Eric Turner
Why did we not resign him for the 1997 season?

Re: Eric Turner
Because Modell had financial troubles and could not afford to resign his highest paid player when Turner became a free agent. In fact, a year later the NFL had to bail out the Ravens with an emergency loan (eventually, Modell had to sell half the team to Bisciotti to stay afloat). Of course, Turner would die shortly after the Ravens won the SuperBowl, and didn't have much success in Oakland.
