Adam Schefter of the NFL network is reporting that the Ravens will be putting the Franchise Tag on OLB/DE Terrell Suggs . League rules state this his salary would then be the average of the top-five players in his position. This leads to some interesting maneuvering from the front office. With three of the top five and six of the top 20 highest-paid players (including bonuses) being defensive ends, it makes sense to save the $814,000 by applying the LB tag. Here are the salary breakdowns: DE : Julius Peppers, Jason Taylor, Justin Smith, Jevon Kearse and Michael Strahan make up the elite 5 in the DE category, with a franchise salary of $8,879,000 . LB : Ray Lewis, Zach Thomas, Keith Brooking, Keith Bulluck and Nick Barnett make up the highest paid quintet in the LB category, with a franchise salary of $8,065,000 .

Terrell Suggs admitted to reporters earlier this week that the Ravens have “a bounty” on Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward. Â This type of thuggery is illegal in the NFL, and surely disciplinary action will be taken by the NFL. Suggs said he and the rest of the Ravens think that Ward is just ‘too good’, and that it’s ‘not fair’ that Ward catches so many balls when they don’t want him to. Â As a result they are scheming to injure him. Â ”What... more

Steelers WR Hines Ward said he’s not worried about reports that Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs claimed the Ravens put a “bounty” on Ward the way they did on halfback Rashard Mendenhall, who was knocked out for the season with a fractured shoulder by Baltimore’s Ray Lewis. Â As for Ward, Suggs said, “Hines Ward is definitely a dirty player, a cheap shot artist.” “If he chooses to say that, so be it,” Tomlin said. “We respect... more

Dry Humped: Apparently Garrett was never given a contract offer

In baseball, when a relief pitcher gets a call from the dugout to warm up but isn’t inserted into the game, he claims that he was dry humped by the manager. Sound familiar? I don’t know about you, but I spent nearly all day refreshing my browser at a combination of the Baltimore Sun , Ravens Insider and Extreme Ravens sites hoping to hear more about the pending hire. As it turns out, we were all dry humped. Teased with the information we had learned about Jason Garrett... more

Talk about a slap in the face: reports out of Baltimore are that Jason Garrett is on his way back to Dallas and has plans to “continue to talk” with the Ravens front office. Repeat: there is no deal… yet. We went from done deal to stalled attempt in a matter of mere hours. From the WNST Blogs : Jason Garrett is 20 feet to my right, addressing the media. He’s getting ready to head to the airport. No one is quite sure where he’s going. Back to Dallas? ... more

The coaching carousel can come to screeching halt today . Jason Garrett, the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator, walked into the Castle, shook some hands and will duplicate keys to the Castle at Home Depot — provided Jerry Jones lets him. Reports out of Baltimore state that the Ravens have officially offered the vacant head coaching position to Garrett . The long - and at times, boring - coaching search could be finally over. Again, provided that Jerry Jones puts down his 20oz b... more

Princeton grad and Dallas Cowboys OC Jason Garrett is in town for a second interview at the Castle. The Baltimore Sun reports that a source close to the organization said that Garrett could be named the third coach in franchise history as early as Today. The same source said that the Ravens are ready to interview another candidate - most likely John Harbaugh (secondary coach, Philadelphia Eagles) as a fail-safe just in case the interview with Garrett doesn’t go as planned. ... more
