They had a heap of injuries to key guys. They still have a good roster and have a strong recent history of being a good-great football team. They have one of the best GM and HC combos in the league.

Nowhere close to an "lol" decision.

 

 

 

they are going to be trash next year too

I think like 6 of their best players were on IR last year. It was an anamoly. They have a really talented roster and a great HC.

Yes. Ozzie Newsome knows this and that is why he's going for it now. Signing 31 year old Weddle and 35 year old Ben Watson. Possibly even Mike Wallace as well.

So much for wanting to stay on the West Coast too. Oh well, guess if he wants to wait a few yrs for that ring, go for it, we'll roll with our guys. Raji retiring at 29, that is sort of shocking. Best of Luck to him.

 

He is a big man that has taken a lot of beating, realizing he was looking at close to vet minimum he made the smart move.

Weddle aside, the Ravens are not good. They are the definition of an 8-8 team when healthy, which is what I pegged them for last year. They just have a complete dearth of talent at the skill positions for players that aren't hurt, and their defense isn't good enough to compensate anymore. On the injury front, Smith's Achilles is no joke, and Flacco's late ACL/MCL tear isn't going to have him healthy going into camp, no matter what he says. Is Perriman ever going to play? Who else is there? Justin Forsett? Crockett Gillmore? Kamar Aiken? Meh. It's still early, but I'd be surprised if they were relevant next year.

 

Weddle wanted money. He got money. But let's not pretend the Ravens are remotely good.

Congrats Weddle on getting paid for your last contract.  Too bad it wasn't for a contender like you stated.  But $$$ talks and BS walks.  Not upset at all by this, would I have liked to see him in the Black and Blue sure but am I happy we didn't over pay for a 31 year old safety. absolutely.

      Big changes coming

      By strato · Posted

      OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

      When Kenny Pickett's arm looks noticably zippier than your starting QB you know problems are ahead.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      Correction, meant to say Seattle had a limited passing attack in the SB.  Darnold did do enough to win.
