The market is too stacked to over pay our own free agents. Kruger would be an option in other markets but not with the proven rushers sitting out there.

Like who exactly? I wouldn't take Cliff Avril over Kruger.

I don't have a link, but he said that at the season-ending presser.

Kruger, it seems, badly wants to return. I think Ellerbe is the higher priority, but I think he wants to test the market. I don't feel either is worthy of the tag. Hopefully, we can bring at least one of them back.

Without some major releases or restructures, they don't/won't have the Cap space to franchise anyone else.

He would be even more expensive.

Connor Barwin's stock is really low. He may be a low risk/high reward FA that Ozzie likes.

Love those Texan cast offs...

Do you anticipate any major releases and/or restructures?

Barwin's stock is low? Wow. The guy is good.

Vonta Leach would save $3M, Jacoby Jones and Boldin would save $10M combined, but I don't expect the Ravens to cut all three if any at all now that Flacco has re-signed. I think Leach is 50/50 right now. They could also make some minor savings out of Ayanbadejo, Bobbie Williams, and Jameel McClain. That should total around $1.84M in savings (once you account for their replacements on the roster).

What about restructures, mainly to Suggs and/or Ngata?
