Matt Birks becoming an issue - Whatever happened to the talks with Jason Brown?

[B-more Ravor]

As I recall, Brown signed with the Rams for $30+ million for like 5 years. The Ravens didn't have the luxury to spend that on a center. They picked up Birk for around $12 million for 4 years IIRC. Seemed to be a very savvy move by Ozzie at the time.

I agree.

But, since then, it would have been nice for them to find an heir apparent, who ideally would be starting now, so that they wouldn't have needed to re-sign Birk.

Gino had better be working like mad in the weight room and be paying attention in class. He's probably going to be given the role next year. I think we are stuck with Birk the rest of the year.
