Renee is wife of Steve Bisciotti (current majority owner of the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League)
While the Ravens prepare for a 2010 season without a salary cap, Bisciotti has hinted that the NFL could suspend its operations in March 2011 if concessions are not made by the Players Association in the negotiations for a new labor contract . Bisciotti has made these statements during a press conference during which leaders have assessed the circuit last season and planned the 2010 season. The owner of the Ravens added that several of the 32 NFL clubs had difficulty in registering their balance sheet in black ink. -> Created for Renee BisciottiIt's Monday, less than 24 hours after the last game of the Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti that announced the dismissal of coach Brian Billick. The disappointing results of the franchise in Maryland will have been right in one of the most recognized coaches in the NFL. Especially since many saw the Ravens as serious contenders for the supreme title at the start of the 2007 season. Baltimore had kept most of its stars (except Adelius linebacker Thomas) while adding the dreaded runner Willis McGahee. We have a team worthy of the Super Bowl, and today we believe that future years will be better with a new coach Bisciotti said. The decision was the least difficult to take for it. Indeed, Billick has won the grand final in 2001 during his second season at the helm of the Ravens and led his squad to a record of 13 wins last year which is the best record of this young franchise. But to be honest, 4 years now, Baltimore is suffering from a rare inconsistency. And this campaign is indeed the perfect example. After an encouraging start winded but with 4 wins in 6 games, the cast of Ray Lewis has lost no fewer than nine consecutive games to finish with a poor record of 5-11 and last in the AFC North hen. Injuries and downright pathetic attack partly explain this. But it was a guilty and direction Ravens ruled. Billick is returned with all his staff. It does not seem resentful He (Bisciotti) has made a difficult decision, but he did what he thought was best for the team. The output of Joe Flacco, wanting to renegotiate his contract comes in the context of the most delicate. Deciphering the situation Joe Flacco confirms his discomfort in the Baltimore Ravens. We have had a glimpse during the season with tough tussle on the sidelines with veteran Derrick Mason. (Which, incidentally, does not seem to hang). In January, the dismissal of Zorn (QB Coach) who maneuvered behind the scenes against Cam Cameron (offensive coordinator) to retrieve his position, had shocked Flacco, taking him, I quote, for a "personal attack". In this power struggle, Zorn could count on a base weight: Flacco does not support Cameron, believing that it does not trust him. Flacco would like more freedom to call plays and above all freely manage its extent audible, which is not the taste of Cameron. Zorn fired, the management of the Ravens opted against the advice of the fans, to give full powers to Cam Cameron. (It is now overflowing with prerogatives in the position of QB Coach). The last chance for Cam, whose results are deemed insufficient. This decision was also intended to guard against the absence of CBA: the lack of mini-camp from April to May did not implement all the necessary work on a new playbook imposed by the arrival of a new coach. -> Site for Renee BisciottiSo, the QB puts foot in it by revealing his lack of confidence today at the Baltimore Sun. He hopes to begin negotiations to a year before the end of his rookie contract: "You do not make me sign this year, it means that you make me play a whole year without any security on my contract. If you want me to continue, why wait six months?". "If you do not believe that your QB will be the decade to come, so why wait another year?" What should we expect the year the management had left the Ravens transpired that Joe Flacco was a default choice? Indeed, without a rejection of the trade St. Louis Rams, the Ravens have drafted Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) who was the initial choice of Ozzy Newsome (head honcho of transactions). Fans, meanwhile, are not tender with a Joe Flacco held too long in making its decision on the ground, up to christen the pet name of "Sacko Flacco. However, the behavior of fans is severe, if not unwarranted. Indeed, Flacco does not have an offensive line of high quality: Michael Oher is its premium (his personal story is a nice marketing stunt) & Marshall Yanda has been a disaster in RT. In addition, WR (Derrick Mason, Anquan Boldin, TJ Housmanzadeh) are aging and unable to separate CB marking them. However, Flacco took the Ravens three times in play-off in three years. -> Created for Renee BisciottiIn short, the output of the year when Flacco has important players in the system Harbraugh coming out of contract. Current status: - Willis McGahee (RB) should be the first to the door. For his final year of contract, his salary will be $ 7 million. Excessive for a backup and also inaccessible to attract a franchise for a trade, McGahee should be fired. This would release the payroll for the extension of LeRon McClain. Some rumors suggest that the latter could be replaced by back-up Ray Rice. - Dawan Landry (SS) should not be extended. The second best tackleur Ravens last season, moves in a game area where Baltimore alternatives. Thus, Ed Reed would in all likelihood, be replaced by (SS) & Tom Zbikowski, the boxer should take the place of (FS). - Challah Ngata (DE) is the No. 1 priority. He received the franchise tag. When the new CBA is signed, Ngata should receive a long term contract, making him the player of the highest paid DL in the league. His salary will have a major impact on free agency because the Ravens should not be able to sign players. (Maximum 1 player) - Shortly before the end of the last CBA, has confessed that he had Harbraugh resign Marshall Yanda (G) & Chris Chester (C). Jared Gaither (T) should pay the price behavior of a dilettante & wages result. The position of (RT) should compete among Oniel Cousins ??& Ramon Harewood, unless a future draft pick does not fit in. -> Site for Renee Bisciotti- No news yet in a game area destroyed: the CB. Josh Wilson, Chris Carr & Fabian Washington are out of contract. Establish a budget based on the impact of a salary cap (which we do not know in the absence of a CBA) is a routine for a franchise. Their decision is usually considered in terms of years to follow the current fiscal year. Thus, it is already planning for the year 2011 when the Ravens are three major players come out of contract: Joe Flacco (QB), Ray Rice (RB) & Ben Grubbs (G) where it returns A few months ago the president of the franchise, Steve Bisciotti, recognizing the need to re-sign Joe Flacco quickly. The flexibility of the Ravens is extremely limited. It seems unlikely that Flacco can get his contract this year. The latter said he would not cause trouble in case of unsuccessful negotiations. But it is important for a franchise that has encountered significant problems with the offense (problems & egos of results) to reassure his QB and build as the patron vis-à-vis its teammates. -> Created for Renee Bisciotti |
