Rolle to Ravens

The Skins offer to Smoot is very fair, and like Matty said, I like the way they are not throwing money around this year. That said, Rolle was supposed to be the top CB in FA this year, so if they really want to keep Smoot, just bump the SB up from 10.5 to 11 million to match Rolle's and see what he and his agent have to say.

And by the way, why isn't the local media getting on the Ravens for going after all the big-name FA's this year? Remember that they have a new young owner now, and this is his first full offseason with the team (even though Newsome is still the GM).

So how the hell did Lucas get 13 mil? That is a crazy ass signing bonus compared to the market. So is Henry's. I think just about everyone has Rolle and Smoot as the top two FA CBs. It was almost unanimous. Carolina and Dallas vastly over paid it seems. Even Baxter's is high. Craziness. I am glad we're sticking hard on Smoot. Even if we end up losing him then at least we know they played the game the right way and it just didn't workout.

Let's not forget people found out Rolle had some health issues. I'm sure that dropped his payday considerably! Not to mention he's going to a team where he'll be the #2 CB and they have a good defense that can make him look better!
