Baltimore Ravens Rumors & News
Troy Smith might re-consider crawling to Cleveland
Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — A week ago, Troy Smith's agent said the Ravens backup quarterback "would crawl from Baltimore right now to be able to play in Cleveland." Well, Smith might want to re-think such a journey. Since those comments, the Browns traded for Seneca Wallace on Monday and signed free agent Jake Delhomme on Saturday. So, Cleveland wouldn't be a viable destination unless Smith wants to be a third-string quarterback. Smith was tendered by the Ravens as a restricted free agent. A team would have to give up a fifth-round draft pick as compensation for signing Smith to an offer sheet. According to the Rave...

Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — In my article Friday about the Ravens' void at defensive end, I forgot to mention Paul Kruger. The 2009 second-round pick could find himself in the mix at defensive end. It'll really be up to Kruger whether he can make an impact there. Listed at 265 pounds, Kruger needs to add some bulk to become a factor on the defensive line. In last year's draft, Kruger was tabbed a ‘red star’ player by the personnel department, meaning every Ravens scout agreed he personifies the true characteristics of being a Raven. He played nine games as a rookie, starting one. His biggest play was an overtime inter...
March 13, 2010Terry signs with Colts
Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — Free-agent offensive tackle Adam Terry, a disappointing second-round pick by the Ravens, has signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Terry wasn't tendered a contract by the Ravens last month, which made him a free agent. The second of two second-round picks by the Ravens in 2005 (linebacker Dan Cody was the other), Terry never lived up to expectations because of injuries and mild-manner attitude. He played in 48 games with the Ravens, starting 18. He was sidelined all of last season after injuring his knee in training camp.
