Re: Ravens Free Agent Possible Add / Drops
If the Ravens want consistency the guy to go with is Volmer. From living in New England, this guy always plays good, is versatile, and is extremely well thought of by the fan base. He could be a value player that we could afford. He wouldn't be cheap but he would be easier to afford. Probably $7 million or around that. My friend even learned how to pass set from watching a YouTube on Volmer.
Re: Ravens Free Agent Possible Add / Drops
If Vollmer is decently cheap, I would make a run at him.
Otherwise, sounds like Sam Baker or Jermon Bushrod are the next guys to look at.
King Dunlap and BMac are basically our insurance options.

Not hearing that.
Re: Ravens Free Agent Possible Add / Drops
Dunlap really bugs me. He has such a good physical build for a LT
Re: Ravens Free Agent Possible Add / Drops
Bushrod is a TU grad, so we might have some pull with him ahead of teams other than the Saints.
Like I said, if we're looking at free agency to get a LT...I'd go:
1. Vollmer
2. Baker (if he does hit FA)
3. Bushrod
4. McKinnie
5. Dunlap
Re: Ravens Free Agent Possible Add / Drops
If you want Flacco to take those five step drops and launch those forty yard passes, you need a LT that can give him time to do that. This isn't a short passing offense where a mere 'adequate' LT will do, with Joe getting rid of the ball in less than two seconds.
They've gone cheap at LT and it's cost them. The guy that performed the best can't even be trusted. What makes it worse in McKinnie's case is that he's a veteran. He's not some young guy who still needs to learn how to be successful in the NFL. He knows what it takes, but he just doesn't care enough. Just enough, like Gaither, to keep you thinking that you have the keys to chest of motivation to use on him.
He swallowed that motha fucka.

Give Anquan Boldin a one year extension and give Vontae Leach a one year extension. That's three million (guesstimating here) right there. Release Jacoby Jones, Brendon Ayanbadejo and Bobbie Williams. That might be another six million.
That should give you enough cap space to fit Jake Long, Randy Moss and Casey Hampton.

None of those players today fit Ozzie's mantra.
