2009 Free Agents

It seems like Jason Brown wants to come here, so I think we should just jump on the chance if it's there now and then come April maybe we can focus our attention at #13 on a position other than Guard

SmootSmack (and whoever else might have an inside read on the FO): are we gonna sign Hall or not? I'm so frustrated at this point. If current cap was an issue why didn't we cut Springs and sign Hall (his naturally replacement) simultaneously?

JASON BROWN SAYS RAVENS WILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE ON OFFENSE
Posted by Mike Florio on February 26, 2009, 7:09 p.m.

Ravens center Jason Brown will soon be playing for a new team. And it sounds like Brown is more than a little bitter over the team’s decision not to pay him the kind of contract he apparently will be getting on the open market.

“[F]or the last four years I’ve poured out my heart and my soul to that team,” Brown said during an appearance on Sporting News Radio’s The Monty Show. “Any and everything that you could possibly say or do to be that guy, the type of caliber player where any team out there would say, ‘Hey that’s the type of guy we want, that we need on our team,’ that’s me. I’m not trying to pump myself up right now, but that’s how I have to feel because I’ve done everything possible to market myself and to build my stock over the last four years.”

Brown also thinks that the decision not to keep him arises from an ongoing philosophy to invest money onto the defensive side of the ball.

“And I do realize they’re in a binding situation right now and if you look at the history with Baltimore they’ve always been a defensive team and with the stance their taking with me right now looks as though they will continue to be a defensive team that struggles offensive wise,” Brown said.

Brown has been informed that the Ravens won’t be attempting to re-sign him. Candidates to land him include the Redskins, Dolphins, Vikings, and Rams.

Jason Brown is looking to become one of the highest paid interior linemen in the NFL. Do you really think he's worth that kind of money to play center for us?

Personally, no. Sandwiched between big Dock and a resurgent Thomas (or Rinehart or Jansen possibly) Rabach is serviceable.

He ain't getting Faneca $$$. When he makes a Pro Bowl then he can think about asking for that. If he has unreasonable demands, then pass on him.

Couldnt agree more. He might not get Faneca $, but who knows? Look at the contract Dockery got from the Bills. Noone expected a slightly-above average interior lineman to fetch that kind of money.

Where are you getting the dollar/contract amounts from, that he's looking for?

Highest paid interior lineman......HELL NO!

I concur! But, espn repoted that Brown and his agent are looking for a huge deal, more specifically to be the highest paid interior lineman in the league. I don't have a link considering I am one of three people left in the US that still have a dial up connection.

SmootSmack · 02-26-2009, 09:12 PM

The interest in both sides, but it's apparently more from Brown's side then the Redskins. If we do sign him, Kendall is basically gone

That would not upset me too much because we would be getting younger at that position. On the other hand it doens't do much for the whole picture on the offensive line. We still have questions at RG and RT. We would still need to make at least one more move for a T and move Jansen inside. I know that I am stating the obvious but...

LOL Brown complains about the lack of offense in Baltimore... I know, i know we'll be better this year but really.
