papasmurfbell Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I think Ray would go to a bad team for the cash. I can see him saying I can fix this. But in the end it would be for the highest bidder.
thundercleetz Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 If Ray leaves, I am sure that we will bring Scott back. FWI, information on the Ray situation: http://wnst.net/wordpress/drewforrester/20...-zone-with-ray/
cravnravn Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 I've been going back and forth on this...right now I think Ozzie will let Ray test the market to find his value Unfortunately, if Ray gets out of Baltimore in two weeks, Dallas will scarf him up.
papasmurfbell Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Don't count out Zona. There has been no rumors there but he could really help that D. They were so close.
purplebullet52 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 he will be gone by the time we pick and we can't afford to trade up

FWI, information on the Ray situation: http://wnst.net/wordpress/drewforrester/20...-zone-with-ray/ Didn't Drew re-sign Ray himself like 2 months ago? Beside, that is what they threw at him before the season started.
cravnravn Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 he will be gone by the time we pick and we can't afford to trade up We have plenty of money 28 mil under now..Throw out a 4 year 30 mil, 20 mil up front at Ray Ray, thats Cap friendly,,We only need 4 mil to sign our entire draft picks.

I don't think that would happen. The Boys can't throw that much money at Ray. I think they are trying to work out a deal and Ray will either take it or not. See if he will play with another team for less money. Even if the Boys cut TO which would cost them more then it would save, and I think that is who you have to point at for what goes on inside the Boys.
papasmurfbell Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 We do have Ngata and Grubbs and others coming up soon.
cravnravn Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 We do have Ngata and Grubbs and others coming up soon. Isnt Ed Reed next year
purplebullet52 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 no, Reed's contract doesn't expire unitil 2012
REEDPIXOFF Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 We do have Ngata and Grubbs and others coming up soon. Isnt Ed Reed next year Reed is 2013. A lot of restriced free agents next year, only unrestricted free agents are Bannan, Mason, and Clayton.
RavensFanNC Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Just a thought... For all these cats with 52 in their user name, will you still roll with that if Ray goes? Hopefully nobody has to make that decision.

Hopefully nobody has to make that decision. I won't change it, no reason to. You are talking about the best players to step on the field.
BCEagles Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I hear C-Mac saves us 8 million. And our cap was $19 million. So, if I know anything about the cap, we've got 27 million?
BMoreHon Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I am willing to give up my name if it means keeping Ray.
RavensFanNC Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I am willing to give up my name if it means keeping Ray. That's the spirit! Now if we can only get Ray to read this thread, that should convince him to stay.
83eh01 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 If Ray leaves, I am sure that we will bring Scott back. Scott could very well be signed by another team before Ray signs with a team.
geo Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Releasing C-mac, damned. Leaving us with Stover and Ray from 2000 who btw is FAs. Both of them are gone too? Matt, well a one year deal perhaps, he has been declining for the last two seasons. Ray, I would love a one year deal, not happening. 2-4 years not really and not for 15 +15 mil or more. Time to move forward without Ray. In a way it make sense, if we let them go. New coach, new people and new era. Releasing C-Mac now means we are going to make someone rich one of the next days, hopefully three of them. And if it will be Scott and Suggs and then tag JB I like it. Thanks Chris!
cravnravn Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 So, if I know anything about the cap, we've got 27 million? Correct, and more to come when Rolle is released
varaven45 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 So, if I know anything about the cap, we've got 27 million? Correct, and more to come when Rolle is released So, Crav, with the $ 30 M + pending, we can do the following: Sign our LB trio, Jason Brown and Jim Leonard Snag FAs CB Asimago, DE/LB Peppers and WR TJ Houzmenzada Sign all our draft picks Yep, that should do it ! ;)
cravnravn Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Yes, Yes and Yes Deangelo Hall anyone??
varaven45 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Yes, Yes and Yes Deangelo Hall anyone?? Shoot, yeah. Hal and Asimago gives us the Raider CB tandem. Why not ?
yagersports Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I don't see the point of breaking the bank on anyone in FA. Oz made a brilliant move last year trading a third rounder for Washington. I would prefer another move like that this year. Maybe try trading down this year from our first round position since we have a solid team already. This would give us extra 2nd and 3rd round picks to use as trade bait for anothe similar deal. I'm just not big on spending big bucks to acquire another teams cast away. Once in awhile it works, I just don't see anyone this year that is worth spending the money on.
