Due to the Ravens being hurt by injuries in the backend, they could have gone into the offseason standing pat with their secondary, banking on good health, and nobody would have complained. But they didn’t.  At the start of free agency, the Ravens went after the top Safety on the market, former Saint, Marcus Williams. The 25 year old who finished last season…

Renfrow and the Raiders came to an agreement on an extension, worth $32 million. This ensures Renfrow will stay in town for at least two more years.
