Ravens' Free Agency So Far

So as of Friday, February 27, NFL Free Agency began. I'm not going to talk about every team, but just the Baltimore Ravens and the teams that have a connection to them because of Free Agency.

Let me start out with the good:
The Ravens kept Terrell Suggs, even though they had to franchise tag him to do it. They also signed Domonique Foxworth to a 4 year deal. If the name sounds familiar to some, it's because he played football at the University of Maryland. And since nobody signed Ray Lewis and gave him the deal he thought he would get, he is probably returning, which is a huge plus.

Now to the bad:
The Ravens released Chris McAlister. He has been on the Ravens for almost this whole decade, and is a pro-bowl player. However, in recent years he has been injury plagued, limiting his performance.

Another hit was the loss of Bart Scott. This really fired me up when he left for the Jets. Now I know he got more money and one more year on the contract, and he told reporters how he wanted to be the leader, not follow a leader (Ray Lewis), but he has a better chance of playing in the Super Bowl with the Ravens than the Jets. And I'm not just saying this because I'm just a Ravens fan, but it's the truth. Our defense is better than theirs, clearly, and our offense is up-and-coming. The Jets' offense...not so much. No quarterback, no wide receiver, Coles was just released, only two runnig backs. Have a good time with your money Bart! On Sundays, you won't get to watch much on the sideline.

Jason Brown, a young center, also left the Ravens for the RAMS. Look, I know that the Ravens could not have resigned every player from last year, nor did I want them too. I'm not even sure if we offered Jason Brown a contract. But if we did, I think you can take a few less million to be on a winning team than on a team that won 2 games last year. And then he wants to go and rip our offense from a few years ago? YOU SIGNED WITH A TEAM THAT HAS A WASHED UP WIDE RECEIVER AND QUARTERBACK!!! Steven Jackson is injured quite often, and the whole team is just horrible period. Coaches are in and out, fans don't attend games...WHY WOULD SOMEBODY WANT TO PLAY THERE?!?!?! It makes no sense to me.

Finally, Samari Rolle now wants out. This is because he feels the Ravens do not want him on the team and he wants to be a starter. I feel that he can start with Foxworth, and Fabian Washington can be the nickle, or Samari Rolle can man up and be the nickle. This whole situation for the Ravens' Free Agency is really just frustrating.
