The Ravens have added a big-bodied pass-catching tight end, and possible red-zone threat, by signing 2013 second-round pick Gavin Escobar.
Baltimore released offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom, who bounced off and on the roster last week, to make room on the 53-man roster.
Escobar is a 6-foot-6, 260-pounder who spent the last four years with the Dallas Cowboys seeing sparse action behind veteran Pro Bowler Jason Witten.
Escobar was a big-time receiving threat in college at San Diego State, and could help bolster Baltimore’s red-zone offense.
He has 30 career receptions and eight have been for touchdowns, which is a staggering rate.
