The Ravens wanted to keep cornerback Corey Graham but the Buffalo native went home to sign a four-year deal with the Buffalo Bills.

About 30 minutes after the market opened at 4 p.m., the Ravens fulfilled their top free-agent priority agreeing to terms with left tackle Eugene Monroe on a five-year, $37.5 million deal, according to a league source.

Check in here throughout the afternoon and evening to get the latest news from what's happening around the NFL and how it affects the Ravens.

Baltimore Ravens remain patient with Eugene Monroe deal and as a result, come out with a good deal.

Negotiations between the Ravens and offensive tackle Eugene Monroe are heating up and sources predict a deal will get done today barring any unanticipated snags.

Eugene's Monroe's status looms large as free agency opens and the Ravens prepare to lose several kept players from the organization.

Corey Graham exceeded the expectations of just about everyone beyond himself and the Ravens after he signed as a free agent two offseasons ago.

Now that the Ravens have finalized their $28.5 million contract extension with Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, they still have a considerable amount of unfinished business.

The Ravens answered one of their biggest offseason questions Sunday night, agreeing to a new contract with rush linebacker Terrell Suggs, the organization's longest-tenured player.

Free agency will start in a little over a month, but two things have become apparent: it's going to be tough for the Ravens to upgrade at center and the Ravens are in line to lose several defensive free agents.

Entering the 2013 season, the Ravens knew they would be starting two new safeties. Strong safety Bernard Pollard was released after the Super Bowl and iconic free safety Ed Reed was not re-signed.

Veteran linebacker Terrell Suggs said early in the season that he'd love to be one of those rare guys who plays his entire career in one place but the next couple of months will put that to the test.

When the Ravens signed Corey Graham to a two-year, $4.204 million contract two years ago that included a $1.2 million signing bonus, they promised him a shot at a role beyond special teams. Two years later, the former Chicago Bears Pro Bowl special-teams ace has emerged as a valuable nickel back and spot starter whom the Ravens would like to retain as an unrestricted free agent.

One of the many things that the guys over at Pro Football Focus do is grade every player that plays a snap in the NFL. So since the Ravens' season is over, let's go back and see which players received positive marks from PFF and which ones were in the red.

Baltimore Sun reporter Aaron Wilson looks at the film from the Ravens' season-ending loss to the Bengals.

Following a disappointing 8-8 season in which the Ravens failed to qualify for the playoffs after making it the previous five seasons under coach John Harbaugh, they face another challenging offseason filled with difficult personnel and salary cap decisions.

The Ravens spent day one of their offseason attending one final team meeting with coach John Harbaugh at the Under Armour Performance Center and packing up their belongings.

Finally, in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens were able to use tight end Dennis Pitta as they originally envisioned before training camp kicked off.

The spotlight will be back on the Ravens secondary as Baltimore prepares for a do-or-die game against the Cincinnati Bengals and another of the NFL's best receivers, A.J. Green.

Something unusual happened Sunday involving Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.

Between the precision of quarterback Tom Brady and running back LeGarrette Blount busting through tackles Sunday, the Ravens' defense was perplexed by a balanced New England Patriots offense.

Each week, Baltimore Sun reporters Aaron Wilson and Matt Vensel will look back at the Ravens' previous game and that of their next opponent.

Fullback Vonta Leach was an afterthought during Monday night's 18-16 win over the Detroit Lions, Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta played fewer snaps and more observations after looking at the official snap counts.

This would have sounded crazy a month ago, but as of this morning, the Ravens are two wins away from their third straight AFC North title.

Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith was granted an assignment he coveted Monday night, a daunting task most defensive backs would absolutely dread.

It took time for Jimmy Smith to put it all together after the Ravens drafted him 27th overall that year, but in his third NFL season, he has grown into a cornerback they can trust.

Now that the NFL season is here, I'm putting a twist on my weekly Blogger on Blogger series. Each week, I hope to enlist a blogger who regularly writes about the Ravens' opponent to help me break down the game. This week, I exchanged emails with Max DeMara, who blogs about about the Detroit Lions for Lions101.com.
