Re: Ravens Free Agency: FA List
The GM who convinced the Bucs owners to give Jensen $22 million in guaranteed money is still there. If he trades Jensen for peanuts after they spent that kind of money just 1 year later he wouldnt keep his job. Even if it’s the right football move to get rid of Jensen, Jason Licht has no choice but to make this work for his own sake.

Re: Ravens Free Agency: FA List
Are you sure about that. Jimmy has signing bonus and restructure money in 2019 that make up the dead money. I don't think you can touch those cap hits. Extending him would only allow you to take the non guaranteed base money and convert it to bonus money and spread it out over the remaining years. I don't think there is any way to lessen his dead money in 2019. I think he is going to count a minimum of 6.3m against the 2019 cap no matter what.

Re: Ravens Free Agency: FA List
I read somewhere that 9 of the last 10 probowlers the ravens have drafted ended up resigning so if history is any indicator Mosely will be here next year. I was okay with letting him walk but I've change my mind. He's been inconsistent but an overall solid player and leader for us on that side of the ball. He's not easily replaceable. I don't think Chuck Clark and Peanuts are ready to step in where Mosely leaves off.

Clowney is overrated for the money he will get

Re: Ravens Free Agency: FA List
It’s not dead money unless you cut or trade him, it’s money that has been paid to him that has to hit the cap at some point, which is why all of the 6.3ish hits if you cut or trade him. I don’t like the term dead money because it seems to give the wrong connotation for what it is. If you extend him then you can then spread that money over the rest of the extension.

He also had micro fracture surgery earlier in his career and that worries me about his longevity. If youre going big game hunting I think there are better options.
Ford obviously very enticing if available. If McCoy gets released then that’s a name you gotta look at, as painful as it is knowing you’re already paying BWill, particularly if they don’t retain Smith. Need that interior rush.

Re: Ravens Free Agency: FA List
I want to keep one of Mosely or Smith, and it seems that Smith is more likely at this point. Fine with cutting Weddle because beyond his play tailing off the past two years we’ve seen a weaker safety market with a lot of good names on it the past two years. I think I’d like to see them grab one of those guys. What’s up with Landon Collins? Was an all pro and now guys talking about him being a free agent? That’s a guy I’d look at.
