The Ravens have nine overall picks in April's draft and they'll be on the clock three times in a five-pick span of the fourth round.

The Ravens agreed in principle with three-time Pro Bowl selection Eric Weddle on a four-year deal that could be worth as much as $29 million. The deal, according to sources, includes $13 million in guaranteed money and $9 million this season.

Free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace will visit the Ravens on Monday, per report.

Many of the top free agents have already signed new contracts or will do so today. But that doesn't mean there aren't any quality free agent options left for the Ravens.

Hey Cole Beasley, you're going to be in high demand in fantasy football this week. You, too, Donte Moncrief.

Since signing with the Ravens, Steve Smith has told anyone who will listen that he's not the final piece of the team's championship puzzle.

One positive development from Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers was the return of injured wide receiver Jacoby Jones, who returned kickoffs and made an 11-yard touchdown reception. The Ravens limited his usage, though. Jones played just 17 offensive snaps and six snaps on special teams. More on that and other snap count observations.

Six games into the season, the Baltimore Ravens are a .500 team with about 500 unanswered questions on offense. Their saving grace has been the revamped defense, which has played very well since Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos made it rain touchdowns in the season opener. The Green Bay Packers put up big numbers Sunday, but the Ravens remained in the game because the defense held firm.

With the loss, Ravens head to Pittsburgh for matchup with Steelers at 3-3

Ravens Pro Bowl nose tackle Haloti Ngata strained his left elbow during the first quarter of today's game against the Green Bay Packers.

The Baltimore Ravens know they have to account for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb at all times Sunday. Whether he is lined up in the slot, the backfield or somewhere else, Cobb is a playmaker that the Packers use all over the field to create mismatches.

In this week's Blogger on Blogger post, Matt Vensel exchanged emails with Zach Kruse, who blogs about the Green Bay Packers for Cheesehead TV. The Ravens host the Packers on Sunday.

The Packers have built their offense around former league MVP Aaron Rodgers. They love putting him in the shotgun, using three-wide sets and keeping defenses on their heels with the no-huddle.

A season that began with such promise for the Washington Redskins has unraveled in rapid fashion.

Every Monday, the day after our favorite day of the week but still hours before that week's slate of games officially wraps up with "Monday Night Football," Matt Vensel will bring you his weekly premature NFL power rankings. Why Monday? Because who wants to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday for power rankings?

Every morning, Monday through Friday, blogger Matt Vensel will hook you up with reading material -- mostly on the Ravens but with some other Baltimore sports stuff, too -- to skim through as you slug down coffee and slack off at the start of your workday.

We are into the nitty-gritty of the fantasy playoffs, so let's get down to business with injury updates, some waiver-wire pickups if you're desperate, and more. If your squad needs help, shoot me a note. And feel free to leave your horror story in the comments section if you have already been dismissed.

The not-yet-official release of veteran wide receiver Derrick Mason opened the possibility of the Ravens making a play for one of the bigger-named wideouts on the free-agent market. Mason is in the twilight of his career, but his ego has shown no signs of decline. As we saw last season, there are only so many balls to go around, and when they aren¿t going to Mason's side of the field, he will freely voice his displeasure.
