I doubt it, honestly. They resigned Kasay and Delhomme and they're both old Panther mainstays. Moose isn't slowing down yet...he's still a reliable number 2 and an important component of our running game. Unless he decides to retire, I think he'll sign on for another 2 years or so.

he's still in great shape and is probably the best blocking WR in the game unless hines ward is still in the leauge.

He still can school DB's just fine. And with his long stride he still has some wheels(KC anybody?).

I can see him resigning here for a vet minimum or slightly higher, this stud's not ready to be put out to pasture.

Vet minimum? You pay a man what he's worth, and Moose is worth more than the vet minimum.

I'm reminded of Mike Sellers, another old guy and Pro Bowl FB for the Redskins. The skins tried to pay him the vet minumum, which is what he has been paid throughout his career (during which Sellars has been consistently been recognized as on of the premier run-blockers in the league). That was the last straw for Sellars, and he rightly held out for more (unheard of for a FB to hold out). To paraphrase a quote of his, Sellers said something like, "I'm not playing like I'm worth the vet minimum."

And at this point in his career, Moose isn't playing like he's only worth the vet minimum.

I hope he will be around a few more years, but these things are hard to predict. we could have injuries play a role in this, we could have a different coaching staff come in( i dont want that). It is also possible moose could loose a step too much and we wont want him(see marvin harrison). I feel like he has 2 more years for some reason but that is a hunch, i just can see him doing good and they sign him to a 2 year deal and then he is around for one and the gone.

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Hendrickson to Ravens

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
