Sometimes the moves you don't make are the best ones. After devouring the weekend's roster cuts, Gregg Rosenthal examines players like James Starks who escaped the chopping block.

On a busy day in Baltimore, the Ravens released QB Curtis Painter and kept LB Sergio Kindle, who has promised to celebrate the team's decision ... in a special way.
