cravnravn Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Why would the franchise tag even be in the negotiation? He has a lot to prove. I'd let him walk, we can get a te anywhere, it's a position we are good at getting filled. Edited February 18, 2014 by cravnravn Quote

cravnravn Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 How about Juice? I seen him a few times on special teams, that's about it. Let Juice, First down, and Dickson battle it out. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 If he doesn't take a reasonable price then let him go. Quote
Money Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 How about Juice? I seen him a few times on special teams, that's about it. Let Juice, First down, and Dickson battle it out. Good lord. That's a scary proposition. Not quite the TE trifecta I want going into next season. The Ravens will not overpay Pitta. If he ends up walking, there will definitely be other affordable options. This is also a deep TE draft class. Given the fact that it is also a very deep WR class, there are weapons to be had which is why I'm hoping this draft is just as tailored to improving the offense as last year's was to improving the defense.

oldno82 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah, I'm not in favor of balling up a lot of money in Pitta. As was said above we can find as good a TE in this year's draft. Quote
RavenMad Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I'm not convinced this isn't a ploy to try and get a long term deal worked out. The Ravens are using the TE franchise tag over Pitta as a way of getting a good deal for the team and possibly as a way of seeing more of how Pitta does after that hip injury. Pitta's agent is saying he will look for the WR tag because that would make it hard for the Ravens to be able to afford Pitta in terms of this year's cap hit. It's all posturing at the moment. I still expect to see something worked out with Pitta and the Ravens. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I wonder how much Joe pouts if Pitta leaves. Quote
cravnravn Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I wonder how much Joe pouts if Pitta leaves.Why would he pout? He didn't pout when he lost heap and mason. Joe's a big boy, he'll be fine 1 Quote
