Dumervil Firmly On Ravens Radar
Pass rusher Elvis Dumervil is "firmly on the Ravens' radar" says The Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson. Dumervil was released by the Broncos Friday in a fax machine screw-up after agreeing to take a pay cut. The 29-year-old pass rusher had 11 sacks last year. There is interest from several teams, Wilson reports, and the Ravens hope to meet with him after the owners meetings

Ravens fans would change their doom n gloom tune awfully quickly if Elvis Dumervil signed with Baltimore. Salary cap room is there.

Brandon Lloyd released by the Patriots

yea I read that earlier.....

Free agent Elvis Dumervil's fired player rep, Marty Magid, has agreed to waive Dumervil's five-day waiting period to hire a new agent.It's the least Magid could do after sabotaging his client's best interest. Dumervil is now eligible to hire another agent immediately, which in turn would allow Dumervil to sign with a team. The Ravens want to bring him in for a visit.

There is a chance the Pats bring back Lloyd at a lower salary, but they are also looking at making an offer to Emmanuel Sanders from the Steelers.

Dumervil said he's interested in possibly playing for Miami, but no one's heard of any specific interest from the Dolphins yet.

I know the Ravens are trying to make a point to talk to him at some point, but not sure if mutual.

I think it would be hilarious if Belichick came in and picked him up.

well...then.... that rat Bas*ard. lol!

hmmm LOL I find this funny!

Tuck rule is no more!

NFL Evolution - Health & Safety

yay for the tuck rule abolishment

double boo for the crown rule.

One step forward, two steps back. Haven't these guys ever played before? You are supposed to lower yourself as a runner as much as possible. :shakes head:

Might as well be playing frickin soccer. BS!

:iagree:

I guess the only thing we can hope for is they enforce the crown rule as an explosion of force initiating contact. Lowering yourself in expectation of contact should be perfectly legal regardless of where initial contact is made (i.e. crown of helmet makes contact and continues in the same direction - typically downward). If they're going to have this rule, it should be limited to the running backs who lower the head and then explode upwards into a defender (i.e. crown of helmet makes contact and turns upward as the ball carrier lunges forward into the defender).

Regardless, this rule is fvcking stupid, and I think they're going to have a hell of a time enforcing it in questionable scenarios. Oh and good riddance, tuck rule :hello:

:icon18: :icon18: :icon18:

Goodell did say in a interview some time ago that his greatest fear is someone dying on the field. :shakes head: god forbid that ever happen but you know it does get to a point where all these rules are going to make the game unable to watch due to its patty cake methods.

You mean it'd be more entertaining to watch? :stirthepot:



What they really need to do is remove the pads and helmets, like rugby players, and the players will learn how to hit/tackle properly without getting hurt.

Ed Reed has officially signed with the Houston Texans. good luck Ed to your future !
agreed to a 2 year contract

NFL | Texans get their man, give Reed 2-year deal - Rotoworld.com

Sweet :tup:

glad that's over, he wanted too much , the Ravens just were not going to pay him what he was asking for , for someone that is 34 years old, heck problems, and past his prime.

good luck to Ed in your future!

Brian Urlacher leaving the Bears
Brian Urlacher, Chicago Bears part ways after 13 years - NFL.com

That was unexpected :ugh2:

Nope, he's a has-been and Chicago management knew it. Good move!

If by "has been" you mean hall of famer that could certainly be a solid roleplayer on another team I guess.

Hall-of-famer...maybe. Solid...not a chance. Roll player...coach maybe...definitely not player. He needs to retire.

Reason for Brian not reaching an agreement with the Bears is they couldnt pay him what he wanted and they didnt want to pay him too much for being 35 years old. Brian still has a season or two in the tank of decent play if he gets over his leg injury.

But saying he is a "has been" means you know nothing about the Bears and Brian Urlacher.


I personally would have loved to see him back this year if the money was right, that way they could draft his replacment this year.


DAN

The bears offer was pretty insulting too: 1 yr, 2m

He is 35 years old with leg issues 1 year at 2.5 mil is a great offer for where he is at in his career. If he wanted to stay he would have taken it, Would he have stayed if Smith was still there and they offered him the same... I think so.


Like I said I wanted him to stay but it didnt work out so now they have to look to get younger at that position.




DAN

Urlacher is a has-been. He's too old, too fragile now.

Sure, he was decent (I refuse to say anything better, I dislike the Bears :p), but that's all history now. He's in the same boat as Ed Reed. He needs to quit while he can still walk, and stop doing TV commercials, because he royally sucks at that.

Disagree. If he stays healthy (big if, yeah but hey) he will be a solid role player on any team that will have him with the added bonus of being a leader and a wealth of knowledge on the LB position.

The Ravens are now the Florida Marlins lol

Except they have the most elite QB in the league.







/sarcasm

That's Super Elite QB sir :tiphat:

For sure.

Picking him as the first pick in the fantasy draft over this year over everyone. Single-handedly will win me the league! :icon17:



In all honesty, he's not worth the money that was paid to him. Especially now with his best receiver gone (Boldin). I'm half-curious to see how "good" he is this coming year. Though I don't think the Ravens make it passed the first round (or to the playoffs at all) this coming year either.

They really got boned here while Flacco sat back and won the NFL's version of the lottery.

If they cut him, it's Dilfer again and everyone else was jumping ship which would leave them with nothing.

If they keep him, they grossly overpay.

Either way it sucks which is fine with me because I don't like the Ravens lol

FA Elvis Dumervil has reportedly received offers from both Denver and Baltimore,we may be nearing an end of the Saga, stay tuned!

Denver's deal is believed by many to be a 3 year deal, however terms are not yet known. Baltimore's offer details is not yet known.
