Ravens quarterback Troy Smith has made no secret that he wants out of Baltimore. He's got his chance.

Smith's agent Ralph Cindrich tweeted that Smith was tendered at the original round level; the Ravens will only get a fifth-round pick if he signs an offer sheet and goes elsewhere.

Quarterback John Beck was also tendered, so the Ravens have a backup in place if Smith leaves. The decision by Baltimore appears to be inviting a possible trade.

The question now becomes whether there is any market for Smith.

Im guessing Buffalo or Cleveland makes a run for him.

Before this last season, I would've been all for it, but he was sick or something during the preseason and he just never looked right when I saw him play after that.

If he's healthy, he's got skills though.

He looked fantastic when they used him in trick/wildcat passes in 08 (had a nice deep bomb back to Flacco that was excellent).

He also looked good in the preseason this year.

Or how bout his running ability:

Give the kid a chance and I promise you he will succeed. If nothing else he would finally bring some legitimacy to our pass out of the wildcat. Who in this draft that you can get in the 5th has looked nearly as good as him in college? And he has proven he can read NFL defenses.

i like troy smith....i would love to see him and matt fight it out for a starting job
:smash: Moore is mostly going start this coming. What is going to take for some of you to relize Moore has proven he is a starter. *** Troy!!! We are better off using the 5th round pick on another postion. Plus some of you are forgeting about that QB that is our practice squad that look solid in last year preseason. I forgot what his name is. But I sure he will get a shot at a 3rd string backup job come camp time. So no more crap about troy. Stop it before my brain explodes.:smash:

Why should we give him a chance. Since we have QB in Moore who chances of starting next year is good and a 20 mill QB in Jake most likly is going to be a backup. Plus we got solid QB on our practice squad who did good in preseason this past year. So why on earth would we waste a good 5th rounder on him. That 5th rounder we can use on the draft and could pull out a stud for the future. Again no TY.:ack2::mad2::puke:

No Jake to fall back on now. I think it is very unwise to try to head into next season with the QB situation as it sits now. Smith is just one of my faviorte candiates as he is young, exciting to watch, and could bring us the trick play threat (like in the wildcat as I have mentioned). Most likely we bring in a veteran that has little to no upside when I think Smith could be a high caliber starter.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
