Ravens sign NT Ryan McBean
espn.go.com
The Baltimore Ravens announced they have signed nose tackle Ryan McBean, who has been suspended six games by the NFL for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.
The Broncos removed McBean’s $1.272 million restricted free-agent tender last month after they signed Justin Bannan. McBean, 28, started 21 games the past three seasons for the Broncos. He had a career-high four sacks last year.
Although McBean did have his best year as a Bronco in 2011, it's the lowlights that will define his legacy in Denver:
- The two face mask penalties McBean committed during the Jaguars' game-winning drive in the 2010 opener.
- His arrest on stalking charges, which were later dropped.
- The recent suspension amid accusations that his drug-testing sample for the league consisted of non-human urine.
