Exit aging Ed Reed and one dimensional Bernard Pollard, enter Michael Huff and Matt Elam. WIN!
Exit aging Ray Lewis, enter far cheaper and expected to be very solid ILB Arthur Brown. PUSH?
Exit overrated Paul Kruger, enter steal of the off season, and HUGE upgrade in Elvis Dumerville. WIN!!
Traded Anguan Bolden for a 6th, which they used to trade up and steal Arthur Brown. LOSS (slight one)
Other losses:
- CB Cary Williams
- LB Danelle Ellerbe
? LT Bryant McKinnie
Other additions:
+ DE Chris Canty
+ DE Marcus Spears
+ DL Brandon Williams (draft)
+ DE/OLB John Simon (draft)
Ravens have always been a team to have youngsters ready to step into starting roles, which they will need at CB and ILB, since it already appears the Rolando McClain project is a bomb, and possibly WR, as I do not see Jacoby Jones as an full time starter. However w/ Rice, Pierce, Smith, Pitta and Dickson, and Jones/Streeter to fill in WR2/3, I don't see a problem in the receiving corp.
Overall, I hardly see a team getting butthurt here.
