Haloti Ngata traded to Lions

[JoeyFlex5]

I garuntee you that we made out like bandits.

I just saw a rumour of a 2nd and Eric Ebron

man, al davis wouldnt have made that trade for torrey smith! that has got to be a ridiculous rumor lol

[1/28/01]

yup, 4th and 5th and $8.5M saved.

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

I just wonder what we're going to do with that space now that it's there. The draft picks gives us some ammo to trade up if we want to in the draft. 

[makaha]

Emotionally this hurts, logically it doesn't. 

 

We need Jernigan to step up and I believe he can.

[GrimCoconut]

Lol wow I called this trade in the other thread. I'm not sure I'm the first one though. So I'm not taking any credit here or anything. I'm more surprised that I guessed right than anything. I called that he'd be traded a long long time ago, saying we should let him go because it's really all we can probably do. I had multiple discussions here with people about his future. I can't say I'm happy he's gone. To be honest it hurts to see him go but at the same time I think this is the right decision.

[Gordo52]

Stings to see him go but I love getting those picks and salary relief for him. Very surprised by this!

[mdrsharon]

Seriously???

Mid-level picks?

 

Can we get a better return, when we decimate the team?

Very upsetting...

[PeRK82]

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

 I hope you realize that is 99% Sarcasm  and 1% Hope

Well it is better than cutting him. Im very happy that a trade even got off

I think we did really well on the trade actually. We essentially got a third round pick for him in value.

[Sizzlebshu]

So we save 8.5 million and 10.5 for the day half of which now gets allocated to the draft meaning we still have nothin to work with and another hole on the roster

[RavensFanMania]

Grim, well you are the ravens GM in the mock.

[rafahash]

I love Ozzie. Loved this trade.

[ravefan52]

Sad to see him go, but the right move IMO. Got more than I thought we would.

[Static]

I'm seeing that we gave up a 7th in the trade

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

We find out one thing, who is a real Raven and who is not. I do not care one spit about the "Cap" but you could not even try to help the team?  Won't be seeing you in the Super Bowl, Lion!

[gtalk12]

That sucks, one of my favorite players. Got 2 picks in the draft, lets make them count Ozzie

[Inqui]

Looks like the trade broke these boards, haha.

[berad]

Wow, very surprised to hear this. Can't really fault Ngata for not taking a paycut if that's what it was but I thought the discussions were for an extension. Maybe the terms weren't to his liking. Whatever.

 

Glad we got some good compensation in return, though. And with that money we can afford to be decent players in FA.

Lol.

[DefensiveMind]

Ngata was a favorite of mine and was a major reason behind many years of great defense here, but the man did not want a pay cut and we needed the money. Good deal for all

[H8R]

Like I said 2 years ago... Take the money and waddle .

[berad]

Looks like the trade broke these boards, haha.

 

Yup. "Haloti Ngata trade brings all the posters to the yard and they're like 'Trust in Oz'"

[Static]

Adam Schfter is adamite on the 7th we included with Ngata

[Guest]

Lol wow I called this trade in the other thread.

 

congratulations you must be proud

[Ravenseconbeast]

Man I am going to miss haloti. He definitely tops the bill of one of the greatest ravens to wear the uniform.

Good luck to him, but damn it is wayyy to sudden. I feel like we got some cap relief, but you can never replace a beast like ngata.

[Tank 92]

yep, you nailed it.  It did make sense for both.

[Ravensuperfan1]

What position?

 

well D line.  I'm also looking at DB, WR, TE and potentially RB if we don't sign anyone.

 

Our line was already pretty good without him so it's not s hugely pressing need, but this draft class is fantastic for late day one and day two guys.

 

yeah but depth doesn't hurt in this league. I haven't followed much this season. I pretty much shut off football after we lost to the Patriots and they went all the way. If it was any other team outside of the Steelers I could have handled it, but ugh. So I'm way behind on all my NFL news.

[H8R]

Yup. "Haloti Ngata trade brings all the posters to the yard and they're like 'Trust in Oz'"

This board goes down anytime something major happens, it's fact. Lol
