Newz Forum: FOOTBALL: Steve McNair signs with Ravens

In what has been speculated ever since the draft, former NFL MVP Steve McNair has signed on with the Baltimore Ravens. The deal looks like it will be good for Baltimore, not having too much effect on the Salary cap. I think they were rather shrewd with the Titans in only giving up a 4th round pick for McNair. Can this be the year that the Ravens make it back to the Super Bowl? Or has the defense lost its one time superiority?

The contract signed by quarterback Steve McNair with the Baltimore Ravens is for five years with a maximum value of $32 million, but from a practical standpoint, the deal for the former Tennessee Titans star is structured more as a three-year contract that will pay him $20 million.

And three seasons probably reflects the shelf-life Baltimore officials realistically feel McNair, 33, still has remaining as an impact-type player.

I think Steve McNair will do good with the ravens especially since he's reunited with Derrick Mason. But they are not in the superbowl.
