This could explain the loss of Pollard and possibly Ed Reed. I'm not saying whether or not I agree but interesting for conversation

[dhstandard]

Leaders* But honestly, this makes no sense. Harbaugh defused the situation with little issue and all that got us to a Super Bowl.

Yeah I saw this on a tweet (shefter?) as well.. Interesting... I really wonder what the mutiny was about or how exactly it went down (I read the originally article on how they recovered, but it didn't go into detail on the specifics).

[BallHawker]

This is the original article: http://www.baltimore...story?track=rss

Agree that this is Harbaugh's team, disagree in your choice of words - "mutineers." There was never any mutiny on this team against John. Disagreeing but respectfully discussing the matter with the coach is very healthy.. and that's what the Ravens did late in the regular season.

Also, why did Preston state that Boldin was a "rabble-rouser?" Makes no sense.

[horus13corvineus]

there might be some truth in what he's saying but the choice of words and adding Q into it were just for the show

[Ravenslifer]

Saw Preston as the first word of the title and didn't bother reading any further.

[I AM LEGEND]

Interesting....

So according to Preston...Harbaugh wants the outspoken people off the team..anyone that may even remotely question something...

But those same players helped get harbaugh a championship...because those players were good.

So John would remove good players off this team that are outspoken? That's stupid.

I don't see why Ozzie would allow this...

Hilarious contradiction. All of those players were players John Harbaugh has brought in, re-signed, and publicly stood up for (most times combating what Preston says)

Remember when Preston said Ray and Ed couldn't play in 2011?? Now Ray's retirement and Ed's potential departure are Harbaugh's ego. Get out, troll!

It doesn't make sense because it isn't true.

The only reason I could agree is cause the team knows it's about to get younger. Last year there were a decent amount of vets/people who had only worked with Harbaugh. With youner guys being brought in maybe he doesn't want the older guys influencing them and wants them to buy in.

On the article, why did he have to say Suggs is gone? He has no idea how the team works.

maybe the guys were outspoken about the money being spread around or something? Might be annoying trying to get your 1/52nd of the cake when flacco's got 1/6th of it.

Yeah, must be it....

[Stephenjr]

Boldin was traded to the 49ers to help Jim the same reason we relased Pollard!! Watch he will end up with the 49ers also.John feels like he ows Jim and wants him to win the next Super Bowl.Reed is next to leave!!!

[black blood purple passion]

Yeah, must be it....

I'm just saying a lot of those guys are looking for their first pay day or their last big one, and suddenly with Flacco's contract their financial prospects look a little more limited than they may like down the road. I know Flacco's contract only carries a 6.8 million dollar cap hit this year, but its going to go up and up and up. They all have rings now, the next goal is get as much money as you can before you retire, or get hurt. Just an idea I'm as confused as everyone else.

My eyeballs popped out of their sockets from the eye roll I just made regarding your comment.

Every team wishes for a franchise QB (and reluctantly, the salary that goes along with it). We knew Kruger was gonna get overpaid. Ellerbe at $35M is insane. Boldin is a bummer, but I get it. I hate it, but I get it. Pollard is a head scratcher, but NOT due to money. We "save" $1M this year (yes, more in 2014, but why not release him then?). These moves all have nothing/little to do with Flaccos contract.

I think he's just clearing out the bottom of the fanbase.
