With Webb out for the season. I think its time that we explore some possible trades or free agents that can help fill the hole he left.

Post any trades or acquisitions possible for the ravens to make in order to help our secondary.

[redlobster]

Uhhh the dline and/or the lb are much worse off

[Donte]

Really would like gorrer back but no trade is needed, its time for chykie brown to show what he has and asa jackson can see some snaps here and there. I expect chykie to step up and i heard he has shown alot of improvements from last season during the offseason

[ThePurpleWall]

try FA.

[Free Agent]

No trades or free agents are necessary. We have a first round pick in Jimmy Smith who is ready to go, a veteran corner with nickel experience in Corey Graham, and young, talented depth in Chykie Brown and Asa Jackson.

We have all the talent we need to get the job done, these guys just have to step up to the plate and deliver.

[gabefergy]

I really think Asa Jackson has a chance to step up as our nickel back, playing primarily out if the slot. He struck me as a good slot guy from what I daw if him in college and i think he can fill in nicely if given thd opportunity. I'm also pretty high on Chykie. I was impressed by his play Sunday.

I don't feel we need a trade, I mean there aren't many corners with Webbs ability in the NFL to begin.. The entire depth chart will all move upward a spot, J.Smith, C.Brown, C.Graham, A.Jackson will all be called upon, not sure if Gorrer is still available to be another backup but I wouldn't be opposed to that.

If we could trade make a baseball type trade for a position of need I would prefer either a rush end or rush LB

[Ravens<3]

I think we're going to ride it out with our current group of younger CB's. Who knows, it could be a blessing in disguise if someone like Brown or Jackson steps up and does great.

[tonyg6996]

If we need a pickup anywhere, it's on the D-line. The thought of having to go a week or two without Ngata haunts me.

we're loaded in the CB position, i would trade for pass-rusher, that's our biggest problem. promoting Adrian Hamiltion and Omar brown from the PS for depth.

The team will study the options but Gorrer was signed by the Sea Hawks in September so he is not available without a trade offer so I think the team will use in-house players. Due to the injuries to both Lewis and Webb there will be no need to cut to clear a roster spot for Suggs to return. I believe the other spot will be used to activate Asa Jackson for games.

Also, there is the David Reed situation to solve, he's on the list with Suggs. Again, the team will study all available options including whether to cut and/or to activate someone from the practice squad like that pass rusher.

[PolishRifle]

I don't see it. Our depth at corner looks good, even without Webb. The problem is, that our DL doesn't generate any pressure on the QB.
If an OL gives your QB enough time you can pick apart any secondary. No problem.

No, just no, it would be an utter waste of time; there is no one worth trading for at week 6, and there is a definite reason the players avaliable as free agents are free agents. To bring someone in and have them learn the defense, and intergrate with the team takes weeks, this is not Madden. Like it or not our corners going forward are going to be Cary, Jimmy, Graham, Brown, and people off the practice squad.

Besides, I have far larger concerns with the run, defense and pass rush, or lack there of, than the secondary.

Lol to David Reed, while it's true they will address him as well, I don't consider it news worthy as David most likely wouldn't win the Return job back from Jones or Thompson and he still has even made an NFL catch to be considered a WR

hopefully reed will be cut when he returns

[nextgen_RavensFan]

I think the option to grab a free agent or make a trade is always there as Oz has said he is always looking for ways to improve the team but who is really out there to replace Cody or a legit pass rusher ? We will already have Cap issues beyond next year so cannot take on any big money guys. We will just have to ride this out and hope the play of Cody improves and Kruger or Upshaw are actually decent and steady pass rushers.

We will need to wait for draft time again and hope the Oz gets over his dry spell of so so picks, but with that being said Kruger and Upshaw have shown some nice improvement over the last 3 weeks and i think by week 10 or 11 they will be hitting a new level for us. As for Kindle though. Just drop that experiment and let him go.

Is an upsetting but exciting time in Ravens Town.

[msufan]

Looking for a trade or FA is dumb. Who out there would be that much better than what we have and we need all the draft picks we can get so Ozzie can re-stock our depth.

David Reed is in a bad position! I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a couple of cuts by the end of the week.

[Ravensfan23]

If healthy, David Reed will be given the opportunity to be the KO returner. Thompson hasn't really been impressive in that role and I'm not sure Harbs wants Jones to handle all return duties, because he needs to stay fresh for offense.

As for a trade, no. We have drafted guys like Brown and Jackson the last two years for a reason, let them play. When Graham was brought in he talked about wanting to go to a team that gave him the opportunity to compete at Nickleback, well guess what he has it now.

The Ravens aren't afraid to allow young guys to play and they trust their scouting and player development. They don't make knee jerk decisions based on their situation. Even if a trade is made, it won't be a huge name, just another player to provide depth

[funky141]

Your not going to be able to trade for a DB this time during the season. Best bet is to practice, study film and get the back ups up to speed and prepare them the best you can for game day.
