Ravens:
Flacco, Reed, and Rice were all named to the NFL Networks Top 100 players of 2013. Gear up is starting for Training camp which is only weeks away, believe it or not!

Ravens: The Ravens have been signing draft picks one by one, and 2012 team members received their Super Bowl Rings last week. Notably absent at the traditional White House visit was Anquan Boldin and Matt Birk. Birk skipped for political reason, being a avid Pro-Life supporter.
Harbaugh is picking on Courtney Upshaw’s eating habits, and Vonte Leach would like to restructure his contract to stick around a little longer. Ravens about $3.6M under salary cap presently.

Maryland Women’s Team to play for Division 1 Lacrosse Title! Go Terps!
Ravens:
A recent film study reported that Flacco actually had a quicker release in 2012, contributing to his success… Urlacher retires after 13 years and being released by the Bears earlier this spring. He says he couldn’t “bear” playing for another team.

After having 41 years of Hopkins making the NCAA Lacrosse tournament snapped, another first has occurred: No Maryland based school has advanced to the second round. Time to start watching Women’s Lacrosse, I guess.
Ravens:
In a seemingly abrupt move, Rolando McClain announces his retirement. In reality, this is could only be a stunt. After his most recent arrest, the Ravens pulled him aside and gave him an ultimatum: Shape up. Expect McClain to reappear on the scene once his existing 3 police squabbles are resolved, assuming nothing new crops up. If he can’t keep his nose clean, he really will be retired.

Ravens:
Ravens acquired center AQ Shipley from the Indianapolis Colts for a conditional 2014 draft pick to add depth at center, and challenge Gino Gradkowski and rookie draftee Ryan Jensen for the starting job. Shipley, form Pittsburgh, is a seventh-round pick out of Penn State by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2009 (where he never made it off the practice squad; same story after a year in Philadelphia), started five games at center for Indianapolis last season and saw action in 14 total games. At 6 feet 1 and 309 pounds, Shipley can also play guard. The Ravens acquired the final two years of Shipley’s contract where he is due base salaries of $470,000 and $580,000.

Ravens:
Bryant McKinnie has been resigned to an incentive laced 2 year, $7M contract, which analysts predict will solidify our offensive line. However, in my opinion, we still lack a go-to “Hands” receiver. That Boldin trade is looking worse and worse every day.
