I would say no state income tax would be pretty appealing in Florida. Dont understand pivoting to Carolina though if that was the case.Quote:

Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens.
Kinda feels like the Ravens are playing chess and most of the league is playing checkers
Then why make a deal for Crosby? That was a huge overpayQuote:

They backed out of the Crosby deal conveniently after most teams blew their wads on free agents. Now Crosby is stuck in Las Vegas and the Ravens signed the best DE on the market.Quote:

The remaining LB options at the moment look pretty thin…
The Patriots just released Anfernee Jennings. He’s still fairly young, good blitzer, played well for Belichek but didn’t fit Vrabel’s defense.
Bobby Wagner is still out there. Played well enough last year, good mentor, but at his age it could all go away quickly.
Bobby Okereke can’t really plug up the middle, but he can chase sideline to sideline, was a three-year captain for the Giants, and their nominee for Walter Payton Manof the Year this year.
After that, you get into Akeem Davis-Gaither territory. The Bengals need to move on somebody, preferably today.
I've got a suspicion that Hendrickson is about to fall off the map in terms of production. Or maybe that's just my wishful thinking that the Ravens get stuck with a massive, bad contract.Quote:

I've not seen a report or rumor that the Bengals are even remotely interested in Crosby. My guess is he ends up in Dallas
Trey is a great player but pretty one dimensional, he's terrible against the run. I'd almost say he's a liability unless you're playing with a lead all the time.
I'd rather him on the Ravens than Crosby honestly.
I guess the counter-point would be that the Ravens have blown some crazy leads the last few years. Getting a closer like Trey will help with that.Quote:

A lot of people don't see it that wayQuote:
