Much has been said about the Baltimore Ravens’ activity during free agency this year at the wide receiver position, and for good reason. The majority of that discussion has surrounded the wide receiver that they did not sign, Ryan Grant, who failed their physical before subsequently passing two other teams’ physicals and signing a deal for substantially less than Baltimore agreed to.
General Manager Ozzie Newsome maintained that the failed physical was a purely medical decision and that they still wanted Grant even after quickly turning around and signing Michael Crabtree, who was released by the Oakland Raiders between the time the Ravens agreed to a contract with Grant and the time he took his physical.
