Baltimore Ravens Sign Quaterback Dayne Crist

The Baltimore Ravens have signed former Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist. He has many struggles and is highly doubtful to be any serious competition to make the 53-man-roster. If he lands somewhere, it will be as a practice squad member and even that, quite frankly, is a stretch. We do wish the kid the best of luck though as anything can really happen. The most memorable face of their...

Dennis Pitta Signs One-Year Deal To Stay With Baltimore Ravens

Restricted free agent tight end, Dennis Pitta, has re-signed with the Baltimore Ravens on a one-year deal worth about 2 million dollars.

Pitta finished 2012 as the 7th...
