[News] Late For Work 4/14: Lardarius Webb Essentially Takes $3.4M Pay Cut; Jerraud Powers Retires

[BR News]

Ozzie Newsome's clever cap maneuvering gets both Lardarius Webb and Tony Jefferson for the price of one. The Ravens' first-round pick will likely come down to either receiver or pass rusher. Lions' team president lets schedule release date slip.

A little surprised that Powers didn't go to Dallas after they lost their entire defensive secondary.

I think that Steve Bisciotti is the best owner in the NFL. I'm really glad to see webb back. It"s been proven over the last couple of years that we need good backups and he can be a backup for 2 different positions safety and CB. That makes him a valuable asset.

Ravens are becoming the place to retire from. Kind like a elephant grave yard.

Re-signing Webb and getting Jefferson for the price of what it would have been had they not released Webb, hmm...I guess the posters here who say the front office doesn't know what the h-e-double-toothpicks they are doing were correct all along!

Have to love Webb. That kind of team player is almost non existent in this world. He deserves to retire a Raven.

There are so many directions that we can go... and having said that I really believe that we will trade back! but final mock drafts

Round 1. Ryan Ramczyk- T- Wisc
Round 2. Tim WIlliams-OLB-Bamma
Round 3. Ju Ju Smith Schuster- USC
Round 3. Cam Sutton- CB- Tenn
Round 4. Noah Brown- WR-Ohio St
Round 5. Ben Geodon-ILB- Mich
Round 6. Kareen Are-G-T- FSU

or

Round 1. Hasson Reddick-OLB- Temple
Round 2. Curtis Samuel- WR- Ohio State
Round 3. Jalen Myrick-CB-Minn
Round 3. Will Holden- T- Vandy
Round 4. Zach Banner- T/G- USC
Round 5. Stacy Coley- WR- Miami
Round 6. Ejuan Price-OLB- Pitt

or

Round 1. Corey Davis- WR- Western Mich.
Round 2. Takkarist McKinley- OLB- UCLA
Round 3. Roderick Johnson- -T-FSU
Round 3. Myrick or Sutton- CB - Minn / Tenn
Round 4. Noah Brown- WR- Ohio St
Round 5. Jordan Evans- OLB- Oklahoma
Round 6. Levon Myers- T/G - Northern Illinois

My preference is the first route. I think either Myrick or Sutton will make great CBs in this league but I like Myrick a ton better. I think Noah Brown is a great additional pick up at WR... so much talent but very raw. I really look for 2 picks on the OL.... and finally with some many great CBs in the draft I wouldn't be surprised if we jumped there or jumped for Jabril Peppers. (who is not on any of my draft cards but that kid would be hard to pass up!

As I listen to names getting called from the podium, the 3 guys I'm praying I don't hear called out are M. Williams, C. Davis and D. Barnett. No one else that would be a better fit for us has any chance of falling that far, so this is the group I'm focused on. Of course, it could be that none of these 3 are still there, I'm just hoping at least one of them is.

For more than one of those to be available, it will be really interesting to see which we opt for (or if we go a completely different direction). Need matching BPA and I think any one of these guys are going to be excellent pros.

So Webbs contract is virtually a 6.3 million deal over three years with incentives that could escapade it to 10.5.

he really took a hometown discount to remain a raven
