Exactly what I told you was going to happen happened. The other Ravens homer swooped in and stole him from me. It's all good though, I got Tucker.

I thought he would get a lot more too. Depending on how much Monroe gets, I feel like keeping Art could have been a realistic possibility. Oh well I guess.

But then again, keeping Art would mean that Brandon Williams wouldn't play, and if the coaching staff believes he'll be just as good if not better, then it could be the right decision to let Art walk.

If we get Monroe for less than Saffold, I'm going to laugh.

I think we're going to pay him a bit more, 5 year deal worth $45m is my guess.
