The Ravens are picking up CB Brandon Carr's option, per source. So he'll be back. Team didn't want to leave itself thin at cornerback.
The Baltimore Ravens are picking up Brandon Carr’s option according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun. The Ravens could have saved a nice chunk of cap space if they declined the option in his contract, however this move makes a lot of sense. Jimmy Smith is an injury prone cornerback coming off another devastating injury.
Without Carr, the Ravens’ only veteran cornerback would be Smith. The Ravens have quite the youth movement going on in their secondary.
