[News] Ravens Re-Sign Tackle Eugene Monroe

[RavenzOz]

YESSS!!!

Now let's get Daryl Smith locked in too please.

[cobrajet]

This is why, more than Ed Reed, more than Ray Lewis, Ozzie Newsome is my favorite Raven.

It is hard to argue when he makes deals like this.

[Kozak02]

yes we have about 16 mil in cap room, but don't get too excited in trying to sign a big name free agent. Monroe IS our big name free agent. Put aside money for Daryl Smith and Draft signings you're looking at MAYBE 8-9 mil in cap space. And just because we may have 8-9 mil in cap space doesn't mean they'll use exactly 8-9 mil to sign a free agent. Reasons being injuries and having to sign people during the season to fill roster spots. Thats just one example. So you're looking at maybe 5-6 mil realistically on free agent spending. Hardly enough to sign the likes of Byrd or Mack or any of the other big names that are being thrown around. Think more on the lines of Edelman, Sanders, Steve Smith (my vote)if he gets cut. Or another scenario is if we dont sign Daryl back, then yes, look for another big name free agent.

Bye Bye Michael Oher.

[XLVII]

Oooozzzziiieeee

[The Greek]

i think we have a good chance to resign oher

[J.O.14]

This is a very good deal for our football team. We didn't overspend, finally have a quality LT for the future, and have money left to spend.....I think we are just getting started. If we can retain Daryl Smith, our offseason would already be very good.

[stixfix69]

Bring Gorrer back, he is a FA, and played great at CB for us when he was here, that would allow Webb to move to FS....

[stixfix69]

Really hate seeing Arthur Jones leave, he is a stud, and will be missed....

[BaltimoreGold]

Now lets re-sign Corey Graham, Daryl Smith, and sign a FA RT, or Oher. We should also sign Owen Daniels, just released and a FA center, not Alex Mack. Then in the draft, lets take Calvin Pryor, then an OT and DT.

[The Negotiator]

Byrd signs with saints 6 years, he gone

[stixfix69]

Allot of quality DB's out there, but i am more concerned with our depth at CB, so i hope we sign cheap vets once the smoke settles with the high end guys signed away....

[Suggs_to_be_you]

Now everyone can stop dreamin of Byrd. Just signed a six-year deal with the Saints. Oh well.

[marshal941]

What do you guys think about Lamarcus Joyner?. He could add depth to our secondary. Play slot CB or S. I think he is projected in the 2nd round. A OT, TE, or WR in the first with Joyner in the 2nd sounds like a great start to me. The only knock on him is his height.

[stone4]

well byrds gone... kind of a bummer, dam. theres no safeties on the market... to the draft we go i guess

[RavensReck27]

I am so excited to see who we sign next that I am antsy! I keep checking the site like every 15 minutes. Most excited I have been for an offseason, probably because we had a great start with Monroe, and now we have about 16Mil left for Ozzie to scheme with... So many different options! I can't wait to see who will be the next player getting fitted for his Ravens uniform.

[breden16]

this move is very unlikely but once revis is cut i think we should make a play for him. Idk how much he would command but with the money we have we can pull it off and it would keep him from getting to the browns which could kill us. Having him and j smith on the outside with webb in the slot would be dangerous.

[Rahul]

J Byrd is gone to the saints to get over it people, lets try and bring back our guys first and then look in to the FA market

[Rahul]

we should give Walter thurmond or charles tillman(man's a baller) a try...

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

I dont know what our cap space looks like now but it would be nice to try to get Mack from the Browns. I know the Browns had a lot of money to spend but I also know they already signed a few expensive free agents so I dont know what their cap space looks like now but If Oz and Co. structured the deal right we could land him and if not we could make the Browns over pay for Mack.

[stone4]

hey what do you guys think of ingonito? like a 2yr deal

[Kozak02]

Bucs just signed Verner. Revis is gone tomorrow whether they trade or release him. Ravens fans dont hold your breath. We're NOT signing him.

[Kozak02]

Its funny hearing fans be like 16 mil in cap space? Sign Mack, Smith, Revis, P Manning, A Peterson, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Jesus Christ, ........

[Bravens292]

Signing Revis would take almost all our cap. instead of doing something stupid, we could get a FS and a C and still have room left. no time for luxury signings. our CB core is fine. at least byrd is gone so that talk can stop.

[Kozak02]

Let's just hope he doesn't sign with the Browns. Which is looking more and more likely.

what fs are out there ? you know since the byrd talk is done

[Ravenous_Ravens]

I'm glad and relieved Monroe signed. Now, I'm much more interested in signing Daryl Smith at this point than any other FA's. The man stepped into a team position following a HoF'er and played a solid season. It must get done, there's not a lot of other solid options out there.

[Bravens292]

@stone4 Thomas DeCoud and Chris Clemons are options.

[Kozak02]

The only true FS free agents worth looking at would be along the lines of like Woodson, Rhodes, Decoud, aaaaaannnnnnnnddddd DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!!!! EEEDDDD RRRRREEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!!! But yeah nothing to write home about.

[AsianRice]

7.5mil for way above avg LT? it is definitely a steal; I just shed tears to hear this news. We are back in playoff business.......
