Around the NFL Free Agency Thread 2013

So, how did the Ravens afford Canty but could not seem to keep any of their key guys. I still think the Ravens squeeze into the playoffs though, unlike the G-men this year, but they will lose in the first round.

I'm not even a Ravens fan but I'm butthurt about them letting go Boldin. That move irritates me to no end. Dude was clutch for them in the playoffs.

Lewis retired, the successor left, obviously Boldin got traded, looks like Reed is going to leave. I still think the best GM in football in my opinion has some tricks up his sleeve but I do not see a bright future for that team. Especially with Suggs getting old and having injury problems.

Can't keep everyone when you win a Super Bowl in today's NFL.

The ravens went out and got a guy at a position that wasn't even a need. Meanwhile they have no starting MLBs with Lewis retiring, Ellerbe leaving and McClain with a bad neck.

Exactly, you use free agency to fill some needs and add depth, but like I said in my previous post, Newsome is one of those guys who usually figures it out.

I have never said fill needs through the draft. Draft best player available. Never fails. Unless you are the Raiders and you draft a punter.
