The Baltimore Ravens outlook for 2012 went from bad to worse on Thursday when the team learned that elite pass-rusher Terrell Suggs would miss significant time next season.
General manager Ozzie Newsome has already seen talented players like Ben Grubbs, Cory Redding and Jarret Johnson leave this offseason.
Now, with Suggs gone, I can’t see the Ravens making the playoffs.
After a huge 2011 campaign, Mike Wallace has been somewhat close-lipped on whether or not he’ll sign his restricted free agent tender to remain with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Now that Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald got huge contracts, Mike Wallace seems to feel that he’s due.
It’s been a rather trivial offseason for the Steelers, as they’ve lost Aaron Smith, James Farrior and Chris Hoke and have been informed that they’ll be without Rashard Mendenhall for the start of the season.
Losing Mike Wallace could send this team into a rebuilding phase.
We’ll assume that the wideout is looking elsewhere and break down the possible destinations for this pass catcher.

While the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens can’t seem to get their act together this offseason, the Cincinnati Bengals are emerging as a surprise favorite in the 2012 AFC North.
After signing BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Travelle Wharton and Terrence Newman, the team has added a solid, veteran presence to their already talented, young lineup.
Despite the losses of Keith Rivers and Cedric Benson, the team looks rather set to eclipse ten wins come next season.
