The Pseudo holdout is over! Ed Dickson has signed his RFA tender and will be a Ravens for at least one more season.

This isnt really a big story, but it is worth noting. Dickson had not been required to attend manditory camps(which there havent been any of) or training camp until he signed the tender. This could also be a sign of a long term deal being close. I would expect the Ravens to try and lock Dickson down now if they plan on doing it at all because he only stands to gain value in Jim Caldwells more open 2 TE passing schemes. I expect a big year for Dickson and he might be fighting for a new contract.

It is worth noting as well that Dickson, despite no contractual obligation do do so, has not missed a single OTA.

Dennis Pitta remains the biggest priority re-sign for the team.
