Washington agress to 1 year















Kelley Washington (formerly from NE) veteran WR came to work out with prospective teams & after seeing his potential the Ravens have decided they want him & Washington decided Baltimore is the place for him. Along with Washington the Ravens also worked out with Jerry Porter & Tab Perry who's expectations fell short after their shotty performances at training camp. The Ravens have been looking to bring in another pair of hands to help out on the pass game. After they didn't take anyone from the draft (as everyone expected/wanted) we've all been waiting to see what Ozzie was going to do about the situation. At first the idea of bringing Boldin in was being thrown around, but I think that in would be the answer but those thoughts were put to rest, since we don't have the $$ he wants & what he wants I don't think he worth. Then Newsome said we already have a receiver on the roster, Demetrius Williams, but once again he is sidelined with an injury...again (how many injuries/lack of playing does it take before you need to get rid of a player?). So with these options not available a couple of veterans were brought in to see if we could get a deal on someone. Washington stepped up & showed he wanted to be part of the team & that he wants to go to work. He also practiced down the beltway with the Redskins, but obviously he came back to Baltimore. The deal hasn't been fully finalized but after a quick physical the deal should be done by next week. Welcome aboard Washington, don't worry you'll actually get to touch the ball now that you Moss isn't on your team anymore. Let's see if you can help us out.

Anquan Boldin, Baltimore, ehhhhh.....

Now to address all this BS buzz on Anquan Boldin possibly coming to Baltimore. Here's what I thinkz, I don't really think he's that great, I don't really want him, BUUUUUT in Newsome I trust. Also, it's my general belief that Baltimore CAN make players that were sub-par, with some other team, better. I actually don't think we should take him for these reasons:
1. Granted he took a back seat to Fitzgerald (everyone WR in the league did), I feel he's always been some what of a #2 (which we basically already have 2 of).
2. I hope we can get Heyward-bey, but after his sick performance at the combine I dunno if he'll stick around long enough for us to snatch him. Despite this fact I think we can either pick up someone else who can grow with Flacco, & I would rather take my chances with some young blood rather than spend all my money on some older #2.
3. Give that extra money to keep Suggs!! The Turtle deserves it. I know you're just trying to be business men just in case he gets real injured but doesn't he deserve the long term pay he's works for everey game?!?!
Having said all this I still trust Newsome's descision making skills, he hasn't steered us too wrong thus far, so whatever he goes. Let me know Ozzie.
