Ravens Linebacker Dannell Ellerbee to the Dolphins (mergerama) (1 Viewer)

[sacrosaint]

From Rotoworld... "It's a terrible loss for the Ravens, who wanted badly to re-sign Ellerbe as the heir to Ray Lewis. It's uncertain where Ellerbe will play in Miami, but one guess is the strong-side spot since he can't cover a lick. Kevin Burnett is 30 years old, and the Dolphins can save over $3 million by releasing him. Weak-side linebacker Koa Misi is in the final year of his rookie deal, and that's another option for Ellerbe."

Looks like he signed a 5 year 35 millon dollar contract

Jason La Canfora &#8207;<s>@</s>JasonLaCanfora LB Dannell Ellerbe leaves the Super Bowl champs for a deal he could not refuse in Miami - 5yrs, $35M. Ravens very thin at LB now

they overpaid for him and I'm calling it that Ravens draft Manti Te'o should he be on board

I look for the Ravens to be after Kevin Minter if he gets past the Texans at 27.

Good to see MIA getting some work done to improve that roster... Got tired of watching the pats run thru the AFC East with little resistance.

 

[slaym]

yet we havent made no moves

We can't because we decided to keep Will Smith.

I'm really not that upset that Saints aren't spending money on anyone in this FA class. Everyone, except Mike Wallace, is getting severly overpaid

Overpaid their QB in Baltimore last week. Defense coming apart this week.

Flacco's cap hit is only $6.8 million and the Ravens could have kept more of their FAs if they wanted to. However, Ozzie Newsome just doesn't believe in overpaying players.

Which is exactly what MIA is doing. 13 mill/yr for Wallace and now Ellerbee... Overcompensating for their miserable 2012 offseason.

Now THEY are winning the offseason!
