Webb coming back at a reduced salary is a huge addition. Really helps out depth and versatility. Cornerbacks - Smith, Young, Carr Safeties - Weddle, Jefferson Hybrid S/CB - Webb That is a pretty darn good core. Plus add in whoever we likely draft in the first 3 rounds, a combination of young talent (Canady/Daniel/Price/Rolle) and a vet (one of Arrington or Powers most likely on a vet minimum deal) I have yet to see anything on Dumervil out there since he was cut. Would it be crazy for him to return on a vet minimum type deal with NLTBE incentives for sacks? In an ideal world we re-sign Webb & Dumervil for vet minimum type deals, get Mangold & Dunlap for $2-3M a year over 2-3 years to stretch out the cap him. We ready to draft with no glaring holes.

Does Marqueston Huff signing with the Chiefs count in the comp pick formula? Obviously driven a little by contract size and years but would he be a qualifying FA given we rescinded his tender and he became a UFA?

Really hope we can find a middle ground to bring him back. Webb deserves to play his entire career with the Ravens. Maybe something along the lines of 2 years, $7 million (most of which is guaranteed). Would net us $2-3 million in cap savings overall. Would be great depth to have in the secondary.

Great pickup, hopefully for a nice comeback team friendly deal. Weddle strikes again?!?!

I can see Webb restructuring .. seems to love it here. Plays like a Raven when healthy. Ozzie and Eric will find a fair compromise. Maybe Webb can play hybrid safety/nickel. Can never have enough DB's.

Assuming we stick to signing FA's that were cuts, what are we looking at if Brandon Williams goes too ... 2 3rd round comps (Williams & Wagner) and a 5th rounder (Juice). Possibly add another 6th or 7th once you factor in the realistic chance of us losing Guy or Mallet. Not a bad haul, will hurt losing all 3 of them but I think Pierce can step up with Jernigan. RT we will have to fix and hopefully can find a value vet to help bridge to whoever we draft this year. Juice was a luxury. I can see us using Boyle in an fullback type of role which will allow us to keep the TE logjam. Assuming Pitta restructures there is no way we would have kept Pitta/Williams/Gilmore/Boyle/Waller/Watson if Juice was in play. With Juice gone, I can see the scenario of us keeping all those weapons if we move Boyle to fullback. This assumes Watson restructures as well.

Both would be ideal. Wallace takes a pay cut and Torrey comes home on the cheap after realizing the grass isn't always greener.

Looks like Kubiak is itching to get back into the game. Not sure if there is much precedence for this in the NFL but I would love to bring him back in some Front Office Scouting + Senior Offensive Assistant type role. He can ease his way back in and helping with draft evaluations, NFL player evaluation throughout the season and sit in on offensive meetings + help with game planning. To me it would be no brainer to add a familiar and most importantly extremely bright individual to the organization. Let's reach out and get this done. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2017/02/03/former-broncos-coach-gary-kubiak-retired-just-month-already-plans-return-to.html

Great signing. What comes next? Would love for Webb to restructure and lower his cap number, maybe even ask Hill and Elam to do the same. I would think that all 3 may also have some trade value if we wanted to get the contract off the books and pick up another asset.

Can someone explain the Chase Ford tender? Seems like more than he would get on the open market. Makes less sense now with the Watson signing and Waller moving to TE. Maybe we try to stash Waller in the practice squad as a developmental guy. Are there any cap implications if we cut Ford at a later date?

Ben Grubbs return anyone? I wonder how serious is neck injury/failed physical is. Really hoping we lock up Wallace for a reasonable 2-3 year contract for $2-3M/year. Would give us a pretty dynamic WR group with SS, Perriman, Wallace, Aiken and Camp. I hope we can get Pitta to restructure his base salary down to the minimum with some incentives to earn some of it back.

Why's that? 2 years helps the overall number and if he signed this early I can see it being for a decent amount, will be interesting to see the total guaranteed money but with the amounts players are signing for today he should garner a comp pick. Last year's APY was around $2.75 million so depending how all the +'s and -'s for teams go he should be right around the cut-off.

Matt Schaub = comp pick?? What a day! Definitely reduces the pain of his $1M bonus for % of snaps played hitting the cap.

Does Tyrod making the Pro Bowl (even as an alternate/substitute) help our case with getting a comp pick? Are these types of awards weighted heavily enough to trump his low base salary? Would be nice to pickup a 7th at the end to lock someone in for a contract before the undrafted FA madness.

Moving up to 6th ahead of the 49ers is BIG, especially if they are targeting a QB like Goff. My preference is still to stay in the top 10 as I think we need that influx of elite level talent but wouldn't be opposed to trading back to the teens if we get a future 1st out of it. Or if we can create a bidding war between that "team" plus the 49ers we may be able to milk say a 2nd round for them to move up a spot and guarantee themselves Goff.
