How should we spend Flacco's money?

[Doctor]

1) Sign Mosley
- One reason many fans aren't head-over-heels in love with Mosley is because we lived through Ray Lewis...when you're used the THE best, damn good can sometimes look average.

2) Extend (at least) one of the following players:
Michael Pierce
Tavon Young
Matthew Judon
- I would talk to all of them. They need to get one of them. Two is better.

The way that Greg Roman wants to play is clear. We’ve seen it before. The way that John Harbaugh wants to play is clear. Again, we’ve seen it before. Which is why that pairing is one positive as far as this team having a clear identity to build from (Not that they can’t deviate from it if the game calls for it, but those will be backup plans, not primary plan).

That said, the defense being consistent and reliable is very important to this style of play. If they plan on what we expect, a run-heavy ball-control offense, I’m not sure they can handle too much veteran turnover at once. Especially, without clear replacements in mind. This team needs pass rushers even WITH Suggs. You take his mind off the field and his ability to diagnose plays and communicate that info to younger guys (The way Ray did him), you have NO pass rushers and less play recognition. The one guy they’re most likely to pay up for is, oddly enough, the guy with the most noteworthy replacement of the three.

Don't forget Tucker's extension

Defense. I know, I know, but the highest priced FAs that I'm interested in are on defense, particularly at PASS RUSH and SAFETY.

DeMarcus Lawrence
Landon Collins
Earl Thomas
Jadeveon Clowney
Dee Ford
Lamarcus Joyner
Grady Jarrett
Trey Flowers
Tyrann Mathieu
Frank Clark

Find out which of these guys won't be retained by their team and pounce on one.

Frank Clark may be the best of the group even though he does not get the press. I watched him play out here in Seattle and the guy is a beast and still young. My best is that the Seahawks franchise Clark.

Agree as Mosley is clearly the leader on defense and clogs the middle. I sure hope that the Ravens resign him.

See I would rather they move on from the older guys and try and find replacements starting next year. I get your point but I think the odds of them contending next year are slim and the experience younger players gain could really help them in LJ's 3-5 years. I'm not throwing the towel in on next year, but how much more can we really expect from suggs and Weddle anyway, 1 year? I'd rather take my lumps with the younger guys and hope it pays off down the road.

smarter contracts that aren't back-loaded

John Brown is probably going to Denver now.

Think JB has sickle cell so I don't think he can play in the altitude...

He has sickle cell trait but not the actual disease. They previously thought he had sickle cell but it turned out to be a cyst on his spine.

Would love to see Earl Thomas. He just seems like a Raven. Been a while since we had a true playmaker, think he takes this Defense to another level.

I'd love for them to target a Woodhead type RB. Yeldon would be a nice target for this offense.
