[News] Ravens Parting Ways With Outside Linebacker Elvis Dumervil

Not surprised by this at all. Seems like a nice guy. But I'm glad. He was only productive when Suggs was healthy. He's a one-trick pony, and he hasn't been too good at that trick lately. I know his health wasn't great. But other than the 17 sack year, I don't recall a whole lot of production.

rapoport suggested on nfl network that he wouldnt be surprised if doom comes back to the ravens

These are the days when none of what these guys say should be taken seriously... they share/repost/post EVERYTHING they hear, regardless of how trustworthy the source is... For example, just the last 24 hours, Juszczyk was reported to "likely sign with the browns", "almost surely" go to Buffalo - then turns out he'll sign with the 49ers...

Also, a "rumour" that the Ravens have any kind of realistic chance to land Jefferson somehow got loose - and just look at the angry Ravens-fans who took it seriously come here ranting when he signs with the Browns who won't even have to break a sweat outbidding us big time...

Good translations of "media" speak.

So far, all these moves make perfect sense. It's a heavy draft plus we have some young guys pushing for time. Folks may say that Ozzie has lost it but I don't think so and remember, he's not the sole person making these decisions. We only have cap room for a couple top paid stud players (Besides Joe of course :-) ) so in order to get more chances of getting another cheap phenom for 3-4 years like a Ray Lewis or Ed Reed, Ogden, we're probably going to trade back in the draft and pick up a bunch of guys to work out this spring. Going to be an interesting off season!

Let all the old timers go. Replace them with young talent and see what happens. This last few years have been hard to take. I don't want to pay to see only to get nursing home prospects playing. There is some good nucleus players who could become the new leaders. This team has just plain sucked the last few years and something major needs to change.

Maybe, just maybe, Jefferson doesn't want to play in that craphole called Cleveland.
