Welcome to the Daily Caw, where we round up all the latest Ravens news and notes from around the web. Today we have the petition calling for an AFC Championship game redo, some hidden free agent gems, why the Ravens were lucky to wind up with Joe Flacco, and projections for the team’s compensatory picks.

Petition For Colts and Ravens to Replay AFC Championship Game Reaches 40,000 Signatures.

Deflate gate, as they call it, has certainly riled up some strong opinions across the country. One particular fan, Scott Latshaw, has gone so far as to create a petition on Change.org demanding that the AFC Championship game be replayed, this time between the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens. The goal is to reach 50,000 signatures, which seems quite achievable after the petition has already garnered over 40,000.

Hidden Free Agent Gems

Ryan Riddle agrees with my assessment that Byron Maxwell should be (and could be) on the Ravens’ radar in free agency. The Seahawks already have big money tied up in their secondary, and Maxwell has been playing in the shadow of his superstar teammates for a few seasons now.

Ravens Were Lucky to Hit on Flacco in 2008

Quarterback is an annual need for many teams. There just aren’t enough to go around, and a whopping 17 signal callers have been drafted in the first round alone since the Ravens took Flacco 18th overall in 2008. None of those 17 have played in a Super Bowl.

Projecting Ravens Compensatory Picks

The Ravens expect to receive three compensatory picks this year, stemming from their net losses in free agency last season.
