Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

[quote=Paintrain;1054969]My ideal free agency would be:
Emmanual Sanders-WR
Dexter McCluster-WR/PR/KR
Michael Oher-RT
Evan Deitrich-Smith-C
Sam Sheilds-CB
Malcolm Jenkins-S

None of these players should break the bank and they're all in that 25-27 yr old window going into their second contract and have some upside.[/quote]

I like players like that. I think a couple of those players might stay with there teams. Specifically Sanders, McCluster and Oher. But you never know.

The Steelers ($12 mil over) and Chiefs ($4 mil under) both have cap issues and while the Ravens are sitting at $12 mil over, they also have to sign their other starting tackle Eugene Monroe so Oher probably will be available.

I think I read that the Steelers are thinking of letting go of Troy and redoing Big Ben's contract to free up space to resign Sanders and I believe Ziggy Hood. But who knows it may not be enough in the end.

Either way getting a couple of those players would be great value. It is hard to tell what will happen at this point.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

Oher really sucks. There has to be better RT better than him.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

I would also add Toby Gerdhart to spell Morris and trade Helu or make him the 3rd down back.

Oher has been pretty bad for them as of late.

Ah, ok. I didn't watch much of the Ravens this season. Historically he's always been a good pass protector and that's a big need at that position.

[quote=DynamiteRave;1054919]I didn't say they were a good core. :silly:[/quote]

Lol.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

I think Oher will hit the market, and I think he's pretty good, but I don't feel like shelling out a 5-year contract at the RT position. I suppose that's the solution I wanted a year ago when Andre Smith was available, but now, not so much.

Oher has been replaced by Monroe on the left side and the salary cap for the Ravens is tight. Oher will be a perfect fit opposite Silverback.

Move Lichtensteiger to center, then bring in a guard like Geoff Schwartz and start LeRibeus or Gettis whomever plays better at the other guard. Both of these guys need to develop and gain weight.

As a bottom dweller team we are going to have to shell out some 5 year deals for premium talent.

[quote=Lotus;1054958]In the last two years combined he's only taken one kick to the house. This is very different from his glory years, when he had 5 or 6 a season.

If I remember correctly that 1 was against us last year lol. Bad memories. It would be fine if our ST hadn't been so hilariously terrible last year.

Of course it was against us!

I may be wrong, but didn't Methuselah take one to the house against our ST last season? There were so many big returns against us that I've lost track of them.

According to profootball focus Oher was one of the worst right tackles in football. Polumbus was one of the best.

We need to retain Keith Burns. His special teams make history!
