I am sure they would relish getting that name back in there. We shall see this season if he is good at anything other than running
-
Yeah, they have serious cap issues coming up..
-
Some kicks from practice
-
Saints claim an open competition at qb, could Roger's land there? Only the shadow knows....cue creepy music
-
Adissa has done nothing to show, neither in college nor yet in the pros, that he is anything but a body on the field so that others may get a rest.
Neither has Ojabo, frankly, it is time to cut bait with one if not both of them
-
Yep, they may need depth, but if the rookie can let loose, and the others maintain, it could be a really good pass rush

Hey, the Panthers just released Clowney...should we have any interest in that??
He had 5 sacks last year, granted on a bad team. Not sure he has much left
-
These young fans, mostly millennials, have no idea what it means to be a fan
-
As long as he remembers to just fill his own shoes instead of trying to fill Tucker's, he should be fine
-
They have offenssive line issues with retirements and such, so we shall see if Dak can stay healfhy

https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/tyler-loop-rhythm-rookie-minicamp-john-harbaugh-justin-tucker
The sound of Tyler Loop kicking a football is now a part of Ravens practices, perhaps for years to come.Head Coach John Harbaugh, who had never seen Loop kick in person before the draft, liked what he saw and heard at rookie minicamp.
"It was good to see it. It was good to hear it," Harbaugh said. "I think as much as anything, it's good to hear a kicker, and the way the ball comes off his foot is impressive."
Loop impressed the Ravens enough to select him in the sixth round, the first kicker drafted in franchise history. He's under the microscope even more after the release of Justin Tucker on Monday, but performing under pressure is part of any successful NFL kicker's DNA.
Loop sounded prepared to handle expectations during his post-draft zoom press conference. He had a hunch the Ravens might draft him after meeting with Senior Special Teams Coach Randy Brown at the NFL kicker's dna.
"We got to chat a bunch and got to exchange film and just talk about that," Loop said. "The moment that I was like, 'Alright, hey, I think we're going to end up at Baltimore,' was right after the Patriots took 'Andy' (kicker Andres Borregales). I was like, 'Alright, here we go. I'm going to be a Baltimore Raven and go to be with Randy and Harbaugh and be a Raven.' I'm pumped."
Loop has arguably the biggest leg in this year's class, making a school record 62-yard field goal at Arizona and converting 63 of 80 career field goal attempts (83.8%). He was six for nine on field goals of at least 50 yards in 2024.
Though he hasn't had a ton of experience kicking in the cold winter climates he will see in the AFC North, Loop isn't worried.
"Being in the Pac-12, I got to go up to Washington, Washington State, and Oregon and play up there in some cold weather and some wind and crazy conditions," Loop said. "It's something that gets me excited.
"I think having a challenge to go conquer and a skillset to refine and really work on and become an expert of kicking in those conditions is something that gets me fired up. Learning from coaches who have been up there for a long time and learned how to be successful in the AFC North kicking, that's something that just the sound of gets me pumped up, so I'm really looking forward to it."

Yep, Dallas may either implode because of the fuse of Pickens or be a tremendous offense because of him
-
FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' search for a No. 2 wide receiver opposite Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb has landed them George Pickens.
The Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to a trade Wednesday that will send Pickens to Dallas for a 2026 third-round pick. The Cowboys will also send a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Steelers and get back 2027 sixth-round pick.
-
Yep, good for him to take advantage of it, but also smart enough to change the pay. On the open market now that teams can see his true talent, he wouldn't get much.
Thanks for the comp pick though
-
Over paid to start with, now accepts a pay cut to stay employed....
Initially slated to make $6.475 million in 2025, Stone has agreed to a $4.9 million deal with $1.5 million guaranteed.
-
Tucker was let go based on the court of public opinion, no limitations on that.... I'm sure the team had indications from the league that they, the league, would be coming down hard on Tucker.
Not sure what to make of Green, high-school, then an annomus claim against him in college. Bad girl friends he used and moved on from?
Time will tell i guess. I'm just surprised that they even opened the door for him given what was going on with Tucker

He was gone the moment a kicker was drafted. They just needed the lawyers to say the team is fully covered by football decisions.
as for green if he stays clean he should be insulated. The statute of limitations will be over in 4 yrs.
For arrests, not civil, Tucker's accusations are almost from 10 years ago
-
I really hate the over seas games, so stupid... yes, I am awake at the time the games start, but I never watch them live, my little protest
-
Yeah, we will see what happens with Green if he balls out, gets a huge pay day and then his accusers come out to sue him in a few years if the Ravens will release him.
Granted, Tucker had his on field issues the past 2 years, still.... not much of a competition, one, two days of watching Loop drill 60+ yarders, in practice
-
Surprised this soon. I know Loop has looked great in early camp, but wowza
-
-
They nabbed some big, powerful, quick footed linemen between the draft and undrafted. Hopefully a few of them work out well. Could set this offense up for a few years.
-
Kind of hard to cut him now, especially with the drafting of a player accused twice, once in high-school, once in college of sexual assault. Now no charges were brought and the case never made it to civil court, but will it if he signs a big deal?
Plus, best to wait & see if the kid they drafted is reliable enough to replace Tucker. He would be a June 1 cut any way.
-
Not much happening between now & then, so not so much as big deal unless he tore it.
The Ravens signed 17 undrafted free agents, most will not make the team, but will 1 or 5?
Okay, next up the draft
in Baltimore Ravens
