Their loaded on offense, but they have no corners....they will be in barn burners all year.

At least the Ravens wont be relying on him to start, so its not much of a risk.

Man I wish the Phins would've signed him for so cheap

Christ, on paper, their offense is ridiculous. Not just extremely talented at every position, but deep. Even if they have no corners, the rest of their defense is darn good. Its going to be hard for anyone to beat them.

Good pickup for Baltimore, but I thought Minnesota would have made a stronger push for him.

That would've made a lot of sense. I can't imagine at that price that any team would not have wanted this guy. He used to be a poor man's #1 just a few years back. Now you can get him for #4 dollars. I'm wondering if him landing with the Ravens is more of where he wanted to be and not who wanted him. Maybe he wants some payback against the Bengals.

Who knows? I just can't believe Minnesota didn't make a stronger push for this guy. They targeted him as an FA when he left the Bengals. No Sidney Rice, Harvin has his migraine issues, Camarillo is... well, he's Greg Camarillo. Housh would have been a major upgrade to a depleted WR unit.
