    You don't need an opine when you have no WRs. Line up all the RBs with the option for Cam to run it too. What a mess. It will be funny if Gettleman's plans fall apart. Wonder if Nicks was part of it and he jumped the fun dumping Smitty before he had his replacement.

    Oher fucking sucks. Collins would have helped greatly but Gettleman decided it would be better to let him go erase Hardy twice a year while saving a couple million bucks.

    I hope Smitty has a great year. My cousin has Ravens season tickets, big fan. I guess we're gonna be talking soon.

    I overlooked the fact that they also re-signed Jacoby Jones. They're quietly loading up on offense.

    But, but,but, we are so much YOUNGER without him. Younger is better, right?

    Walterfootball.com on Smitty signing...

    Ravens sign WR Steve Smith (3 years, $11M; $3.5M guaranteed):

    Ozzie Newsome is one of the top NFL general managers, but he's only human. He's made draft selections that haven't worked out, and he's signed some free agents who have disappointed. This looks to be Newsome's worst transaction ever.

    It's mind-boggling that Steve Smith received a $3.5 million signing bonus and an $11 million deal. Smith doesn't deserve any sort of signing bonus based on the way he played last year, and to be honest, I was expecting him to sign a 1-year contract for the veteran minimum.

    Smith is done. He has lost his elite speed. He failed to register more than 69 yards in a single game this past season. He's no longer a starting-caliber receiver. He's also a potential locker room distraction. This signing makes zero sense. The only possible reason for bringing Smith in is to energize the team and fan base following a mediocre 2013 campaign, and that doesn't even come close to justifying this sort of contract for a has-been.
