The Baltimore Ravens agree to sign free-agent center Ethan Pocic to a one-year contract, according to multiple reports. Pocic, 31, most recently plays for the Cleveland Browns, where he has started 57 games over the past four seasons. Several outlets frame the move as an addition to Baltimore’s competition at the center position. One report describes Pocic as coming in to help replace or compete with the role tied to Tyler Linderbaum, while other coverage emphasizes that the signing adds experience to the Ravens’ starting-center battle.
Contract details reported by Yahoo Sports indicate the deal has a maximum value of $4.5 million, characterizing it as a relatively low-risk option for Baltimore. The Athletic also reports that the teams have reached agreement on the one-year terms.
Overall, sources agree the Ravens are bringing in Pocic on a short, low-risk contract and that his prior starting experience with Cleveland is central to the rationale for the move, with Baltimore evaluating who will man the position during the upcoming season.
