WOW Great Signing and for a great price. For all of those folks who said we should have franchised him at 11 mil.....Thank God ozzie dont listen to you! A franchise caliber LT for 5 years and 37.5 mill will give us a lot of flexibility! Go Ozzie Go!

Well priority #1 is done. I like Steve Smith for this team if he comes at the right price. He is a tough competitor

7.5 mil year sounds pretty good for an above average LT. I figured we'd get this wrapped up, good job Oz&company. Now get D. Smith back here, find us veteran center, saftey, and possibly a RB to battle it out with at camp. I'll call it a decent free agency.

Trade back in first round draft Zack Martin OT from Notre Dame in the 20's use that pick to trade up early in second round and draft a receiver (this WR draft is so deep we can get a first round talent in the early part of round 2... That would really help our offense, also pick up another WR like sanders in FA, sign TE Daniels for obvious reasons and our offense should be big time... Obviously a idyllic situation but hey people can dream

Huge weight off our shoulders! Got a quality franchise LT for a fair price, and another plus is that we didn't waste a 4th and 5th round pick now.

Excellent start! Mack would be amazing take officially take our biggest weakness, straight to one of our biggest strengths. Understandable if that is too costly though. I really hope we wrap it all up with Daryl Smith, Owen Daniels, and Steve Smith.

This is a STEAL! 7.5M annually while the Fins overpaid Brandon Albert to 10M annually. Monroe is above Albert in pass protection, and EXCELS past Albert in run blocking.

Truly a relief after hearing the reports late last week that we'd likely lose him. The prospect of having to fill that hole, along with the other issues that need to be addressed was not good.

The 2 most critical FAs and the toughest to sign are locked up. On to try and find common ground with Smith and Graham.

Wow I am so happy to read this. I said in the beginning I would have franchised Monroe, Ozzie did waaaaaaaaaay better than that. This is just awesome Raven Nation! Thank you Ozzie!!!!!

Glad you are staying Monroe. Ravens fan appreciate you. Good move Ozzie. Now let's get D. Smith tied down and we will be set for free agency and the draft and know what to get from which. Keep it up Ozzie! Go Ravens!!

Now can we PLEASE get a play making wide-out in the FIRST round.. Now all we need for our line is a new right tackle/center. We will get at least one of those in the draft with a decently high pick being second round at worst. And the other maybe through free agency..

Now we're talking. Now let's get Daryl Smith done. I also hear rumors that the Ravens are looking at Champ Baily, I hope not, he's too old and always hurt.

And I thought we would lose him after Ozzie didnt use the tag. I sure am glad Ozzie and Pat are running the show instead of me! Way to go FO. I don't want to sound greedy but is there anyway we could snap Mack next?
