Hopefully this balances out all the panicking involved with Q.

If that's the case, I would expect it to be a six year deal.

Not buying it just yet until this becomes more substantiated.
Depends on the structure and years, $30 mil sounds like overpaying. Triple what Jameel got. Dannell's better, but not that much better.

5/$30M would be fair.
6/$30M preferred.
4/$30M might be a little too rich for Ellerbe IMO.
Let's hope for 6.

Re: Ravens ellerbe close to deal
I really don't know what everyone sees in this guy.
- Injury Prone
- Has shown up to camp out of shape before
- Only 1 year of good play
- Struggles in man coverage
- Horrible in zone coverage
If you're looking for a downhill linebacker Bart Scott or Takeo Spikes would come much cheaper

Conflicting reports
@ProFootballTalk: Dannell Ellerbe got quick interest, but hasn't heard an offer from the Ravens http://t.co/SWEFeyA3RZ

Re: Ravens ellerbe close to deal
FWIW, PF Central is generally a more reliable reporter than PFT. PFC broke the Alex Smith trade news first and has generally been first on the scene to a number of scoops lately.
PFT hasn't actually broken a story to my recollection in a long, long time. Normally they're the first to repeat another outlet's report which they try to pass off as their own.

Re: Ravens ellerbe close to deal
This makes no sense. Other outlets are reporting that Ellerbe hasn't received an offer from us yet.

Re: Ravens ellerbe close to deal
Maybe the Ravens wanted let give Ellerbe the chance to gauge his interest, and came back with an offer this afternoon once everyone knew the parameters.
