- Terry 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.

- Harris: Mason back with Ravens, cuts into Boldin's value ESPN Christopher Harris looks at the fantasy implications of Derrick Mason re-signing with the Baltimore Ravens, and how it affects a much more crowded receiver situation.
- Derrick Mason brought back in Baltimore FFToolbox.com Suddenly, the AFC is the division of wide receiver duos. The Baltimore Ravens re-signed wideout Derrick Mason on Wednesday to a two-year, $8 million contract. Mason spent the past five seasons with the Ravens, never missing a game and representing the team's most trustworthy targets. Mason had wanted to play again for Baltimore all along, but said that he would only return to the game if he got a two-year deal. That's exactly what happened. Mason, 36, is a fossil compared to other solid wide receivers, but he is coming off his eighth 1,000-yard season, including his third in a row. He will te...
- Harris: Bryant gets slight bump after joining Bengals ESPN Christopher Harris looks at the fantasy implications of Antonio Bryant signing with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Miami and Washington were also rumored to be vying for Br...
