That's the thing: they can't cut him. He'd be $26m in dead money. It's why giant signing bonuses and restructures are stupid. Players gain additional leverage b/c they cost extra money to cut. Somehow Flacco will have even more leverage then than he did coming off a Super Bowl win. He is their QB for a long time unless he just falls off a cliff

Played DE in the 3-4 of Dallas before coming to New York and playing DT in their 4-3 system. I imagine he would move back to DE with Green Bay. He's good when he's out there, but he has had some injury issues recently. Started the season on the PUP last year due to knee surgery, which even when he came back it looked like he might not have fully recovered from.
Is it really that hard to find a fast guy that runs only screens and vertical routes?
Track down goldeneye in the cfb thread.

Big covered most of it. He's played the 3-4 DE in Dallas so he's certainly familiar. Played well there and when healthy, he played very well as a 4-3 3-Tech. The health issues are a concern. Spent most of 2009 as an ineffective body due to injuries. 2010 and 2011 were top quality years. 2012, back to the injury well...
Rams got Chris Givens in the 4th and he had 5 or 6 catches over 50 yards. But a couple of those were on slants (slants slants slants) that broke long

You told me this before, I think.
Interesting Ted's bringing him in then despite the injuries.
But as I said he's younger. The defense needs some toughness so he'd be a good pickup.
I think they are trying to find guys that can DL on passing downs when they go to a 2-4-5 look or on their psycho package. Canty is more athletic than Raji so he'd be a pretty good fit there potentially. He should also be cheaper than the other options given his injury history. I wouldn't say interest in him precludes interest in others, however.

Cosell thinks Barkley is a 4th round talent, alot of other people are saying he could challenge Geno for number 1 Qb
Sam Bradford is a bad qb though, I believe we could have anyone fast run straight and have Ben fuck it going deep with relatively the same success as Mike Wallace. I dont know who ever wrote that also didnt think to account for we're against the salary cap so signing a guy who didnt give a single fuck last year to 50 million or whatever deal is insanely dumb and only bad teams make those types of moves.

I still believe he can be a pretty good Qb maybe even Elite, i would of been happy with him being the Browns qb.....I still believe!
They're all correct.

Saw a mock that had the Jets take them in the second. My heart skipped a beat out of joy, imagine if it really happened.

Jadeveon Clowney is an athletic monster. He reportedly ran a 4.5 40-yard dash. http://cbsprt.co/Clowney40

That's crazy If he really did. Next Years draft is gonna be amazing
If the Steelers need another WR who runs real fast in a straight line, went to UT, comes cheap, and drops passes, they can draft Goodwin
You are a smart man, BG. Holmgren tried to trade for him, though that's not a huge endorsement anymore ha
Someone mentioned on Twitter that Courtney Brown also ran a 4.5 and was even heavier, so that's not really a big deal for DL

One thing to note Haley runs more of a dink and dunk offense, Arians like to air that bitch out often. So thats another thing to consider when examining how big a loss Mike Wallace will be.
What the fuck do people watch these days. Just, smh
I remembered it from FMT posting it after a 49ers win this year.
Thats explains everything.

FMT, your avatar looks so good. Makes me smile every time. A big, slack-jawed, toothy Ray Lewis smile, like the he's sporting there.

Jay Gruden on Andy Dalton
And obviously he needs to get better with his deep ball accuracy and touch, and theres not really one part of his game that he cant really improve upon. He has to get better in every phase scramble ability, foot quickness, accuracy, deep accuracy, short, anticipation, Gruden said in an interview with WLW, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. Hes got a long way to go. Hes done some great things for a second-year quarterback, won a lot of games and thrown some good touchdown passes, but we feel like he has not come close to his potential. Thats our job to get it out of him. And he knows hes gotta play better, and we all do.

Right but they haven't even taken a look at Jenkins.
First guy I've heard them look at is Canty.
Well, the Pats haven't won the SB since Rodney Harrison stopped suiting up in the backfield.
2013: Ravens - Reed
2012: Giants - I am not a fan of Rolle so pass
2011: Packers - Collins :*(
2010: Saints - Sharper (had a hell of a year but not much of an impact on the game that I recall)
2009: Steelers - Troy

All most spit out my drink when I say this lol
He never got over MoJo knocking the steroids out of him.
Think Welker will be back. Vollmer I dunno. If they don't try and bring him back, like Jake Long, it probably means his medicals aren't so hot
Pretty much knocked his soul out of his body with that hit as well.

Damn hope Merriman has a good rest of life if that dosent sound wierd, I remb my first or second year of fantasy I tried to draft him cause I thought no one knew about him.
Probably how they get their drugs in the country
Leave my bro alone you thug.
First you guys took his teams Superbowl. At least leave FMT with his dignity (look it up, this is not a word used very often by Ravens, who will eat anything).
FMT stay strong. Your day is coming. Pretty soon the Niners will be total garbage and rob some good team of a Superbowl.

You could have said Kenny Phillips
He's more comparable to Reed than Rolle who played slot corner and SS more than FS.FrenchMovieTheme

He's "only" 13 million in dead money. Yes, it would hurt like hell to cut him, but if he is worthy of being cut in 3 years, then the Ravens will bite the bullet and suck for a year.

Not that they are gospel, but do you have a link to the 13m number?

nah it was just an analysis of the contract from another forum. I could be easily full of shit.
You are right that they can cut him after three years if they need to move on. At that point, his dead money is lower than his cap number
Another breakdown of his deal. Details the option bonuses a little better
