This is awful! Like you said, the scouting dept. is really going to need to step up because we are going to have to hit on a high percent of the mid to late round picks this year and next year! Maybe Cooley, Moss, and Hall would be willing to restructure? Brown…cut him and let [...]

haha, yeah I never saw them overturning this. It’s a gray area on both sides and the league has more precedence backing them up.

I’m still upset over this issue and think we did nothing wrong, but it is what it is and we just need to do the best job we can in-spite of this injustice. Sounded like a Don King disciple right there, LOL!

I know he wants to get paid, but from what I’ve read he’s really only looking for a 1 year deal (and it will be pro rated) So if you pay him $12 million (only $8 million for the last 4 months) I think that is fine.

haha…no i agree this is what smart teams do…it worries me that we never seem to do anything like this.

@John- I def. agree he should be grateful, but so should the Pats. Welker’s role on the team is so key to their (and my fantasy) success. Despite being a 1,000 yard receiver Ochocinco was completely ineffective last year, and while I expect more from Brandon Lloyd, Skins fans know how that road can go.

Real question is did Todd Haley call Big Ben yet? The Steelers like the Ravens, Giants and Packers continue to build and rebuild without having down years. This is just another case.

@Anthony yeah i guess i just wouldn’t push him b/c while the Ravens could lose Lewis or Reed to retirement soon, I still don’t think that window is close to closing. Suggs in 2013 is key to that team’s success. But you are right he is a bit of a freak.

@steveospeak Good point. I do worry about his declarations that he will be back in October, which obviously is ridiculous. It makes me think he is going to push it unnecessarily. I also think he may be part monster and incapable of feeling pain, which could really affect his judgement.
