 Matt Birk has a great deal of reasons to hang up his cleats A great deal of the fans are wondering who is going to be the Baltimore Ravens' Ed Reed Jersey starting center in the 2012 NFL Draft. As far as we all know that Matt Birk, who is an old stager for 14 years in the NFL, signed a deal for 3 years and $12 million with the Baltimore Ravens in 2009. For we all know that Matt Birk thought over retiring after the 2011 season, and is again thinking about doing so after the Ravens ended their season one win shy of a Super Bowl berth. At 35 years old, and in the wake of a family of eight including a wife and six children ranging from 6 weeks to nine years old, Matt Birk has a great deal of reasons to hang up his cleats. However, just as the most athletes, the 2011 Walter Payton Man of the Year badly wants a shot at a Super Bowl ring. Whether that desire is going to be enough to motivate Matt Birk to come back for a 15th season remains to be seen. Another important fact is that the contract of Matt Birk with the Baltimore Ravens is up. Rumor has it that the Baltimore Ravens would be willing to bring Matt Birk back on a deal for one year. However, at the end of the season press conference of the Baltimore Ravens, the general manager Ozzie Newsome addressed the center position that he is going to say that before the Baltimore Ravens line up and play in 2012, there will be another center on this football team in some capacity, free agency, draft or whatever. The Baltimore Ravens are going to have a great deal of options in the 2012 NFL Draft, if Matt Birk ends up retiring. Peter Konz, center from Wisconsin, has received consistent praise from scouts. In Mel Kiper's latest mock draft, he has the Baltimore Ravens selecting Peter Konz with the 29th pick in the first round. Mel Kiper said that Matt Birk will need a replacement at center, and Peter Konz is the best one in the draft. The Baltimore Ravens have Cecil Newton, who is the brother of Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton, on the practice squad, in addition to Peter Konz, and a deep draft for linemen. Newton plays the center position. The Baltimore Ravens may also have to take the place of starting left guard Ben Grubbs, who seems unlikely to be resigned as the Baltimore Ravens just rewarded right guard Marshal Yanda with a hefty contract extension. We have a feeling the Ravens Anquan Boldin Jersey are going to get a deal done with Grubbs. However, as far as Birk goes we hope he comes back for one more shot at a ring. If we can bring back Birk for one more year and draft his replacement that would be fantastic. We should also do that for Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Wide Receiver should be addressed in Free Agency assuming we decide to dump Lee Evans.
