The Baltimore Ravens made a pair of moves on Monday first signing running back Gus Edwards to a two-year, $10 million extension and then inking free-agent offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James to a two-year deal.
The Edwards extension was hardly a surprise given that general manager Eric DeCosta had expressed his desire to keep the fourth-year running in the mix long-term.
The James signing, on the other hand, was a complete surprise.
One might think that with such a busy day, the cap-strapped Ravens would have exhausted the majority of their remaining cap space with these two moves.
