Anyone on the Ravens we should try poaching?

WOW...The Ravens are facing a cap crisis. Baltimore is $500K under the projected cap of $140M and have some expensive free agents.
Aaron ross?

seriously though if you look at their unrestricted free agents its not much of a list...

Got to wait and see who they cut..
Safety Darian Stewart

Played under Spags in St. Louis and in Baltimore might be a guy we look at.
I would hope  
YANKEE28 : 1/29/2015 11:41 am : link
we sign Jeromy Miles, the Ravens Free Safety

1. Jersey kid
2. College teammate of Victor Cruz (and Talley)
3. Previously coached by Spags

He is young, with 5 years of NFL experience
sign both S

any cheap DL and LB?
They consistently have good Special Teams  
SwirlingEddie : 1/29/2015 11:50 am : link
We might look there.

Who is on the list of expensive FAs?
You want to see cap hell? Look at the saints

Torrey Smith is a UFA.  
Pete in MD : 1/29/2015 11:57 am : link
He is a decent veteran complimentary WR. He had a bit of a down year but was still their #2 receiver behind Steve Smith. He's also only 25 years old (and a Maryland Terp.)

The Giants brought in return specialist Jacoby Jones last off-season before he re-signed with the Ravens. There could be interest there again.
Flacco's contract will kill that team.

The dead money according to overthecap for the next three seasons for him are:

$36.4 million
$24.850 million and
$15.3 million when he will have a cap number over $31 million

This doesn't include Dennis Pitta who has a cap hit of nearly $13 million and if they cut him it will be a loss of nearly $7 million They better hope he retires.

I think they extend Yanda and Ngata which will give them breathing room. It wouldn't surprise me if Canty is cut which will save more than $2 million. Jimmy Smith may be cut too. He's their best corner but cutting him saves nearly $7 million without a cap hit. He ended the season on IR and he has an off the field past as well, as recent as last summer.

Ladarius Webb could be cut. His contract is a joke. It would save them $2 million but it would create a cap hit of $10 million. Tough choice.
I thought  
pjcas18 : 1/29/2015 12:08 pm : link
Canty announced his retirement.

In either case, how does retirement help the cap?

I heard he was thinking about it but no official announcement. As far as it's effect I'm not completely sure. That would be a good question for our BBI capologists but I'm sure it has to be a better scenario for the Ravens vs. Pitta playing next season. They're in a bad spot with his contract.
Here are their...  
Chris in Philly : 1/29/2015 12:11 pm : link
free agents. Some interesting names...

Scratch Jones  
Pete in MD : 1/29/2015 12:13 pm : link
off of the list. I just looked at his contract an it would seem unlikely that he i cut. It would cost them money to let him go in 2015.

Pernell McPhee is another UFA. He's an edge rusher who played OLB in their 3-4 but definitely has the size (6'2/280 lbs) to play DE in a 4-3, where he played in college. He had 7.5 sacks in 2014.
Always liked Owen Daniels  
Go Terps : 1/29/2015 12:18 pm : link
He seems like he'd fit the offense.
Forsett  
BLUATHRT : 1/29/2015 12:25 pm : link
Though he's 29, has had few carries and was awesome this year. He might be a nice add on a 2 year deal.
Yeah, that Suggs guy is kind of good  
jeff57 : 1/29/2015 12:35 pm : link
And that have a guy named Ngata who's not bad.
I am so excited for this to happen.  
Emlen'sGremlins : 1/29/2015 12:49 pm : link
Look at all the talent that came over from the Packers last year when McAdoo became our OC.
Will Hill?  
JohnB : 1/29/2015 5:35 pm : link
maybe

:)
I think there's a guy named Benedict...  
BMac : 1/29/2015 5:44 pm : link
...that could be poached. They say he has the secret sauce.
NO Saints - Cap Hit  
rasbutant : 1/29/2015 6:43 pm : link
Jahri Evans Guard $11,000,000
Ben Grubbs Guard $9,100,000

That's a lot of money invested at the Guard position.
