vmax Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Here's a list of 16 potential free agents for the Ravens. Marc Bulger, QB Le’Ron McClain, FBJalen Parmele, RBT.J. Houshmandzadeh, WRDonte' Stallworth, WRJared Gaither, OTMarshal Yanda, GChris Chester, CJameel McClain, ILBPrescott Burgess, OLBFabian Washington, CBChris Carr, CBJosh Wilson, CBDawan Landry, SSTom Zbikowski, SHaruki Nakamura, S With a new CBA it looks like there will be a lower CAP so the Ravens will have to let some of these guys walk. If you could only keep half of them, which 8 would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could only keep half of them, which 8 would it be? Both McClain's, Yanda, Chester, Wilson, Zibby, Nakamura, and (gulp!) Gaither.

cravnravn Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Gaither, Housh, McClain, Chester, Stallworth, Gaither, Yanda, Zibby ....These are my keepers Edited June 28, 2011 by cravnravn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenMad Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The 8 I wish to keep and what I think we will realistically keep are a lot different so I will go with who I think we will keep. Le’Ron McClain, FBJalen Parmele, RBMarshal Yanda, GChris Chester, CJameel McClain, ILBChris Carr, CBTom Zbikowski, SHaruki Nakamura, S I think Carr will be cheaper than Wilson which means Wilson is likely gone even though I thought he did really well for us last season. Unfortunately we keep Chester as I don't think there will be much interior O-Line help in free agency. I could see Parmele being kept and then cut in training camp if the rookie impresses.

vmax Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm keeping Bulger, both McLains, Yanda, Wilson, Zibby, Nakamura and Chester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 You cant keep Bulger, dont read too much into he wants to play in Baltimore, he got paid 3 million last year because it was an uncapped season, when this new CBA goes into effect he will be lucky to get vet min of 750,000..Now if he agrees to that than OK I'd keep him as back-up..

vmax Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm not countimg Bulger out. He doesn't want to be a starter...loves being the back up. He might go for less money...certainly not vet minimum. Joe hasn't been seriously hurt yet. If Joe goes down, then so does the season. Even a game or 2 is huge....for that reason the Ravens will work out a deal and pay Bulger enough to keep him here. He's critical, vital insurance for the whole team and franchise....they are playing to get to and win a Super Bowl. Ozzie will not be short sighted in this area.

Unfortunately, somebody's going to be left out. Hopefully, its not Bulger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yagersports Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hasn't there been reports that Bulger is going to Arizona as soon as the lockout is lifted??? I'm pretty sure Arizona has tabbed him as the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Honestly, the only must re-sign free agent I see is Yanda (outside of signing Ngata long-term of course). Outside of that maybe re-signing one of Carr or Wilson, Jameel McClain, and maybe Chris Chester as a back-up. Remember this, there are going to be A LOT of young free agents available (four and five year guys). Re-sign Yanda and Ngata (Ozzie already re-upped Koch and Cundiff before the lockout which was HUGE) and I believe in Ozzie's magic to find sleepers in free agency.

varaven45 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We have got to and I mean got to have our OL in tact. Our lack of an effective OL killed our O and Joe last season . Cant have it again.Message to Oz: do what you will but have Oher, Yanda, Birk, Grubbs and Gaither in camp, healthy and ready to go, and be 2 deep in every OL position.
