papasmurfbell Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I don't think any of them get the tag. Ravens brass said they would only use it on Joe. None of them are worth tag money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutsideRzAcE Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 If they do backtrack and use it I'd say ellerbe is most likely. Krugers tag would be way too high and I think they can bring reed back without the tag because of his desire to stay in baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Of the 3 I would say Ellerbee. I would let Kruger and Reed leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 With Joe's new deal, Ozzie might be able to keep all 3....might because there is Boldin, Leach and Dickson to consider. Kruger is an interesting case. He's a situational player...but the situations are critical. He does generate pressure on the QB and get 13 1/2 sacks. He did it well last season and was a difference maker in the playoffs. So...he's not an every down guy.Certainly there are teams out there who will want to over pay. We've seen this happen. Here's why Ozzie might do a full court press: They have nobody else besides Suggs who can pressure the QB and they spent a lot of time developing Kruger. He knows his role in this defense and plays it well. If the money is close then he'll stay. If not, then he's certainly gone because this is his one last shot to cash in. If Suggs comes back healthy and in shape, then it would be a tuff tandum for offensive lines to block. This would be a good beginning towards rebuilding the D.

cravnravn Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 The only thing in our favor with Krugs is, he didnt come into his own til the 2nd half of the season. Maybe he'd accept an incentive filled contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 He is going to take a monster deal when some sucker team offers it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/04/ed-reed-hasnt-heard-from-ravens-cant-imagine-playing-elsewhere/ Ed Reed hasn’t heard from Ravens, can’t see himself elsewhere Now that Joe Flacco’s contract is done, the Ravens are free to start talking to other free agents they would like to keep around for a Super Bowl defense.Safety Ed Reed might be on that list, but the team hasn’t reached him yet. Reed told the NFL Network Monday that he’s yet to hear from the Ravens about a contract for the 2013 season, but said that he hopes they call soon because he’d like to remain in Baltimore.“I haven’t spoken to anyone. Hopefully that call comes soon,” Reed said. “I’m a Raven. I plan on being a Raven. I couldn’t see me anywhere else right now.”Reed might not be able to envision himself in another uniform, but he didn’t sound totally closed off to the possibility that he’ll continue his career with another team. He said he thinks he should be paid a salary based on both what he’s done in the past and his current ability, a nebulous price that could push him out of the range that the Ravens are willing to pay. If that happens, Reed said he’ll “adapt” and move along.Reed should have other suitors, so that plain to remain a Raven may need to be revisited at some point in the next few weeks.

oldno82 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ellerbe is probably their top target because he's probably gonna be cheaper than Kruger.I have a feeling Krugs is gone as is Ed.They'll keep Boldin (probably restructure). If Vonta won't take a cut they'll probably cut him. We'll see how many rabbits Oz can pull out of the hat. Unbelievable that he attained just a $7mil cap hit for 2013 with Joe!

papasmurfbell Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Leach only played in I think 42% of the snaps. He really is not that important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincac Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/cap-hit/ ^ Great website for the offseason. Next season will really depend on Ngata and Suggs coming back 100% imo. Tough having our two highest-paid players as a shell of themselves this season.

cravnravn Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why in the hell is Cundiffed counting as 1.8 mil against our cap, I wouldnt pay him, what jury would rule in his favor, the proof is in the kick.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 30 mil dollar Cap hit tied up with 3 players, I know Oz said he wouldnt restructure, to keep the team intact, but in our case he should restructure..And Webb, I dont know, this is 2 serious knee injuries, not so sure if that warrants a 5+ mil dollar salary.

He has already been paid but half of the rest of the SB counts to this yr. 30 mil dollar Cap hit tied up with 3 players, I know Oz said he wouldnt restructure, to keep the team intact, but in our case he should restructure..And Webb, I dont know, this is 2 serious knee injuries, not so sure if that warrants a 5+ mil dollar salary.The same could have been said about Jamal.

vmax Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 A caller on the radio yesterday said Krueger only had 1.5 sacks before Suggs came back. He's going to dissapoint some team who signs him for $10 mil a year. He needs somebody that the o line has to respect playing the opposite rushing end to be effective.

colincac Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Agreed. Kruger played well and finally came into his own this year, but he didn't show any sort of dominance whatsoever. He played as an above-average 3-4 OLB and I think any team paying him big bucks is betting on his continued development, which could very well happen.

OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats unreal, yes he had 1 sack week 1 vs Cinncy, then a half sack week 7 vs Leaveland..Suggs returns and its lights out for Kruger...Excellent point, Kruger needs a supporting cast, and in Leaveland he will not be getting it..

papasmurfbell Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/09/dannell-ellerbes-agent-got-quick-interest-from-others/ Dannell Ellerbe’s agent got quick interest from othersThe market might be slower than normal, but the agent for linebacker Dannell Ellerbe said the interest in his client was immediate. Agent Hadley Engelhard told Jim Corbett of USA Today there were a number of calls last night. “I’ve had dialogue with teams,” Engelhard said. “There were several. One team in particular called me at 12:01.” Of course, one of those apparently wasn’t the Ravens, as Engelhard said he hadn’t received an offer from Ellerbe’s own team despite a report they were ready to make a “significant offer” to the linebacker. “There’s nothing to report right now,” Engelhard said Saturday. “I read that, too. “I expect things to pick up at the beginning of the week as we approach Tuesday. That’s where we are.” This weekend seems to be working well for the guys who want to squeeze their own team one last time but don’t really want to leave. But for Ellerbe, it might be a taste of something bigger to come, especially considering the way the Ravens are trying to squeeze their own.
