NFL Network says TE David Njoku and the Chargers have agreed to terms. One-year $8million deal. I thought he might be good for us on a one year deal.

Koch was an artist; Stoudt was a paintball machine. Each was very good at what they did.

I'm glad they came to a settlement. The players and coaches wouldn't have had much respect for replacement refs after all the hullabaloo about last time.

Actually, I can't even remember Issac making a play but then, my memory ain't what it used to be.

If he's as good as Koch, we'll be alright.

I'm not sure they really need one but if they do decide to opt to acquire one I agree Clowney's the best of the lot.

There's some reporting that the Ravens could use another veteran edge rusher...I'm not sold on the idea but here's a list of who's available: Outside linebacker "Why? Fixing the team's pass rush was one of DeCosta's offseason priorities. While he may have done that on the edge with the signing of Trey Hendrickson and the selection of second-round pick Zion Young, there are still questions. Hendrickson is 31 and played just seven games last year. Young, 2025 second-round pick Mike Green and 2024 third-round pick Adisa Isaac are still young and mostly unproven. There are a ton of accomplished veterans available. "Best available: Joey Bosa, Jadeveon Clowney, Cameron Jordan, Kyle Van Noy, Von Miller, Haason Reddick. This is probably DeCosta's toughest call. In one sense, you can never have enough pass rushers, as the Ravens were reminded of again last year. And there are plenty of guys available who can come in and get six to eight sacks and be impactful players. However, what does that mean for Green and Young's development? And how much do the Ravens want to rely on two 30-plus-year-old players on the edge? Still, it's hard to resist a guy like Clowney, who played really well in his first stint with the Ravens and showed plenty of juice last year in Dallas."

Maybe retiring numbers was alright when the league was young but now that it's aged it's not something that's sustainable. Unless they want to go to three digit numbers which I wouldn't want to see either.

OK so that would give them 95 numbers for 90/53 guys. Tight but do-able. At least until they want to retire another five.

I like it...reminds of the days of 'screaming like a banshee when you enter the Lions den with a spear!'

Do the Ravens retire the numbers of the players in their Ring of Honor?

True, as rosters have expanded, another vote for the 'good old days'.

I wish the NFL had not gotten away from the old numbering series...QBs in the 0-19 range, RBs in 20-40, WRs in the 80s, tackles in the 70s, and so on. It was easier when watching a game to identify the player's position when the numbering scheme was like that. Now it's all jumbled up.

Agree. Hopefully the vets help keep him clean too.
