As we've said for the last year, our intent is to make sure Chris McAlister stays a Raven. The goal is to reach a long-term contract with him and his agent.

I won't ever get used to having to tell guys like Shannon Sharpe, Rob Burnett and Rod Woodson that, even though I know you can still play, still contribute, we have to release you because of the salary-cap issues.

Suggs is doing what we knew he could do when we drafted him.

We dominated people from a personnel standpoint back then.

We've talked about it ever since that New England-Oakland game, ... That year, it was probably the biggest topic of the committee and the biggest topic in our presentation to the owners. But it's one thing to think you need to change it, and another thing entirely to change it in a way that it actually can be officiated.

Expectations are there for this team to do well. They are there from the owner, myself, the head coach and his staff, and the players. Now, can we live up to the expectations?

I'm dealing with some guys of my vintage. Rod Woodson was a friend of mine before he became a player of mine. That's the part of this that will always be uncomfortable.

We did a legitimate cap-friendly deal with a low cap number in the first year [$1.5 million].
