Dunta: The Solution?
The Houston Texans elected not to place the franchise tag on cornerback Dunta Robinson earlier this week; it will result in the CB hitting the open market. Although this is a cornerback heavy draft, adding Robinson would immediately upgrade the Ravens' defensive backfield. If he were to join the defense, he would likely start alongside Domonique Foxworth. Fabian Washington would also be a presence, if the Ravens choose to retain him. However, the big question mark going into the 2010 season will be Lardarius Webb. He is recovering from an ACL tear that occurred extremely late in the season. The chances of him making it back by the start of the season are slim. Therefore, the Ravens will need an upgrade, and adding Robinson would allow them to have a shutdown corner immediately. There are a lot of "catches" that will go into a signing of this caliber, the collective bargaining agreement in particular. The "Final 8 Plan" will likely hinder the Ravens' attempt to sign the corner. There's no reason his name should not be mentioned by the team in their discussions, though. THE CAREER NUMBERS: 394 TOTAL TACKLES, 4 SACKS, 17 STF, 37 STFY, 6 FF, 13 INTERCEPTIONS, 1 TOUCHDOWN
