The Rats are going to be taking a step back next year.....Book It! They are in serious trouble with their D and their O line is losing one of their top 2 performers. They better hope Joe Flacco is a future Pro Bowler b/c he is going to have to win games next year, not be carried by the rest of the team, like this year!

Of course, that could mean the Steelers just missed out on Alex Mack...

Eh....you think he will still be there when the Rats pick? I for one don't think he lasts that long, and LB is a much bigger need for the Ravens especially if RayRay leaves!

It's possible but from what I've seen and read of Unger I'd be cool with him too.

Re: NFL Free Agent Signing Thread

So did Leonhard sign with the Jets because Ryan is talking about him as if he is already under contract???? Just wondering if coaches are allowed to talk about players like he is if they are not a done deal yet???

You can scratch Bryant Johnson off the vet WR list, the Lions just signed him to a 3 year deal.

Looks like Nate is running out of potential employers.

Cowboys sign Keith Brooking to a 3 year deal.

Looks like ray ray may come back to Baltimore with his tail between his legs.

And he will act like he wanted to go back all along.

On another note, anyone see that originally Denver was trying to trade Cutler to Tampa, Tampa sends picks to New England and the Pats send Cassell to Denver. I guess McDaniels was pushign for Cassell over Cutler so now Cutler wants traded. Didn't Denver have a really good passing game last year and their main problem was the run game and defense?

I think Cutler is 10 times the quarterback Cassel is...so McDaniels is stupid...just because he is familiar with Cassel doesn't make him better than Cutler, who I think has the most potential of any of the QB's that are 25 and under in this league (since Ben is now 26, he has graduated from that title). That would have been a coup for Tampa if it had happened. Way to screw up the H.C.-Q.B. relationship before your first game has been played.

Re: NFL Free Agent Signing Thread

I was just thinking of the pi$$ poor Ravens. I drafted for those numskulls in the mock draft last year (and I have them this year too) and if I remember correctly, I drafted Keith Rivers for them in the 1st round. My thought was at the time, getting them a replacement for Ray Ray.. I traded up thru the second and got back into the late 1st again only to get beaten out by the Falcons who snared Flacco. I took Henne.

However, in the REAL draft, the Falcons took Ryan and the Ravens still ended up with Flacco. They could've done what I did and got both a LB and their QB.

Too freakin bad Ratbirds....... You missed out on getting your replacement for Ray Ray last year. Then again, Hines would've just popped his jaw of out place anyways.....

Mack to the Dolphins with the 25th pick. Ravens will have to move up in the draft if they want him...

Source: Canty leaves Dallas for NY
By John Clayton
ESPN.com

The New York Giants continued to beef up their defensive on Sunday, reaching their second agreement with a lineman in two days with the acquisition of former Cowboys end Chris Canty.

Canty, according to a source, reached a six-year, $42 million contract. Another source told ESPN.com's Matt Mosley that $17.25 million of the deal is guaranteed.

On Saturday, the Giants signed former Seahawks defensive tackle Rocky Bernard for around $4 million per year, according to a source.

Even though Canty played end in the Cowboys 3-4, he is expected to play tackle for the Giants. Sensing Canty was going to have a market in the $7 million per year range, the Cowboys didn't have the room to keep him.

The former fifth-round pick started 48 consecutive games over the past three seasons and had two starts in his rookie year in 2005. Last year, he had 37 tackles and three sacks for the Cowboys.

Canty had narrowed his decision Sunday to the Giants and the Packers. He had a tentatively scheduled a trip to Seattle for Monday, but he was notified early Sunday morning that the Seahawks were going to sign Packers defensive tackle Colin Cole.

Maybe ray ray to just switch from the afc ratbirds to the nfc dirtybirds? After all, Ray Ray did his best work {cough*murder*cough} in Atlanta
