The Ravens made their first big free agent move of the offseason and boy is it a good one. Ozzie Newsome and Baltimore locked up Vonta Leach to a 3 year, $11 million deal on Sunday. Leach was viewed as the top free agent full back and as we mentioned last week, is a true fullback compared to the hybrid Baltimore previously had in Le’Ron McClain.
Leach was a Pro Bowler last season due to the success he created up front for the Texans running back Arian Foster. Aaron Wilson reports that Leach will receive a $4 million signing bonus and $6 million guaranteed. I give this move a solid two thumbs up.
You cannot tell me that this isn’t Harbaugh getting rid of one of his “mouthy, controversial, talks out about the Ravens coaches” players and that’s McClain. You could have kept McClain for less money than Leach.
Again, if Harbaugh doesn’t like you talking about him then you are gone…
If they weren’t going to keep McClain then I like the Leach signing but there’s more to it.
I see an 8-8 season here folks… Hope not cause football is my game and I’m Ravens all the way but I call it as I see it.
Oh Boy….. it goes round and round and round.
Friday night, I will treat you to G&M if you go to the game with us? I’ll even buy your ticket.
You on?
8-8, are you nuts? As bad a coach Harbaugh is, we can win 10 on the schedule alone.
Just what the ravens need, a full back. How about a decent pass rusher? How a putting some “Stop Leak” in the secondary?
@Sadler – Wow… Appreciate the invite… Dinner and a game… It’s tempting… A man-date… It involves the O’s…. So I don’t know… I will let you know… But to let you know… Its about 30/70 that I go to the game…
Ravens2488 is correct,,,,,,Harbaugh is getting rid of the bad boys , does he realize that means getting rid of the boys who can really bring it ……..once in the doghouse and sooner or later you are gone , I see a fair record due to the schedule but no way do we get past the Steelers , they look at the Ravens as a practice game now , Heap was usually a good performer against them , lord knows Mason and Bouldin disappeared last year in the playoffs against them.( ones catch between them)…it was joke time…….
