Bernard has been retweeting those, so perhaps we get an idea who he'd be interested in the Ravens picking up.

Hopefully no one else is interested in him.

Why is Blount such a big deal? It's not like he was Daryl Smith who was a genuine great who just happened to get drafted by an awful team. Before the 2013 Colts game no one knew who Blount was. And the only reason is because of good games against Buffalo and Indy's horrible run defense.

Apart from 2012, he's had a pretty promising career with stints in both TB and New England.

I wouldn't put him in AP's bracket as far as RBs, but he represented the last FA RB that has shown ability to be a GOOD starting RB.

He's only a big deal here because the Ravens and Steelers were interested. There is a real history of big powerful backs on the Ravens and Steelers and Blount fits that mold. Is this the signing that puts the Steelers over the top? I doubt it but he's still a nice addition to tlat team.

If you never heard of Blount, then you don't watch other teams.

Dude was already a 1000 yard rusher in Tampa averaging 5 YPC and had almost 800 yards last year again averaging 5 YPC.

Blount's lone 1,000 yard season was in 2010. Aside from that his production's been fairly mediocre. And pardon me if I don't spend my time watching one of the worst teams in the league.

So...he's been in the league 4 years and averaged way over 4 YPC in 3 of his 4 years (2 of his 4 years he was at 5 YPC, and was at 4.2 YPC in the 3rd) and his production is mediocre? His career average is 4.7...very, very good.

And there's nothing wrong with not watching other teams, but no offense...when you don't, how can someone take your rather loud opinion on players you don't pay attention to seriously?

I knew who Blount was after I saw this highlight from 2011:

Would have loved Blount in purple. I can't get too worked up over it though. LeVeon Bell is their starter and they like to use 3 backs in a rotation. I'm not sure why Blount signed there when he could have gone to Oakland, Arizona, the Giants, the Jets, Jacksonville, or Miami and been the feature back.
