The time for posturing is all but over.
The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals now have approximately 48 hours to strike a deal with defensive end/linebacker Terrell Suggs and kicker Shayne Graham, respectively, or both players will be playing on one-year deals this season.
Both were hit with the franchise tag this offseason and have until Wednesday to reach a contract extension or keep the tag for the season.
We've been monitoring these situations for nearly two weeks, and it's appears Suggs has the best chance of the two AFC North franchise players to reach a long-term deal.
But a lot can happen -- or not happen -- in the next two days.
