DE Chris Canty agrees to 3 year, $8 million deal

[Gtown Purple]

I think he'd be a job fit on our DL. What do you think? Will depend on price of course. Tweet from PFT.

[1/28/01]

Eh, nothing fancy. Should be very cheap.

[Limelight543]

Yawn is what i think cheap rotation player wont make the loss of Q and kruger possibly reed sting less.

[GrimCoconut]

He's here? Right now?

That would be a nice signing. Not sure why people are so down on him. Cheap & wouldn't cost a comp. I like it.

[blackandpurplesacks]

I like it a lot too. He's played inside and on the ends. I think he would be a good rotational player and may challenge Cody inside. He's 6'7 317

[ratedr]

This would be a great, classic Ozzie pick up. Lol @ the yawns, as if the Ravens ever "win" free agency.

[bMore Heathen]

That would be a good signing, as long as its cheap. He's been a good player for the Giants. It would be nice to get some veteran leadership as well.

[Gordo52]

I can see us making a move like this. It' a low key Ozzie move. Hopefully we resign McBean also.

[Bltravens]

Much like the Redding signing a few years ago. If Baltimore does sign him, theres the improvement to the interior Dline Ozzie wanted. I dont know if he'd be able to play NT though. Though I still think thats where Ngata should be now.

[kassaiscool]

Would be a good signing if possible. Can play the 5-techinic in a 3-4 or DT in a 4-3. He is a pretty stout guy, and also imposing. Get him if reasonable [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEvB86r-ob4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEvB86r-ob4[/url]

this makes no sense aren't we supposed to be getting younger on defense ? there are tons of dline man in the draft how in the world is this guy supposed to stop the option a few days ago suggs was called old .

[Moderator 3]

I'm guessing replacement for Kemo??

Their is a good chance Ed reed is gone, Ray lewis retired, and guys like Kemo are gone. Our defense is going to be younger by them leaving, but at the same time you don't completely wipe out all the vets and just leave it all up to the young players. The Ravens will keep some vets around to groom and put the younger players in better positions to learn and succeed.

Yea that's definitely what he'd play.. He's done it before

[EricH]

30 for a lineman is considered old now?

[/quote]thanks this is beyond frustrating

[UMDan]

We all know how Ozzy works. Small moves in FA that don't really rock the boat or surprise anyone, he never makes a splash, and more often than not they end up working out. So, I approve.

[Ravenseconbeast]

His been a blue chip player for giants for a while. If he really cheap, i'd bring him here.

[BMORElegacy]

Reminds me of the Redding signing. He could follow his old teammate McBean to BMore.

[/quote]in the boldin threads we traded him because he was "old" 32, and BA should retire because he is "old " 32. i just assumed from a fans persepective this guy would be too OLD as well

[Juviebest]

If we really want him we can't let him leave without a contract. He's made other visits already so I'm sure there are offers out there for him. I wouldn't hold my breath on getting into a bidding war for him.

With that said, I would love to see him as a Raven, right player right price!

[Gordo52]

I'm actually really hoping this happens.

[gabefergy]

Please let this happen. Canty would be a perfect fit at DE, and probably not too pricy.

Ayanbadejo? He's like 36 or so years old. 4 years off of 42. And Boldin will be 33 before the season, I believe.

We always win free agency, because we do not blow a big wad of cash for a bunch of bling players. The teams that lose FA are the ones that grab those high priced guys that they cut a year or so later, and still never see the play-offs.

He's cheaper and younger than Boldin. Also plays a different position, you are comparing apples to oranges here.

[/quote]i grabbed ages off the roster from this past season so both 33 now i think thats young but ....

[Dubs]

I really hope we do sign him. He is exactly in the mold of what we have done in the past and I think still has a ton left in the tank. If we do I think this means either ngata or Arthur jones will be getting more reps in the middle. Fingers crossed for me.
