OG Keydrick Vincent
OG Rick DeMulling
WR David Boston

These players I have read are interested in playing for the Ravens.

Boston is in trouble with steroids and has always been a locker room problem and for another thing he really isn't that good anymore. hes gotten to heavy, too injury prone. used to be extremely overrated, until everyone realized that he sucks. i'd say sign only if hes willing to take no. 3 WR money. not top dollar.

Hold up now!!! Even with Boston and his problems... He is a HUGE upgrade to what we have had allllllll these years! if he is healthy, he cant be any worse then travis taylor or kevin johnson! and we forget he was one top reciever only 3 years ago!

if he can get his act together he can be a very good WR for us. I hope they sign him and ray can straighten him out.

Yea... Ray dont play that crap! If we get him then he DEFINITELY wont be doing none of that stuff he did in Arizona and Miami. He would take some pressure off some other players on Offense too which is really needed since our Defense might be the sickest in the league!

im against Boston. He really hasnt done anything since 2001 or something and he would take up a our final WR roster spot when it could be used on a first round rookie or another safer more dependable FA like Ike Hilliard. Boston is very high risk, but also high reward. just remember, he has to serve a 4 game suspension for steriod use this coming season since he was on IR last season.

Yeah, I don't want Boston here either. He's got to many issues. If we get another veteran it will have to be a team guy that can help the young guys develop.

About the guards:

Rick Demulling is a former Colt and started at LG for them the last 3 seasons. He's solid both in runblocking and pass protection. He's not huge (about 305 lbs) but gets the job done. He's the best OG left in FA.

Keydrick Vincent is a former Steeler whos started for them the last one and a half season. He's big (about 325 lbs) and better in the run game than the pass. Pretty similar in playing style to what we had last year with Bennie Anderson.

Keydrick Vincent would be a slight upgrade over Bennie Anderson. He filled in for the Steelers last year and played real well. It is hard to know whether he was a product of the other great lineman on the Pittsburgh line, but Oliver Ross who played next to him at RT is only a solid player and not one of the top strong side blockers in the league. Vincent's only real opportunity to get settled as a starter was last season and he did really well, so this might be the tip of the iceberg with him. He certainly won't take anything away from our run game.
