Report: Willie Snead signs two-year RFA deal with Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens have revamped their wide receiving corps this offseason, and they are set to make another solid addition if the New Orleans Saints allow it.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Ravens have signed Willie Snead, a restricted free agent, to a two-year deal worth just over $10 million. The Saints will have five days to match the offer, but it seems unlikely that they will.
Saints’ RFA WR Willie Snead is signing a two-year offer sheet worth up to $10.4 million with the Baltimore Ravens today, per source. Saints will have five days to match it.

With the Saints having already signed Chicago’s RFA WR Cameron Meredith, it’s more likely that New Orleans will decline to match Willie Snead’s two-year offer sheet with the Ravens.

Baltimore has moved on from both Mike Wallace and Jeremy Maclin this offseason, but Snead would be a nice addition after they already signed Michael Crabtree. The 25-year-old caught just eight passes in 11 games with the Saints last season, but he averaged around 70 catches and 940 receiving yards in two seasons before that.
There have been rumblings that the Ravens make sense for a bigger free agent wide receiver prize, but the Snead signing makes that seem less likely.
