Suggs restructured his contract!

Cut Gino for another $1.5M.

[B-more Ravor]

Thanks. The timing on this day just made me wonder...what is the target cap savings to secure Ngata? $14MIL, $12MIL, $10MIL off his current contract cap hit to stay within reason?

 

Released - $8.5M

 

Extended - ~$5M (depending on the terms)

Thanks again. That seems do-able if that's the route they're taking. Interesting.

You can thank Ray Rice for that.

 

Read that Ray Rice is a 9.5 million "Dead Cap" hit for 2015. I guess Little Ray is gonna be blamed for all Ravens woes from this point forward.  If it was up to me I'd give him a monitored second chance and get some return on that Cap Figure, but its about principle right? 

 

However it is a tragic story and sheds bad light upon all involved, with the exception of Ray's wife. She certainly did nothing wrong at any point.

 

Good Luck to them.

Yeah, they need to redo these contracts going forward stating that if you get arrested, you are an at will employee.

What is Ngata thinking? And the Raven's?

I gotta believe he figures he will net more if the Ravens release him to the open market, especially after Suh hit the jackpot. He'll still get the $8M (?) the Ravens owe him, but he'll probably land more from teams with more cap room. I think he might get 3/36.

The Ravens will either agree to keep him at his $16M cap number, or they'll wait until they've reached tentative agreement with players they think can benefit the team more with the $8M they'll get by releasing Ngata,

Nope...

What's done is done...

 

Sizzle is the man.

How about Webb?

Obviously, he is still considering it and isn't sure the Ravens have much leverage. Or else, his deal would be announced before restructuring Sizzle. I don't know if Webb agrees to a pay cut, but I hope he does.

I just read in LFW that talks with Webb have stopped.

I don't know if its because Ngata made enough space or Webb is just holding firm.

Both I'd say.. Webb has all leverage and restructuring him isn't a absolute necessity right this second now that ngata's gone
