Devin Hester agrees to one-year deal with Baltimore Ravens

They found themselves on the roster bubble and they found a way to prevail. They are deciding who they see a future with, and who they do not see a future with.

And the New York Jets have cut ties with two recent high draft picks in cornerback Dee Milliner, selected ninth overall in 2013, and tight end Jace Amaro who was a second-round pick in 2014. Baltimore ‘s future with Devin Hester was undecided this off-season, until now. However, it would be odd for the Ravens to play hardball this close to the start of the season with one of their most well-respected and popular players. Reynolds was reportedly close to make the 53-man final roster, but the Ravens were impressed enough with his progress to bring him back to the practice squad. Fans shouldn’t be too concerned yet, there is a strong chance the team resigns Forsett on a cheaper deal before the opening kickoff Sunday. It was far from a healthy season for Hester. It took between three and six months. He has a lot of talent to offer for Baltimore. Hester has 19 career return touchdowns in 10 years, which ranks him amongst the best all-time at the position He played eight years with the Chicago Bears and played his last two seasons with the Falcons. He could end up being a solid addition to the Ravens. He underwent surgery this past January to fix the broken big toe in his right foot, and Atlanta cut him in July. Sanchez signed with Dallas shortly after being released by Denver.

Another surprise release came in Green Bay, where the Packers parted ways with guard Josh Sitton in a move seemingly driven by salary-cap concerns. The Ravens, who had the sixth overall waiver claim due to their 5-11 season previous year, were not awarded any claims.

The University of Miami’s storied program has been very good to the Baltimore Ravens. Was signing Hester short-term a good idea by the Ravens? Last year, the return specialist role wasn’t.
