After a late-night announcement that the Ravens would be holding a press conference to announce a re-signing of one of their free agents this morning, fans expected the likes of C.J. Mosley, Terrell Suggs or even Za’Darius Smith. The announcement, however, was revealed to be a new three-year deal for tight end Nick Boyle.
Boyle has developed into one of the best blocking tight ends in the league and was a vital cog in Baltimore’s deadly rushing attack last season. New offensive coordinator Greg Roman worked with Boyle for several years as the tight end’s coach, so it should come as no surprise that he would want to keep his best blocker.
