I think Ed burned the bridge here with the hold out.

Good luck to him there. He is gonna need it.

I am seeing today that he had a hellish childhood. He was in many foster care situations.

Ozzie said he has to be prepared for the giant cap hit.

No. I just see where they have screwed up. I said when they signed Rice again it would be a bad move. I said the same about Joe. So far Joe's contract has been a disaster. I think I am pretty honest evaluator of what the Ravens have and what they will do. At the draft I said while at TE they have talent it will take time for them to get great. I also said they needed a vet to make some big catches they would need. I also said I liked Buck Allen. Whne they signed West I was wondering why they hadn't signed him to the 53 man squad from day one.

Wow. Can you have Joe come on and talk about what he is planning since you know him so much. With Ozzie blinking it looks like he will be here with the huge cap number so be like Cmac who was fine with playing under the tag for the big cash.

They kept backloading McNairs deal eventually making it impossible to deal with.

Hell look at Sanders. Det should be sold to an owner than can get good ppl in there.

Look at McNair in Ten. You have crazy numbers for Rodgers http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/aaron-rodgers/ 5 yrs $110mil. So on avg Joe is making just under $2mil a yr less. Is Rodgers that little bit better than Joe? Not a chance. Kap got a BS contract. Only $12 mil in guaranteed money. His agent screwed the pooch or the 9ers held the line and made a really smart deal. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/colin-kaepernick/ That is not what Ozzie sounded like. His agent and only his agent.

The thing is I think they have come to the conclusion that Linta aint playing games. They will try but they have zero leverage and they know it. So that being said they see it as a PR nightmare if they are forced to cut Joe bc the plan they set with the original contract has blown up in their face. So planning to keep him aroound at $20+ mil will mean other go. Enjoy the losing. This season might just be the start.

Sometimes you have to much stability. When you have things going wrong ie bad contracts that keep blowing up in your face you have to remedy that problem.

Not seeing OL. There is desperate need at pass rush and WR.

You don't know until you try. I guess Washington and co were like I don't think we can win so lets just sit hear with tyranny.

Not likely to get that high. But a 2nd could be had if you highlight him.

There are a lot of team. Haslam has proven stupid. Detroit continues to make bad deals. It can be done if you try.

There is no way Richard Seymore would have returned a 1st round comp pick.

Unless they sign FAs then that comp pick doesn't come. Also usually the comp pick is less in return than a trade gives in return.

Why do that. he is doing everything possible to destroy the game. I have said every time he wil lose in court. I am always told he will win this one or that one and he always loses. He was a rookie this yr. Many times this happens to rookies. They can't keep all of them so they should get value for one guy.

Yeah when you settle it is out of court. That is how it works. A judgement would be in court. Also many times ppl pay off the person who has sued them bc it is cheaper to pay them off. I can't believe I have to explain the obvious.

A team can cut a player at any time for any reason. There was also a settlement on that too.

Tell the GOP with the give aways they made with the omnibus bill.

Ok if a company needs welfare then they need to provide all rights the govt is responsible for. Fans have their constitutional inside the stadium. Also like some states that drug test welfare recipients all employees of companies that need govt money to subsidize them need to submit to them. I would like to see these be national laws and I think corporate welfare will be a thing of the past.
