I dont feel so bad...

so looking at the list of top FA on nfl.com I dont feel so bad that we have 2 linemen that 'could' hit the market the ravens have 3 of there 4 starting LB's as FA this year, Lewis, Scott, Suggs.

Now THAT would suck!

But, they all want to return to the Ravens.

Ah, but they all want to get paid a fair deal as well. Ray Lewis is forcing their hand somewhat as Suggs wants them to stay together, even if it is at a discount price.

Lewis though knows this is his last contract and will not promise that discount and thus they have to pay him. If Lewis goes, expect Suggs' discount to suddenly dissapear as he wants the 'brotherhood' as they called it to stay together.

On the outside you have Bart Scott who looks like no one even cares and thus expect him to want to hit the open market to at least get a big paycheck in the second half of his career.

Without Ryan though, maybe these guys are not so keen to stick around anyway...?

There's significant talk about Lewis joining Ryan in NY.

I would expect that's the deal and if Lewis wants out then that tells you something and I would not expect there Defense to be half as good as it was this year.
