Baltimore signed defensive back Jordan Richards Thursday afternoon after he was released by New England Wednesday.
Earlier this week, Baltimore released veteran special teams ace Justin Bethel to save a likely fourth-round compensatory pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Ravens didn’t want to let Bethel go, but they wanted that pick.
The Patriots picked up Bethel, and released Jordan Richards to make room on the 53-man roster. Then the Ravens picked up the 26-year-old Richards, who was a second-round pick out of Stanford in 2015.
