Couple of weeks let the fun begin, oh how I miss camp in Westimster

Side note, Stillers playing hard ball with Watt, not wanting to bend to his contract demands they leak info of them "reaching out to other teams for possible trade" expect a 2nd rounder....

They should have stripped it down and rebuilt.

[tsylvester]

They will after this season, one last hurrah. Rogers retires alomg with several other players, Howard takes over they try to get back to Stiller football.... Lots of luck with that

[papasmurfbell]

I think they will have a new coach too.  

[tsylvester]

His record of non losing seasons is a farce, no playoff wins in how many years? Winning games with a few touchdowns, mostly field goals the past couple of years.

Yes, I would say if they cant win in the post season, score real points with Roger's, or even with him should I say, Tomlin would have to go

[tsylvester]

Green is 1 of 30 2nd round picks not to be signed, and likely to hold out of camp. They all want their contracts guaranteed. Sorry, while you are likely to make the team as a 2nd rounder, you are not a first..

[papasmurfbell]

If I were Tomlin I would want out.  The past two gms have screwed him with bad rosters but he still makes chicken salad.  
 

With the loss of green I guess passrush is an issue now.  If he is out of camp he has zero value to us.

I’m surprised sports talk isn’t mentioning this.  I’d call it a concern for roster construction.

[oldno82]

Yes...the silence on this is deafening.

[papasmurfbell]

They just assume a better passrush with green out there.  If he isn’t passrush is a concern and they need scheme to get guys free like the last couple yrs.

[oldno82]

Papa, I think even if he is a good pass rusher, they are still going to need to scheme it.

[papasmurfbell]

I think one real guy who can get home can set up others to be free.

[oldno82]

Well, it helps for sure but I'm not a big Oweh fan and van Noy can't have much more left in the tank. So, I guess Green is an important cog in the wheel. Maybe more important than I first thought. It'll be interesting to see if he shows up today (rookies report) or if he is going to hold out. Or, hold in. it's pretty bad that two teams caved on the fully guaranteed money deals for 2nd round picks.

[tsylvester]

Just read an article in the post about Von Miller. Named 3 teams that showed interest in bringing him in. His agent mentioned the Ravens, though he did not say they were one of the 3 teams.

I certainly hope not, 6 sacks last year, none the year before and suspended, though never charged for 4 games because he hit his pregnant baby momma

[papasmurfbell]

He is ring chasing.  That tank is all but fumes now.  If we go that vet route I say clowny.

[tsylvester]

Yeah, I agree, Clowney would be better than Miller here.

[papasmurfbell]

Von is off the board.

[tsylvester]

To the Comandos, 1 year deal, good..

Niners inked their 2nd round pick, he got most, though not all of his $10 mil contract guaranteed 

Ravens placed Emery Jones on the non football injury list...

[papasmurfbell]

I think jones redshirts this yr.

[oldno82]

SFO signed their 2nd round pick with partial guaranteed money terms.

[GrubberRaven]

 

[tsylvester]

It cant top $7 mil, so it should be easy

[oldno82]

Is anything ever easy when it comes to contract negotiations with the Ravens? They still need to re-negotiate Lamar's contract, the elephant in the room.

[oldno82]

Here it is, official: https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/mike-green-rookie-contract-ravens-second-round-pick-2025.

Good...one last distraction.

I've heard rumors that they, front office and Lamar, are close. However true, who knows, but from the same guy who gave out the Likely numbers

[oldno82]

That would be great news. I hope it comes about. Same for Likely. And I’m real glad Green is on board. One less distraction.
