Ravens were 5th in run D, 4th the prior year.

And run D was a big problem last year. He can't fix it single handedly, but solidifying NT is a great first step.

Killer signing, and sneaky good just about exactly the way Linval was. 

I assume Jaleel rotates with him. Is the end for Shamar 2.0? He can't rush the passer like at all. So there's no point in rotating him at 3T. What are the cap implications of cutting him?

Just mentioned Pierce as the top guy to replace Joseph on air with @MatthewColler earlier today. Pierce has been a top 5 run-stopping NT over the last 3 years. He is an immovable object with heavy hands that can also reset the LOS.

Cap number is $5 and change, dead money $2,666million. So...since we are busy setting record amount of dead cap for the franchise...NEXT!
