Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reports that the Ravens are signing veteran OLB Jason Babin to a contract after he worked out for the team on Tuesday.
- According to Garafolo, Babin receives a one-year contract from the Ravens.
Baltimore also brought in free agent OLB Shaun Phillips for a workout as well, but it looks like they preferred to go with Babin.
Baltimore has an obvious need at edge rusher following the loss of Terrell Suggs to season-ending Achilles injury.
Babin, 34, signed a two-year, $3.25 million contract with the Jets last July and hid his option picked up back in February. However, he wound up being among the team’s final roster cuts from a few weeks ago.
In 2014, Babin recorded 26 tackles and two sacks over the course of 16 games. Pro Football Focus has Babin rated as the No. 9 outside linebacker in 3-4 defense out of 46 qualifying players.
