Pitta signs 5 year Deal...Cross off Monroe

[nyfinzfan]

Franchise Tag at the least for Monroe...

With the Raven's cap problems can they really afford to keep Monroe on the franchise tag?

Wow.... Monroe come on down!

I'm assuming this means Ravens will target a OT in the draft most likely Martin or trade up for Lewan.

Crap :-(

With the increase to the cap and the release of Leach and McClain, they have $25 million in salary cap space. So yes, tagging Monroe would be easy.

I would be shocked if the Ravens lost Monroe with the picks, albeit late, for him.

Yup, on second though this.

Cap bump will allow Ravens to deal with both.

Talk about some bull****.

Teams are in cap hell, now get the NFL bailout plan.

Yup, as this article states...and as we kinda thought in the other thread yesterday he is basically off the market.

Ah... apparently I'm a little behind the times.

They have other free agents -- Oher, Daryl Smith, etc -- in addition to Monroe, but if need be the franchise tag would seem to be in play.

I never really thought we would have a chance at him any way. I guess Albert will be that much more expensive now.

Monroe was never coming

I may be wrong but, still don't see Monroe being tagged, although they may well sign him.

Monroe will not get tagged, he is not a pro-bowl player...and although they gave up a 4th and 5th rounder for him it would be too high of a price tag for a sightly above average OT.

Baltimore can eat a fat one. **** that organization.

IMO, Monroe is a top ten LT, with the ability to run block as well as pass protect, and I would love to have him over what is available. If not, I take Collins over Albert.
