Yes, he should. 

January through April is certainly a great time to do this, and I really don't have an issue with him doing it in May/June either.

But once actual OTAs and training camp begins, stick to Twitter and social media for your advocacy. Nobody wants to see him skipping an OTA or a training camp practice to go give a speech about weed. 

You'll never win that battle from a PR standpoint.

I agree.

With the WR battle, Watching Moore, Perrimen, Wallace, and SSS as our top 4 along with Aiken and maybe even 2 other younger WRs will be interesting to watch in 2016. Will be up to Flacco to really go after teams this year. Has the speed, better, Oline, Much improved pass rush and DB lineup. We need to finish off teams this year and do it with authority.

This is what WR's I think make the roster: SSS, Perriman, Wallace, Aiken, Campanaro, Moore, and Butler.

I think if Reynolds can make an impact on special teams he bumps Butler or Campanaro...both if the Raven's only carry six WR. I also don't know if we could hide Reynolds on the practice squad, whereas Butler & Camp would probably not get picked off by another team. Of course, maybe the rumors that the Pats wanted Reynolds are just rumors...

You mean to the two players that have proved that they can play in the NFL? You have to like Reynolds' athletic ability, but the guy has no experience being receiver at any level, nevermind at the NFL level. While Butler has a similar skill set as Aiken, he's just a little faster. This doesn't mean he will ever play like Aiken, it just means they are just similar players. While Camp is a playmaker, he just can't stay healthy. Its unfortunate that him and Steve got injured during the same game. Camp was starting to get used on the offense, and his season was cut short because the Ravens couldn't afford to have two receivers out at the same time, so they put both on IR, and brought in two new guys to replace them.

Right now, its ridiculous to guess which receivers will make it. And that's a good problem to have. Personally, the only locks to make the roster are(unless there is an injury) SSS, Perriman, Wallace and Aiken. And I wouldn't be surprised if Moore ends up on IR for a sprained wrist(or something like that)

This topic is quite bittersweet. First of all, its amazing we have so much talent on our roster that its next to impossible to predict what our 53 man roster will be. There are so many options in fact, that I don't recall us ever having so much talent across the board. There are position battles at many positions. Then, there are multiple players vying for the backup roles.

The sad part is, we will have to cut some really good players.

So, who would you have as returner on special teams? Campanaro was given the opportunity last year and performed badly. Clay actually looked good,so i'm saying it's his job to lose. If Reynolds can prove his worth on special teams, he's that much more valuable than a 5th or 6th wide-out on the depth chart. Which is what Camp/Butler will be assuming SSS, Wallace,Aiken and Perriman all stay healthy. And I'm pretty sure Moore makes the team. I don't see any reason that he would go on the IR if he's not injured and shows he can contribute, despite that alot of fans seem to think (wrongly) that a team just puts anyone they want on IR. so that would leave 1-2 spots open, one of which I would think goes to special teams. Clay would be the incumbent, with Reynolds pushing for the job. And as I stated, if the Raven's like Reynolds, they may not want to risk putting him on the practice squad. Camp or Butler would probably be safe on it, however.
