The Ravens have signed 29-year old DT Cory Redding to a 2-year deal.  Redding played in 15 games for the Seahawks last season in which he made 20 tackles and had 2 sacks.  Redding has now played in 101 games in his NFL career and he has made 221 tackles, defensed 6 passes, he has 18 sacks and he has forced 4 fumbles.  This was a good signing for the Ravens as Redding will give them some thump inside along the line when he is in the game.

The Ravens have re-signed 36-year old WR Derrick Mason to a new two year deal worth $8 million bucks.  Mason played in all 16 games for the Ravens last season and he caught 73 passes for 1,028 yards (14.1 avg) with 7 TD grabs.  He has played in 80 games in five years with the Ravens in which he has caught 410 passes for 4,975 yards (12.1 avg) with 22 TD grabs.  This was a excellent move for the Ravens who now have Anquan Boldin, Derrick Mason and Donte’ Stallworth at the top of the WR corps for 2010.

The Ravens have acquired 29-year old WR Anquan Boldin and a 5th round pick in this year’s draft from the Cardinals for a 3rd and 4th round pick in next month’s draft.  Boldin played in 15 games for the Cardinals last season and he caught 84 passes for 1,024 yards (12.2 avg) with 4 TD grabs.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 12 yards (4.0 ypc) last season.  Boldin has now played in 95 games in his NFL career and he has caught 586 passes for 7,520 yards (12.8 avg) with 44 TD grabs.  Boldin has also carried the ball 36 times for 209 yards (5.8 ypc) with 1 TD run.  This was a outstanding move for the Ravens as they have gotten themselves a true #1 type receiver.  They know that because they quickly signed him to a shiny new 4-year, $28 million dollar deal.
