Fan Forum: Gauging the Hot Message Board Topics for Every AFC North Team

The best way to get a feel for what's really going on with an NFL team is to take a look at what the fans are discussing. Here are the hottest topics of the week for AFC North fans, as culled from fan message boards around the web.

Baltimore Ravens fans at Ravens24x7.com are discussing the possibility of running back Ray Rice wanting a $100 million dollar contract, one comparable to that of the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson.

With the Scouting Combine under way, Ravens fans are also talking about which players the team may be giving the most attention to this weekend.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans at the Steelers Fever forums are talking about quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's latest contract restructure as well as the potential for wide receiver Mike Wallace to remain a Steeler for life, per general manager Kevin Colbert's comments yesterday.

Cleveland Browns fans at TheBrownsBoard.com also have Wallace on their minds, discussing whether or not it's a good idea for the team to use their No. 22 first round draft pick to snag him should the Steelers need to place an RFA tender on him.

They're also discussing the possibility of the Browns adding free agent quarterback Matt Flynn to their roster this offseason.

Cincinnati Bengals fans at the BengalsZone message boards want nothing more than to have a better running game in 2012, while their counterparts at the Jungle Noise forums are discussing former Bengal Evan Mathis' comment that Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco weren't as big of distractions as they were made out to be.
