WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) -Steve McNair began his 13th training camp Monday with a familiar sense of calm. A year ago, McNair hardly knew any of his new Baltimore Ravens teammates and was similarly unfamiliar with the playbook. The former Tennessee Titans quarterback was under pressure to learn the complex offense of coach Brian Billick, and there wasn't much time to get it done. This season, anxiety has been replaced by confidence. It's just another training camp for McNair, who took charge in the huddle Mo |

Tomlinson said the top-seeded Chargers figured there was a good chance they'd be playing the No. 2-seeded Baltimore Ravens, a matchup that would have been in the AFC championship game. On Oct. 1, the Chargers turned conservative and coughed up a late lead, losing 16-13 at Baltimore. Neither team survived its playoff opener, though. The Ravens lost to eventual Super |

The coach then signed free agent right tackle Tony Pashos, hoping the former Baltimore Ravens starter will help keep Leftwich upright in the pocket. Del Rio also brought in speedy receiver Dennis Northcutt, trying to give Leftwich a legitimate deep threat missing since Jimmy Smith retired before last season. The Jags also signed tight end |

| Westminster, MD (MySportsbook) - The Baltimore Ravens agreed in principle Friday to terms with their final two unsigned draft choices, offensive guard Ben Grubbs and fullback Le'Ron McClain. Grubbs, a 6-foot-3, 314-pound guard from Auburn, was Baltimore's top choice in the April draft, taken 29th overall. His deal is for five years and an undisclosed amount. In his career with the Tigers, Grubbs was twice a first team All-SEC selection, and was an All-American during his senior season. He was the first offen |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -The Baltimore Ravens reached agreements with first-round offensive guard Ben Grubbs and fourth-round fullback Le'Ron McClain on Friday. The deals ensure that all eight draft picks will be under contract when players report to training camp Sunday in Westminster. ``It's good to have each of our draft choices finished prior to the start of Brian (Billick)'s team meeting on Sunday,'' general manager Ozzie Newsome said. Grubbs agreed to a five-year contract with a maximum value of $ |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -A year ago, the Baltimore Ravens entered training camp with plenty of questions and only a half-dozen victories to build upon. Coming off a 6-10 season, the Ravens wondered how quickly their new quarterback, Steve McNair, could adjust to operating coach Brian Billick's complex offense. They had no idea who to start at free safety, and star middle linebacker Ray Lewis was returning from a serious hamstring injury. The Ravens also worried about relying heavily on rookies at several ke |

It was a sentiment often expressed by Peterson, who signed Holmes as a free agent after he was cast off by the Baltimore Ravens in 2001. ``You never want to say never with Priest Holmes,'' Peterson has said.

| Baltimore, MD (MySportsbook) - The Baltimore Ravens signed three of their 2007 draft picks on Tuesday, including Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith. The Ohio State star quarterback -- selected in the fifth-round of the draft -- received a three-year deal, as did third-round choice Yamon Figurs and sixth- round selection Prescott Burgess. That leaves first-round pick Ben Grubbs and Le'Ron McClain, a fourth-round choice, as the only two Raven picks that remain unsigned. |

DENVER (AP) - Trevor Pryce is looking for big hits in the offseason, too. The pass rusher who recorded 13 sacks for the Baltimore Ravens last year kept his home in the Rocky Mountains and a swank studio in downtown Denver when the Broncos released him 16 months ago. It's in this LoDo loft not far from where he made his mark at Invesco Field and the old Mile High Stadium that Pryce is trying to put his imprint on music and movies. On a recent brainstorming session with three of his employees, Pryce scri |
