The Baltimore Ravens release Todd Heap

The Ravens have released 31-year old TE Todd Heap.  Heap played in 13 games (all starts) for the Ravens last year and he caught 40 passes for 599 yards (15.0 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  He played in 133 games (128 starts) in his 10 years with the Ravens in which he has caught 467 passes for 5,492 yards (11.8 avg) with 41 TD grabs.  Heap also carried the ball 8 times for 61 yards (7.6 ypc) for the Ravens.  Heap made it to two Pro Bowls with the Ravens and he is the all-time franchise leader in TD grabs with 41 of them.  Heap is also #2 in receptions (467) and #2 in receiving yards (5,492) in Ravens’ history.  The Ravens would like to re-sign Heap at a lower salary but with a soft free agent market as far as TEs go, he might get a nice offer from another team.
