Ravens agree to 4 year deal with Mike Anderson (1 Viewer)

Does Musa Smith have any shot of being in contention for the RB1 spot in BALT.....he seems to be the forgotten man there.

But I think Smith's leg is now a permanent problem(that's just my opinion)

link to anything concrete? I'm curious about the guy, especially since I took him in the last round of WSL1.

no need to link, Smith was back on the active roster for one game before having to go on the IR again for lingering problems from an injury that happened a year ago. Not the best sign. They did make him a minimum tender, which means they have some hope for him, and that he should return to the Ravens - any team signing him would have to give up a 3rd rounder.

Lewis resigns with the Ravens. Anderson value just went down.

I don't think this signing precludes BAL from making any other deals, including re-signing Lewis.  They paid Taylor more last year to be a backup than they are paying Anderson per year in this deal.  This is a running team who needs depth at RB after losing their top 2 this offseason.  They are not done adding RBs, and I have a feeling that another one they add, whether it's a vet like Lewis or a rookie, will be the starter over Anderson.

Agreed. This has all the tell-tale signs of being a RBBC.

Nice call by both of you.Lewis IS an option for my FF teams in 06'. I like the Clayton, MAson, Heap parts. And if Anderson takes some of Jamals carries, maybe he won't need to come out after EVERY 8 yard carry.

Why would Mike Anderson owners be happy about this? He got backup RB money, and goes to a system that is far less generous to RB's. There's almost no way he's a top 10 RB this season in Baltimore.

Unless you're just happy that his value didn't vanish into thin air entirely....

Exactly. The guy is not a starter. Can you say, 'mentor?' I'm thinking that this guy is going to teach whomever the Ravens draft at RB. And I expect them to draft a RB high....

So they are trying to get him back, they still must believe that they will be the highest bidder when all is said and done, and signed Anderson for better leverage / insurance/depth.
