didn't have many injuries but still the offense was worse. Lets stop saying they were good when they were not. Yardage doesn't mean much. It is scoring. And the offense was bad before the injuries came. In the beginning the only starter injured was Monroe.And Monroe played some. I would say Suggs is a bigger loss than Monroe. The team stunk this year. Also you win games by scoring more than the opponent. They didn't score much. They had the ball just as much as the other team.

The team can't afford Osemele. Why add another bad contract to one that already exists. They would have to have a contract with a low cap hit first year and then increase dramatically each year. Osemele is injured a lot too. So you would face the same dilemma in a couple of seasons. No more dumb contracts

Why all the down votes? You don't like facts to get in the way of your preconceived misguided notions?

The team was what 25th in points scored? I think the offense was worse than the defense. Especially with the offense giving up picks six's thanks to Schaub.

Failure?? He has been to two Super Bowls as a Defensive Coordinator. What I don't get is everyone is blasting the coach and everyone is blasting the players. How do you expect him to have a great defense with no star players on defense?

As I said before, if the team sucks next year Harbaugh will be fired and new head coach will bring in a new defensive coordinator.

I would like to the see the Bengals make it to the Super Bowl. Marvin Lewis deserves it. Nothing against the Bengals really. Can't stand the Broncos with Elway being their GM. Hope they lose their first game.

I don't really care who is in the Super Bowl if the Ravens are not in it. Landover, MD NFL Team vs the Patriots might interesting. I would definitely be rooting for the Patriots in that case. I don't think they have much of chance to make it to the Super Bowl though.

I didn't knock Monachino. I was saying that why would praise Monachino while criticizing Pees. Linebacker play was probably the weaker than secondary and defensive line last year. So why would you fire Pees to hire Monachino if you think the reason for firing them was because performance on the field?

He was a safety in college, I am sure he will be fine there. All the injuries have slowed him down. Still knows how to play the game though. Really overall he wasn't that bad at corner this year.

There is evidence but you choose to ignore it. I don't know why though. Oh well bury your head in the sand.

If he was awful he wouldn't have been to two super bowls as a defensive coordinator. He might not be the best in the league but to call him awful is ridiculous.

Linebackers didn't play that well this season. I am not sure why you think he would be better than Pees.

All of you knocking Pees look at the guys he has out there playing for him. Then look at the 2006 Ravens defense that Rex Ryan had playing: Ray LewisBart ScottHaloti NgatiTyrell SuggsAdalius ThomasEd ReedTrevor PryceChris McAlisterSamari RolleJarret JohnsonKelley GreggDawan Landry

Lance Armstrong sued and won against a newspaper that claimed he was using PEDs.

That is not true at all. Canseco started most of the claims about people being on drugs. A-Rod got suspended a year for something that started like this. Lance Armstrong had rumors for years. I think there will be suspensions in baseball over this eventually. In Football nothing will happen as the NFL doesn't care.
