Mike Preston: Ravens got better with Jeremy Maclin signing

The Ravens made a good move by signing veteran receiver Jeremy Maclin to a two-year contract Monday. He isn’t in the same class as Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown or Cincinnati’s A.J. Green, but he is the complete, capable receiver the Ravens were missing. He is a playmaker.

The Ravens already had speed in receivers Mike Wallace, Breshad Perriman and Chris Moore, but they needed a receiver who could run any route, go across the middle and find ways to get open.

Maclin is a good fit.

He had just 44 catches for 536 yards and two touchdowns playing in 12 games last season after missing four games with groin injuries.
