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.

    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
    • This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
