JPPT1974 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Really hate that for him. But in a sense, it is time to move on.
oldno82 Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I see the Bills giving him more money then we canQuite possible. We don't have enough cap space to sign him and 2 offensive lineman. Unless they really do like Urschel and Jensen we'll get out bid.
Tornado700 Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 The dead money is $4.4 million so we don't gain a whole lot. Anybody think we should go after Macklin? I don't know much about him.Yes, we should do everything in our power to get him. We NEED this guy. If all Maclin wants is the big bucks, we have little chance of getting him. If Maclin is more interested in being a Raven starter and getting 100 passes thrown to him by Flacco this season, the Ravens will be his team. Right now, I say it's about a 50-50 shot. Fingers crossed. He could be our next Steve Smith or Derek Mason. Harbs and Ozzie need to fly him here for a dinner/meeting with all the trimmings.
tsylvester Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 He is tentatively scheduled to meet with the Ravens tomorrow, if the Bills pass on him today...
Tornado700 Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 So if pitta retires do we still get hit with a cap n $2.5 million.
papasmurfbell Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Yes, we should do everything in our power to get him. We NEED this guy.

Fingers crossed. He could be our next Steve Smith or Derek Mason. Harbs and Ozzie need to fly him here for a dinner/meeting with all the trimmings.He is a pro FA so it is about the money. It is not like you come to bmore to get on a championship team to get that ring.
Tornado700 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 He is a pro FA so it is about the money. It is not like you come to bmore to get on a championship team to get that ring.Somebody is going to pay him big money. It won't be us, yet we need this guy more than they do.
GrubberRaven Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Released...injury settlement...save 2.5 million http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Ravens-Release-Tight-End-Dennis-Pitta/56db5aee-b073-4dcf-a82a-ecc2f00167e3
tsylvester Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Sorry $1.96Is that for this season & next or just this season?
papasmurfbell Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 https://overthecap.com/player/dennis-pitta/1373Looks like 2.5 for this season.
GrubberRaven Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Plan to sign Maclin? He left Buff without a deal...
papasmurfbell Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 With less than 3.6 mil I don't see how they pull that off. They will need more space for injuries.
tsylvester Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 So $2.7 in dead money this year, $2.2 mil next year. Savings, of $2.5 this year, $3 next year.... Thanks for the link.
ravinmaniac52 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 Wonder why Benjamin Watson is still on this team?
papasmurfbell Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Probably bc they have guys who are injury prone at the pos. Also they are hoping bc he has been productive that he can come back.
tsylvester Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Wonder why Benjamin Watson is still on this team?Because then everyone would realize Ponzy Schemer has truly lost it when it comes to picking players. Right now, only a small handfull of us know it.....
papasmurfbell Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I just don't see that the Ravens need another possession receiver.
tsylvester Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I just don't see that the Ravens need another possession receiver.They need a slot guy who knows how to find openings, Decker does that very well. Oh and one who can catch & run.
papasmurfbell Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 The catching and running part is really on Joe. He doesn't lead his receivers.
vmax Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 They need a slot guy who knows how to find openings, Decker does that very well. Oh and one who can catch & run. I'm with you on this.He's very reliable and a red zone monster.....a scoring machine.But....he has a hip thing going too.
vmax Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Lest we forget....he was great. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Top-Plays-of-Dennis-Pittas-Ravens-Career/32100ec9-9160-4018-9c00-81e07eb60cf0
