Ravens slashing about $18.6 million in payroll by Kelly Gregg, Derrick Mason, Todd Heap and Willis McGahee

[bravensfan52]

The Heap and Mason moves sound so bad. Like i cant believe Ozzie would do this.

so i guess we really are going after nnamdi asomugha

Well seeing the threads, I think Mods should just merge all the release threads into one lol.

Looks like the Ravens are trying to get Younger.
[/quote]
For now, we're letting the threads go and only merging the ones that deal with a specific player. We'll likely combine all of them later tonight or tomorrow once the major cuts are done, just to centralize the conversation for easy reference.

I certainly hope not, unless you want Chris Chester as our starting Center. Matt Birk played well last year considering the injuries he was dealing with.

[Ravenite]

Hmm... Steve Smith...

[Gordo52]

Best WR in Ravens history...You will be missed! I salute you!

There's a couple free agent centers on the market, we may sign them and then cut Birk in order to work a long run deal with Ngata, but I feel like he's a safety blanket.

Derrick Mason going to be on 1090am at 7:35 tonight

Let's not. At least there are viable options behind Mase, Heap, Willis and Gregg. Who would play center if Birk was let go?

[JO_75]

I doubt Birk will be cut because that will leave us with nothing under Center but if Ravens continue cutting guys, this will tell the league we are going all in after Aso.

WNST and WBAL are speculating that Steve Smith and Sidney Rice are just two of the many options that the Ravens would explore to fill the need for a veteran with some days ahead of them.

I think if we see foxy get cut we know nnamdi is on the radar

[Ravensfan23]

The guys I see getting signed are.

Re-signed
Yanda
Ngata
Wilson
Burgess
Gaither
Bulger

FA signings
Scott, Mruczkowski C
Lawerence Vickers FB(if McClain doesn't come back).

Then we'll pick up a veteran Safety and pass rusher from some other team via cuts.

Heap and Gregg will be re-signed.

Definitely would prefer Rice over Smith. Smith has a glass arm, and i don't think he'd be good for Joe. Isn't he kind of a headcase?

[vibrantskies]

Although I DO understand it, I'm going to be incredibly sad to see Mason go. He's my favorite player on the team and has done so much for the Ravens. With him and Heap going, I'm interested to see if we improve with the young members, or inevitably fail.

He is. His tantrums make Mase's look tame.

I said before the only way I'd accept Smith is if Mase was cut. I'd love him at this point.

I doubt we would have a chance at Sidney Rice.

One is aging and the other is coming off a injury, no thanks! If Mason is truly gone, than I can see something where our depth chart looks something like this:

1) Boldin
2) Torrey Smith
3) Tandon Doss

That's pretty much what I'm waiting to hear. Though it will suck for Foxworth, all the work he did to ensure Football and gets cut for his effort lol.

Nope. The Ravens are clearing up cap space to sign their boatload of valued free agents. Also, this cap space will allow the Ravens to attempt to get a long-term deal done with Haloti Ngata.
[/quote]

yup, the Ravens didnt have enough cap space to resign their own guys..let alone get other free agents. i wouldnt expect may more than 1 surprise free agent, probably a WR now

We might as well go after Holmes if we're considering Smith.

[flynismo]

Before I get frustrated, I'll wait a few days. Maybe Mase is getting cut and resigned to a more cap friendly deal.Otherwise, I'll be pretty miffed at losing Mason. Dude is one of my favorites.

Dont forget Nnamdi........

..no, u can forget him lol

Damn Ravens are going too look really different on offense this year I hope smith,doss, pitta, and dixon step up.

Don't joke like that! Ray Lewis & the word Cut just doesn't belong in the same sentence.
