The Ravens have traditionally been slow to move in free agency, and they may need to be more cautious than usual because this is one of the most critical off-seasons in team history.
Teams usually make big signings early in free agency if they feel they are a player or two from winning a Super Bowl, but the Ravens have quite a few needs at outside linebacker, inside linebacker, cornerback and left offensive tackle and had one at safety until they agreed to terms with San Diego's Eric Weddle on Monday.
They can't afford to be in a hurry, not in their tight salary cap situation.
