    Just telling you what I've read. They're prioritizing Justin M.

    I've also heard we could franchise Greenard. But I wouldn't take him off the board if I were another team.

    I haven't heard this, but I think it could happen.

    The Ravens media reported this. Has the Houston media reported this?

    I'm kind of hoping for Gabriel Davis. He's a needed deep threat and should not break the bank to sign.

    Another RB over Singletary isn't our biggest need in FA. He averaged 4.2 yards a carry with a battered offensive line. He's young. He will get better. I'm more worried about the players we have and their lack of run blocking. We couldn't even push forward for a couple yards to get first downs a lot of times. If the young guys on our line get better and healthier Singletary will too. I'd focus on bigger needs for defense with that money in FA, and replacing the weak links. Find another backup RB in the lower rounds of the draft if needed.

    Ravens have a ton of upcoming free agents this offseason, however, their front office has been really good at picking up guys from other places on their third contracts.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they reload well to an extent with some outgoing FA’s.

    Would be a good place to go shopping for defense.

    We would have to sign Singletary as a FA since his contract expired. estimates ate a bit over $5M/yr.

    If their teams are hell bent on keeping Jones and Madubuike, then it completely changes the projections drastically.
    That leaves option C to be opened to the highest bidder among the other 30 teams. Let's say only half of those teams are serious about improving their D-line at that price. Eagles find a trade for Haason, Fletcher leaves and they sign Wilkins, option C is gone.

    Only sexy options left are D,E,F plus bringing back Rankins/Tart .

    E. Stewart, probably re-signs with Colts.
    F. Leonard Williams


    But what if Told you Justin Jones had 17 qb hits and 22 pressures, playing 60% of all defensive snaps.
    He should be one of the targets if they sign DT. Thought he had another year left with the Bears but apparently an UFA.

    Kinlaw makes sense. Played well in limited snaps but was considered a malcontent last season when Meco was there.

    Before we dream anymore on FAs we probably need to see who gets tagged or signed.

    Also some interesting guys getting released.

    Yes; what a waste it would be if Saquon was the best offensive player in football, led the Texans to the Super Bowl... and then was "shut down" by generating 160 yards of offense and scoring a TD....

    Yeah that's funny someone would use the superbowl and claim CMC was "shut down". Only thing that shut down the 49ers was Shanahan and that defense at the end.

    Chargers are currently $35M+ over the cap
