According to the team’s Twitter account, Director of Player Personnel Eric DeCosta isn’t going to seek out a general manager opportunity with another team.
As the Sun reported earlier in the year, majority partner Steve Biscotti has tabbed DeCosta as Ozzie Newsom’s eventual successor if he sticks around.
While Newsome’s indellible mark is on the team’s makeup, credit for success must go in part to DeCosta, who has been vital in the Ravens draft successes of Joe Flacco and Michael Oher in particular, picking up where current Eagles exec Phil Savage left off. Savage was an example of a hot young GM candidate the Ravens couldn’t keep at the Castle, as he ambitiously left to take the reins in Cleveland.
Ozzie Newsome is only 55 years old and has a competitive streak in him that assuredly wants to build another championship team, but for now it seems that DeCosta is fine to wait his turn, even though as NFL.com reported, at least three teams want him constructing their rosters.
Decosta must know something about Ozzie’s future plans. His retirement is probably closer than we think.
Not soon enough , Ozzie has kept this team from several super bowl appearances due to the lack of real talent,,,,,,,,,,,,just watch the playoff games and you will see what real receivers look like and you will see what real offensive lineman and corners look like ………..
Right on spy , Ozzie has let this team down big time , his second round choices have been losers except for a precious few. He has been retired for six years but forgot to tell anyone.
