Willis McGahee wonders about his future with Ravens

It's long been expected that the Ravens will cut Willis McGahee once the lockout ends, but the backup running back voiced some uncertainty.

"I wonder what the ravens are going to do wit me," McGahee posted on Twitter around 7 p.m. Wednesday.

McGahee, 29, is scheduled to make $6 million in 2011.

The Ravens will only save $2.5 million in salary-cap space, but the Ravens need all the help they can get. According to ESPN, they are $5.33 million under the proposed cap (and that doesn't take into account the tenders for the restricted free agents).

In March 2007, the Ravens traded three draft picks (two third-round ones and a seventh-rounder) to the Buffalo Bills for McGahee. He earned his first Pro Bowl in his first season with the Ravens, leading the Ravens with 1,207 yards rushing (which ranked eighth in the NFL).

But McGahee has never clicked in the offense since coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron arrived. His carries have decreased each season, dropping to a career-low 100 last season.
