I could see that being the case too. I'm officially rooting against the Ravens!

I’m not a Max hater but he also has had his knee cut on more than once now and turning 29. I think his decline is sooner rather than later

Yea it seems to be taking way to f[raiders_icon]cking long on the in's & out's of Wilkins if you know what I mean;)

Is there anything on defense?

Literally, the defense is nothing. A ball of clay.

Could this be one of the worst defensive rosters ever put out on an NFL football field?

Didn't say we should take him. I noted he's right around that portion of the draft if the FO decided to go that route.

A bit early to make that assumption. Free agency and draft may yield 8 new starters.

my first reaction:
although the compensation seems pretty good (better than 2 end-of-first-round picks) Mendoza will be the „face of the Franchise“ going forward and therefore i‘m still excited. Maxx didn‘t kick up a fuss - at least not like others have in the past - like publicly demanding a trade - and that helped net the organization two 1st. if we quash those picks - like we did the picks from the Mack-Trade - we will be worse. if Spytek and the entire new regime hit on those picks we could be better. time will tell, but for now i personally am a bit sad. i love Maxx as a player. still do. always will. A LOT. on the field he emphasimizes everything you wish for as a fan. but i believe he really he wanted out - and after all the regimes changes - i can‘t even blame him.

i still wished he would have given it one more shot with Kubiak + Mendoza.

personally i wish him well and now we look to the future.

Yeah, I love having another team’s first, gives you a second team to cheer for. Cheering for their demise, but still cheering.

At least one other guy knows the proper phrasing.

The good news is we have the most cap space in the league and lot of good guys on D have been released or not resigned.

They say 119 mil.

Draft and develop, don’t sign expensive, flashy types. Carry space over and build from the bottom up.

Only owing 5.1 million for his contract and it looks to be carry over from his previous? That's huge.

Agreed.

A top 10 pick in next year’s draft doesn’t sound half bad either.

We have the cap space & picks to turn this turd into filet mignon if the new regime makes the right choices, and so far they are doing a great job!!! Might even pull a Patriots season???
