In this season of swelling expectations for the Baltimore Ravens and their amped-up fans, who does or doesn’t make the Pro Bowl seems pretty insignificant in the big picture.
After all, if/when the Ravens make the Super Bowl, the players won’t be in the exhibition game, anyway, right? They have much bigger prey in sight than that.
Only, it does matter, particularly to the players. It shows who is getting respect from the fans and the League, can be used as a tool in contract negotiations down the line and, more immediately, can mean a tasty little bonus if that is written into their current deals.
