One of the most publicized moves this NFL off-season was the Miami Dolphins acquiring Daunte Culpepper from the Minnesota Vikings. Now me being a Dolphins fan, I am elated that the 'fins have their first legit signal caller since Dan the Man. The fact that the Super Bowl pitches its tent in Miami this season presents my team with the storybook setting to reclaim some long lost glory.

However, if I were to make an early prediction for off-season move of the year, I would have to go with former league MVP Steve McNair migrating to the Baltimore Ravens. The messy parting of the ways between McNair and the Tennessee Titans will be the silver lining the Ravens have been looking for the past few years.

If you look at the Ravens roster, obviously the defense is still one of the NFL's best, but take a look at some of the weapons on the offense that will actually have a competent passer and ferocious leader to utilize their skills. Derrick Mason, who had a decent season last year, will flourish in 2006 and make the reuniting with McNair a huge problem for the rest of the AFC.

McNair has always been able to make the tight end position a key one in his offense. Giving him Todd Heap to find in the end zone time after time is like giving filet mignon to a starving man. Heap will feast on opposing linebackers and take home the All-Pro tight end spot in 2006.

Now the big question mark is whether or not running back Jamal Lewis can find his "mojo" again. With McNair under center, Lewis' 'mojo" will be rising high, especially since he will have solid fullback, Mike Anderson, in the backfield with him and backing him up. Anderson still has big play ability and Lewis will feed off the former Denver Bronco's intensity.

The Ravens also potentially scored big in the draft with huge defensive tackle, Haloti Ngata, from Oregon. If he comes along quickly, he'll give Ray Lewis the huge presence up front he's been craving as of late. Having another former Bronco, veteran Trevor Pryce, on the line can only help the rookie's growth. Throw in Ngata’s Oregon buddy and fourth round pick, Demetrius Williams, and the Ravens have a solid young wide out that will have Mason to look up to and learn from.

I think Raven's GM Ozzie Newsome has done a commendable job in getting head coach Brian Billick some veteran tools and young upstarts to help get the Ravens back to the post season. Topping it off with McNair, in my opinion, one of the best leaders this sport has seen in the past 15 years, Newsome may have given them the weapon that pushes the Ravens one extra yard into the end zone for the Super Bowl title that McNair and the Titans missed out on seven years earlier.
