They knew about the video they even tried to buy it from TMZ (I may be a teenager but I have some sources) They did it so they would have cap room this year (potentially for some deal that never came to fruition or just for flexbility) Either way the ravens are screwed in 2015 cap wise. No matter what cutting ngata (unless he signs an extension of reasonable value) is gonna happen. Joe flacco pretty much had to be paid (or we'd have drafted geno smith in the 1st round) As for the rice contract...at the time RBs we're still valued highly (hello trent richardson!) and are still worthy of a pay day (top 5 RBs only) No one saw what rice did coming so the ravens never thought they would have to cut him. As for pitta...I think he'll make a recovery....not a full one...but he'll be an average TE at the very least... worst case scenario he goes on IR for two years and we cut him. I agree with you yanda is pretty much untouchable.... (though the ravens have a lot of cheap lineman wagner,osmele,zuttah) so they might cut yanda if they absloutley must. The ravens didn't see this situation coming it's not a matter of incompetence on the ravens as a much of ray rice fucking up to the highest degree. The ravens will regress in 2015. Unless 2012,2013,2014 draft clases are loaded with talent (So far upshaw,osmele,jackson,tyson) were the impact players from the 2012 class. Not bad but not very good. Rotational lineman,iffy corner,very good guard,Solid LB. <br />Then the 2013 class with (elam,brown,williams,simon,juzicheck,wagner,lewis moore) are the only players from the class who stood out. (and will stand out) Elam,Williams are solid starters,juzychyck is a solid FB and etc. the 2014 class will make or break next season it looks pretty solid still so....who knows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309792660234408891noreply@blogger.com
