The Ravens will bring back backup wide receiver Michael Campanaro, who could return to a receiving corps more in need of his services. Baltimore’s pact with Campanaro could be worth as much as $2MM, Jeff Zreibec of the Baltimore Sun reports.
This deal will replace the $1.79MM original-round tender the Ravens offered the then-RFA last month. The 26-year-old wideout will receive a $250K signing bonus and a $250K roster bonus, per Zreibec. With the $2MM figure being reachable only through incentives, this deal will save the Ravens approximately $600K.
Campanaro has mostly seen special teams work in his three years with the Ravens. The Wake Forest alum and Maryland native has 12 career catches for 137 yards. Although, the Ravens lost Steve Smith to retirement and Kamar Aiken to the Colts via free agency defection. So, it’s possible Campanaro sees a bigger role on the 2017 team.
