Bernard Pollard released

[jus'_crAzy]

Corner found. Fetal position engaged. Commence rocking.

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Our leadership on defense is Suggs, Webb, and Ngata.

However, they have something in the fold if this is true that he is released. No doubt about it in my mind. Can't believe this is true.

I got word from the Bmore sun that he was released

maybe someone hacked him LOL

His cap hit is 3.25 with 2.25 in dead money why would we cut our tough starting SS for 1 million dollars in savings when we are already thin at Safety?

Damn! Damn that sucks. I don't understand it. Not at all.

[ta2d1]

Wow, getting rid of the entire defense it looks to me.

[GrimCoconut]

I really want to know why we released Pollard. I'm not mad. I'm very surprised. I know Pollard's not the best in coverage but he hit like nobody's business. He took guys out. And we don't save a lot from this move.

This is extremely perplexing. I understood Boldin but this is a surprise.

We now have no veteran leadership for our secondary except Ihedigbo & Webb.

Here's a link to a story about it from today.

[Osiris]

Guys, 2.25M DEAD MONEY!

The Ravens saved 1M only! What's happening?

[T3hRaven]

What the heck is going on? This is so fail.

[Gordo52]

Are we rebuilding? Seriously who the hell are we gonna cut next?!

[ratedr]

Everything has made sense until now. This really doesn't make sense.

[Free Agent]

I just got the text.

What the freaking heck?

[757RavensFan]

Did he fail his physical?

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Oz must have took the defense falling off the map last season pretty hard.

[ravefan52]

We save 1 mil? His leadership, toughness, play on the field far exceeds that. He is not even old either.

[SecretAgentMan]

Alright. I'm in a panic. WTH

[ravensdfan]

Wow. I was alright so far. I understood not overpaying for Ellerbe & Kruger. I even understood the business side of the Boldin trade. This, though. makes no sense. We're still on the hook for $2 mil of his salary so basically we only save $1 mil here. Peanuts. And if we go to the trouble of trading Boldin, I can't believe if this is the way we were going we couldn't find someone willing to trade for Pollard.

Wow. Really hope his account was hacked.

[1/28/01]

Yeah, I am PISSED beyond belief!

Exactly this move is perplexing

[dirtybird10]

Ozziiiieeeeeee...... you have some splainin to do!

[Free Agent]

Ed better be coming back now...

[Gordo52]

He did get abused in the Super Bowl, but he was playing with cracked ribs!

I really don't get this move, I hope Ozzie addresses these moves soon so I can understand the thinking behind them.

[fistfullwales]

It's gotta be his ribs

[MissK528]

Okay, I don't really understand caps or dead money or anything like that, I'm SO ridiculous not a math person, but is it possible we did this to sign him back to like, lessen the impact or something?

[ravefan52]

Everything else was okay because they cost too much or are past their prime. BUT Pollard was cheap and he is only 28! Why would we ever release him and not trade him? This makes absolutely no sense. Come on Ozzie!!! This is getting out of hand

[Gordo52]

We can't control teams overpaying for our FA's.

But trading Boldin for a 6th and realeasing Pollard and only saving 1M?! I hate these moves

[I AM LEGEND]

Complete Rebuild mode...smh

Whos next Ozzie?

We only saved 1 million. Which is extremely low price for him.
