By taking another one of our ex- tackles. Gaither goes down, take McKinnie. gaither's a bum anyway.

Per rotoworld


LT Bryant McKinnie says he could be released following a contract squabble with the Ravens.
The Ravens want to reduce McKinnie's $3.2 million base salary. While he's open to a paycut, the two sides haven't been able to come to terms yet. McKinnie's camp is still trying to work out a deal, but it sounds like a dead end. He knows that tackle-hungry teams such as the Cardinals, Jets and Chargers would probably end up bidding for his services. The Ravens would be forced to flip Michael Oher back to left tackle, where he has previously struggled.

damn I hope we get him. (chargers fan)

Sports radio around here is already reporting McKinnie has texted them "it's done, no longer a Baltimore raven"

Not sure if it's 100% but sounds like it


For us, oher to LT which is a HUGE downgrade IMO and osemelle to RT with Bobbie Williams at LG.

Bookmark to point out to those in the player holdout threads who claim that NFL teams don't seek to renegotiate contracts down.

Better start to have Jamarcus Russell fall on Rivers so he knows what it will feels like come gameday and McKinney.

I never thought I'd hear I hope we can land a fat lazy unmotivated guy who thinks playing flirt tennis with Serena Williams is a work out to guard my franchise QB's blindside. 400 pounds of pure athleticism.

he's better than what we got now. and gaither is roughly the same as far as I can tell, fat lazy and unmotivated. he's hurt anyways, pretty sure we have some undrafted free agent rookie in the right now.

Who says that? Teams can punt guys or threaten to punt them if they underperform to renegotiate. Often those ridiculous contracts are put out there with everyone knowing the last year or two will never be seen.

Players can holdout but let's face it, they usually have zero leverage. As always, life remains unfair.

May be going to he11 in a bucket, but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

If the ravens let him walk over a mill or two. It says numbers about his play.

_________________

shoot, at least he's played an NFL game before. the raiders D line is gonna feast on rivers this week unless this Mike Harris guy steps up. Who knows, maybe he will.

its like my dodgers' situation with James Loney, I dont give a crap what we gotta do to get him outta there or how much it costs...do it...pay it.

I'm sorry, I'll take McKinnie over UDFA Harris any day. He might be whining about his contract, but get him paid and he'll be a great stop gap for our Gaither problem. Little by little, let's just take the Ravens whole O-line



Sadly that's the state of pro sports these days. Most of these guys act like whiny little girls if they don't get paid like they want. Doesn't necessarily say anything about their play, more about their crappy work ethic.

As of an hour ago

Well, the Ravens squabble is that they wanted to pay him less than $3.2 million.

He made roster, so if they release them, he still has to go through waivers.


If they think he's worth $3.2 million, the Cardinals would have a crack at him sooner than the Chargers.


That said, he hasn't been released yet......

you don't want his can of worms it only leads to heart break. He is entirely an idiot of epic proportions. Its better to take the hit.

Correct me if Im wrong here, but he would be the starting LT right. admittedly they say if they cut him , his replacment is a downgrade.


really? Whats the freaking problem baltimore, the guy who protects your qbs blindside isnt worth 3 million?


same team that wont take any money away from suggs for missing 10+ games this season.
