Washington agress to 1 year















Kelley Washington (formerly from NE) veteran WR came to work out with prospective teams & after seeing his potential the Ravens have decided they want him & Washington decided Baltimore is the place for him. Along with Washington the Ravens also worked out with Jerry Porter & Tab Perry who's expectations fell short after their shotty performances at training camp. The Ravens have been looking to bring in another pair of hands to help out on the pass game. After they didn't take anyone from the draft (as everyone expected/wanted) we've all been waiting to see what Ozzie was going to do about the situation. At first the idea of bringing Boldin in was being thrown around, but I think that in would be the answer but those thoughts were put to rest, since we don't have the $$ he wants & what he wants I don't think he worth. Then Newsome said we already have a receiver on the roster, Demetrius Williams, but once again he is sidelined with an injury...again (how many injuries/lack of playing does it take before you need to get rid of a player?). So with these options not available a couple of veterans were brought in to see if we could get a deal on someone. Washington stepped up & showed he wanted to be part of the team & that he wants to go to work. He also practiced down the beltway with the Redskins, but obviously he came back to Baltimore. The deal hasn't been fully finalized but after a quick physical the deal should be done by next week. Welcome aboard Washington, don't worry you'll actually get to touch the ball now that you Moss isn't on your team anymore. Let's see if you can help us out.

Ravens still looking for Defensive Secondary & Recievers

Couple new bits of news to announce, the Ravens are currently in negotiations with cornerback Chris Carr (from Tennesee). He hasn't officially signed anything, but there have been reports he will be coming to Baltimore. Carr had 29 tackles & 1 INT last season with Tenn. I feel any player from Tennessee will be a defensive boost for any team. The Ravens secondary is in some need of new blood & any player half decent (I feel) will play better D for us when you got Ray screaming in your face. Now to the offensive scouting. The team is also looking for WR's, Torry Holt (STL) is now free & he seems like a viable addition. Mason & Clayton are Flacco's main go-to guys, other than them our offense is mainly RB's & FB's that run. If we can get some more guys to go down field we could get some more offisive TD's (opposed to our main sccoring methods of INT's & FG's). Another worry is that Mason said he's looking for a contract extension. He's getting older & trying to get an extension might hurt him more than it would the team. Some other WR's on the market are: Marvin Harrison (IND), Amani Toomer (NYG), Shaun McDonald (DET), Lance Moore (NO). All these guys are kind of secondary, but any adds for Flacco to look at will help our stats as well as any of the WR's we pick up (maybe more so on our team than where they were prior).
