He does but was cleared by doctors to resume his career, if he's there in the 4th or 5th i'd take my chances i can get 4 or 5 years out of him

I would take ProFootballTalk's spin on the negotiations with a grain of salt. They've really gone out of their way to stir up controversy with the negotiations overall. I don't think it's personal. I just think that there's not much going on, leading to some reaching on their part.

Alright, let's try to think about how we could fit eleven rookies on this team.

At least, one defensive tackle could make it. Two, to be honest, Kemoeatu is gone and Cody is on the rocks. You might be able to get two ILBs on the final 53. One safety should be able to make it. One tackle. Maybe one WR. That's seven, before we even get into Undrafted Free Agents.

Hold on, let me copy my current projected roster.

As usual, I think there may be room for one or two undrafted rookies, and I think we use 7 picks in the draft, now way do we use 11 picks IMO.

we could use at least one G/C combo and a blocking TE as well.

And a FB/H-back if Leach is cut.

We are definitely losing 2 offensive linemen (Birk, Williams), maybe 3 (McKinnie) and a 4th is no bet to make the roster (Harewood). We certainly can see more than just one offensive linemen. We have no proven OLB backup.

There is definitely space for 8-9-10-11 if they do a good job with this draft

However, that's not counting veteran FAs or undrafted FAs.

All of the vets and EFAs at the bottom of the roster are not guaranteed roster spots.

I think 7 to 9 rookies could make the team with another couple to the practice squad. I think it's a good chance the Ravens take a developmental QB late who maybe wont make the team but make the practice squad year 1. I can also see the same thing happen with a late round FB/H-Back.

Now there are "reports" GB might franchise Greg Jennings.

I am pretty sure he has already sold his house in Wisc. and was dead set on Free Agency, so these "reports" make me skeptical.

From now until Free Agency, all of these "reports" have to be taken with a grain of salt. The sources are never listed, and anything leaked could merely be a behind the scenes bargaining ploy.

Same goes for Flacco, draft picks, etc. You never know what is true and what is being artificially "reported".

If they are, I think it's only so they can trade his rights and get a draft pick for him.
