Ravens Tried Out Five RBs Including Jamaal Charles

Field Yates reports that the Baltimore Ravens brought in five free agent running backs for tryouts on Friday including veteran Jamaal Charles.

The full list of tryouts for the Ravens includes:

1. Jamaal Charles
2. Charcandrick West
3. Fitzgerald Touissant
4. Akrum Wadley
5. Dare Ogunbowale

Charles, 31, is a former third-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2008. After nine years in Kansas City, the Chiefs released him last year and he later signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Broncos.

The Jaguars signed Charles to a contract a few weeks ago only to cut him loose after two games.

In 2018, Charles appeared in two games for the Jaguars ans rushed for seven yards on six carries (1.2 YPC) to go along with two receptions for seven yards receiving and no touchdowns.

West, 27, originally signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Abilene Christian back in 2014. He returned to the Chiefs on an exclusive rights contract in 2016 before agreeing to a three-year, $4.2 million contract.

West was set to make a base salary of $1.45 million for the 2018 season when the Chiefs released him. The Jets signed him to a contract in August but waived him as they trimmed their roster down to the 53-man limit.

In 2017, West appeared in 13 games for the Chiefs and rushed for 72 yards on 18 carries (4 YPC) to go along with 27 receptions for 150 yards receiving and four total touchdowns.
