source? And if this is true, i am uncompletely unafraid of the ravens receiver corps right now.
Boldin, Dickson and who else Torrey Smith on the other side?? I am feeling more unafraid of their defense too. Cody will be a winded slob in the middle and Jimmy Smith might end up being a FS if he can get healthy to start the season.
i agree. gotta think that ozzie newsome knows what he's doing, but somehow i havent felt this unthreatened by the Ravens since 2007.

Baltimore is aging and I don't see their new guys stepping up. Unless Flacco can pass, catch and play defense I like our chances at the division.

The Steelers should go with what they have. I'd give this Greenwood or Lyons kid a shot at the #5 spot and just go with the winner. No receiver worth their salt is coming to Pittsburgh to be the #5 receiver. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if ARE ends up coming back to fill that role in the end.
not sure how interesed they are thoPer Jason La Canfora:

Maybe a little smoke-screen going on...
Is it really shocking that there isnt alot of interest cotchery?
i aint buyin' it for a second. It's gotta be a smoke screen, and the rest of Cotchery's suitors would have to be idiots to think the Ravens aren't that interested. They are in no position to throw the ball. I am not afraid of Flacco to Boldin/Rice hook ups at all. No one is calling that bluff, if anybody but the Ravens get him, it'll be a huge victory for us.

I just don't like the Steelers planting in a rookie or inexperienced player in the #5 slot.

It's not like they're going to get a lot of playing time. We had Sanders and Brown in that role early last year.
Cotchery to any team would improve it, imo.
Wes Lyons, what's the word on this guy? 6'8" 230, who needs Plexico we already have a huge target...... I have only seen video of him blocking and I got to say I liked what I saw. Decleated somebody. I say stick him in the #5 spot and see what he has..

He is doing really well...so far. Still alot to prove. And he is 6ft, 9,,,Not 6ft, 8. Don't sell him short
I think 29 IS younger then 34 ( Plaxico )...and I guess by YOUR figuring,,,Boldin is OLD huh ?

Yes I know those guys will fill any role, but Sanders is still questionable with that foot injury and has Brown really shown enough to be relied on as a #3-#4 guy yet?

Not much news today. He took a physical today, had a meeting with Ravens FO, and spent the whole day at the castle reportedly
EDit: he passed aswell
Ravens Castle @ Owings Mills -- The Baltimore Ravens have decided to pass on veteran wide receivrer Jerricho Cotchery.
Cotchery visited the Ravens and took a physical on Tuesday, but isn't being offered a contract.
Personally think that is a huge mistake. Cotchery would immediately be the Ravens 2nd best WR. He passed the physical, so there are no medical concerns. And this late in the game, I highly doubt Cotchery and his agent are asking for alot of money. Come week 1 against us, your weak WR core will be your Doom.
Gotta wonder is Ozzie knows what he's doing or the Ravens are legitimately falling apart
Maybe Cotchery isn't all he's cracked up to be...
His back issues may be too big of a concern.

Well, that's ONE Tweet I am very Happy to see...to those who disagree, I respect your thoughts. And I KNOW that guys like Sanders and Brown will be okay to go by week 1. But you cannot underscore just how VALUABLE a guy like Cotchery is. He is a total TEAM guy. And will do anything asked of him. I GUARANTEE you those Baltimore fans who have been posting here will laugh & Mock this signing. But, after week 1,,,they will NOT!
Great News sir. Thanks for passing it along.
Welcome to the Steelers!!
Wow!
Welcome to Pittsburgh Jerricho!! I hope you can do something to contribute
