    A player like jernigan is hard to find, a lane plugger isn't. So many DTs come out of college looking like a stud penetrating machine and then fizzle out and never make an impact, you can't let a homegrown talent like that leave. 

    Williams is a great player, but his market value Will be too high considering the number of teams with bad run defense and high cap room. It will be sad to see him go but I think it's for the best. Michael pierce by the way has been close to equal while also showing a higher ceiling due to his great athleticism. 

    The money we save by getting doom off the books along with possibly Webb and then not retaining Williams will allow for a splash move to really solidify a unit. We could legitimately find ourselves signing a starting FA WR for the first time in a while this off season. 

    I know you feel Williams is talented but will be  too expensive to resign. I am curious as to how much you would be willing to give Williams for  contract extension.

    Respect your opinion but, I don't see them bringing Watson to camp with a $3m base next year and letting Waller go, considering he'll be 36 at that time and returning from major injury.

    I agree with you that saving $3m is significant. I think if you bring Watson into camp to compete with Williams, Boyle, Gilmore and Waller it gives us a level of protection in case of injury to any of our tight ends. We can still cut Watson prior to the regular season and save the $ 3m if he proves not worthy of that salary. Of course we would run the risk of losing the $ 3m if Watson suffered another season ending injury in the preseason.

  3. Next year I see the Ravens cutting either Pitta or Watson ( possibly both) . Pitta's $ 5.5m salary for 2017 and 2018 make him the obvious choice unless his production for the remainder improves dramatically and he is willing to renegotiate.

    I think the Ravens should bring Gilmore, Williams, Boyle and Watson to camp next season giving each of them a chance to earn a roster spot.

    I don't think that's true at all, I think it was definitely a catch but there was some undeniable ball movement as he went to the ground. From what I saw the ball didn't touch the ground - or if it did then it wasn't used to secure the catch - so upholding it was the right call, but he most certainly didn't control it the whole way through the catch.

    Ball movement when hitting the ground doesn't mean loss of control.
