Terrell Suggs: Can/should we get him?

IMO the Chiefs did us a favor. Love me some sizzle but his gas tank has been on empty for a while now, and us claiming him out of respect or obligation, and then take snaps away from guys like Ferguson is not in the best interest of this team right now. Sizz can retire a Raven whenever he is ready and all will be right in Ravens nation.
he absolutely would have helped in a situational role and would have helped Ferguson and Judon. @Filmstudy was talking about how he would have been really good in our racecar package.
but there's also events like the combine and owners meetings where all those people who would talk are there anyway so provides cover for such talks etc. im sure it happens elsewhere too but there's no equivalent period for waivers - especially given that its normally only 24 hours
if he doesnt - he'd play against us twice for different teams

It is fun to talk about such scenarios - but I cannot believe Suggs would show up at KC and then do nothing. That kind of insubordination is just super unprofessional and I think he is a pro at heart. He probably doesn't like the situation but would not be so petty as to pull a stunt like that.
He will either retire, or, deem that he may was well get one more run at a title and while he'd have rather done it with us, he'll do it with KC.

Yeah, yeah we know. Let us be unhappy about it for a little bit, OK?
i was only putting that out there because that's the only way this in any way could backfire for the chiefs - there's virtually no other scenario that would have any risk at all

I just new fat Andy wanted to get back at us and deny us the ability to get Suggs back. He's been pissed at us since we got Earl Thomas and has made moves with our personnel. This was a personal attack on Harbs. You could tell in today's presser John knew and was in a sour mood already. Nothing we can do about it but Suggs could fuck with them by not reporting but I doubt it given the money involved.
would be if the chiefs decided to cut him because he's making himself dead-weight - in which case he'd go through waivers again but that scenario is unlikely
for what it's worth all these teams also tried to deny us

I don't believe for one second that players and teams abide by those rules

Well it’s a moot point anyway, but you know why Suggs left here right? He didn’t want to milk undeserved money from the Ravens. He knew he was about done, but the Cardinals were willing to pay up. So why not take their money instead. But to your point I think Sizzle’s experience and presence in the locker room could help this team way more then he could help on the field, but then decisions have to be made about who gets IR’d or cut from the roster, and how do you get him snaps. We have beaten the best teams in the league without him and have won 10 games in a row. It’s hard for me to think that we really need him. On the other hand it would have been great to have him here to win another SB, and for him to go out as a champion Raven.

Suggs is a FA correct anyway after this year? I was reading how Deion Sanders tried to do the same thing back in 2002 where he wanted to join the Raiders on their Super Bowl run so he convinced the Redskins to release him. 5 teams put a claim in for him and he retired only to unretire and sign with us in the offseason. I can totally see Suggs doing the same thing.

I’ve now seen reports that he doesn’t plan to report to the chiefs but I’m not sure they are 100% reliable
