WOR Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Donald Butler and Daryl Smith both cut today. Anybody watched these guys recently? I know Smith is getting old, but he was **** good a couple of years ago. Could he be a cheap fill in since we basically need 3-4 LBs? A better Peterson? I admittedly don't know anything about butler, but he must have been good at some point to make that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Manley Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Ravens fans on Reddit talking very highly of Smith, saying it was mainly a cap move...https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/48snfq/ravens_released_veteran_linebacker_daryl_smith/ Played at GA Tech too...could be a fairly cheap stopgap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Smith has started severely declining, and Butler has too, which is weird to say considering their age difference. I wanted Smith when he got away from the Jags but not now. I remember he sat out for months, even past the draft, before the Ravens signed him for the vet min.

hjerry Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I would be interested in signing Rahim Moore for a cheap one year deal. He's not a well rounded safety, but I think that he could do well in our system as a deep center fielder, basically a replacement for Godfrey.

To put it into a little bit of perspective, Walter, in his FA rankings, gives Smith 2 stars, rating him just 2 spots above Worrilow, and gives Butler 1 1/2 stars, putting him below Worrilow. That's just his opinion though of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2000 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) From what I read, Ravens fans still talk highley of Smith. I don't know, 34 is old for a Lber. Nobody is going to snatch him up anytime soon. We could wait until after the draft and if we think he can still offer anything then talk to him then. I have no idea at what level he is still playing at. As stated, I wanted him a few yrs ago. Ex GaTech,Jaguar, and he was available deep into the off season as stated above.

Yeah, a few of us were screaming from the heavens for us to sign him, when he was still available even past the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMT11 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Butler will play again for sure - more of A cap move to me, he fell off a little but was still decent, could be cheap - and the FO knew some more players would be released before FA hits and will have some more options.

I wanted him a year or two ago, but he looked like DeCoud 2.0 (as far as tackling and poor angles) when he played us and a few other teams last year. He was benched for Andre Hal and the rest was history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTBF54 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Zach Brown would be a better option IMO..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
