26CornerBlitz Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) @RapSheet It's pretty rare for a starting caliber LT to be available in June. A now-healthy Eugene Monroe gives the #Ravens that luxury. A move coming @RapSheet Expectation is that #Ravens OT Eugene Monroe won't be on the team by the end of Thurs. Could even be traded or released by the end of today Edited July 21, 2016 by 26CornerBlitz
ALF Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) March , 2014, he re-signed with the Ravens on a five-year, $37.5M deal. Looks like about $6.7M the next 3 years http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/eugene-monroe/ I would try to re-sign Gilmore and save some cap if Tyrod turns out to be a good starter. It's all about cap space for now. Edited June 15, 2016 by ALF
thebandit27 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 He's signed for high-end RT/low-end LT money right now, so I'd entertain the idea provided that they can get out of the deal in a year or two if a cap crunch occurred
John from Riverside Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 This is the type of OL that we hoped would come available but Can we afford him?
White Linen Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 The Ravens are so much smarter than us - that we should look to stay away and do the opposite of our impulse. They would never hire Rex Ryan.
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 The Ravens are so much smarter than us - that we should look to stay away and do the opposite of our impulse. They would never hire Rex Ryan. Haha. I hate that this is kinda true. We should send the Ravens a card for developing Tyrod for us. If we drafted him, he probably won't be on the team anymore.
NoSaint Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 He's signed for high-end RT/low-end LT money right now, so I'd entertain the idea provided that they can get out of the deal in a year or two if a cap crunch occurred without looking.... id venture the ravens would be on the hook for nearly all the dead money at this point. and within a year or two if there is any guaranteed $$ left, id be shocked.

Saint Doug Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I'm confused. Why is this guy suddenly becoming available?

Maury Ballstein Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 What's this about ? Is this about Monroe heading the pro marijuana for NFL players thing ?

Oh for sure--I posted that to confirm your suspicions
P51 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/eugene-monroe/ Looks like his new team would get him at base salaries of $6.5M, $6.75M, and $6.75M for the next three seasons if they didn't touch his contract. And he could be cut at any time with no cap penalties by a new team. Looks like Buffalo has about 11-12 million in cap space, they could easily send a late pick to Baltimore and secure him for a year and see if he works out at RT. Minimal risk, he's been injury prone the last couple years, but could be the solution at RT. If they cut him, he could be signed for cheaper likely, but would he come to Buffalo? I'd send a late round pick for him myself, worth the risk and you know the Doc would clear him...
thebandit27 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I'm confused. Why is this guy suddenly becoming available? They drafted Ronnie Stanley in the top 10 and want to get younger along the OL. They also have Ricky Wagner and James Hurst, in whom they've shown confidence

High end RT is one of those strange positions in terms of value.
thebandit27 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Any price you feel is too high? High end RT is one of those strange positions in terms of value. I think Monroe is basically as high as I'd go for a RT. The team showed last year that they can run the ball effectively with what amounted to patchwork on the right edge. Obviously I'd prefer to have a good pass protector like Monroe over there, but yeah, he's basically pushing the limit of what I'd pay.
That's No Moon Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 If we have the cap space to do this and the Ravens are really going to release him there is no reason not to send them a low draft pick to prevent them from releasing him to the market where he can sign with New England for 50 cents a year.
