Per Adam Schefter......

Ravens' K Justin Tucker is so frustrated with negotiations he's vowing not to re-sign with BALT after season if no long-term deal by Friday.

Those fools need to look at a replay of Billy Cundiff in action to remember what they had before Tucker. That replay would make me giddy, except for the fact that it came against the Cheats, and I was rooting for the Rats to send them home.

Lots of coin for a kicker but he's arguably the best one in the league so I think you probably gotta pay the man.

$16.8M is a huge pile of cash. I would laugh if he ***** the bed performance wise now.

4 millions per season for an elite kicker, it is not a bad deal. Especially when your O is ****** and you have to rely on field goals continuously

After last season, hard to argue about the need for having a quality kicker on the roster.

Tucker is now the 7th highest player on the Ravens Roster against the cap. Not the best investment of dollars, but with XPs moving back, this team still views them as automatic with this kicker, and I don't disagree with that assessment.

4+ million a year for a kicker?! **** I'd never pay more than league min for a kicker or punter. After their initial contract I'd let them walk then bring in 10 rookies to camp and let them fight it out.

Oh Crap!

$4M More than the Unibrow? That is sure to cause locker room rifts.

Well no, Unibrow makes about $12 mill a year, the kicker is getting $16 mill for four years. Still a crapload of money for a kicker but if it keeps them in salary cap hell I'm all in favor.

He was worth it,..........for a little while. Injury sucks as sushi knows how devastating it is. I'm just saying it's great the gavens are tiring more $$$$ up on a kicker as they allready have some cap HELL happening. They can score their three, while I'll take our "7"
