Ravens, RB Ricky Williams agree to deal (AP)
By Zaket on August 9, 2011
The Baltimore Ravens have signed veteran running back Ricky Williams to replace Willis McGahee, who they let go days before training camp. Williams agreed to a two-year deal, the team announced on Monday. The former Heisman Trophy played last season with the Miami Dolphins and if everything goes well with his physical on Tuesday, Williams will work in tandem with Ray Rice.
