While checking out ProFootballTalk for their take on the the Jared Allen situation (which is largely the same as ours–that is, blatently re-wordin all of Jay Glazer’s information–although we were able from making any comparisons of Glazer to furry rodents), we noticed that they are also reporting that Steve McNair has told the Ravens that he will retire.
It was probably time, too–the Ravens have to have been considering a QB in round one of the draft, even if McNair had returned–with his injury history, and only the generally regarded bust Kyle Boller and last year’s rookie project Troy Smith as the only QBs on the roster, they couldn’t have felt too comfortable.
Still, I tend to think that the Ravens would much prefer to find a replacement for Jonathon Ogden, who apparently has also been considering retirement–they have a couple guys with some potential, but after 10 years of having LT locked down by one of the best, the thought of losing Ogden has to be scary for the Ravens and their QBs.
