Good for him I've been following him for a while now

When Dallas signs Ware, they will have to pay amazing $$$ to top the deals of AH and Suggs.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw that Suggs signed. Ware deserves more than Suggs. Haynesworth? don't know about that. I think Ware's starting price is gonna be upwards of $45 mil. guaranteed.

The Steelers and Pats would have let him walk and gotten similar production from some guy off the practice squad

Well let's not forget the Pats signed Adalius Thomas to a lot of $$ and didn't get the same production out of him that Baltimore got.

Good point Ruhskins. Even the Pats aren't perfect.

Damm we would have signed him next year LOL

Wonder why it's always been so hard for the Ravens to sign him. This would've been his second year being the franchise player and they always said signing him to a long term deal was their #1 priority. Wonder if there was some doubt in him, whether he was a system guy, or his attitude, but it took a long time to get done when it was their most important task.

I don't think you give a guy that kind of contract if you have boubt. Also paying the franchise tag price is not cheap and I'd guess it came down to negotiating a deal that both sides agreed on.

I think they have some doubt. The deal is very front-loaded, which is because of the no-cap thing next year, but they also won't be on that much of a bind if they want to get rid of him after these next two years. And that is around the time Ray Lewis and some of the other old guys will be leaving and then they can make a judgment about whether he is what he is or is a product of those around him. I think it's more Haloti Ngata getting double teams and Trevor Pryce occupying guys too. I think Suggs is just a good pass rusher that is able to run free because the other guys around him are so solid. I have never really wanted him because of that worry and I never felt he fit our system as a 4-3 DE and I have never been a believer of him as a linebacker.

Yeah right. He's better than anyone we have on our front 7. End of discussion. Suggs has been a major force on a top 5 defense for the past how many years? Plus he's never missed a game in 6 years. Well deserved.

BleedBurgundy · 07-17-2009, 03:53 PM

Suggs, to me, always looks like a ****ing idiot. He's got a bad, bad case of "idiot face."

it's still not as bad as this clown though...
