Suggs Out For Season?

"The Ravens are still fuming over Browns quarterback Brady Quinn's hit on Ravens linebacker/defensive end Terrell Suggs during the Ravens' 16-0 win on Monday night -- a hit that could cost Suggs significant playing time. Quinn threw a chop block at Suggs after an interception in the third quarter, rolling into his right knee. The Carroll County Times reported Wednesday that Suggs has a slight tear of his MCL. But his agent, Gary Wichard, fears Suggs could miss the rest of the season. Suggs was initially diagnosed with a sprained knee.

"You just don't do that," San Diego Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips told ESPN's First Take on Wednesday, saying Quinn should be fined $50,000 (ESPN)."

The Ravens have every right to be upset about this. If this was done to a QB the player would be thrown under the bus. It will be interesting to see if the NFL does anything, but from the sound of it the damage might have already been done with Suggs being out for the season. Overall I don't think it matters the Ravens are frauds. Their defense isn't what it used to be and their offense isn't good enough to compensate.

Terrell Suggs Agrees To Extension

Terrell Suggs, who never minded playing under one-year franchise tags, found the financial security he was looking for Wednesday when he agreed to a six-year, $63 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source. ESPN

He is certainly worth it. He not only is one of the most terrifying linebackers in the league, but one of the best. He has 53 sacks, and has been the other anchor to the ridiculous Ravens linebacking corp. As long as the Ravens have Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs, they will contend with being the top defense in the NFL.

Ravens Franchise Suggs

"The Baltimore Ravens slapped the exclusive rights franchise tag on hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker Terrell Suggs Wednesday. This is the second consecutive year the Ravens have designated Suggs as the team's franchise player (ESPN)."

The Ravens want to sign Suggs long term, but this at least buys them some time to do so, while not allowing other teams to go after him. Things are getting very interesting in Baltimore, because if the Ravens can't strike a deal with Ray Lewis then he will be able to test the market. There will be a lot of teams out there that will likely overpay to get Lewis. It would be really odd to see Lewis in any other uniform then the Ravens.

Suggs will make $10.2 million for one year if a long term deal cannot be reached before the start of the season.

Terrell Suggs Mispoke about "Bounty" Comment

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs says he "misspoke" when he used the word "bounty" in a radio interview about the Ravens' defense targeting members of the Pittsburgh Steelers during their Week 4 game. ESPN

What he meant to say was, "We don't just have a bounty on Hines Ward, we have one including his family. Me, Ray, Ed Reed, Bart Scott and C Mac all threw in a million dollars into a pot and whoever rips off Hines Wards arm or can hear the slow crackling of a broken bone wins."

"Bounty" On Hines Ward

Terrell Suggs' suggestion that the Baltimore Ravens had a "bounty" on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward and running back Rashard Mendenhall has gotten the attention of the NFL.
During the "2 Live Stews" syndicated radio show on Oct. 17, when he was asked, "Did you all put a bounty out on that young man [Mendenhall]," Suggs replied, "Definitely. The bounty was out on him and the bounty was out on [Ward] -- we just didn't get him between the whistles."

Listen Terrell Suggs, I am terrified of you and your defense and you did kill Rashard Mendenhall in the game, but you overlooked one thing. Hines Ward has a bounty out on you, just like he did to your boy Ed Reed.

and Bart Scott


You're next.

Call Hines what you want, but he is the best WR ever on the Pittsburgh Steelers (which includes John Stallworth and Lynn Swann who are both Hall of Famers) and he might be the most underrated WR in the league. He is willing to do the dirty work and you rarely see that with your big name wide receivers in the league and every team would love to have this guy on their team.
