Ack...

That's not a pretty list.

[H8R]

That list has atleast one incorrect. Roy Williams signed to a multi year deal in Dallas. Boy, would we love to have him though! Also, Namdi Asomugah would set up or secondary for domination!

[raven43]

how many of our guys do you think we'll be able to keep?

I'm sure we'll find a way to keep at least Lewis, Suggs and Brown. Hopefully Scott too, or better yet release him and go after Housh.

[GermanRavensFan]

WOW!

The question is: who can we afford to let to?

Boller, Ivy, Edwards, Williams, Wilcox, Stover, Leonhard or Landry, maybe Neal, Suggs or Scott. Perhaps release or trade McAlister or McGahee?

In my opinion we have to keep: Lewis, Landry or Leonhard, Suggs or Scott, Koch, Neal, Brown.

[PurpleClawsOfFURY]

Neal will probably retire he's been in the league for 15 years. As a fullback thats amazing.
As long as we keep Sam koch, Jason Brown, and a linebacker we're fine.

[GermanRavensFan]

What you gonna do with SS then?? Zbikowski?? Nakamura?? I cant imagine to let let Leonhard or Landry go.

Besides that we need 2 LBs... I think we have discussed that very often now. Barnes, McClain, Gooden and Burgess are not ready to be starters yet. And JJ plays very inconsistent.

[Black&Purple]

We need to resign Lewis, Suggs, Landry, Koch, Jim Leonhard, and Jason Brown.

[ROH522155]

i think we should cross this bridge when we come to it because right now we have all these guys and we have a Super Bowl to win

JJ does NOT play inconsistent, if anything he is one of the most consistent players at LB. Just because hes not in the backfield making tackles doesn't mean he isn't doing his job. His role is nothing like Ray Bart or Suggs' roles.

And yes, Zibby and Nakamura are quality guy to backup Dawan or Jimmy next year, no reason to re sign both of them, as Jim will pull alot more money with his showing this season.

With Reed and Landry starting and Zibby/Nakamura behind them...... thats a solid backfield.

I think Willis has to stay, he seems a bit recharged and it'll cost way too much to ship him out anyway.

[bossman419]

Id love to see Antonio Bryant in a ravens uniform...

[Bobby Gobble]

I think most all of them besides Boller will be back in a Ravens uniform. I would like to add WR TJ Houshmandzadeh from Cincy and DE Julius Peppers from Carolina but I think we would have to give up to much to add them

[neepo13]

In all honesty, I dont think we should be worrying about this right now. Our season isnt over yet.

[itscbm5042]

I also am a big supporter of Antonio Bryant in Baltimore, he could be a BIG star here with his size, speed, and Flacco's arm. If we could come away with Bryant and Dunta Robinson I'd be thrilled.

Yeah Peppers is gonna get 80 Million or so, 7-8 years. Its gonna be amazing. Carolina is prepared to franchise him though.

[Bobby Gobble]

lets worry about winning a few more games then worry about next year

Dido even adding Khalid Barnes are all realistic goals. Maybe Barnes is pushing it lol.

[b]Dawan Landry[/b] keep
[b]Jim Leonhard[/b] keep
[b]Ray Lewis[/b] do what it takes to keep
[b]Lorenzo Neal[/b] keep
[b]Bart Scott[/b] good luck
[b]Matt Stover[/b] keep
[b]Terrell Suggs [/b] KEEP
[b]Daniel Wilcox [/b] if funds allow
[b] Demetrius Williams[/b] if funds allow

Just my opinion.
I am glad I dont work in the front office...

[catty112]

Defiantly need to keep our key players Suggs, Lewis, Brown, Scott(IMO), Koch, Stover, Landry, Leonard. Although I can see Landry or Leonard being let go which I would hate to see, Landry just looks like he was prime for a break out season and Leonard has been more than a patchwork backup safety he's a great football player that helped us out tremendously.

I also think DWill should stay for another chance, he can try getting another job but I don't think he'll get much more than his minimum, his last two seasons he was non existant.

For those of you who think Bart, ray, and Sizzle won't be playing together next year there might be a chance that they'll take less money to play together. Don't believe me? Sizzle said it himself in a Bmore Sun article, something along the lines "if we have to take a little less money to keep us together than so be it, playing with these guys is whats more important"

Sorry I don't have the paper infront of me, ill try finding it online and will edit my post if I do

If we don't resign Neal he'll probably retire which would suck becuase he was easily one of top five offseason pick ups

As for the others, I think they can be replaced, sorry Boller!

[Corvus]

Wow, we have a lot more FA than I thought. Definitely need to let Ray retire as a Raven and we should lock up Jason Brown, Dawan Landry, Sam Koch, and T-Sizzle up as well. I would love for us to keep Bart, Jim Leonhard (I honestly think Jim will get a good contract in the offseason, he is a team player in the essence of the word and has been far to productive in Landry's abscence), D-Will, and Dan Wilcox (and hopefully we will) as well but I guess we'll see how it all works out under the cap.

Better yet, we have a Dolphins team to beat. Too much far-reaching vision going on around here right now. It's freaking me out.

[Canes21]

bring back all of them except stover, boller and ivy. forget tj we dont need him.

[VA_Fan]

Now that the season is over, I thought I would bump this up to see if anyone has a different take on who we should pick up or keep.

Couldn't agree more; those are the guys we should keep and let the others land where they may. If anything, keep Leonhard over Landry; Jimmy just makes more plays and is a heckuva PR!

Bart Scott we should let go we have too many guys to sign otherwise, Stover should go, Heap had to block dude damn next year will be a lot different the offense will be dynamic. Neal gone dude. If we can't sing any of the guys you and I wanted resigned I'd let Brown go to do so we got other guys coming back man.

[ravensheap]

We have to keep Heap! It wasn't his fault that they used him as a blocker this year.. Next year after training camp he and Joe will have a better symbo....

Ray Keep
Matt S Keep
Terrell Suggs Keep
Leohnard Keep (big star for next year)
Sam Koch Keep
Jason Brown Keep
Corey Ivy Keep
Lorenzo Neal..Keep
