Ravens release Mulitalo

seeya Edwin...you were a great team player ...hope you land somewhere that needs you........

They needed to do this move, they need to keep it up and get younger and more athletic along the offensive line.

If Class was the factor when evaluating players for the pro-bowl, Big Ed would have been in Hawaii every year over his eight season's with us in Baltimore.
Football's salary cap is the main factor fors its domination of pro sports in general, but unfortunately today, we have seen the ugly side of the cap, and to be honest I dont like it.

Good luck Ed.....

Isn't it a shame that money always is the bottom line despite hurting others. I feel very badly that Edwin Multalo was cut because of salary cap reasons. He is a wonderful person and great player. I am sorry to see him leave. That is so unfair, especially seeing all he did and meant to the Ravens and to Baltimore. Shame on you, Ravens.

Gotta hope this clears room for Willis.

I hope Edwins release does not trigger a chain reaction meaning JO retires. Are those two not great friends?

I understand the business part of the game, but Edwin Mulitalo was a great part of this team and he will really be missed. He was very nice to my family when we saw him out at Port Discovery few years ago. Thanks Edwin for being such a great person on and off the field.

yikes

Agreed. It frees up money as well, and resigning Suggs to a new deal should be a top priority.

this had to be done. he was a good guy. this is too bad.

What impact will this have on possible retirement of J.O.?

i agree with reg and kevin.edwin is a classy guy. one of the all time fan favorites.pask for a autogragh and he would do so in a minute not like a lot of pros who ignor fans. he did alot for the community too. a heck of a football player too. i will miss him dearly. come on ravens resign him have a little bit of class. very digusted fan here. where edwin goes is their great gain and a tremendous loss for the ravens.3716

Let Jamal go, don,t bring him back, his year,s are over. Musa Smith and Anderson
can do alot better then jamal did, or can do. And trade up to get a running back
like Adrein peterson.

I would rather win football games than hold onto memories of a class player whos best days are behind him. Brown did a solid job filling the role, and the Ravens actually did Mulitalo a favor by releasing him now at the start of free agency. If Pashos got the deal he did someone will pay Edwin. If Ogden decides not to return it wouldn't suprise me now. As strange as it would be to not see Ogden out there, and it closes the Ravens window a bit, it also makes the salary purge Dick Cass eluded to after next season seem less severe. I would rather watch a competitive team year in and year out then mortgage everything for one more run in 07.

Releasing Mulitalo was hard to take
he did a great job for the Raven,s
but brown did a good job last year
and they need the money they are going to save,for a good running back
in the draft.

This is the reason I hate what has happened to professional sports and to the ridiculous prices fans are asked to pay. I had it in '94 when baseball went out and have not paid to see a professional game since. Too bad Edwin, you are one of the good guys.

They needed to do this but I am scared that this could lead to problems when they need a backup.

Yes, I agree with Ravens 07, the Ravens did Mu a favor by releasing him now in the midst of free agency. He definetly deserves to get a commanding pay. Sad to see him go but that is the NFL today, being able to build a consistently winning team with potentially interchangeable talent.

Well, I loved ED and he was an amazing player for us and his loss is not a big blow but he was a fan favorite, he was a player's player, the coaching staff respected him, and he was a team player. He was a fan favorite but Jason Brown will now get to be the starter and he had a great year. He is a lot more fresher and quicker on his feet than Ed but he is not as strong as Ed was. This just gives us more money that should have been spent on AD.

Now, we might get Willis McGahee who is good, not great. it will cost us a second round pick in this years draft and a couple of late second day draft picks next year.

But this article is about ED and he will always be one of my personal favorites. Now it will be interesting to see if Johnathen Ogden comes back after his friend and teamate for the last eight years is gone.

This isn't a great loss for the team, it was expected. However, the greatest loss will be for the community. Ed is a class act, the band should play on!!
