Rumors on the you tube, believe or not, from former players, claim the deal with Lamar is just about done and will be announced this week.

I will believe it when the team announces it..

Interesting. I guess we shall know very soon one way or another.

[papasmurfbell]

If we don’t have a deal by the day before fa it’s not happening.  So he has about 36 hrs from now to ink.  It really to late now since you should be working deals now to ink on wed.  How can you work a deal when you don’t know how much you can spend.

[tsylvester]

The fact that they made the trade and inked, to a small deal, Huntley, pretty much says that they are confident a deal will get done.

It's not as if they are going after more high priced free agents,

[papasmurfbell]

Fa and the draft is how the ol should be fixed.

[tsylvester]

Dolphins take $ 99 mil cap hit by cutting Tua, post June 1 designation, $67 mil this year, $32 mik next year. wowza

[GrubberRaven]

Oh yee of little faith...

We hit a complete reset on coaching philosophies with new coaches.  We brought in a guaranteed play maker on D after failing to draft one and feeling like the draft this year doesn't have one at our place IN the draft.  We haven't played a down yet and everyone is feeling like it's over.  

We were contenders pre-season last year and didn't sniff the playoffs. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

[tsylvester]

True Grub, thanks for bringing the sunshine

I called for them to be far worse last yr than in 24.  I saw the ol as an issue.  We ended up being 2 games worse than I expected.

You're special papa, I don't think anyone else in the world saw every player along the offensive line regress, but you.

[tsylvester]

Ravens bring back John Simpson 3 years, $30 mil

[GrubberRaven]

Papa you're always negative and not something I'd be proud to hang my hat on.

 

Stout and Likely to the Giants
Dre'Mont Jones to NE

and just saw Linderbaum to the Raiders

Better than Falaffle

[GrubberRaven]

I'm betting on coaching this year...I mean Harbaugh brought Roman back on board.  The guy is too loyal.

[tsylvester]

Stout was too inconsistent, not too peeved about him going. Lindy hurts a little, but for what he signed for and with a crap org like the Raiders, bye bye

[tsylvester]

So Likely signs for the same contract he was offered last year by the Ravens.

Lindy, for essentially the same contract the Ravens offered.

Good luck to both of them but they are replaceable. Lindy was always a finesse player, Ravens appear to want to get back to power football.

Warhop set us back...He's like Trump is to America right now...

[GrubberRaven]

Kolar to the Chargers

[tsylvester]

Plenty of tight ends in the draft who will do fine here, more athletic than Kolar, better runners after the catch

You make a good point. The Ravens are betting on better coaching this year and since the old ways didn't produce a SB visit that just might do the trick. Warhop was a fiasco.

[tsylvester]

Lots of trades this year, wow..

[tsylvester]

Oweh to the Comandos for 4 years, $100 mil, $68 mil guarenteed

I didn’t expect the whole ol.  I did think Stanley would falter.  I had questions at guard. But as a whole I didn’t see coming.

the problem is rookie te don’t tend to do well.  Most are a little weak and never asked to block in school so they aren’t ready yr 1.

[oldno82]

If Lamar doesn't sign very soon there won't be much left in free agency.

[papasmurfbell]

That is why I said it really should have been done already.  We are just hearing the deals that have been worked on for a week or so.

This completely blows my mind. He had a good half season and turned it into $100 mil.
