Free Agency 2019

I'll believe it when I see it. I think Jimmy was inevitable though. I could see us doing this to try to leverage him into taking a paycut.

There's plenty of time for us to work something out.

Not sure I want Crabtree gone. He is a good WR to have for a young QB to grow with, even with the dropsies with the route running and whatnot. Say what you will about our strategy of getitng nothing more than aging WRs, having a veteran to help out a young QB was a good developmental move for Flacco. We could do better than Crabtree but where?

Hakeem butler offer the same playstyle and same weaknesses as Crabtree with a way higher ceiling

I wouldn't count on us drafting a WR early though. Their really isn't that good of a crop. I see a couple of #1 WRs. We frankly have bigger needs and not many draft picks.

Big fucking mistake

Jesus Christ decosta you’re really starting out strong huh

That's not DeCosta - rotoworld reporting Zrebiec's speculation.

Hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good outrage post.

That’s see if this even happens first and if it does, let’s see where we go from there.

 

[Sami84]

This is just very bad reciting by rotoworld. Zrebiec just listed a bunch of guys who the ravens might consider cutting, mainly because of their cap hit. Also we aren't in rebuilding mode.

we are.

 

[JO_75]

With Gruden on his cut every player associated with McKenzie/Del Rio era in Oakland, one of those names may be Kelechi Osemele. As of now, the Raiders can save $10M by cutting him with no dead money. If he were to be cut, would you want him back and slide him back into LG to stabilize the left side of the line next to Stanley?

No. Talked too much shit when the Ravens didn't offer him tackle money to play guard.

Lmao you love to hold grudges

 

[RavensMania]

Hell yes I’d take KO back

Gary Kubiak could pay for his kid's college, wedding, and gas for the rest of his life, while ordaining his wedding and giving him a job that pays six figures from day one and he'd still call Kubiak a trader

 

[rossihunter2]

That's not DeCosta - rotoworld reporting Zrebiec's speculation.

Yeah it’s all flawed - they’re reporting as fact the speculation that he’s having that’s similar to any other analyst or even cap-knowledgeable fan tbh

And put Ravens logo there to make it look official...

This is correct.

 

[RaineV1]

I'd love having KO back, especially now that we run more of a power scheme. But he'll likely still be looking for LT type of money, and with many teams needing o-line help he'll probably get it somewhere.

Yes I would bring him back but I’m not sure he’d want to return. I doubt the Raiders will let him go, though. Maybe my memory is off here but I remember Gruden gushing over Osemele some years ago while broadcasting. Then again, it is Gruden so...

KO gets traded to the Giants for a third round pick. Then Barkley gets to run behind KO and Hernandez.

Or they just trade down and draft Ford.
