Bryant McKinnie should play on one year deals the rest of his career….it’s the only way you’ll get any effort out of him.

Now we’re starting to see the side effects of Flacco’s over-paying contract.

He’s 35 and spends 9/12 months per year close to 400 lbs. He’s a ticking time bomb.
I hope he straightens himself out…somewhere else…

The man is simply saying He led your O line to a Super Bowl Championship last year. Cant blame him for wanting his money. It truly is a business.

So the ravens bail this dude out when he takes out a huge interest loan during the lockout, but he can’t help them out? It’s because he’s clearly a moron with his money so he needs to soak up every last penny while he can so that we can hear about his foreclosure a and tax liens in 5 years instead of two.

Continue morons with the flacco was paid too much crap. Again he counts $6.8 million against the cap This year 14 million against it next Year and a 20 million in three years from now when the cap Will go up. He will then renegotiate his salary and not count much against the cap. people are freaking idiots morons I hate you all

last year the ravens lost ben grubbs tom zibikowski haruki nakamura and jarrett johnson and corey redding. how did that work out. right…superbowl champs. you all do realize when a team loses a player that get to replace a player. and we have more money. trust me folks….ravens know what they are doing

the ravens look like they’re a mess. boldin getting traded. other player shooting their mouths off. but ozzie newsome should be trusted. he makes the right moves. at the end of the day, they have a SB winning, franchise QB in flacco. ozzie thinks flacco has arrived and will remain elite. he is probably right. worst case is they lose guys, manage thru their financial issues and re-build around flacco. it isn’t the perfect scenario by any means, but if anyone can do it, ozzie can. i wouldn’t throw dirt on the ravens just yet…

When McKinnie gets a fat contract so he no longer has financial motivation to do well, he gets fat(ter) and practices and plays with little effort. The Vikes found out the hard way and I don’t think another GM would make the same mistake.

Way to go Ravens! Fall apart! That’s the last Super Bowl you will see for another 12 years. You will always be 2nd to the Steelers. We’ll win another 2 Super Bowls before you get back. Flacco will go back to being The inconsistent QB he always was, being WAY overpaid!

You mean Ravens arent going to overpay for a tackle who was out of shape to begin the season and has serious financial distractions. Crazy move by the GM.

How many active QBs have more rings than Flacco again? 3. If you aren’t a Patriots, Steelers, or Giants fan, worry about your own team first.

Oh McKinnie, how long before Charlie Sheen buys your super bowl ring in an online auction?

He thinks he is a maserati…hah. more like an 80′s pickup…insurance shouldn’t be too much for that.

Do people think the Ravens are clearing cap space for nothing? Lmao…get ready to see some amazing upgrades. Got a feeling the Ravens get some prime age talent in place of these older players. If these dudes dont wanna play for the World Champions at a discount im sure there are plenty of dudes that do. PS-Welker is still available and would fit lovely on the Ravens.

Its so funny the comments by non-Ravens supporters that dont realize in the end the Ravens always win lol

You have to love the Steelers fans. Release James Harrison because of salary cap and it’s deemed ok. Ravens effectively release Q because of salary concerns and it’s the end of the world for the Ravens. And the Flacco contract talk……please tell me how the next three years of cap friendly numbers are damaging the club. If I was a Steelers fan I’d be worried about the money your front office is moving down the road with all the contract restructuring you’ve got going on. It’s much better to cut ties with the player than prolong the inevitable and take the cap hit as well.

the ravens brought a sportscar (flacco) and now they want to put regular “speedway gastation” gas in it

No lewis, no boldin, no matt birk, probably no mckinnie, likewise with kruger and reed. Theyre practically already down at LEAST 6 (even more if they lose ellerbe) starters from their playoff run…that includes their overpaid QBs favorite target, and their two most valuable defensive players…

But im sure ravenator will say she wouldnt have it any other way.

The NFL knows your track record dude. Whatever GM hands you a big pay day will be out of work sooner than later.

On another note, it is safe to say we won’t see him in any shade of purple next season.

Everyone on the Ravens should ask for more money. If Average Joe can, why not?

Show him how stupid he is for wanting that much of the cap space.
