March 1 was a salary cap purge day for the Denver Broncos.

Longtime standouts such as defensive end Trevor Pryce and running back Mike Anderson were some of the most high-profile victims, as the pair found themselves cut from the team.

Within a few weeks, each was signed by a Ravens organization trying to restore its prominence in the NFL, after a 6-10 season.

Anderson was the Broncos leading rusher last season in Denver, while Pryce is a four-time Pro Bowler.

“When the new guy is new, no matter who he is, he has to kind of find his place in it without going in and beating on his chest,” Pryce said. “I’ve been around guys that came in and tried to be that guy, and when they stepped on the field (they) found out that’s it’s not working; it goes backwards

The Ravens will be good this year

superstar

i think its gunna take more than that to turn the ravens into a contender.

Professor

it will take more than that, a rejuvenated j-lew, a sense of urgency, an experienced playmaking QB, a healthy and producing TE, a younger d-line and healthy d-backs. Oh yeah, they got all this, LOL

Jeb

I agree. I don't think McNair will be really effective until next season. Its too easy for him to make mistakes as he learns and everyone's D isn't going to wait for him to learn. Its hard to learn a new system overnight.

mcnair would be lucky to be playing next year, he is getting up there in years. once preseason is over, he'll be fine with the terminology, he is a vet.

Mcnair is a favorite of mine, if only they had one more yard in the 99 super bowl
thats one of my top 5 favorite drives of all time

The Ravens Could be good or they could flop if Mcnair doesnt learn in time

Jeb

Even a vet will struggle under a new system. I've seen it countless times. McNair is one heck of a QB but even he is going to have problems learning all of their system in time and not making occasional mistakes. That's why I agree that they will be a contender but I don't see this as their year. I believe they'd have a better shot under Boller because he's ticked off. And with everybody they have returning this year, ...I bet he feels ripped off!
