Bryant McKinnie tweeted today that he’s done in Baltimore. “Decision is made! I’m gone!” McKinnie tweeted. Then, as Deadspin points out, the Baltimore Ravens official Twitter account ignited the fire by retweeting McKinnie’s comments.
Decision is made! I’m gone!

Here’s what’s going down. According to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun, “the Ravens are attempting to restructure Bryant McKinnie’s contract” and the “situation could lead to his release.” McKinnie is due $3.2 million this season, but isn’t willing to accept a 50 percent pay cut.
Wilson says the Ravens and McKinnie are continuing to work on a new deal, potentially one that is more incentives based. Cutting McKinnie would free up $2.2 million in salary cap space and leave a nice gaping hole on the offensive line.
Update: Turns out the Twitter strategy worked. McKinnie and the Ravens have agreed on a new deal.
I wonder if any local media ass kissers (WNST) will have anything to say about the Ravens using Twitter its part of their negotiations with a player?
Sounds Bush League to me, but you’ll never hear the Lil Naty fella say so.
My God you’re a moron
Thanks for keeping us informed about MGW’s character. What thee say about Spy, 9inchnails, Ol Bruz, Chowman and The Intimidator? I hope you have time for these assessments in between taking your meds in the psych ward and pleasuring yourself. By the way, your sister left her underwear in the back of The Intimidator’s Camaro….
Your God….? Is his name Satan or Manson?
Thank you for your assesment TRC. It truly means a lot coming from a guy like you.
Remember the last person besides Mike Mussina and Kelly Gruber’s dad’s ass you were going to kick ended up being a 23 yr old pregnant lady. I think TCR69 might be a woman…judging from his tone.
Michael Jackson was guilty! 🙂
As I recall, Nails, you were going to help me kick that Navy commander’s ass UNTIL we discovered it was a woman.
TRC74 is obviously Nestor’s love interest. He should defend his man, that’s why I’m not going to fight with him.
Im a Renaissance Man, tolerant of all race, creeds, and in the case of TRC62, sexual preference. To each his own. Live and let live.
*Nasty
Dude came in out of shape, made excuses and missed camp. It’s been his MO for for the past few years here and Minnesota. His job is to train and play hard 365 days a year.
As for the twitter battle, not sure its the proper way to do it 10 years ago, but this is the day we live in. You see athletes blowing people or their employers up all the time through twitter, so maybe its good that the Ravens were proactive about it.
Bryant is one of the last guys in the Harbaugh doghouse , to quote the intimidator , ‘this assclown has ruined this team’,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,actually I can’t believe the Ravens treat a player they need like this , I know he came in out of shape but once you get in the doghouse you are always in the doghouse , Bryant knew this , I still don’t like the Ravens playing with an already weak O-line,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I just think they are mad at themselves and Ozzie for the overpaid Bryant , whose fault is that ?…………………
exactly , Joe could have gotten hurt because of Harbaugh’s doghouse , I’m sick of it
Wel……look,,,,,,what the,,,,,,,,cat……drug,,,,,,,,in
