I take a look at the contributions of the Ravens 2016 free agent class.

Free Agency, the time where teams bring in big additions, but also can lose them as well.

Last season, the Ravens surprisingly brought in a good amount of free agents. Ozzie Newsome usually sticks to improving the team by taking rookies in the NFL Draft, but brought in some talent from other teams.

After a 5-11 season in 2015, players needed to be brought in, whether it was through the draft or through free agency.
In this post, I only focus on the free agents that the Ravens signed before the 2016 season.
 I look at their contributions and grade them based on their performance with the team.
