Willie Snead has a fresh start, $10.4 million contract with Ravens

After a limited 2017, Willie Snead has a fresh start.

The wide receiver is headed to the Baltimore Ravens, after the New Orleans Saints declined to match a $10.4 million offer sheet for the restricted free agent.

Snead, who played at Holland Christian and Muskegon Heights, had just eight receptions for 92 yards last season, partially due to a three-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy and then being limited by a hamstring injury.

The 25-year-old Snead was a dependable option for Drew Brees in 2015 and 2016, though.

He had 141 receptions for 1,879 yards and seven TDs over those two seasons.
