Just stupid. There has to be something more here..He should and want to play.Why IR Dixon... its not even like you have more years with him...
The only thing I can think of is getting a late round comp due to him signing with another team next offseason.Just stupid. There has to be something more here..He should and want to play.

The only other option I can think of is the new rule from 2018 that allows players on IR to be traded.
outside of this year, whenever he has been healthy he has been the best back on our roster, but remaining healthy is his issue. He's a very talented running back, but you're right, he probably will only get a vet minimum deal, which means they will probably attempt to trade him, since IR'd players can be traded as of 2018.Has he really shown anything that would make him worth more then a veteran minimum on a 1 year prove it deal? I know Ravens fans love him but to the league he is an oft injured RB that has never put together a steady string of tape to show he can really carry a team. If I am a GM I would not hand more then the veteran minimum for that.

the practice squad will be better for himIf that's the case why not IR Willie? I'm sure some bozo team would trade for him.
The D-line depth worries me a bit after the surprise Willie Henry cut. But, I'm sure Ricard and McPhee were the two reasons they decided to stick with BWill, Pierce, Wormley and Mack. I'm hoping they have a couple for depth in the practice squad when that is set.

I actually think this telegraphs our plans for pass rush this year. Will see a lot of LBs on the field together. Per FilmStudy, Ravens ran a team record low in base defense with 3 DL on the field last season. Expect that to go down and see a lot of run for the OLBs inside.
We also talk a lot about CJ’s struggles in coverage but he also wasn’t an amazing blitzer. I expect ILB responsibilities in the scheme to change a lot more rushing from the ILBs as well. Both Peanut and Young are monsters on that front.
Its not only that but guys like McPhee and imo Ferguson will also line up with their hands in the dirt acting like passrushing DTs.
got it. I thought he typed Willis.He was talking about Willie Henry lol.
Henry wasn't injured. Dixon did in fact have an injury. Was it bad enough for an IR, I highly doubt it.If that's the case why not IR Willie? I'm sure some bozo team would trade for him.
I've been thinking this exactly. The preponderance of 2 down fronts last year explains a good bit to us about the roster along with what we might expect.I actually think this telegraphs our plans for pass rush this year.

he was on IR in 2016 and I believe he started both 2017 and 2018 on IR.Surprised Canady is eligible for PS to be honest
