ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news that the Buffalo Bills is the likely landing spot for Kyle Juszczyk:

Ravens fans, regarding Kyle Juszczyk, there is good news and bad news, but the good news isn’t that good. The bad news is that Juszczyk leaving looks more and more like a certainty by the minute. The good news is that Buffalo could save us from playing against him twice per season when we play the Browns.

On Monday, I told you why Juszczyk was the Ravens most irreplaceable free agent. A day before the official start of free agency, it looks like we will be saying goodbye. He was the one free agent the Ravens should have invested in to stay. This was my main point the other day.

"“This brings me back to Juszczyk, he is the only player the Ravens can’t replace. If the Ravens lose Wagner and Williams, there are logical plan B’s. If the Ravens lose Juszczyk, there is no fullback that they can bring in that will be quite like him.”"

Now this is Adam Schefter breaking the news on Twitter:

A Rough Start For Free Agency:

Patience is a virtue, but with free agency it’s hard to have it. Here’s how Ravens fans woke up today. They saw that their star fullback was all but gone. They saw that Brandon Marshall would not be wearing the purple and black. The Ravens have only cut two players and cap space is not a luxury the Ravens have right now. Patience is a virtue, this I grant you. If the Ravens end up making a couple of big signings, we will be singing a different tune.

This kind of patience is tough for fans to have. Fans don’t have the master plan in front of them. They see their team lose their favorite players. They see players they want snatched up by other teams and they think, what are the Ravens doing? Patience may be a good thing to have. The problem is that this week, a week that could solve problems for the Ravens, is actually adding to their to do list instead.
