OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Everyone outside the Baltimore Ravens facility trumpeted the team’s biggest needs as the offensive line, defensive line and pass rush.
Yet no one should be surprised that Baltimore's first free-agent addition was safety Marcus Williams -- unless you weren’t listening to Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta at his season-ending news conference last month.
“Our inability this year to create turnovers was probably an issue for us, and I would love to see us make the play this year coming up – intercept more passes, cause more fumbles, be more disruptive,” DeCosta said in February.
