--The Ravens bolstered their special teams Thursday by agreeing to terms on three-year contracts with cornerback Corey Ivy (total worth $2.2 million) and linebacker-defensive end Gary Stills ($2.6 million). Ivy could be an option at nickel back, a role he played last season after injuries decimated the St. Louis Rams' secondary. The six-year veteran has made his living in the NFL by being one of the game's best gunners on punt coverage.

The Ravens have yet to make a move for a quarterback in free agency, which could mean they are waiting on Steve McNair. The Ravens reportedly have discussed the possibility of not adding a veteran quarterback until after the NFL draft, which is the earliest the Tennessee Titans would consider cutting McNair. Unlike the other quarterbacks available in free agency, McNair would be the undisputed starter over Kyle Boller.

Baltimore Ravens Strategy and Personnel
The Ravens' remaining targets in free agency are a veteran quarterback, a safety and a punter. The Ravens have yet to rush forward in their quarterback search, although Kerry Collins and Brian Griese - who since signed with Chicago - have drawn interest from them. As far as punters, the Ravens have shown interest in Carolina free agent Jason Baker but have not scheduled a visit. Baker, who led the NFC with a 38.9-yard net average, is expected to meet with St.

Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. They currently belong to the Northern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Ravens have won one Super Bowl title, Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 against the New York Giants.
The history of the Baltimore Ravens is unusual due to the unprecedented actions taken by the cities of Baltimore and Cleveland, Ohio, and the NFL in 1996. On November 6, 1995, then-Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell announced his intention to move the team to Baltimore, citing the inadequacy of Cleveland Stadium and the lack of a sufficient replacement along with his heavy debt. The decision triggered a flurry of legal activity that ended when representatives of Cleveland and the NFL reached a settlement on February 8, 1996. It stipulated that the Browns' name, colors, and history of the franchise were to remain in Cleveland. A reactivated Cleveland Browns team would then begin play in 1999, while the relocated club would technically and legally be a new expansion team, the Ravens. (The team's name comes from the famous Edgar Allan Poe poem, "The Raven.")
For that reason, past records and Pro Football Hall of Fame players are attributed to the Browns and not to the Ravens. (For more information on the move, see Franchise History of the Cleveland Browns). However, some incorrectly consider the Ravens and the pre-1995 Browns organization as one continuous entity, using terms like "The Modell organization" or "Art Modell's franchise" to denote it.
Conversely, many Baltimore fans, who are still bitter about the Colts football team moving from Baltimore to Indianapolis, Indiana in 1984, along with many of the Colts' former players, view the pre-1984 Baltimore Colts organization and the Ravens as one continuous entity. In fact, the old Colts marching band and fan club became part of the Ravens organization.
