Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
any chance SSSr loses a step (he's, what, 35?) and is odd man out? I hear a lot about mentoring but doubt they'd keep him around just for.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
Ernie Sims was the #1 recruit coming out of high school in 2003. Robert Meachem was a 5-star recruit.
Keep in mind that these are 17 and 18 year olds that have only competed against high school competition. Marlon was 6'5" 200lbs coming out of high school. I'd hope he was one of the top receivers in the country with that kind of height.

It is also entirely possible that his knee injuries took away some speed, agility, and explosiveness. That isn't out of the realm of possibilities.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
[QUOTE=rhapsody;940362]When is the trade coming - we have loads of WRs and TEs. If the Ravens feel Waller can become an ideal red zone threat then we should deal Marlon. Sooner rather than later, so we are not on the verge of having to just cut him. Kubiak needs a TE, trade him any Heap bro except Maxx, I say. Drive a good deal.
If we can't get a CB, at least we can improve our picks for 2016.[/QUOTE
Why trade a TE if all 3 are good enough to make the team?

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
The trade market is fairly dead at present.
Everybody is evaluating their hauls, and is figuring who will be released (vets) as high draft choices start making more expensive veterans expendable.
Even then they don't trade (unless it is a very favorable contract) but wait for the inevitable cut.
We have seen the Ravens make a minor headscratching final cut/keep, and then seen the cut make the PS and realized that if we cut the other player he would have been grabbed (forgot the name but some years ago we kept an extra DT which surprised us)
Only trades I can recall are late round picks for players like Prescott Burgess (conditional 7th NE), Antwan Barnes, AQ Shipley Josh Wilson (conditional 5th to Seattle)
Most picks happened late when a player who was not going to be cut was traded to make room for somebody else.
We did trade early (May) for Shipley, but most trades happen very late with cut-downs looming ... very little activity this time of yearat one point of my life I was exactly Pi years old
