One of The Best Cornerbacks In The NFL Is Now A Free Agent !!!!

From what I’ve heard.

Would lead to an accelerated cap hit, as far as I know.

We will not get Nnamdi…We are going to make Haloti the highest paid player at his position. We cannot afford to make Asomugha the highest paid CB also.

It would be a terrible decision to get rid of Landry. He has played very well this year besides a few missed tackles. But he is 2nd on our team in tackles and that is tough to do in this defense, especially someone from the secondary. Landry is the best option we have to put next to Reed.

else, why move webb to FS. wasn’t Carr a safety when he came here? it’s yet to see how well foxworth will even recover from his ACL tear.

I approve of your craziness.

Is Supply and demand. The demand is there for top tier FA’s, in all positions, every year. If I had a choice between Asomugha and the functional equivalent of an O-lineman, then, yes, I take the O-lineman. Barring a Jake Long or Joe Thomas coming available, I’ll take what I can get. The supply is only for a select few, at some positions, for some years. When an acknowledged and deserved All-Pro becomes available, you would be foolish to not at least examine the “art of the possible”.

Thanks. Hate to be negative, but I do not believe a word about Gaither. I will be completely blown away shocked into next week if he returns to Ravens as a tackle.

Having said that, it appears there are some nice attractive targets potentially out there at the tackle position. Of course, other teams will try sign them, starting with their own, but I believe the Ravens will have at least a decent chance at at least one of the better ones. Not looking good for Center -may have to go the draft route or trade.

Given what we have currently, Nnamdi Asomugha is the only CB I would consider going after.

Looking at the linebackers, I only see one, two or three I would even consider. But, I am not so stressed about this as we seem pretty good and drafting and building this position from within; even though right now we may be in a bit of a trough. I see no reason why we cannot continue to draft at this position and continuing to build from within at LB.

I think where we can land a blue-chipper or two is on the DL -lots of solid candidates; I am sure the Ravens could sign one or two of the better ones. Put them with Ngata and a platooned Cody, WOW…

Based upon this, I see the Ravens signing a big name D-lineman or two and possible an offensive tackle. Would love to see Nnamdi Asomugha in purple but not holding my breath (but still keeping my fingers crossed-!!)

the guys that catch my eye are mostly the top-tier guys, so i don’t expect the ravens to bring in many if any after re-signing their own. but, all things equal and it worked out that we had a need and these guys weren’t retained by their own, i wouldn’t mind seeing them go after:

S Weddle
CB Asomugha
Joseph (no way the bengals let him get away)
Bailey (switch to safety?)
LB Hali (we saw what he can do)
Woodley (no way the steelers let him get away)
D’Qwell Jackson (rename the Ravens the pro-Terps?)
Erin Henderson (ditto)
DE Kiwanuka
Cullen Jenkins
WR Vincent Jackson (probably too expensive)
Malcolm Floyd (chargers won’t let him get away)
James Jones

We need to create more pass rush, whether we do that with another speed-rushing LB like Hali next to Suggs, well, that’d be great but unlikely, or a more traditional 4-3 d-end.

I’d like an upgrade on Landry if possible.

I’d love a true lockdown corner, so Asomugha, while not priority, is too good to ignore.

I’d love a speed guy or someone who can make big plays down the field at WR. Stallworth hasn’t been doing it, and Boldin, Mason, and Housh (a FA) are all more possession-style guys.

We could address some of these through the draft as well, of course. And it’s all a bit early, considering its Steelers week, part 3!
