I really wonder why he hasn't signed with anyone yet. I'd imagine there's some sort or disconnect between however much money he wants and what teams are willing to pay him. 

He's basically going to be 34 for this season (birthday in september) so he's pretty darn old for CB. Maybe teams just aren't willing to gamble on a large contract for a 34 year old CB even if he's been really good for most of his career.

Maybe team are only offering him fairly cheap 1 year rentals and he wants some security with a multi year deal. Especially considering, it's going to be the last deal of his career most likely.

He's been making 10m per for a bit. Probably not getting many offers like that now.

If no one is offering good money might as well sit around and wait to see if someone goes down on a contender and all of a sudden his market changes. Vets HATE training camp anyway. Might as well skip as much of it as you can or potentially even all of it.

He's still a good player assuming he didn't fall off a cliff during the offseason.  It's just not gonna make a difference on this team.  If he wants to play for us, come on in.  If not, it's not going to matter much in the long run for us.  The 2000 Ravens defense would be helpless with the offense we will likely field.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
