Shout out to Jarrett Johnson!

[GaRaven]

Eisenberg points it out in his column today that he is sad to see JJ not on this team for this run!

I second it whole heartedly as the Ravens "Iron Man" sits and watches his former team compete! So here is a shout out to him!

[ballhawk]

No doubt!!! I hated seeing him go and I hate that he is missing this!

[RavenDavey]

Hate that he is not here as well...

But "this is a business" as most free agents say when going after the money (instead of the ring!)

[AirFlacco]

I don't feel sorry for the millionaire. He got what he wanted. Money is more important.

The same thing happened to Wally, the LT before JO. He was franchised and pissed. Finally he left and ended up
in NO when they were still really bad and the Ravens win the SB right after that. I laugh at him everytime I hear
him on the radio but he got what he wanted.

The guys I feel sad for are Heap and Mason who contributed to so many wins here but were cut and just missed it.
Bisciott can still give them a ring if he wants to and probably will but it won't be the same w/o being here.

Exactly....they wanted the money, so tough cookies! Count your millions, while your teammates holdup the Lombardi!

Are we so sure that Ozzie made JJ an offer though? I've kinda been assuming that they just wanted to get younger and let JJ walk.

Williams was actually our RG, who moved inside to starting C when Steve Everitt left after the 96 season. He was pissed because he claimed he was promised a long-term deal by the team, then had to play under the franchise tag. I'm always shocked too when I see him broadcasting for the team, cause he was NOT happy when he left here.

Our starting LT before (and during) JO's first season was Tony Jones. He was pretty vocal about his unhappiness as well, when we drafted Ogden. He played here for one year at LT (JO was inside @ LG), then was traded to Denver for a 2nd rounder that we used to draft Kim Herring, the starting SS on our Super Bowl team. Things worked out better for Tony than for Wally - he won back-to-back SBs with Denver.

Ok, thanks. I stand corrected but that was a very big and good line that came from Cleveland. It had Blackshear-sp too.

Me too, it's sort of funny because he basically had a hissy fit in the press and had all kinds of bad things to say about Modell and the organization

You make a really good point. These guys wanted the money. No one forced them to leave

And we all would have done the same thing. Every kid in little league is working for a big pay day like that in the pros
while only 1% make it so good for him. I just don't feel sorry for him.

+1 It really sucks that he spends such a long time here and the year he leaves they get to the big one.
