Given how back injuries can cause of sorts of issues, I wonder if Kaufusi has been thoroughly looked over by doctors. If this were really a minor injury it should not take so long to recover. IMHO it sure sounds as though there may be something else going on there.

For Kaufusi who has yet to spend any time on the field and Stanley, who we don't really need if we don't cut Monroe, we could have had Jalen Ramsey. I am saying that for this reason... I hope for the sake of Kaufusi, that he starts to do something worthwhile because for the remainder of his career, for Ravens fans, he will be forever tied to the Ramsey trade that would have seen the pick we got Kaufusi at going to Dallas along with the Stanley pick. Chances are, based on how far Tunsil dropped, we may have gotten Stanley at the beginning of the second round. So for that 3rd round draft pick, which has yet to even get on the field at all, we could have had Jalen Ramsey. Granted, Ramsey tore a meniscus but I had the same injury and was back snowboarding and playing tennis a month after the injury. For Kaufusi's sake, he needs to do something or be labeled. With the Perriman situation, Ravens fans are gun shy, and any player injured will be beat up until they get on the field.

Anyone who has had a troubled back knows these type of injuries take time. He will be ready when healthy. Be patient and don't rush it rookie.

Considering Monroe is on his way out the door (details coming soon), stanley is now necessary. And Kaufusi will be a steal when all is said and done (best interior rusher in the draft, and his 3cone and short shuttle times are ELITE, dudes explosive).

Not to mention, Ramsey isnt going to live up to the hype. My opinion of course - but id put good money on it.

After Monroe's latest rant this time involving both the NFL and the Ravens specifically, I think his days are numbered. He's probably making sure his days are numbered here, so he can go to another team to rip them off this time.

It's about time... Now get your back in shape and get after the other teams QB's.

I really don't get all the hype about Jalen Ramsey, who some have called a "generational" DB. Really? You mean, like Deion? Not even close. Ramsey has lousy hands and doesn't get many picks. I'm very happy with the Ravens draft. They picked up quality players at many different positions. You'll have proof when cut-down time comes and some underperforming vets are asked for their playbooks.

What rant?

Iv always been supportive of Monroes play when healthy and have mostly defended his bad luck with injuries. I don't mind his Marjuana support as he's never failed a drug test or said anything stupid in public so every man to his own. I even think we will regret moving him by midseason for various reasons. But if he ever goes on a rant against the Ravens then we have a whole new discussion.......

please add a link or something I'm itching now lol

He couldn't resist keeping the Ravens out of it and wanted them to support his stance even though the NFL deemed it illegal.

I think he wanted to speed up his trade/release, it seemed like we were considering sitting on him which would have been bad news for his FA value next season. Now he gets a prove it deal.

Wow that was a low blow. And Monroe knew it. Thus he tweeted later trying to make it less awkward.

Thanks for the link

We could be wrong. But if I was Ozzie and a player that I traded for and have payed handsomely and supported over and over again you get what I mean....

If Monroe intentionally did this to force a trade then throw him for the wolves just like he threw us under the bus. I'd trade him to the the worst team possible. I'd even take a whole round less for him. Heck il trade him for a 7th rounder instead of a 5th so that he'd rot in Tennesse or send him back to Jacksonville lol

the DL should be solid and deep. But there are two words im worried about Brandon Williams. They need to start working on an extension for him.
