And this is why I think we can let Ray walk if he doesn't like the offer. He will always be thought of as a Raven. Rice and Montana will always be 49ers. This isn't the 50's and 60's anymore. Freeagency has chenged the way the game works.

I have stopped caring about baseball. I see it's demise on the horizon.

The thing is who wants to go into a 45 min beer line every half hour? Also I don't like Bud. Will they provide my flavor?

He has done it to Cory Dillon, another RB, and WR that he forced to stay in the 90's.

The problem is that the crowd likes the debauchery. If you take that away then there is no reason to go. I have only placed bets on horse racing at the preakness. I would bet that 50,000 of that infield crowd are the same. They also will not comeback. So now you have your betting dropping into the hole. They are going to lose a fortune on this. Preakness will be in another state very soon I believe.

How about Suggs, heap and Cmac for bouldin and middle teir picks. That would be great. I want this guy so bad.

This is too funny. Dad is an ahole.

Nah it is still only 5. The official bowl from a few years ago doesn't count.

I could not agree more. So they will keep it at the same old $50-60 price and you can get raped on beer and water prices. Oh they give you what 4 songs from 3 bands for the loss. Enjoy your 5000 idiots and loss of millions of dollars. If you go to Preakness you are paying for headinism and you understand the consequenses. Nobody on the infield is there for the horses.

He plays for Mike Brown. Brown lioke he always does will make him stay. He has done thing to players over and over so don't get your hopes up.

I love it. I think he will be so useful in the future.

Baltimore Ravens - *Hakeem Nicks (WR) North Carolina

about.com 26. Baltimore Ravens - Alphonso Smith, CB Wake Forest Team Needs: WR CB ILB DE DT Both of the Ravens starting cornerbacks are on the wrong side of 30, so it would probably be wise to bring in someone with the potential to eventually take over. After Jenkins and Davis, Smith is the best prospects left at the position this year. Korny's Cartel 26) Baltimore Ravens- WR Brian Robiskie Flacco was solid in his debut season, but he needs more weapons to throw to going forward. Robiskie, the son of former NFL player Terry, is polished, dependable, and professional. And just bland enough to fit right in with the Ravens. Sports city #26 Alphonso Smith Ht/Wt: 5-9/192 lbs Position:CB Drafted From: Wake Forest Class:Senior NEpats 26. Baltimore Ravens Clint Sintim, OLB, Virginia Quick and strong, Sintim is tailor-made for a 3-4 defense. He rushes well off the edge and can cover a bit as well. 57. Baltimore Evander Hood, DT, Missouri Ray Lewis always likes big people to protect him. sportsline 26.Baltimore Ravens Larry English, OLB, Northern Illinois: Ravens veterans Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Bart Scott are all scheduled to become free agents, with at least one likely to leave. English, too fast off the edge for an athletic group of offensive tackles to handle at the Senior Bowl, could contribute immediately draft king 26. Baltimore Ravens - Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina ~ The Ravens used a first round pick on a wide receiver in 2005 with Mark Clayton. But Clayton (after having 931 receiving yards in 2006) has not lived up to expectations the past two seasons, and a talent like Nicks would be a solid addition to a Ravens team that could use additional targets for quarterback Joe Flacco. OH yeah ffjungle 26. Baltimore Ravens - Maybin, Aaron, DE Penn State The likelihood of all three Suggs, Lewis, and Scott staying with the Ravens will not be good. They could look to find another CB, but could very well decide to go with an explosive pass rusher like Maybin. 57. Baltimore Ravens - Brinkley, Jasper, ILB South Carolina Even if Ray Lewis stays he won't be around forever. Getting a young prospect like Brinkley.

Cmac is so out of here. He has been a POS for a while now. We should never have given him that deal. We got 2 good seasons out of him. HE is all about Cmac.

Everybody doesn't finnish first and someone has to lose. He should not have been fired. There should be a mercy rule so things don't get that bad.

I have said pay Jason from day one. He is our most important FA. Lock him down before anyone else can sign him.

fftoolbox 26. BAL: Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR Maryland QB Joe Flacco needs more athletic targets that the old Derrick Mason and the underachieving Mark Clayton (although he managed to improve late last season) . After the big and powerful Heyward-Bey, the WR class suffers a noticeable drop-off in talent. 58. BAL: Tyrone McKenzie, LB, South Florida Ray Lewis' contract negotiations and age could force the Ravens to draft an eventual replacement. McKenzie is athletic, fast and from south Florida. The next Lewis? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_967wudb-I fantasyfootballjungle.com Shawn Sottosanti 27. Baltimore Ravens - Sintim, Clint, OLB Virginia With Terrell Suggs likely leaving for free agency the Ravens quickly look to fill up that hole. Clint Sintim can slide in at the Outside Linebacker spot or at Defensive End very much like Suggs could do so it seems like common sense. I am not liking this. 58. Baltimore Ravens - Dillard, Jarett, WR Rice Early at his stay at Rice, Jarett Dillard was heavily praised as possibly being the next Jerry Rice. I highly doubt he will ever make that big of an impact or put up those numbers, but he will be quite the player and by moving Mark Clayton to the slot could help that Ravens offense explode.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqEUdRqAxgs...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWcP-G4myh0...feature=related I have watched some of the highlights and I am impressed. I think he is a much better tackler than Deion was. There is a mock with him as our 2nd pick. I think that would be outstanding.

Unless they add Jason Brown into that deal then no deal.

New NFL Draft 26. Baltimore Ravens: Vontae Davis, CB, ILL The Ravens get a very gifted CB here in Vontae Davis. He is my second ranked CB in this 2009 NFL Mock Draft though he might be the most athletically gifted. I think if you put him in the secondary with Ed Reed they will be even scarier in 2009 then they are right now. Walter Football 26 Baltimore Ravens: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri Mark Clayton has started playing really well lately, but with Derrick Mason, who just turned 35, a year away from hitting free agency, it's time the Ravens begin developing their next No. 1 receiver for Joe Flacco. 57 Baltimore Ravens: Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest Baltimore is pretty old at cornerback and could use some fresh legs at the position. The defense's only weakness is getting beat on the deep ball. Hopefully the addition of Alphonso Smith can change that. 88 Baltimore Ravens: Mitch King, DE, Iowa Some defensive line help/depth for the Ravens. I had an offensive tackle here in one of my previous updates, but there aren't any available here who wouldn't be reaches. Draft dog 26 WR, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maryland (JR) Bey hasn't put up huge numbers, but he will be hot property due to his size (6' 3" 206 lbs) and elite speed (4.39). 58 RB, Donald Brown, Connecticut (JR) Ray Rice and Donald Brown could be the running backs of the future. Brown is vastly talented, led the nation in rushing in 2008 with 1,822 yards and 17 TDs. This pick doesn't make sense with the 3 backs we have but if Willis were gone I like it. Draft Countdown 26 BALTIMORE RAVENS: D.J. MOORE, CB, VANDERBILT 5-10 184 Football future 26 Baltimore - Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers Joe Flacco has been a surprise but in order for him to elevate his play next year, he needs more playmakers. Britt is the type of big intermediate receiver that would quickly become Flacco’s favorite target. On a veteran team that features players like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, Britt’s primadonna attitude would be put to rest very quickly. It would be a great situation for him to maximize his potential.

I am tired of the rediculoius penalties but if they have them then they should use them when they apply. They waited to throw the flag on Stone during the comercial so why didn't they flag this guy with all the time it took to cart Willis off?

Hell no. One Ray has earned the right to get the payday he needs to live on for the rest of his life. It would be disrespectful to tag him at this point in his career. Also we cannot break the bank for him. If he leaves for a big payday then have a nice life. I would give him 3 yrs for $15 mil 10 upfront. I fully expoect that to be to small and Ray to leave.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/20/...ne-in-st-louis/ How about Torry Holt. Right player right price. He would be another good WR to bring in with a Rookie to solidify the wideouts for a couple of yrs.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/25/...gles-3-million/ I love performance based pay.
