Baltimore Ravens and Drew Bennett agree to terms

Baltimore Ravens, who had tryouts with a couple of receivers today, have agreed to terms with veteran wide receiver Drew Bennett according to Profootballtalk.com

Both parties have agreed on a one-year contract for the veteran minimum after Bennett worked out for the Ravens with other receivers Chris Hannon, D.J. Hackett and Justin Brown.

Bennett, who played last season with the St. Louis Rams, only caught one pass, but that was due to a foot injury. After passing a physical and recovering from injuries, he can help the Ravens receiving core.

“I'm probably healthier now than I was two years ago," Bennett said. “And two years ago I was the hot commodity. People were asking to fly me around. Now, it's like I'm begging to get in the door.

“It definitely makes me a little bit hungrier to prove myself. When it's low expectations, I seem to do well. I think it's a good spot for me. Hopefully, I can get in the door and impress some people and play.”

Before the deal was done, Bennett was optimistic after his impressive tryout and since the Ravens asked him to stay around for a physical, he somewhat knew a deal would be offered, and he accepted.

Bennett played was cut this offseason by St. Louis following a two-year, $30 million deal.

With the Ravens signing Bennett, it gives quarterback Joe Flacco an option to throw to during the regular season, that way most Ravens fans are not only excited about their imposing defense, but now are more confident with their offense and what they can do in their AFC North division.
