daishadar 0 Posted March 12, 2006 Man, I thought the Browns would be able to land this guy. Young and big upside. But for some reason he decided to take a short term deal with the Ravens? Not a bright move IMO ESPN Ravens keep linebacker Scott with $13.5M deal Associated Press OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens re-signed linebacker Bart Scott on Sunday after he turned down a larger, longer-term offer from the Cleveland Browns. Scott left the Browns' training complex after agreeing in principle to a three-year contract with Baltimore. The deal is worth $13.5 million, including a $6.5 million signing bonus. The former undrafted free agent from Southern Illinois will earn base salaries of $1 million in 2006, $2.6 million in 2007 and $3.4 million in 2008. Scott proved his worth last season, making 10 starts in relief of injured All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis. Scott recorded a career-high 119 tackles and four sacks in 2005. Until last season, he was mostly known as a special-teams player and a versatile linebacker capable of playing safety in the Ravens' nickel package. Scott turned down a five-year contract offer from Browns general manager Phil Savage, the former Ravens director of player personnel. "Bart is just thrilled to come back home," said Harold Lewis, Scott's agent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ravenz20 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Not a bright move IMO why is that??? Am i missing something about that amazing Brown Defense. When #52 departs he will be able to step right in and record another 110+ tackle season. Seems like the right move to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
