I think the Ravens will want to extend Michael Oher to a fair market deal to play RT, they could reduce Oher's cap number in 2013 by 1 or two mills, every little will help. Corey Grahame's cap number is still a bargain for the level of play he offers at the CB position.

Glad to see Graham is getting paid for the job he did in 2012/13. He came up BIG when needed.
Gotta hope Webb comes back close to form & Smith matures;after that, Corey may have to walk in favor of cheaper guys on rookie contracts (e.g.C. or O. Brown, A Jackson, etc.) What a luxury of DB depth we saw this year! A far cry from the Derrick Martin/Frank Walker days.
One side benefit of the AFC Champion & Super Bowl bound Baltimore Ravens recent and future high profile is that Oher's "Blindside rep." as an All-World LT has been exposed. Teams would be foolish to sign him as an LT, and I suspect few will try to outbid the Ravens for Oher @ RT. Next year, we're probably breaking in a new center and still trying to draft a long term LT. Let's keep as much continuity as we can on this OL.

I don't think that's accurate and certainly doesn't jibe with the NFLPA records I saw earlier this month or any other media reports so far. I guess it's possible they've got a boatload of 2012 incentives that are going to carry over (that I'm not aware of), but I doubt it would be that much.
My guess is that that a "projected" number (after RFA/EFA tenders) that someone told him and not really based on actual numbers.
EDIT: Not to mention that his Cap savings numbers for Boldin and Jacoby are all wrong.Last edited by B-more Ravor; 01-31-2013 at 10:06 PM.

His numbers certainly seem speculative IMO. Saying the Ravens are 5 Million over the cap makes for a better attention grabber than saying they right at the cap or just below it. Basically it seems he is using a little speculation here to make a rather mundane story a little juicer.
