Vonta Leach confirms his impending departure on Twitter, saying, among other things, "My time here is up""The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft
"On their way to the podium, the Ravens FO is going to collectively step over my dead body and select...Breshad Perriman." -- Me, the day before the 2015 Draft

Re: Goodbye Vontae Leach
assuming they sign no one, and head into the season w/ 6.5m in cap space, they'll be able to carry that over to next year when we have some TOUGH decisions w/ Suggs and Ngata. Cap dollars are always scarce when you draft like the Ravens and your homegrown talent becomes expensive.

Re: Goodbye Vontae Leach
Suggs cap # next year goes down and it's the last year of his contract. If he plays well I think he's safe. If the achilles injury continues to slow him down he probably goes.
How well is Ngata going to have to play this year to justify 16m in 2014? That's a huge salary.
I do expect one of them will have to go after this season.
I see them spending all of the cap number to field the best team they can and worry about next year after the season. While they have an eye towards the future, the team wants to win now.

Re: Goodbye Vontae Leach
In ozzie we trust...but anyone expecting an A for B move here, don't hold your breath. It didn't happen with Boldin, it didn't happen with Pollard, or any other vet really.
Laughably, it could be releasing Leach to add JaMarcus Russell....

Re: Goodbye Vonta Leach
One thing to think about is that the Ravens tend to stay very tight to the cap. At least, it does not 'seem' often that they have so much unused space.

Re: Goodbye Vonta Leach
Juszczyk era begins, would have loved to keep Leach around as that battering ram in short yardage situations and on the goaline but at his salary playing half or less than half of the offensive snaps wasnt gonna work.

Re: Goodbye Vonta Leach
I guess this is confirmation that Caldwell isn't going to use a blocking FB as heavily. I like Juice Check alot, but I think his strength at the moment is more as an H-back, catching and running with the ball. I think his blocking will need some development.
I'd say this probably improves Furstenburg's chances of making the team even more, since Pitta and Dickson are not great blockers, and the recent OTA reviews of Furstenburg was showing Sypniewski like blocking..
