Would we cut Suggs to keep Kruger?

Not that anybody cares, and Florio DOES wait until the final curtain to deliver, but he says, "The possibility of cutting Suggs remains very highly unlikely. But it’s definitely a subject of speculation in league circles, even if it doesn’t happen."

Which segues into my second comment -- it seems as if many folks look at the Ravens, or ANY team's, CAP situation with just a tad bit of myopia. This guy named Ozzie Newsome and his staff get paid the big bucks to look at things from the 50,000 foot level as well as on the ground. Obviously Suggs' contract is a significant element of the overall team salary/CAP picture, but assessing it in a few "dire consequences" paragraphs (ex. - "In the postseason, Suggs had two sacks against the Broncos, but none in three other playoff appearances." Well, shit! Cut the bastard, and sign the flavor du off-season!") is just what it is - media types looking to fill some column space. Not saying Suggs is immune from the axe, but if someone has his jersey, I wouldn't dump it just yet.

I don't know why people think it is such an outlandish idea. Releasing Suggs and keeping Kruger does not mean Kruger is > than Suggs. However, Suggs' best days are behind him, Krugers' best days are ahead. Not that I think Kruger would ever be as good as Suggs.

When asked about cutting Suggs, Joe Flacco replied "that's retarded."

**Ravenswintitle** · 02-09-2013, 09:36 PM

Enough with the chiding

LOL. This made me chuckle.

**ballhawk** · 02-09-2013, 09:59 PM

Lol@Florio.

Kruger lost his starting job early in the season and didn't even start coming into his own until Suggs got back on the field. I like Kruger, but he is a SITUATIONAL player. Suggs is a CORNERSTONE player. Kruger is as good as gone. I'd love to see him back next year but that's what happens when you have an organization that drafts so well. Can't keep em all.

People that don't think this is crazy know nothing about football.

The problem is...Suggs isn't as good as Suggs. Not any more. And his cap hit is off the charts. But people get attached to certain players, even if those players only exist in some historical past. S'way it goes. So to not address the reality of how that all impacts the team is what's stupid. Talking about ways to at least try to minimize the impact of that is not stupid at all.

**ballhawk** · 02-09-2013, 10:19 PM

Suggs is one year removed from DPOY for goodness sakes! He just came back from an achillies injury faster than anybody in the history of professional sports has. He will be back to his dominant self come September.

Lol I don't even like Suggs I'm just smart enough to realize how much we need him. He had a torn achilles tendon and a torn bicep both injuries should have knocked him out for the season and he played thru both and helped the team. He didn't have the sacks but he was still very good playing against the run. Sacks are coming back this year.

guy was dpoy last year. would have mirrored his production this year if not for TWO injuries that should have kept him out all year instead of just some of it. Suggs isn't as good as Suggs, pfffffft.

Wow. And to think that Rodgers' cap hit is $10M, and Suggs' cap hit is $13M. What a bargain for Suggs.

smh

If that is true cuz i dont care enough to look it up that would be because Aaron Rodgers signed the extension in green Bay with only one decent season as a starter under his belt. Suggs was in his prime and one of the best olb in the game(still is). Do you not understand how contracts work? Some players are worth keeping thru there prime even tho there expensive. Ngata, rice, Lewis, Reed. These are all examples of players that get expensive during their prime. That doesn't mean you cut them.
