Ozzie Newsome took care of business Fridaywith a flurry of moves.
He signed first-round pick Ronnie Stanley, added free-agent cornerback Jerraud Powers and created some room on the roster for future signings by cutting four players (Marlon Brown, Nordly Capi, Jermaine Whitehead and Nick Perry).
Perhaps the most noteworthy move was inking Powers to a reported one-year deal worth $1.75 million.
Here are five reasons why it was a fantastic signing for Newsome.
1) The Ravens found a potential starter … in the second wave of free agency.
Leave it to Newsome to find an accomplished starter this late in the process – someone who can play inside and outside corner no less.
