Ravens To Sign Fresno State DT Cornell Banks

Based on a story in the Fresno Bee, the Baltimore Ravens have apparently reached an agreement to sign former Fresno State Bulldog DT Cornell Banks to a free agent contract. The undrafted Banks is 6'3" and anywhere between 310 and 323 pounds, depending on the publication. NFL Draft Scout has him at the heavier weight, along with more stats from his college career.
However, Banks says he is in the best shape of his career and may even be down to as little as 305 pounds. The Ravens may choose to use him as a defensive end at the lighter weight, or even bulk him back up in a more muscular way to keep him inside the middle of the line.
The signings are going to come fast and furious and Baltimore Beatdown will do whatever it can to keep on top of the flurry of moves that are sure to begin shortly.

correct
but I feel like we’ve got 3-4 solid guys that fill the same or similar role that Kelly Greg did and this guy is just the final piece that means we don’t need Kelly greg.

Now with Cody
Art Jones, Kelly, McKinney (under rated), McPhee, Redding, Banks…..Kelly Gregg is either gone or coming back REAL cheaply.

Could be
But, Herzlich is going to be VERY marketable, no place better than a NY team for him.

He is going to be a lockerroom cancer. Too soon?
Flacco's first 3 years vs. Brady's, Manning's and Brees' first 3 years
Flacco threw for just 21 fewer passing yards than Brady and tossed four fewer interceptions. Flacco threw for 1,655 more yards than Brees, two more touchdowns and four fewer picks. Manning, who averaged 88 more passes per season, threw for way more yards and touchdowns than Flacco, but also tossed 24 more interceptions.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?-langton Hughes
yeah I agree with Jimmy and Cary shutting down the other teams WR’s, they’ll make anybody rushing the QB look good - Jaz
money talks

This guy is hardly Gregg's replacement
Cody will be taking that role. Kelly will end up being reunited with Rex in New York, McGahee will end up in Denver, Mason will be resigned here to a cheaper contract, but unfortunately I think we’ve seen the last of Heap. He’s rumored to be taking this as a shot at his pride, and may choose to go somewhere else.

I feel bad for Heap
he could have had much better numbers elsewhere but instead stuck around here for years while we re-built our offense.
Heap
Football is a buisness, he needs to get over himself.
I like Turtles!
football is a business that is true but that dont mean players dont feel some kind of way
when they get released esspecailly when that player is still playing at a high level also the fact that you been with a team from start of your career in the nfl.

I was hoping he would retire from Baltimore
It will be wierd.
After a day or two, his emotions will calm down and maybe he’ll consider taking a pay cut. If not, it’ll be “DIIIIIIICK-SOOOOOOOOOOON! time”
