Re: AFC North predictions for next season
I'm going to hold off on predictions until training camp arrives. Way to early. In additon our schedule next year is really tough. 5 playoff teams at home and two more who were eliminated from the playoffs (Raiders, Cowboys) on the last weekend of the season. Then we 3 playoff teams on the road and another (Chargers) who seems to have our number lately.

Re: AFC North predictions for next season
Not sure about that, particularly on O. Hillis is unsettled and don't have much of a running back behind it. Their WRs are woeful, though Little might grow into it. Decent O-line. Carolina has good running backs and Steve Smith.
Browns may have a little more talent on D, though. Carolina have Johnson and Beason, which are decent.
I'm a bit concerned about RG3 being in Cleveland. Possibly 4 legitimate Qbs in the division sucks and he's an athletic one, guys the Ravens tend to struggle a little against.
That said, it's all too early for predictions. After the draft and FA would the earliest.

Re: AFC North predictions for next season
There isnt one team listed that remotely scares me, considering them this year ofcourse and not knowing what offseason additions they make. were better than all of those teams and i see us getting better not worse. were great at home so i dont see any reason to not end up 8-0 again against the listed. id sooner suggest we end up 11-5 or even 10-6 as our schedule as champions will admittedly be harder. Texans Chargers and Eagles may all be losses and include the steelers and bengals away games and i think youre looking at a realistic outcome.

Re: AFC North predictions for next season
I believe Harrison signed his deal in 2009. meaning this would have been his 3rd year under the deal. all contracts in the NFL are basically 3 year deals. 10 mill guaranteed should already be accounted for so I think his injuries and larger cap number may be a reason. its just my opinion, havent heard anything suggesting such.

So, in effect, the contract could actually be considered a two or three-year deal, which is more in line with what a 31-year-old player-JAB

Re: AFC North predictions for next season
Way too early to say for sure what will happen, but I'll start things off with this:
Bengals 11-5
Ravens 10-6
Browns 7-9
Steelers 6-10
I think the Bengals have fewer variables right now standing in the way of a division title. If the Ravens address the O-line, D-line, and LB positions well, I think I put them back up on top.
Also, keep in mind that while we play Houston and New England, the Bengals get Jacksonville and the Bills.

Re: AFC North predictions for next season
It's possible they could cut Harrison. I just don't think they need to and since he's still productive it doesn't make a lot of sense. Worilds looked ok subbing in for Harrison and Woodley, both of whom missed 5+ games, so they do have options if they decide not to bring Harrison back.
If they do cut Harrison they would have no trouble at all bringing Wallace back.
Harrison's contract was a 6-year deal - so there would be some dead money involved. His bonus wasn't as large as the salaries though, so it is inevitable he will be cut at some point - my guess would be next year.
