To kick off their 2007 undrafted free agent pursuit the Ravens have so far signed the following players:

Northeastern University senior Kendrick Ballantyne has signed a one-year free agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens. Ballantyne, a tight end, caught 39 passes, including seven touchdown passes, in 11 games in 2006. He served as Northeastern’s co-captain in 2006. More HERE
