Baltimore restaurant helped lure Jeremy Maclin to Ravens with free food for life

Jeremy Maclin made a big decision on Monday, opting to sign with the Baltimore Ravens over the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills. The wide receiver took a little more than a week to choose his next team after being released by the Chiefs last Friday, visiting both the Ravens and Bills during the process.

Money and fit with the team were likely major factors, but the city of Baltimore did its part to lure Maclin in, too. Jimmy’s Seafood, winner of Bar and Restaurant of the Year awards, offered Maclin free crab cakes for the length of his contract (two years).
