The Facts: The Baltimore Ravens placed original round restricted free agent tenders on four players ahead of the start of free agency on Thursday. Via Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun, the Ravens tendered contracts to West (3rd), wide receiver Michael Campanaro (7th), tackle James Hurst and safety Marqueston Huff (4th).
Diehards Line:
West (third round), Huff (fourth) and Campanaro (seventh) would entitle the Ravens to draft pick compensation from any team that signs the players to offer sheets in free agency. The Ravens also have the right to match any offer sheet signed by the players. The tenders carry a value of $1.797 million for next season. ... West and Kenneth Dixon basically split carries and were effective when given limited opportunities. HC John Harbaugh said he is confident those two can carry the load in 2017. However, Harbaugh said the team needs a solid third running back and Allen is still in the mix to fill that role.
