Finally some closure for Ray Rice and the Ravens?
On Tuesday, the Baltimore Sun reported that Ray Rice received $1.588 million from the Baltimore Ravens as part of his grievance settlement.
Rice was seeking $3.529 million, but since he wasn’t able to play in the remaining regular season games that followed his initial two-game suspension, the hopes for that money went out the window rather quickly.
Rice’s rocky relationship...
Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco snubbed in latest QB Rankings
Quarterback remains the most-important position in all of sports, but that doesn’t mean it’s not evolving. In fact, the past 10 years have seen a drastic shift in the way success is defined behind center.
No longer are quarterbacks asked to simply stand in the pocket and deliver passes to receiver. More and more, they are becoming dynamic, two-way threats, players who can torment...

Why Webb is not “in-between a rock and a hard place” following pay cut questions
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Baltimore Ravens have asked veteran cornerback Lardarius Webb to take a pay cut, although it’s not exactly clear as to what that reduction would be.

Baltimore Ravens get overlooked in logo power rankings
It’s the symbol that represents a city and a franchise; it’s the mark that fans wear with pride, showing their allegiance to their favorite team. That’s what makes a logo important.
And while every NFL team’s signature is recognizable, not all of them are created equal. Some are classic and iconic. Others are modern and cool. But a few are downright putrid, bastions from...

Could the Baltimore Ravens and recently cut Cary Williams have a reunion?
Could the Baltimore Ravens try to bring back cornerback Cary Williams who was released by the Eagles Tuesday morning?
That’s the rumor already swirling.

Ravens Free Agency Primer
The Baltimore Ravens head into this year’s free agency period with a number of questions and limited cap space.

Ozzie is Ravens’ version of Mr. Spock…
One of the main reasons the Ravens have lived long and prospered in the NFL since 1996 is the Mr. Spock-like logic of GM Ozzie Newsome.
