Brian McFarland @ RavensSalaryCap 21m As speculated yesterday, Dallas Clark got same 1-yr, $1.005M deal as Stokley ($940K base, $65K roster bonus). Will count $620K against Cap

Re: Ravens sign Dallas Clark
Well, in all fairness, Shiancoe has been running with the 1's by default...if Dickson were healthy then Shiancoe wouldn't see many reps at all with the 1's.
I also think that Clark was specifically brought in because Dickson is probably going to be out for a while. They were thinking about signing Shiancoe before Pitta even got hurt (or, I would assume so based him Shiancoe visiting practices).
Similarly with Stokley, had Deonte Thompson not gotten hurt, would he have been signed? I can't really say, but it sure seemed like they were willing to roll with who they had.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Ravens sign Dallas Clark
In order for them to part ways with Jacoby 2 things need to happen:
1) Deonte Thompson needs to be healthy because they like having that other receiver option who can be a burner. Jacoby is arguably faster than Torrey, or at least as fast. Thompson is said to be the fastest guy on the team and if he is healthy and can hang as a perimeter receiver and replicate what Jacoby has done, then the argument to part ways with Jacoby makes sense.
2) They need to figure out if they have anyone else who can return kick-offs and punts. Asa Jackson was supposed to be competing for that spot and David Reed displayed some decent kick return skills before his days of fumble-itis against the Seahawks. I don't know that Reed can return punts though. Webb can return punts, but do you really want your top corner coming off of an ACL tear returning punts? Probably not.
I think the fact that they don't really have a great answer for a return specialist keeps Jacoby on the team. However, I do think that his salary may become an issue and I don't think that Jacoby should be the #2 receiver. He is a decent player, but he has inconsistent hands and doesn't run very good routes.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Ravens sign Dallas Clark
What do you know, the front office is going after former Colts! Kind of ironic if you ask me. IMO it's a good signing in terms of adding depth, if Clark has staying power. He was great with Peyton Manning at QB but has not been a big role player since. If he does make the team and play, Joe should consider Clark as a target who is capable of stepping up.

Re: Ravens sign Dallas Clark
Of course they did just write a $1 million dollar bonus check to Jacoby back in March so cutting him now would have to sting a bit.
He has a very valuable role on this team, but being the #2 WR isn't it.

Re: Ravens sign Dallas Clark
Jacoby's returns were vital to our season and super bow run. I doubt they cut him.
