QuoteBisciotti: Uncapped season won't hamper us

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said today the impending move to an uncapped season should not cripple his team or its ability to improve in 2010.

"The roster is going to stay pretty much intact," Bisciotti said during the team's season-ending news conference today in Owings Mills. "I don't see it hampering us in our ability to do things."

General manager Ozzie Newsome believes there will be a reasonable supply of good players available when teams make cuts, and noted his previous success in landing veterans like Derrick Mason, Trevor Pryce and Samari Rolle.

Newsome acknowledged one of his priorities is to improve the wide receiving position, and that "when it comes to trading any player [to improve the team], I'm open to it." He admitted, reluctantly it seemed, he was also open to trading his first-round pick if it filled the requirement of improving the team.

-- Ken Murray

Additionally, Bisciotti and coach John Harbaugh stressed the importance of having linebacker/defensive end Terrell Suggs in Baltimore through the offseason to improve his conditioning. "To me, it's vitally important that he's here," Harbaugh said.

The NFL is only objecting to shirts that are marketed or presented as an official Saints or NFL product, Caldwell said. Shirts that are black and gold and say "Who Dat" can be sold, he said, if they don't purport to be Saints gear and don't include the team logo.

One wonders how hardline they're going to be after the league cuts its own throat with the labour dispute.  After all, that sort of thing can be pretty damaging.  Baseball is now a retarded irrelevancy, while labour strife (and the New Jersey Devils, and the dilution of the talent pool by expanding into southern markets) pretty much ended hockey as a major spectator sport.

In total no brainer news, the Texans picked up the 3 year option on Schaub's contract. 

Kubiak has also been extended through 2012. 

Steve Slaton underwent some sort of surgery on his neck.  Something about removing a ruptured disc or some such thing.   It apparently went well, but there's a 4 to 6 month recovery period.

Edit:  They've also brought in a bunch of kickers to check out.  Heh.

So it is uncapped next year?  Ugh, they way they do it now works well enough.  Baseball sucks because there are teams like the yankees that buy everyone.   :yuk:

If they don't reach an agreement before March it is, IIRC.

QuoteSorry, ladies -- it looks like former Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller is off the market.

Boller and former Miss California Carrie Prejean got engaged Saturday in San Diego, according to E! News, which refers to the St. Louis Rams quarterback as an "NFL stud."

According to E! News, the 28-year-old Boller and 22-year-old Prejean began dating last July.

Boller appeared in seven games (four starts) for the Rams in 2009, finishing with three touchdowns and six interceptions.

The Canadian Football League's 2009 leader in sacks won't be bringing his pass rush to New England as defensive end Ricky Foley, formerly of the BC Lions, has agreed to join the Seattle Seahawks, according to The Sporting News.

Foley, who led the CFL with 12 sacks last season, is scheduled to become a free agent Monday. The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder was the fourth overall selection in the 2006 CFL draft and was drawing interest from a handful of NFL teams, including the Patriots.

Foley had 51 tackles to go with 12 sacks last season and is following in the footsteps of former Lions teammate Cameron Wake, who joined the Miami Dolphins last season and tallied 5 ½ sacks.

245 sounds really light.  Seems like he needs to put on ~20lbs.
