The Facts:
GM Ozzie Newsome disputed an ESPN report that the Ravens are pondering making a substantial offer for Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. "We have not had one meeting to discuss any personnel on our team or anyone else's team," Newsome said this morning. "We've been very busy hiring assistant coaches."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
There has been speculation linking the Ravens to McNabb since the team hired longtime Eagles assistant John Harbaugh to replace HC Brian Billick. If the Ravens would decide they are interested in trading for McNabb, it likely would take at least a first-round pick. The Ravens have the No. 8 pick in the NFL draft. ... Although the Ravens haven't publicly committed to Steve McNair as their starter for next season, he has been rehabbing his surgically repaired left (non-throwing) shoulder about two to three days a week at team headquarters. "He's progressing very well," Newsome said. When asked if McNair could come back and be the starting quarterback, Newsome said, "We have not had any dialogue about our personnel. We don't have a quarterback coach yet."
