Chris Moore should've caught that beautiful TD pass by Lamar against the Chiefs.

All of this ties in well with talk of analytics and stat output is far from the end all be all. Experience leadership and bringing together a cohesive unit is huge. True Weddle’s lost more than a step but if you don’t think his absence leaves a hole in our league leading D you are kidding yourself. Report how opposing teams worried about game planning against what he brought to our D means more to me than a stat line
He was released for one reason- his cost to us was astronomical and outweighed his value. To say he’s worth $2M per tops is absurd.
We do have an opportunity to replace him with a younger, fresher talent but that person is going to have big shoes to fill in terms of role.

Michael Pierce got a 2nd round tender.

Spot on with that. I miss Weddle, but he probably declined restructuring and a lower salary to stay on the team. I wonder also if we could have kept Flacco or if restructuring his huge contract was discussed with him. The salary cap is a key concept managed by the organization.

Absolutely as expected. Pierce is worth every bit of that tender. Peanuts 2nd round tender was not as much of a no brainer but still made perfect sense especially given his performance last year and the current uncertainty around the ILB position

Does that mean anyone can just snag Pierce with their second rounder or do we have right to refusal?
Ravens fan: we need to be dominant upfront and build this offense around the running game.

We can contest. And if we don't we get a second round.
we can match or take the 2nd round pick

It wouldn't shock me if somebody forces our hand and gives him a contract.

Peanut was a no brainer since he was undrafted and definetly would have been pursuid which would probally have cost us more than the 3 mil this year.

As far as our ILB situation if we don't resign Mosley I think we'll be allright. Peanut is coming along and Young got experience last year. There's a couple AAFL ILB's that we could bring in, a veteran cut ( Sean Lee perhaps?), and draft a TJ Edwards or somebody of that ilk in the mid rds and you know damn well some RFA will make a wave lol. All and all tho we'll be allright.

Anyone else really warming up to not resigning cj and just taking jamie collins in free agency for half the price?

Dwayne Allen signed a 7m dollar contract. I would've let Boyle walk, sign Allen and get the comp pick or at least a player who qualifies for the formula.

I like Collins but I'm more hopeful that another team opts to sign him instead of signing CJ in order to cut costs.
um no thanks

Perhaps but that rarely ever happens.
If someone does ... my bet is it would be the Browns
