Re: The time is NOW to re-sign Eugene Monroe
Yea, and Grubbs was drafted and developed here and he bolted.
Monroe has no allegiance here and when has Ozzie locked anyone up early? It would be great to do it now but it just ain't Ozzie's style, one of his major weaknesses.
He could have signed Joe for a fraction of what he did had he locked him up before the contract expired and that's what Joe's agent said.
If someone like NO, NE or GB wants him and makes an offer Monroe can't refuse, he'll leave.

Re: The time is NOW to re-sign Eugene Monroe
Exactly this.
Fast-forward to March. Monroe has just signed with CLE (who has $25M in cap and is very likely going to kick Schwartz inside from RT) and there Ozzie sits in his office with Eric and Harbs.
"Damn. Not only did I not get a deal done for Eugene, not only did he sign within the division, but I can't believe that I pissed away a 4th and 5th to boot!"
C'mon now guys. Monroe is going to be a Raven for a quite awhile."The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft
"On their way to the podium, the Ravens FO is going to collectively step over my dead body and select...Breshad Perriman." -- Me, the day before the 2015 Draft

Re: The time is NOW to re-sign Eugene Monroe
I think they have every intention of re-signing him, have expressed that to him and will do so when they can. It's just that right now, the Cap really doesn't allow it.
That said, if they have to, I also think they will use the franchise tag to not let him get away.

Re: The time is NOW to re-sign Eugene Monroe
It should be noted that Monroe's wife is from here and that made coming here a plus for them.

Re: The time is NOW to re-sign Eugene Monroe
That was more aimed at someone suggesting that the reason Grubbs left wasn't really to do with money and more to do with us being a defense first team, yet Yanda stayed with us.
Who knows what will happen with Monroe, but I will say that Ozzie has never given up picks for a one year rental.

Re: The time is NOW to re-sign Eugene Monroe
Exactly, she'll have some influence but money still talks as far as Monroe is concerned.
Good point by Ravor that Oz can't sign him now because of the cap. I forgot about the cap. Ravor's point really ends the discussion. Ozzie can't sign him now. Ravens are always close to the cap ceiling which is how they win Super Bowls.Last edited by AirFlacco; 11-08-2013 at 02:21 PM.

Re: The time is NOW to re-sign Eugene Monroe
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
