Ravens - Team History
Baltimore Ravens, professional football team and one of six teams
in the Central Division of the American Football Conference (AFC)
of the National Football League (NFL). Under the league’s realignment
plan, which will take affect in 2002, the Ravens will play in the
North Division of the AFC. The Ravens play at PSINet Stadium in Baltimore,
Maryland, and wear uniforms of black, purple, and gold. The team is
named after a poem entitled “The Raven” (1845) by American
writer Edgar Allan Poe, who lived in Baltimore during the 1830s.
Baltimore was
home to the Baltimore Colts (now Indianapolis Colts) from 1953 through
1983. The Ravens’ franchise was founded after the 1995 NFL
season, when Arthur B. Modell, owner of the Cleveland Browns, moved
his team from Cleveland, Ohio, to Baltimore and renamed it the Ravens.
(In 1999 a new Browns franchise began play in Cleveland.) Modell
brought to Baltimore a roster of veteran stars, including quarterback
Vinny Testaverde and running back Earnest Byner. He also hired former
Baltimore Colts head coach Ted Marchibroda to lead the new Baltimore
team. Marchibroda had produced three consecutive Eastern Division
titles for the Colts in the mid-1970s, but coaching the Ravens proved
difficult. Despite fielding a potent offense, the franchise struggled
defensively and finished at the bottom of the Central Division in
1996 and 1997. Testaverde left following the 1997 season and signed
as a free agent with the New York Jets. After finishing the 1998
season with 6 wins and 10 losses, the Ravens hired Minnesota Vikings
offensive coordinator Brian Billick as head coach.
Through shrewd
draft picks and free agent signings, the Ravens rebuilt their team
around a standout defense. The team was led by linebacker Ray Lewis,
who became one of the leading tacklers and top defenders in the
NFL. The Ravens’ defense gave up a record-low 165 points during
the 2000 season, then allowed just 23 points in the postseason,
including a 34-7 victory over the New York Giants in Super Bowl
XXXV.

<p>The Ravens retained the most prolific wide receiver in team history, re-signing Derrick Mason to a two-year, $8 million contract. He is set to receive $3.5 million in the first year.</p>
<p>The return of Mason bolsters a vastly improved passing attack for the Ravens, who signed Donte' Stallworth and traded for Anquan Boldin this offseason. Mason, though, brings continuity and consistency.</p>
<p>Since joining the Ravens in 2005, he is the team's all-time leader in receiving yards (4,975) and ranks second in receptions (410) and receiving touchdowns (22).</p>

NEW YORK - The New York Jets and safety Brodney Pool, whose career appeared to be threatened by head injuries, agreed in principle to a one-year contract Thursday worth US$1.3 million.
After twice reaching outside the organization to enhance their wide receiving corps, the Baltimore Ravens secured one of their own Wednesday night: two-time Pro Bowl player Derrick Mason. Mason, an unrestricted free agent, agreed to a two-year deal with the team he joined in 2005. Mason's future with the Ravens appeared unclear after the Ravens obtained free agent wideout Donte' Stallworth...

How each of the 32 NFL teams are approaching Friday's opening of free agency with no salary cap: AFC BALTIMORE RAVENS Ravens don't intend to be thrifty. In quest to enhance roster, especially at wide receiver, Ravens expect to benefit from cost-cutting measures by other teams.
