tsylvester Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Not much of a loss, he couldn't stay on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yep. I would have done KO over Yanda though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yep. I would have done KO over Yanda though.Yanda is a proven guard who can slide out to right tackle in a pinch. An all pro guard too boot. KO is a good guard who may or may not work out as a tackle, who also wanted left tackle money. I wanted the Ravens to keep him too, but his price was too high.

OutsideRzAcE Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Stupid. Keep him for depth if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 But I look at the long term. I like Yanda but he will be effective for a shorter period than KO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Stupid. Keep him for depth if nothing else. He would be a distraction, he did not want to be here as a back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Yeah, things were getting out of hand with Monroe. He had to go. Don't want any negativity to affect the team, especially since it's so young.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutsideRzAcE Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 That's interesting because Monroe never gave the impression he was the type of person to cause disruption. One would have thought from all the missed games he's had the past few years he'd have no issue sitting and collecting a check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Monroe turned down the Giants offer because he wants to play and be paid as a left tackle. They felt he was not a left tackle any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The Ravens are historically smart in free agency, but the deal with Monroe will rank as the biggest disappointment in the team’s 20-year existence, exceeding the ones given to offensive tackle Leon Searcy ($3 million in 2001) and Domonique Foxworth ($16.5 million guaranteed in 2009).http://espn.go.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/28191/deal-with-eugene-monroe-will-go-down-as-one-of-ravens-worst-in-franchise-history He played 17 games and was paid 17 million $.He has no reason to bitch.
