The Ravens are offering free agent cornerback Morris Claiborne roughly $5MM per year, according to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com. At present, it’s unclear how many years Baltimore is proposing on a potential contract.
Claiborne was first linked to the Ravens last week, while a subsequent report indicated most clubs believe Claiborne will eventually end up in Baltimore. Claiborne would join Jimmy Smith in the Ravens’ starting lineup, allowing second-year pro Tavon Young to remain in the slot. Baltimore’s secondary also contains Kyle Arrington, Maurice Canady, and Sheldon Price, while Lardarius Webb — who is now a safety but can still play in the slot — may be re-signed after being cut loose last week.
Claiborne, 26, transformed himself from a former draft bust to a legitimate top corner in his fifth NFL season, ranking as Pro Football Focus 12th-best corner last year year. Re-signed to a one-year deal worth only $3MM in 2016, Claiborne played in seven and posted one interception. Injuries forced Claiborne to miss more than half of the regular season, though he did return for the postseason.
He’ll play 8 games next year…. maybe
History has a funny way of repeating itself. The guy has a hard time staying healthy.
That makes me sick. They better not.
That’s the Raven way! Let’s waste money that we badly need for better players at other positions! I’m so sick of Ozzie Newsome and Harbaugh and Pees and don’t get me started on our so called elite QB, Flacco is at best the 25th best QB out of the 32 teams! I miss the glory years unfortunately I doubt we ever see those again, every year it’s draft bust after draft bust I’m sick and tired of Ozzie trying to be cute and draft no name players!
They suck! Get your head out of your butt and trade up and get some good players!! The game has passed him by if you can’t adapt retire !!
Go root for another team. Maybe the Browns or Jets or Bills.
goofball
lol seriously?
Typical Raven fan. Go cheer for the Browns then. Maybe the Bengals, they have all that money and haven’t done anything. The Ravens are always competitive, stop crying
Go get him we need a good comer back
Pro Footall Focus had him ranked as their 12th best corner last year? This article claims he was one of the top corners?? As a Cowboy fan who watched every game last year, he was slightly above average AT BEST! Makes me wonder where they had Brandon Carr ranked? Geez
This will be a good move if he healthy disregard the uneducated fan who commented earlier they aint know any better
I don’t think anyone is mistaking Claiborne for a top-corner. At least no Cowboys fan.
Totally agree. On his best days he is slightly above average. On his normal days he is injured.
I actually wish my boys would bring him back! I liked him ! DC4L
