Report: Ravens To Sign Kelley Washington

The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to terms with veteran free agent wide receiver Kelley Washington, according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com. Per the report, which cited a source, Washington will sign a contract Friday upon successful completion of a physical. We’ve separately confirmed with Washington’s agent, Chad Speck, that Washington has verbally agreed to terms with the Ravens following an impressive tryout at last weekend’s minicamp. Washington is expected to sign a one-year contract. “He’s going to sign with Baltimore,” Speck said. “Kelley decided a few minutes ago. He views it as a great opportunity and a great organization. He’s excited to get started.” Washington is a former Cincinnati Bengals third-round draft pick who caught one pass last season for the New England Patriots, blocking a punt. In six NFL seasons, Washington has caught 73 career passes for 896 yards and nine touchdowns. The Ravens also tried out Jerry Porter and Tab Perry at their full-team, mandatory minicamp. “I’m just grateful for the Ravens to give me an opportunity to come and try out,” Washington said Sunday. “Just being a veteran, I want to get into a great situation. I want to play for a contending team. “It’s just going to be a situation where I sit down with my agent and see what’s the best situation for me and how I can get on the field and play some wide receiver, continue to help out on special teams and help them win. I’m big and I like to get in the middle and get dirty and just be a big, physical target. I think I can bring that to the team, but that’s up to management to determine.”
