Ravens are cleaning house. Mason, Heap, and McGahee cut.
Word here is they are signing UH WR Rodney Bradley and SS Mana Silva as FAs. Bradley was very good before getting hurt. Very good football speed. Good hands. Not sure he's ready to make an opening day roster.
Silva is a ballhawk. Good football player. I think he's a long shot to make the team too.
Personally, I believe the Ravens will re-sign Heap and Mason at reduced salaries. Mason can still play, even at 37 years old. He can still be effective as a slot receiver and the Ravens are primed to compete this year for a superbowl. He still has excellent body control and he's one of the best at making the sideline toe-tapping catch in bounds.
Heap can definitely still play but he's always been injury-prone his entire career. If he doesn't come back, it will be strange not to go to a Ravens home game and no longer hear the HEEEEEEEEEEEAP when he makes a catch.
Mcgahee....smell you later bro. You make way too much $ as a backup and Rice is in line for a big extension next offseason. He will definitely compete for a starting job with another team, for sure. He's still a stud with a great nose for the endzone. Probably has the best stiff arm in the NFL. The guy scored 14 total touchdowns in 2009.
I'm hopeful the can find a way to keep DT Kelly Gregg. He's an unsung hero and still an effective player.
