Great work as usual Brian. With all the Osi rumors going around, do you think if the Ravens signed Haloti and freed up enough room to get Osi, and gave up the 2nd rounder, do you think they’d cut JJ? If they did, what would be the implications?

With JJ at around 5.2mil on the cap in the final year of his contract I can’t imagine them keeping him if they got Osi, especially knowing Sergio’s there too.

I’m not even a huge fan of the Osi idea but wanted to hear your thoughts on the cap implications.
