OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens bolstered their defense and improved their draft position at the outset of free agency.
The addition of 6-foot-8 defensive end Calais Campbell and the acquisition of 6-5 free agent defensive tackle Michael Brockers should improve a unit that last year had difficulty against the run and was pressed to sack the quarterback.
The Ravens finalized the trade Thursday afternoon and announced they had agreed in principle with Campbell on a one-year extension.
“Calais is a player we have long admired, even going back to the draft when he came out of college,” general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement.
