Willis McGahee to be Released

In a move that has been rumored for the last few years the Baltimore Ravens are set to cut ties with Willis McGahee who was due $6 million if he stayed with the team.

The Ravens may look to resign him at a cheaper rate once the new CBA is in place but they may just look for the cheapest back available.

In our opinion the tough as nails McGahee is the perfect complement for ray Rice and is a Ravens type of running back.

Ray Rice still had a great overall season with over 1700 yards from scrimmage, but his 4 yards per carry this year are a far cry from his eye-popping 5.3 the year before.

What makes Rice’s numbers even more concerning is that he had the advantage of playing in a stronger offense that added Anquan Boldin, Donte Stallworth and T.J Houshmandzadeh.

Willis McGahee would be a good fit for any team in need of a pass catching power back.

The Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Lions and Eagles look to be potential fits but the New Orleans Saints may be the ones who come calling if they fail to land a power back in the draft.
