There is quite a lot to be excited about today, for Baltimore Ravens fans. I thought it would be a perfect time to check in to what the #RavensFlock is saying on Twitter:
The Baltimore Ravens have been busy. First they got a deal done with Tony Jefferson. Then they brought in Danny Woodhead. Free Agency officially starts later today, but the Ravens know their getting two players in their haul.
Before all of the moves starting happening, these tweet encapsulated my mood perfectly:
This time of year is tough for Ravens fans...we start talking up FA signings, but we know Ravens never go out and make splashes like this

The first big move was the Ravens signing Tony Jefferson. Jefferson is a strong safety with versatility. It’s hard to think of a better combination than Eric Weddle and Tony Jefferson in the NFL. Here is what some people had to say about it:
I wouldn't automatically conclude that Webbie is gone

Signing Tony Jefferson is great news for our secondary. Add a CB in R1 or 2 of the draft and that unit would be awesome. #Ravensflock

The Danny Woodhead Move:
The Ravens also brought in Danny Woodhead, according to reports. This one inspired some awesome tweets as well. Woodhead will bring a lot to the table, especially catching balls out of the backfield. This was a really good move, and kind of surprising too. We thought we may see a guy like Adrian Peterson here, but this is a good move.
Woodhead &Flacco on the same team allmost makes u wonder Can a backfeild be TOO elite?

So.....when Woodhead catches a screen for a first down do we yell " WOOOOODD" or "HEEAAADDD"?

If the Ravens faithful went to bed early last night, they certainly woke up to good news. Last night was a fantastic mood switch. I was bummed that the Ravens were losing their free agents. I was annoyed that players I coveted for the team were going elsewhere. Than Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens started doing things. All of the sudden we had a plan. It was exciting to say the very least.
