The Baltimore Ravens signed one of the most notable and arguably the best veteran left on the free agent market last week when they agreed to terms with Justin Houston on a one-year deal. While General Manager Eric DeCosta and Head Coach John Harbaugh were praised for their patience and savvy when news of the acquisition broke, Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters deserves a lot of credit.
He and Houston were teammates for three seasons as members of the Kansas City Chiefs from 2015-2017. Before the new league year even began, Peters reached out to the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher and started sewing the seeds and laying the groundwork for their eventual reunion.
