Arthur Jones came on pretty good this year!

I thought McBean was signed to a multi-year deal?

Ravens won the Super Bowl! all you haters can go pound sand. Boy it is really hard to find anyone to wear Steeler gear around here in PA. I love wearing my Flacco jersey. No one says anything anymore. They are in hidding! BBBAAAAHHHHAAAAHHHHAAABBHHHAAA!

Whatever happened to the weekly AFC North Blog?

I think Blittsburgh will have a heavier shake up than us

• Mike Wallace is definitely on his way out
• Mendenhall is gone
• James Harrison won't sign at a discount
• I even saw something that suggested they might part ways with TP which wouldn't be surprising

Cincy has some key free agent issues to sort out as well.

Positive that if we can re-tool on defense we'll be in the hunt for the division title again

arthur jones, mckinnie, ellerbe, kruger and pitta are must keeps. love reed but it all depends on how much per season he will cost the salary cap. yes he is a leader but he does not tackle anymore and has lost a few steps. would love to bring him back but the younger guys have to be the priority.

That is a lot of heat in the free agency good googlee moo. I really hate when we lose a fan favorite to a boo boo team ie Kelly Gregg, Double JJ. I can't wait to see Ozzie pull this off and since I can't see which way we're going, it's going to be incredible.

Arthur Jones came on pretty good this year!

I anticipate him getting a 2nd round tender and earning around 2M this year. We may even look to sign him to an extension.

As for our #1 RFA, I thought we'd go with a 1st rounder on him. However, our resident cap expert Brian McFarland stated a 2nd rounder would be good enough for him. We may be even more motivated to try and work an extension for him.

Dickson is a mystery. I anticipate a low tender for him (putting him at just over 1M) and actually hope someone tries to grab him. I don't think it will happen though - since they'd have to give up a pick equal to his draft (3rd round).

Let Cary go... Go far away

[Jfravens]

Flacco, Pitta, Ed Reed, Ellerbe Must stay... and maybe Dickson

[Baltimore Bandwagon]

Let Cary go... Go far away

Sure about that? Have you noticed that Cary is the only CB we've had in years who can stay off of the injury reports? There's a lot of value in that fact alone.

We need to keep.Ihedigbo. ! He's a sleeper

[balfan23]

Some wildcard performers needed for upcoming year:

- Gino Gradkowski .... I'm not hearing widespread rumors, but it seems that even if Birk doesn't retire, he'll be released. Gino is going to have some big shoes to fill.

- Michael MaCadoo ... People please stop saying that Kruger is a must keep. The only person more certain to be gone is Williams and Kruger will not be far behind. If Upshaw steps into the start, then someone needs to back-fill. Since Oz has said we'd likely draft middle defense (DT, ILB and perhaps S), the edge isn't likely to be bolstered via draft. Hoping he can stay healthy this go round so we see what we actually have.

[Baltimore Bandwagon]

Call me crazy, but... McKinnie is priority #2 in my mind (after Joe of course). What a HUGE difference he made once he was inserted back into the lineup. A one year contract to McKinnie, give our young guys another year of seasoning. Oher has had numerous opportunities, and has proven that he is not nearly as good on the left side. It'd be nice to know if Birk is playing or retiring sometime real soon.

I definitely hope he won't garner much on the open market and that we can keep him around. Especially if Reed is unable to be retained, we'll need the safety help.

Whatever happens, it will definitely be a "next man up" type of season going forward...

Do you think Joe just wasn't looking for Dickson? That was his go to guy last year in the 2011 season...or so it seemed.

Given that Boldin and/or Jones likely won't be back, I'd like to see if D. Reed gets a shot. He bulked up pretty good and I'm sure his hands are still what they said they were

NICE PIC, Balt.Bandwagon !
