Aaron Wilson ‏@RavensInsider With Paul Kruger, the deal is very close. Again, very respectable $8 million per year

If we get him for 8 mil I'd be pretty pleased considering he was apparently going to be paid 10 mil.

I agree. 8 mil seems great. Maybe a lot guaranteed?

Paul Kruger - LB - Browns

Browns agreed to terms with OLB Paul Kruger on a five-year, $40 million contract.

It's a generous haul for a four-year veteran with just 15.5 career sacks, but probably not what Kruger had in mind before the start of free agency. Kruger will line up opposite OLB Jabaal Sheard in new DC Ray Horton's attacking 3-4 defense. Kruger's signing leaves Cliff Avril as the lone remaining pass-rushing jewel on the open market.

Whoever signs Avril is likely going to overpay now, don't you think? Glad we aren't left wondering if we can land the last big pass rusher...

Wow! Now that current Ravens got their Super Bowl win under their belts, seems like most of them are leaving town to cash in. Good for the division! Looks like Ellerbe just signed with Miami

Well scratch that, Ellerbe signs with Miami.

Josh Cribbs signs with the Cardinals.

Speculation is Kruger is the Sam backer.

Sheard is the Jack...for now...

BR can you explain? :laugh:

Don't ask S&L ;)


I figured Kruger would be the Sam. Really Sheard doesn't fit the Sam mold. And I believe Horton had said he will run some 4 man front with the jack with his hand in the ground. So obviously Sheard fits that

Saw Levitre signed with the Titans. That's a bummer.

Yes, I'm not saying they are going to roll through the year with ease. I'm just saying with what they still have and guessing based on Newsome's past choices he will make up for losing these players.

All of the higher profile guards are gone. Still think they will pursue Schwartz' brother.
