Seahawks could cut WR Sidney Rice.Why didn't Ravens wait until they cut him and then grab him 

Cause he's been retired for like 3 years?

I know it's june but come on man.

Preventative procedure? Wow, must have been some sales pitch from an enthusiastic medical "professional".

There are no preventage procedures for injuries in the NFL (barring life threatening stuff etc.) He needed surgery and john didn't want to comment, simple as that.

I can't even imagine how bad he feels if he reads social media, "Bust" "Just cut him" "wurst draft pick ever" "Fire ozzie" "ravens will suck again" etc.

Horribly bad luck, and no he missed 3 games in college there was no indication he'd miss games in the NFL, these are fluky injuries no one could've prevented.

Get healthy man, Feel better, rehab, and when you're healthy.

Work you Buttocks off to prove everyone wrong.

We're not drafting bosa, Tunsil/Ramsey will be gone (No way in heck all 3 teams pass on ramsey) Chargers are a lock to take tunsil or ramsey, Cowboys/Jaguars WILL take ramsey if they don't. Buckner/Bosa will most likely end up being the "debate"

He's not coming back, or he shouldn't. I hate to be that guy, but retire so it doesn't affect your quality of life. One more hip whatever....Won't be fun. You're young, healthy and have more than enough $$$. Retire man.

I was confused as to why we were cutting will hill, Now I know my bad ozzie.

Waste of $$$ I don't care how fast he is, He drops passes and has a bad attitude. He quit on the dolphins at least twice, No thanks. A one year deal worth 3 million I could stomach, But this is throwing away $$$.I really hope we can cut him after one year cause he won't be productive.

I'd just laugh at this, But he tried to get Big ben to do it.

TRAITOR, Cast him into the ocean and elect a new mayor.

He got a raise? This just worsens the problem in 3 years, Take 19 mil a year and be happy with it. I get the contract because we really didn't have a choice but this is just gonna hurt us long term (I said we didn't have a choice but TO pay Joe Flacco the first time) We screwed up the structuring then and unless the ravens have really fixed the cap spread this time (I doubt it) it's just gonna be worse in 3 years.

Simple, Hire myself as a permanent consultant and just watch Ozzie and Decostra work, Learning from the best is a good way to actually earning the job.

www.Draftwired.com

Click launch the app to use it, It's a great group draft app and a group mock usually draft runs everynight at 7:30am. 

It's fun to use and allows you to make trades.

I think it goes, 2 game checks, 4 game checks, 4 game suspension, (Insert number game suspension (Season ban)

Each one usually requires you to fail 2-4 drug tests. I'm assuming the dude has failed at least 6 drug texts (For what I do not know) It is a PED and not substance abuse so who knows.

Either way boyle had his chances, he's the 3rd string TE we can find someone for the minimum and move on (No pitta will be a post-june 1 cut or retire)

Pitta wasn't cleared to play and isn't in the teams plans for the future, Even if he could play we have maxx+Crockett on the cheap for 3 years.

Cutting Monroe won't fix our hole at LT because we save 2.2 million, That doesn't even get you a good backup LT. 2.2 million is about 1/5th of what we would need to pay Osemele.

We'll rebound but ozzie is gonna have to be smart as always.

Hey I found this intresting little draft app, www.Draftwired.com (Click launch the app) it takes like 2 minutes to load but it has an awesome group draft feature, Check it out.

Colin kaepernick is black? Huh thought he was of spanish descent or something. Anyway Cam is CAMvp, I frankly don't care what he does on or off the field (As long as its legal anyway) let the man play HE wants.

Well that sucks

Kendrick lewis sucks, Maybe leslie can coach up brooks who's just been injured the past 2 years.

Lessgo Andy The Walrus and Gary "I'm not taking a HC job" Kubiak.

Denver vs. Steelers I hate both teams, So it's a loss for whoever wins. Let's go denver...sigh

Chiefs vs. Patriots, Come on anybody who roots for the patriots is a patriots fan.

Seahawks vs. Panthers, Cam newton has one playoff win vs. Ryan lindley. I think he gets his first real one here.

GB vs. Cards MVPalmer lessgo

I was like "What happened to brooks did he retire?" and then I remembered he had cancer...Get well Mr.Brooks. Lezlie Frazier is an awesome hiring for defensive backs coach.

That's a massive ring....must've been half his rookie contract.

So much hate on monroe....do you people remember Bryant McKinnie? Eugene Monroe is ACTUALLY a good LT who tries. He has injury issues, EVERYONE GETS INJURED. He can't help it it's fluky.

so basically ravens fans like beating the steelers? I had no idea.

It is a talent deficient in some areas. And it is old in other areas. Suggs is not going to be an impact player. Dumervil is not what he was when signed and Daryl Smith is a liability. Big contracts are being payed to cornerbacks yet every fan is crying out Hargreaves. Free safety us a liability as well as receiver. But everybody thinks SS is returning to play at pro bowl level. When fans are begging back a 37 yr old receiver coming off Achilles injury to play then there is an issue with talent at receiver. There is no decent left tackle. Well he is a free agent. The team was 1-4 before losing Joe Cool,SS and Forsett. Fans talking playoffs coming off the Cleveland loss were in fairy tale land. The ravens do have some things going for the team. If KO is kept and a left tackle and legit receiver is drafted the offense will be great. However a cornerback (Hargreaves is this years Jalen Strong popular pick) is not making the defense dominant again. The defense needs a lot to be dominant again. ELITE Edge rusher, cornerbacks, free safety, complete ilb. Problem is players at those positions recently been drafted with early picks and are busts(Elam,Brown),or own big contracts and aging,injured and underperforming(Jimmy,Webb,Monroe,Suggs,Daryl Smith).

I didn't say it was perfect but every team has holes on their roster.

Starters do not mean success. How many teams would Upshaw start for?? He is below average. How many of those players are even near pro bowl caliber?? Osemele and Mosley although Mosley really has to establish himself again. Very bad year!! Roasted in coverage!! And Jernigan could take next step to pro bowl consideration but he needs to show it.

Well considering we could be cleveland it could be a lot worse.

It isn't about the actual Pro Bowl game per say, as a lot of people disparage it and don't vote because of that.  I feel that is a little short sighted because it is more about the national recognition the players get by being selected by the fans, coaches and their peers.   To be recognized as one of the best at your position, especially on a broader national stage exposes them to a wider audience than their immediate home fan base and local media.  That national recognition from a Pro Bowl selection helps to build a players resume, garners them more exposure to national media, and can propel these players for future honors and selections like DPOY, ROY, HOF, etc.   The players consider this as one of the honors of their profession and for good reason. 

 

Just a thought for perspective, as fans I wish we would take voting for Pro Bowl nominations a little more seriously by helping our players get more national exposure which would help our players solidify and build their resume's for future honors like the HOF. As a pool of national media members ARE the ones that vote for HOF'ers, in the long run, it really does matter. The Pro Bowl has a lot more meaning and future ramifications to players careers and legacies than just playing in an all star game! 

 

Often when former players receive a nod to the Pro Bowl it can increase the value of a player we lost and in so often help with increasing the value of a comp pick as well. 

 

Just something to ponder the next time we get to vote.

Also fan voting is irrelevant since we're 1/3 of the vote. Coaches and players are the other 2/3 of the vote so they decide who goes. 

Because, it is not about actually being in the probowl. It is about being talked about,recognized and respected as one of the better players at the position. A player need not actually make it, but have many of his peers,media and coaches bring up how he should of made the pro bowl or will the following year!! It is called being pro bowl caliber. Sure at times it is a popularity contest. But you know you would be proud if 5 players made it and several more were considered snubs by fans,media and peers from other cities. And to act as if it is totally irrelevant and pointless sounds bitter and jealous. And like I said it is not just about being voted to the pro bowl, it is about being respected by peers,all fans everywhere and media as pro bowl material!! To say that acknowledgement is totally irrelevant and means nothing is not true. Just like a girl being voted prom queen. Even if a girl is not the winner it is a privilege to be considered prom queen caliber pretty when many peers say a couple different girls could of won or should of won. It is an honor and means she is right there with them prom queen in all her good qualities like beautiful, sweet,charismatic,friendly!! When a player is not in the pro bowl it is as cool for everybody to acknowledge he could or should of been voted. And plays as good or is on similar level to the pro bowlers or the best at his particular position. To say it is irrelevant or meaningless sounds like the bitter rude girls who says the prom queen contest is stupid and meaningless.

Cause it is stupid and meaningless. Not every player deserves to go to the pro bowl (Matt cassel for example) it's a popularity contest for who has the best name, Calvin Johnson went over Allen robinson. (Who had a better year in my opinion and a few others) Calvin Went because he's calvin. ONE vikings defensive player went to the pro bowl. (Not Harrison Smith, Anthony Barr, Or Linval Joeseph their 3 best players) If the pro bowl is a high school prom queen contest let's say for comparsion sake what would happen if we took the pro bowl away from the NFL. What happens does football suffer enough where people quit watching football because of it? No. Same thing with the prom, Sure it's kinda sucky to lose it but it doesn't matter. In 10 years you think life matters because of what happened at the high school prom? nope. Also most prom queens aren't the sweet little girls, As most people who went to high school will tell you (With some exceptions of course) Saying it sucks because "Im bitter and jealous" is kinda redundant. Who wouldn't wanna be a ravens pro bowl player? I think at least 80% of ravens fans would say they'd love to have been one. You're respected by peers and fans whether you go to the pro bowl or not either way so...(Unless you've had some shady off the fiels stuff probaly)
