Re: McGahee Knee To Be Scoped
Except that you at least have depth at the RB position when you look at Ray Rice, and now the possibility of even LeRon McClain possibly getting some snaps back there.
I just don't think you pick up a Shawn Alexander knowing you have to dump one of these guys when McGahee does come back.

No I think a guy more like Jesse Chatman or Musa Smith, both potentially on the chopblock up in New Jersey are more inline with what we may need before Willis gets back.

Re: McGahee Knee To Be Scoped
Houston Raven,
In regards to salary cap, its not whether the Ravens are in jail or not, its how they divvy it up. The Front Office devotes too much of it to our 'star players', and those players' contracts are way more than they deserve. I would have liked to save some of the cap to attract a better than league minimum OT this year. Maybe if the FO did not overpay McGahee & Heap & some others... they could have had some extra dough to attract Barry Sims earlier. Sims sure would have helped considering the current situation. Perennial good teams like the Patriots, Colts, and the Eagles (last year notwithstanding) are much better at manipulating the cap with their players. Our future cap situation is going to get interesting with Suggs, Scott, Ray, Ngata, Jason Brown... all up for renewals. If all our high paid star players stay healthy, sure we can have a very successful season, but that is not realistic in today's NFL.

ravensnhokies,
I dont dispute anything you say. Fanman made the claim the Ravens had perenial cap issues. I was pointing out that it was incorrect. Compared to other teams, we do not have nearly the level of management that teams like the Raiders, Cowboys and Redskins have.
How that money is divided is certainly open for debate.

I hope this was only a clean up.
I'm starting to worry about his health.

Re: McGahee Knee To Be Scoped
OK. I never claimed otherwise. I couldnt find data on 2003 so put that in the "way under" column.
They are? They have $5 Million in room. Depends on your definition of "strapped"
No argument from me here. What does this have to do with Fanman's caim and my response? Poor salary management sure, but we're not in cap jail year after year, as claimed by Fanman.
