How much is Ben worth?

I think Deebo will either play here or nowhere. His family is here and in nearby Akron and he turned down offers to play in other places after the Bungles. It's more a matter if HE wants to keep playing. Now you can say he's 37 and the second-best LB on the #18 defense but you don't have anyone else either. I think that ship has sailed for Jones and Worilds. Jones has reached his max level of competency which ain't a lot and Worilds is not great, not bad, but Just A Guy who's going to want another $10 mill and clearly isn't worth it. You can find JAGs for less money, like Moats.

I just don't want to end up like the Ratbirds where Flacco gets all the money and they can't afford to have a lot of good talent around him.

Who all have the Ravens lost because of the Flacco contract who was more valuable than Flacco? Just check the teams playing this week and tell me who would be there w/o the QB.
 
6 years 100 million 25 gauranteed
first 3 years base close to 17-20 as base and last 3 easy to absorb, troy retiring we really need.
Worlids if used properly which is blitz right at the edge can be very effective as effective as a healthy Woodley 8+ sacks, I dont know why Lebeau had him lining up up as a mlb then loop, he is a edge rusher, Shazier and Timmons are better suited to try that loop blitz from the mlb spot.

Keep Moats 3 years 6.3 mill
Mccain 3 years 5.5 mill
Blake 2 years 3.5 mill

Offer Worlids 4 years 22 mill 5 SB take it or leave.

a 4-3 option can be NG Mclendon 3T Tuitt and Heyward LE or if Jones bulks up he could be a RE and if we can the beard to stay for 1 last ride he anchor the LE spot

option 1 LE Heyward NG Mclendon DT Tuitt RE Kesiel
option 2 LE Kesiel DT Heyward DT Tuitt RE Jones/rookie if he adds 15 LBS of solid mass.

Special Ed, Boldin, Pollard, Kruger, Ellerbe, Williams,
 
i'm sorry, but i think he should get every single stinking penny for the work he's done here. **** a hometown discount
 
I agree he deserves every single penny, Lock up Heyward this winter and try to get troy to agree to a mutual retirement, or a lower base pay if he wants another year.

By Locking up Heyward it should free up money down the line.
 
With the $$$ qbs are getting, you better hit on your draft picks and get production from them while on their rookie contracts, like Seattle is doing right now.

Seattle might have the best GM in the business. Ben on the open market is worth 25 million a year. If he wants to have the best possible legacy ( 3 Super Bowl wins ) he signs for 21-22 million. The man said he would offer a home town discount.
 
Sign him, we don't have the best GM, but hopefully he will be good enough to get this deal done.

I was thinking the same thing, but Mrs. Roethlisberger doesn't make as much money as Mrs. Brady. Baby formula and diapers are expensive for both households. Mr. Brady doesn't make as much money as Mrs. Brady either, but the way the Pats* operate it wouldn't surprise me if Blank or Belicheat sends briefcases full of cash under the table to him.

What? She might make a nice living but you're saying Super Models make $20 million+ a year?

Let's give Jarvis a "full season" now that he's acclimated to the NFL - harsher judgment for sure after next season...

Yes. It's well-known and joked about that she makes more than he does.
