I don't think Ozzie would've paid Mosley 17 million per year either.

Mosley is a good linebacker but not a great one . He is still very weak in pass coverages. No way were we going to match the Jets 17 million a year price .

Yeah maybe not but there is going to be a huge void in leadership on that D with Mosley and Weddle both gone.
It’s early yet though and we’ll see how things progress over next few months.

We have to be patient but it’s hard when you see important pieces of the team going away. I’m not buying that our replacements at the positions we’re losing are currently in house. The market for quality players is increasing and were possibly going to need to adjust our thinking.
I think that adjustment is taking place now. DeCosta clearly seems focused on getting guys extended early, judging by the reports that Stanley, Judon, and Pierce are all extension priorities. It sucks to see Mosley go, but I think this just furthers the adjustment to get guys done early.

Mosley was a good linebacker but not multi year 17 M good . Not even close .

Nothing stops these players to hold on and refuse to sign early extensions, though. Maybe fear of injury but that's it.
For sure. It seems that's where priorities have shifted though, which is a good thing.
I'm going through Zrebiec's twitter now out of curiosity, and it sounds like the Ravens didn't even approach Mosley with an actual offer on an extension until after this season, which is just inexcusable. Even if the player refuses, at least it seems the effort is there.
I think the bigger issue is lackluster GMs that draft poorly (Maccagnan, Lynch) always giving out huge FA contracts to make up for their own mistakes. Not a single GM was fired last year.

And pass rusher
during the season or after doesn't matter. There is plenty of time and could have been a distraction during the season. There were reports they spoke prior to the season though.
Zrebiec is saying they spoke, but offer was made or anything. More of a feeling out process.
Zds getting17 a year oh my god wow
