RAVENS SIGN T AUSTIN HOWARD
The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran T Austin Howard to a three-year deal, general manager and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome announced Friday afternoon. Additionally, Baltimore waived (injured) TE Crockett Gillmore.
A 6-7, 330-pounder, Howard enters his eighth NFL season after spending the past three years with the Oakland Raiders. Seeing action in 76 career games (72 starts), he has also played for the Philadelphia Eagles (2010) and New York Jets (2011-13).
In 2011, Howard spent time on the Ravens’ practice squad from September to November before being signed to New York’s active roster.
