More Bad News
Jamal Lewis signs with Cleveland.
Now, this is not bad news in and of itself. It is probably best that the Ravens moved forth from Lewis and look towards another running back. The problem is that there is no obvious solution to the vacancy as a starter. On the roster, we have:
Should the Ravens see what options are available for trading up in the draft? I think it is a possibility, if a runner like Adrian Peterson or even Marshawn Lynch were available.
This off-season keeps getting more and more curious. But, to be fair, I'm not sure we should have a reason to doubt Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens front office folks at the present time.

- Mike Anderson (who carried the ball sparingly in 2006, but has starter experience)
- Musa Smith (who I have never been enamored with)
- P.J. Daniels (who didn't sniff the field this year)

The Ravens are in cap hell. That said, why risk a cap busting free agent signing when you have Mike Anderson on the roster. Granted, it's not ideal, but there are too many other holes to fill. Anderson scored 12 TD's in last season in Denver. This season, he averaged 4.7 yards a carry behind the same line Jamal struggled against.
Due to the cap situation, the Ravens can't afford to move up in the draft. Still, instead of an expensive signing to get a second rate back like McGahee, I say they should find someone in the 2nd or 3rd round to complement Anderson.
Not matter what, I hope they don't spread Mulitalo's cap hit into next year to sign McGahee after a trade. I'd rather take the complete hit now and start fresh next season.
I think it is global warmings fault.
