Ravens are making a serious push to get back to being champions

[skialta]

Trent Richardson is back.

The Baltimore Ravens announced Monday they have officially signed the former Browns and Colts running back to a contract.


Richardson had an unofficial agreement in place with the Ravens hinging on the former first-round pick shedding weight and showing up to the complex in shape on Monday.

With that box checked, Richardson has a shot to revive his career after sitting out last season following a summertime release by the Raiders. Sporting an uninspiring 3.3 yards per carry over 37 starts, the former Alabama star has been a comprehensive disappointment at the NFL level.

"I've got a lot to prove to myself," Richardson said earlier this month. "It's not about everybody else this time, it's about me. I'm really giving it my all. It's enough talk. We've been doing a lot of talking. Now it's just time to put up."

Richardson joins a running back room packed with Justin Forsett, Javorius Allen, Lorenzo Taliaferro and another Browns castoff in Terrance West. T-Rich is no lock to make the team -- the farthest thing from it -- but it's a significant step for a player many considered finished at the pro level.

They'd have better luck bringing Rice back.

there was already a thread on this.
two Trent Richardson threads eclipses his yards gained last season.

So far it's a smart move by the Ravens. I'm sure he isn't costing anything significant and it seems to be incentive based type pay. We as STEELERS fans coming off years of cap hell, can appreciate that fact. It is still Trent Richardson and 3.3yrds average. Could be worse but on the flip side how far will he go. Will this be Ozzie's "genious" move of the year ????


Salute the nation

Eh, I doubt there's anything there but strictly from a human interest perspective it would be fascinating if he could regain his skills.

He was never used properly

This guy is a bum and what makes anyone think he will succeed here when he's failed everywhere. Very good college back and that's where it ends. Next!

 

[Steelerfan]

This is a GREAT move for the Steelers' benefit because he sucks so badly.

So you're saying Coach is hijacking accounts now???

 

[Litos]

If the ravens keep pushing they are going to deliver a turd

 

[Steelerfreak]

Give em Ki-Jana Carter and Rashan Salaam too.

 

[Steelerfan]

Wow, there's a throwback.

Oh, give the guy a break; he was drafted by the Browns in the 1st round. His career was doomed from that point on.

He was just as bad at Indy, with a much better supporting cast.
