I hate to say it, but the Raven's need to adopt the Patriot way on this one, let him walk. The NFL is too pass happy to pay that much to a back. Period.
The Franchise tag numbers are way down this year so there is no reason to let him walk. It's not like there is another skill player we know could account for 45% of the offense on the roster. Everyone says backs are so easy to come by. Then you see teams like the Browns, Lions and Chiefs all get hurt when their top guys go down. Even a good passing team like the Lions melted down the stretch because they couldn't eat up enough clock. Unless you have a top QB, and we don't, you have to be able to run the ball.
