Owings Mills, MD (My Sportsbook) - The Baltimore Ravens signed free agent tight end L.J. Smith to a one-year contract Friday. Financial terms of the deal were not released.

Smith, 28, had spent his entire six-year pro career with Philadelphia and finished with 37 catches for 298 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games last season. He missed time during the year with various nagging injuries, including a concussion suffered in early October and a shoulder ailment late in the campaign.

"We are very pleased to add such a talented and experienced tight end," said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. "Obviously I had the opportunity to be around L.J. for a number of years in Philadelphia, and there is a comfort level that we have with each other. I know that he is a good fit as a Raven and will be a great addition to our team."

In 86 career games, the Rutgers product has 231 receptions for 2,525 yards and 18 touchdowns.
