Free Agency and the Ravens

For him it is great. Good for him. I think the Ravens should have locked him down a yr ago.

Wagner was a competent RT but nowhere near being paid the highest amount for a RT in history. No wonder the Ravens passed.

 

If they had gotten him an extension last year his price would have been way down from what he got this year. And there's no guarantee that Wagner would want re-sign here and wanted to test the market. It takes two to do a contract. Maybe the Ravens were willing but he was not.

Exactly. i'm sure the Ravens try to be pro active in signing players before their final year. In general, nobody's dumb enough to do that in this sick FA market.

The agents know the market...the supply and demand. Why sign an extension with a decent pay increase when they can wait a year and get sick money?

And that's what Wager got. Probably 40% more than he's worth. I thought he was a good pass protector and average or below run blocker. I read somewhere he was rated the 9th best RT last year....and

now he gets #1 money.

Why isn't Brandon Williams signed yet? Is that good news for us?

He has a lot of suitors..

 

 

. Side note, Torrey Smith was on wbal tv tonight with his young son promoting his anual basketball game. Sandusky asked the little guy who he wanted his dad to play for next year. His answer shocked both Torrey and Jerry; Seattle Seahawks.... Wonder if the mid over heard something at home...
