That’s before trading or cutting Flacco and that saves us 10.5m

Free Agency 2019

That’d be the 18th most cap space in the league before we even add in cuts and trades or whatever and is tonnes more than we’ve had as a franchise for a long long time
I’m not sure who we spend it on but I think we’re gonna see a splash of some kind in free agency (although it might be taking care of our guys...)

Here's a great site that details contracts/caps....can potentially work out what we do to free up space....

Yep, use it all the time. This and overthecap are good sites.

So, we could have about $58m in space with flacco, suggs, brown released ? if I'm reading it right, and perhaps a little more with other moves of fringe players.
Suggs isn’t under contract next yr and neither is Brown.

Suggs is getting another contract if he wants it.

I really dont see a situation where tsizzle is not a Raven he will either choose to retire which I dont think he will or he will play for a cheap price.... and its not like he isnt producing he is worth a little bit of money

Use it a lot, it's a good study guide for the Forum Mock on which teams you want to control. I think the extra cap should be used to keep the current guys we have. I reckon Mosley will get the Tag and looking at Over The Cap, that's $14.9M to tag him at Linebacker. Also interestingly we got several key RFAs in Michael Pierce, Alex Collins, Patrick Onwuasor which could require the second round tender to keep them. With Gus Edwards, I doubt we tender Collins anything but original round. OTC currently projects the second round tender at $3,100,000 so assuming 2 of those three get it that's $6,200,000 toward Pierce and Onwuasor. Even then, after releasing Joe and Jimmy(thinking he'll be gone with the depth we have in our secondary) we would still have a good amount. Maybe ask Jefferson if he'll take a pay cut to stay at his current $12M cap hit and if not make a run at Landon Collins or Joyner.
Only thing I know is this is the right time to have cap space, Lamar is on his rookie contract and we have a window to win another Super Bowl before having to pay a even higher QB contract than we did with Joe but with Lamar.

This is very true. I actually think we'll win it (or go very close to) this season (fingers crossed vs Browns first of course). There's a sense of "destiny" with this current situation we're in, and the two times we won it there was a similar sense of "destiny" around us. Touch wood.
But yeah, as to your point....we're in a very good situation cap-wise, window-wise, and Lamar-wise (rookie contract). We can certainly strengthen the D up even more with some key FAs, the area we have to upgrade at is WR tho, we can do that in the draft as well.

He can do that in CLE or CIN
He’s such a drama queen and a perfect fit for that drama queen of an organization

Are you really trying to say you wouldn’t want AB here...
He’s a dramatic little bitch but dude, he’s at worst the 2nd best in football and throughout this decade has been the most prolific by far.

I like to see them try get rid of him. They won't do shit with him. Let's see how well their O performs without one of the best WRs in the game.

He really doesnt fit our team chemistry. Wouldnt wanna bring him in either. Hes all about himself and not the team
