The 2014 Baltimore Ravens offseason thread

[J-Fire]

Just got the alert on my phone that we are the favorites to sign Steve Smith

I know he's old and I said I didn't want to sign a vet WR but I would love the toughness he'd bring to this offense

I hope flacco can handle him being a loud mouth, outspoken, and probably getting smacked up literally when he has flucco games.

If Steve Smith is calm and plays tough in games i'm all for it....but i dunno about him sometimes.

We resigned Daryl Smith 4years 16 mill

 

[Rob's al Ghul]

Great news. Considering what D'Qwell and Dansby got, that's a good value, too.

Should also mean they won't have to key on Mosley at #17. They could still take him, but now we can probably look at going BPA as usual (especially if S. Smith signs).

 

[Wiirdo]

Good signing. I was really hoping we'd re-sign him. $4m a year is good value too.

I know it's not been the biggest splashes this offseason, but I love what Ozzie's done so far: not throwing money at the big names right away, letting the market establish these positions' values, keep your focus on the draft

sure it would have been great adding a DQwellJackson or Jairus Byrd, but we have a front office that can draft guys who are (obviously) gonna be cheaper and younger. I'd rather build a foundation that creates great players than try to spend every dime on unsigned free agents

in Ozzie we trust brehs

How soon should we know about Steve Smith to the Ravens end of the day?

He should have already met with the team by now

My guess is if he leaves town without a deal then we probably won't get him

Hopefully something happens before the day is over

Wow, 3 year deal.

Wow, 3 year deal.

I like SS but I dunno about this move brehs.

Same. 3 years is to be honest. He won't see it out anyway.

 

[Morose Polymath]

y'all treat my OG good!! Y'all got a warrior on y'all squad. A determined and angry Steve Smith ain't nothing to fukk with.

Have to see the way the contract is structured. The 3rd year is likely a bullshyt year. Might be just a way to keep the cap number down.

 

[Nino Soprano]

One of my fav receivers is on my squad now

Great day for me brehs

I suspect so. I'm really happy we've signed him though. He's a fighter. He fits in with the Ravens
