The eighth overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft was signed by the Baltimore Ravens last year after being cut by the Oakland Raiders. Within two weeks, McClain was arrested for […]

Report: Haloti Ngata Declined A “Lucrative” Extension From The Ravens This Offseason
Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports that the Ravens offered NT Haloti Ngata a “lucrative long-term“ extension this offseason.
However, the two sides were unable to reach an agreement, according to Breer.
Aaron Wilson confirms the news and adds that the numbers being discussed were “unrealistic.”
Ngata, 30, carries a staggering $16 million cap figure for the 2014...
Mount Cody still resides in Baltimore…
I honestly thought big Terrence Cody would get an offer from another team as an unrestricted free agent. Maybe he did— but apparently for no more than the $630,000 the Ravens wound up re-signing him for on a 1-year “Prove It” deal.
I was wrong about the Ravens giving up on him. They want to give him one more shot to prove he can be a starting nose tackle again in the league...
Power Rankings: Baltimore Ravens have had mediocre offseason so far in 2014
Since the 2013 NFL season ended 10 weeks ago, every team in the NFL has made changes. Both winners and losers from last year have been busy making adjustments.
Some have revamped their coaching staff. Some have turned over their roster. Some have done a little bit of both. But none, not a single one, have stood pat.
During this firestorm of activity, every team believes they’ve...
Baltimore Ravens 7-Round Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 17: Calvin Pryor, S
Michael Conroy/AP Photo
Here the Ravens make a big move in getting Calvin Pryor. Pryor is a game changer, and the Ravens have had success with game changing free safeties in the mix. Pryor could be a game changer for this team.
Last year, we saw James Ihedigbo, and previously we saw Ed Reed, both play makers, but different in the respect that...
Why the Ravens will miss Corey Graham more than they think
After the 2011 season, the Ravens made a seemingly innocuous signing. Bolstering their special teams unit, they etched former Chicago Bear Pro Bowl gunner, Corey Graham, to a 2-year deal worth $4.2 million. Though not a household name by any extent, any fan would struggle to find negative comments about the former New Hampshire University standout. What had seemed to be a safe...
Baltimore Ravens | Best & Worst Case Scenario for Round 1 of the NFL Draft
The Ravens have been busy in free agency taking care of a handful of needs (Steve Smith, Owen Daniels, re-signing Monroe) making their pick at 17 a little easier. They are a team that could go in a handful of directions (OT, S, WR, LB) and also be a candidate to trade back to snap up a few more picks. But they could also be in a prime spot to have a guy like Lewan who would be the...
The Ravens’ Mt. Dreadmore: One man’s opinion, and then the right one
Back about a month ago, you couldn’t turn on ESPN without hearing a discussion about a hypothetical “Mt. Rushmore” scenario. That is, in some arbitrary world where there are only four spots to honor individuals, who deserves to have their face etched in stone?
Well, one of the staff writers here at cover32 decided to tackle a different angle to the whole scenario, and rather...
After losing Corey Graham, will one of the top 10 corners be in Baltimore?
First thing’s first. There is a need at cornerback (though not necessarily glaring) after the Ravens let Corey Graham walk in free agency. And although Graham was a nickel corner, in today’s NFL, many defenses essentially operate with three starting cornerbacks.
We will be going in depth tomorrow as to what made Graham so effective and how the Ravens may look to replace his...

Which NFL-Ready Draft Prospects Can Make Immediate Impacts at the Pro Level?
For most NFL rookies, their first season in the league is all about getting acclimated to the pro game and learning new systems. For others, however, the rookie season is merely an opportunity to continue the dominance displayed throughout their collegiate careers.
Many prospects entering the NFL will need time to develop into capable pro-level players. Here is a look at five...
Ravens in the cat-bird seat for 2014 Draft…
When you’re holding the #17 pick in the draft, you sorta hold the cat-bird pick…
You can trade up… or trade back.. or you can hold steady…
Here’s how Garrett Downing of the Baltimore Ravens.com website sees the “hold steady” picks shaping up:
If the Ravens stay true to #17, here are Downing’s most likely suspects:
Tight End Eric Ebron, North Carolina

Steve Smith isn’t upset that he’s not a Panther
It’s tough to say what was the more jarring sight Friday at zMax Dragway: watching former Panthers receiver Steve Smith climb behind the wheel of a top fuel dragster to rev the engine, or seeing him sporting the colors of his new team, the Baltimore Ravens.
“The confidence that I have in myself, I look good in any color,” Smith said. “I look good in purple. So I’ll be...
Steve Smith says he’s moved on from Panthers
Now that Steve Smith is a Baltimore Raven, he's letting bygones be bygones.
The veteran receiver told the Charlotte Observer that he no longer concerns himself with his former employer -- the Panthers, who dumped Smith and three other wideouts this offseason.
“Not that I’m upset, not that I’m mad. It’s just the facts of the business,” Smith said. “Brandon LaFell...
Steve Smith Doesn’t Care About Panthers WR Issues
The Carolina Panthers have some glaring holes at the wide receiver position. It’s a problem that the greatest pass catcher in team history could care less about.
