The Baltimore Ravens have reached an agreement with free agent defensive lineman Cory Redding on a two-year contract, the team announced today.
“This will sound a little like a broken record, but Cory is a guy who plays like a Raven,” Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome said in the team’s statement. “He hustles, he plays with intelligence, and he can play multiple positions like many of our defensive players. He’s been a starter at both inside tackle and defensive end. And I am sure our coaches will use him in both positions.”
In 2009 Redding was traded from Detroit to Seattle, and with the Seahawks he played in 15 games, starting three and recording two sacks.
Redding started all but three games from the Lions over a five-year period from 2004 to 2008. His best season came in 2006, when he recorded eight sacks.
