 Bryant Mckinnie
Not sure where to post this but since he was a long time Viking I put it here. Good riddance to the underachieving blob. Things and people do not usually change for long. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8 ... ith-ravens

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
Situation "weird". The Ravens paid him a $500,000 roster bonus in March!

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
Quote: The Ravens have informed LT Bryant McKinnie that they want him at 345 pounds at the start of training camp.
McKinnie ended minicamp at 354 pounds, so he's got nine pounds to shed to meet the Ravens' request. He weighed 365 in May. RT Michael Oher practiced at left tackle throughout OTA season, with Jah Reid getting most of the reps on the right side. It's fair to wonder if the Ravens might threaten McKinnie with his release if he doesn't report to training camp at the recommended weight.

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
He should make that pretty easily. The thing that has to worry the Ravens, though, is McKinnie's obvious lack of commitment to the team and even to playing professional football. It's the same old story with him. You really have to wonder what team's are thinking when they take on a slug like this. That the Vikings put up with him for so many years is one of my (most recent) disappointments with this hapless franchise.

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
They are thinking he is a physical freak. I don't like the guy either, but his measurements are genetically superior to play left tackle. Too bad he is such a dink.

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
I'm shocked. /sarcasm
Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens
Ravens LT Bryant McKinnie was absent from the start of training camp due to a vague "issue."
Coach John Harbaugh refused to go into details. McKinnie has a history of showing up out of shape and has also been dealing with lawsuits stemming from a lockout loan last offseason. "Until further notice, (Michael Oher) is the left tackle," said Harbaugh. McKinnie has been placed on the reserved/did not report list. Source: ESPN.com Jul 26 - 7:06 PM

That move (getting rid of McKinnie)is looking more and more like a very smart call by the Vikings despite initial reaction by some of the fans....

He's always been slow and vulnerable to speed rushers. And when he does "try", he's such a head case that he's never been able to focus every down. Baltimore is getting exactly what they asked for with this piece of garbage.

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
Annnnd the decision to drop McKinnie continues to look like a good one. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... line_stackQuote: The Baltimore Ravens and starting left tackle Bryant McKinnie have reached a road block in their attempts to restructure his base salary for 2012, a source in McKinnie's camp said Tuesday.
This leads to the fear that the Ravens will release the veteran, the source said.
NFL Network and NFL.com reporter Albert Breer received a text message from McKinnie that read: "We couldn't come to an agreement on the restructure of my contract, which leads to me being released."

There are plenty of teams in the league desperate for help. San Diego, Arizona and New York (Jets) come to mind.

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
Sounds like he had the Ravens in a tough place. Replace your LT less than a week before game 1 of the season? Yikes.

 Re: Bryant Mckinnie
He renegotiated his contract, right? So who had who?
Kinda ballsy on the part of the Ravens, if they were just calling McKinnie's bluff. What team replaces their left tackle (with no real players to do so) a week before the opener to save a couple $M?

McKinnie could easily be an All-Pro player if he just tried. Woulda shoulda coulda... I never miss a chance to post my displeasure  with the football career of Mckinnie. First off he is from "The U" which I can't stand. He shows up six weeks late to training camp because he is worth so much more money. When Bryant shows up he goes on to have a less than thrilling career. They hyped him up coming out of the draft as a guy who did not allow a sack in college...but when he showed up to the NFL he was a liability in the pass game.
