1. Alan feneca- (probably never gonna happen but dont let that stop you from dreaming) and hope an offer for jason brown happens and we get a 2nd round pick

2. BRYANT JOHNSON-(26) huge target and we could sign him for a cheap deal, replace D. Mason(34) or move him to slot (3 mill against the cap)

3. D. Hall- young(24), solid corner wants to be traded out of atlanta (doesnt care where to)+ what defensive player wouldnt want to play for the RAVENS D?....small contract and one way to dump Rolle(32) and the cap that he has(4.4mil)

4. JAVON "THE FREAK" KEARSE-...eagles released him today... suggs(OLB) , kearse(DE), gregg(DT), ngata(DT), and pryce(DE) on the field at the same time? BEST LINE IN THE LEAGUE BY FAR!! and he is coming off of his worst year, he is older and he was injured in 06' but thats why its such a beauty his price value will be down but his skills wont

If you said Realistic, than how come you put Feneca? I want D-Hall and Bryant though

i read someone elses free agent choices and feneca is more realistic than aquiring samuels, moss, and chad johnson. plus it would be awesome to have the leagues best center being in control and leading our young line. To me would be worth while spending the cash on him AND!! it would change how we drafted

only if we released our dead weight of course:

JO, CHESTER, ROLLE, MASON<<(hate to see him go), and restructure some vet contracts mainly Ray and c-mac

and by ray i mean locking him up for a few more years

Faneca isn't a center, he's a guard and for the money he'd want at the age he is I wou;dn't want him here we just spent the last few season releasing all the older linemen we have to make room for the younger player to get time and with coaching from our new O-line coach they should be able to develop into a solid gorup as they have all shown glimpses of talent over the last couple of seasons.

How about free agent CBs Randall Gay from New England, or Domonique Foxworth from Denver, who went to high school in baltimore, and went to Maryland for college.

I don't think Javon Kearse can play football anymore. He's had that injury and it caused him to get out of football shape. Maybe if their is no interest. We can give him a 1 year "prove it" contract.

Called working out? Maybe?

id like to see a 1 year prove it contract for 2 reasons, it would be quality insurance if pryce or suggs went down and it would be a no obligations type deal where it only affects cap this year. downside to 1 year contracts is if players go strong and have a monster season next year is their cash in year. but hey if you have a chance at a player like kearse if its possible money wise and that player can come in and be an imediate impact towards a superbowl shot i say go for it.

Kearse is one of those feel good names to get people excited i doubt he will be picked up by b-more,be nice tho. id like to see calis camble from miami getting drafted tho. 6'8'' DE with great pash rushing skills. Maybe a future replacement to pryce? definitely reminds me of a younger kearse.

I still question Kearse's work ethic.

I distinctly remember his cameo appearance in rapper Plies' video for "Shawty" when he was SUPPOSED to be rehabbing from his injury.

I know it's minor for an athlete to have fun on the side in their free time, but the fact that he's had a questionable work ethic in the past, combined with the fact that rehab obviously wasn't his first priority when he was making that cameo, makes me wary to take a chance on him, even with a 1-year deal.

I'm fine with Antwan Barnes backing up Suggs and Pryce, rather than bringing in an injury-prone, inconsistent veteran.

Seeing as how the Eagles' defensive scheme is similar to the Ravens, it still bothers me that Kearse never lived up to his expectations in Philly. And I've seen a great deal of Eagles games, living here in Eagles country, so I've seen enough of his play to say that I'm disappointed.

i dont question his play on the field and at the end of the day thats really all that matters.

Everytime he's on the field he's the first one moving and the last one stopping. His motor is huge. He is a FREAK of NATURE. HIS 60% effort is better than 75% of the leagues 100% effort. watch a full game of him imposing his will on anyone that stands between him and the ball. Its crazy that guys like this get paid to dish out damage the way he does. kearse looks like a man among boys and he tosses tackles aside like bean bags.

there's is without a doubt in anyone's mind at this point in time about Kearse's abilty to get after the quarterback or whoever may have the ball at the time. i think that many people are questioning because of his age and the fact that he's getting up there and what not, but just take a look at Ray......over 100 tackles yet AGAIN and yet another ProBowl Type season.....just goes to show you that age is only a number and that it doesnt really play any factor If the player continues to prepare/work hard and play hard out there on that football field.

Kearse might be a guy to sign on the cheap and use situationally or in the rotation. Question is how cheap is cheap?

Drew Carter and Bryant Johnson are interesting receivers that the Ravens might be able to afford.

It sounds like the Bills will snatch Bryant Johnson sometime today.

The bills need to be sold already. What they need is an entire new roster. Bryant johnson isnt gonna help them. The bills...pfftt

What kinda team name is bill? DAM THE BILLS!!!
