[News] Ravens Reach Deal With Elvis Dumervil

[Ravensallday24/7]

And we got 12 draft picks to address all our other issues...The Wiz is a genius.

[RavensInNC]

I bet the Ngata having number 92 already was the big hold up of why this wasnt inked sooner. I wonder what they figured out for his number?

[01RAYvens13]

Oz is the greatest

[FitzaFlaccoFan]

I love that hit he put on Brady in the video -- yay Elvis!

The question is how does this effect us in the draft: Do we go for an ILB like T'eo or Minter or go with a playmaker like Austin or even an OT? What will Oz do?
[/quote]Ravens always draft the best players and not by position of need.12 picks and 3 new vets will help the rookies.

[alansilverberg]

We're going to get whiplash watching the pundits (and doubters) do a 180..."Ravens D devastated by massive exodus" to "We knew that Oz had a plan!!" Oz - yer the man!!

[RavenFan28105]

Browns paid 40mil for Kruger
Baltimore paid 35mil for a proven elite pass rusher!
This helps enlighten the mood for every Baltimore fan as it's been a down off season, but now hopes are going up :) Just think... Suggs, healthy Ngata, and Dumervil.... QB's will be scared

[PoeZest]

Down to three big needs: safety, ILB, and LT. In that order. BTW, can we have 92A and 92B?

[voxendu864]

Hey hater fair weather fans - I think you owe Ozzie and the front office an apology or some kind of acknowledgment of his genious????????

You claim you know better than him so imagine most of the haters and fairweathers will now come out and suggest that he should have signed Freeny or Osi or James

I wonder what # hes going to be? I doubt he'll beat Ngata in a fight lol

Number 99 isn't doing anything these days!

[JakeNumber55]

This D-Line has done from average at best (only decent because of Nagta) to probably one of if not the best in the NFL. Told everyone since day one all we need to do is trust in Ozzie! Ozzie is rebuilding this defense and he is starting from the front 7, and thats what wins championships!

[SBXXXV]

This definitely eases the sting of the Home opener fiasco. Bring on the Broncos on Thursday night.

[Guest GoldRaven]

Lol @riseNConquer81!!!

[WeCanDoAllThings52]

So, what's Elvis' number gonna be?

[quote name='riseNConquer81' timestamp='1364160630' post='1413393']
great signing,, but also pure dumb and blind luck. we cann Thank Magid and Elway for this, its more about dumervil wanting to be anywhere but Denver at this point than it is about any plan our FO had. ozzie's batting average is still pretty low this off season.
[/quote] Hello negative Nancy, may I direct you to the exit?

[ozrave]

This is brilliant news. And how about where it came from : a faulty fax machine shook loose a great player not even on the market.

[EmpireState_Blackbird42]

i hope he takes #99

[charliebucket]

REPEAT

[berad]

Wow!

Same money as Ellerbe. Ask yourself which one is the better player. "Great" signing.

Canty wore that number with the Giants. I'd give Elvis any number he wants except for 52!

[Schoel]

People said we were doomed, now we have Doom

[Guest GoldRaven]

I would not be surprised to go Left tackle in the 1st round.

In regards to MLB position, AJ Klein is under the radar kind of guy. Also Kiko Alonso.
We have a good shot at both. My feeling is Kevin Minter slips to the 2nd round.

With the WRs let's just give Tandon Doss a shot, which is why I say we need to draft a LT.

yess, yes, yes

move upshaw to ILB and bring another MLB in the draft, and this is it, the defense will be back in top 5.

a elite defense, with elite QB, and 2 elites RB

sounds to me a repeat
[/quote]I really hope they move Upshaw to ILB. I think it would really benefit everyone, and plus he could be a beast there. It would help shore up that position with a little help from the draft. Top 5 defense if not Top 3.

On a different subject. I'm still not happy about loosing the open day Thursday Home game, but thinking after this trade and last years playoff game the NFL will probably have us start the season in Denver on Thursday Night. The Denver fans will want redemption, but will NOT get it, as the Ravens always WIN their first game.

[CapoRocky]

Who else want's an Elvis jersey???

[Supbchamps]

While some of that is true, oz still beat the broncos/numerous other teams to sign him, and oz signed him to a 5 year deal while the deal being cap friendly as well !! i'd say that's what we call oz using his magic :)

[/quote]We have Omar Brown and the rest will come in the draft.Ravens back in business......call Flacco to get ready!

[trayRaves]

This is a major upgrade over Kruger.

Denver wants a MNF game, so it may be the Steelers.
