All I've heard recently is that the Ravens can't afford to lose Ray Lewis. He is the Raven's most valuable player, no doubt. What if Ray Lewis suited up for the Jets or Cowboys next season? Sure, either of those teams would improve instantly. But would the Ravens suddenly become a team that falls out of playoff contention?
The key for the Ravens, if they cannot scrounge up $13 million+ to sign Ray Lewis, is that they need to take advantage of the money not spent on Lewis. Anquan Boldin is a perfect example of a player the Ravens should acquire with that extra cash. The Ravens have always lacked a tall, standout wide reciever. In addition to signing Boldin and giving Flacco guys to develop with, the Ravens should seriously consider signing a solid cornerback if they don't draft one.
At this point in the offseason, it's hard to predict what's going to happen but the Ravens must make some moves if they want any chance at winning a Super Bowl.
The Terps surprised me this past weekend by winning on the road for the first time this year. Beating Georgia Tech is nothing to gloat about but a 4-5 record is commendable considering how poorly this team has been playing recently. Let's not forget that the Terps lost by a combined total of 5 points at Miami and Florida State. The Terps could theoretically be sitting at 6-3 if they pulled those two games out. That's just how it's been going for almost every team in the ACC this year. Most teams have had multiple frustrating losses.
Last year around this date, the Terps were 6-3 in the ACC and looking like an NCAA tourney team. Of course we all know that they collapsed down the stretch and limped into the NIT. Unfortunately, I don't forsee a reversal of fortune for the Terps this year. With games against Duke, UNC, Clemson, and Wake Forest left to be played, it looks like another NIT year.
