If upshaws signs somewhere, it would negate the Watson signing Thanks! Doesn't look like the ravens want to sign upshaw. And to be honest cant blame them. Love the guy, but meritocracy has become a theme lately. In fact tell me one play maker on the ravens that isn't coming off a severe injury. Can't name one. And the coaches that have left haha. Of course Pagano, Rex Ryan , and Mrvin Lewis. But its not them. When you have Reed, Ray Lewis, Nagta, and Suggs it will make any coach look good. Havent seen too many coaches signed since than. And Bernard Pallard, what a play maker, unlike Hill, but of course Harbough did away with that, he wanted a coach able team. Well now u have it, and without your iconic payers, see how you do now. The Ravens are soft. Hope it changes.

We never broke Ngatas heart, he was by far the most greediest player I think the Ravens ever had. I mean he held out on his rookie contract lol and then two more times, I think we had to franchise him twice. As much as people may hate me for saying this, but I was happy when Ngata left, all he cared about was money.

Holy smokes, KO got a ton of money. Guess we should concentrate on locking up Brandon Williams, so we don't see him go next year. And I have a feeling the Ravens don't want to bring Upshaw back. Maybe they think this guy Zadarius Smith will take over nicely, and contribute better in pass rush.

There is nothing wrong with freeing up cap space and pushing the cap hit down the line. Realistically you only do this with players that you believe will be good down the road, as the typical outcome is usually an extension being worked out to flatten the cap hit. Ravens are not the only team to use this tactic, but as I said you only really see this move with 'safe' players, who's value will still be there down the road. Yea, I mean I understand they want to free up cap space and if the Ravens were a legitimate contender with a shot at a Superbowl run, I would be all for it, as so they can put the best team on the field. But with the amount of holes the Ravens have, it just doesn't make sense for them to do it at this time. They are going with a win now approach, but unfortunately we are short too many pieces and 14 mill isn't going to solve the Ravens problems. Trying to be as unpessimistic as possible but sometimes it's hard hah

Does anyone know what happened to Upshaw?

I guess we have to trust in our organization to do the right thing. I'm sure they know what they are doing by this time. Don't you? Hope so

Are the Ravens back to pushing money down the road. Impossible to fill all the holes this year and I hope it is not at the expense of the Ravens future. One restructure is one thing, but two? I guess they want the most COMPETITIVE TEAM, but the Ravens seem like a two year project not one (maybe, maybe playoffs, but realistically I doubt we win the AFC North, so I don't understand the restructures now, given this has to be looked as a rebuilding year). This does not make too much sense......but what do I know

Leave him in the slot (Pees). And keep Jimmy in press coverage. I feel our defensive players aren't used in the best way sometimes.

Can't believe Osemeli got 11 mill. Also shocked to see Upshaw may be leaving. I suppose we need to get faster on the D line anyhow, but that is a bummer. I thought for sure the Ravens could work out a 3-3.5 mill a year contract to keep Upshaw here. I wonder what the Colts are paying.

Yea supposedly this guy Tunsil is a stud, maybe if he is there at 4 the ravens move up to get him, assuming we won't deplete too many draft picks doing that. Not sure if Stanley is worth #6, they say he could be a minor project whereas Tunsil would be a plug and chug.

Yea supposedly the Ravens are very high on Hargreaves and should def be there at number six. Would love to get a pass rusher, but with the holes on the Ravens, the best player available scenario seems to make sense and we need more corners. With Jimmy, Hargreaves and Wright playing for at least 3 more years together would be pretty cool. Hopefully this defense see's a little light, since it has been dark times since Ed Reed and Ray vacated.

Not really. Right now Kamar Aiken is our number one receiver. We have no idea how SSS is going to come back from injury and Breshad Perriman is still unproven. The rest of the list is mediocre at best. If they were any good I am sure we would have seen it. Companaro is great in the slot, but is not healthy ever, and is still unproven in my opinion.

KO, is really interesting. I wonder if teams will pay top tackle money to a guard that only started 4 games at the tackle position. It is really hard to fathom teams paying anything north of 10 mill per year. But like every year, teams will overpay.

Assuming you meant KO?? Yes......my bad
