they have a saying in bmore; "in ozzie we trust" . . they have faith the front office will do whats best for the team, even if it means cutting ties with the face of their franchise. i dont know thoo, losing ray ray and rex ryan has to lead to some kind of drop off.

go skins!!
Based on your comments, common sense would be for the Ravens to re-sign Suggs and Bart Scott (both in their mid to late 20s) and let Ray walk away to a big payday. Although if Ray takes a hometown discount, they would try to keep Suggs and let Scott walk away.

I'd be curious to see how someone like Scott would do in another team. I remember when Ed Hartwell left B'more and went to Atlanta, he didn't do that great.
