Re: Art Jones
Pitta is a must sign. And with this injury maybe makes it alittle , just alittle cheaper I'm guessing.

Re: Art Jones
Also, here's the problem.
We cut McKinnie. We find a way to trim $10m off the combined 2014 cap totals of Ngata and Suggs (highly optimistic and nearly as highly unrealistic). That saves $13m off the 2013 cap and we STILL have to trim more money just to get under the cap without adding/re-signing any free agents.

My apologies, how could I forget about Pitta? I actually think he could be resigned cheaper than you'd think, perhaps on a one year "prove it" type deal?

Re: Art Jones
Well, I made a big mistake. I'm sure Ravor would catch me on, so I'm going to admit the mistake. The 2013 salary cap amount for the Ravens contains $10.4m in dead money. So far the 2014 salary cap contains around $2m (mainly Pollard money). So, things aren't quite as bad as I originally stated.
We are looking at roughly $31.5 in scheduled raises. The net savings gained by replacing our outgoing UFAs is around $16.5. The net savings of our dead money differential is about $8. So instead of having to trim $15m from the cap to get back to even ground, we really only need to trim $7m. That total also doesn't include whatever small amount we are carrying as a surplus that can be applied to the following year and whatever small total the cap increases. It's still a tough spot, but not as ominous as my original math indicated.
If you look at it another way, Ravor's projected 2014 salary cap has us between $118-119m with only 42 players under contract for next year.

Re: Art Jones
Yes, it's been up for months and I refer to it every now and then. Also, www.spotrac.com is a wonderful site for tracking this stuff too. He does an amazing job keeping that spreadsheet up-to-date, but sometimes it's nice to look behind the raw numbers.

Re: Art Jones
I'm pretty confident in saying that IF (ENORMOUS, GIGANTIC, HUGE IF) Art Jones were to have a "double digit" sack year and really became a dominant player, they wouldn't let him go. I'm sure it'd take every bit of Ozzie's genius but they'd figure it out. They generally don't let dominant players go in their primes. JJ, Bannan, and Edwards were all one dimensional and older when they let them go. Totally different situation with those three.
I don't think there is any chance that Art actually gets double digit sacks, or even comes close, though, so it's not going to really matter. I believe he's a good player, nothing more, the kind that is fairly easily replaceable by a GM as great as Ozzie.back on twitter
