Ravens sign CB Bryan McCann

[1/28/01]

CB - just signed. Released by Cowboys last month.

Posted on Twitter we sign the ex cowboys cb, maybe this means a setback to Carr or smith because I thought we have enough cb depth when there fit. Gorrer came in and played well albeit on three plays and of course Webb and Williams really stepped up.

Who now goes to practice squad and who is cut from ps. I don't think its Gorrer someone would sign him of PS.

[Purple Nurple]

Wow. why? Like you mentioned, it may mean Carr or Smith are not ready to come back yet. I feel so bad for Smith. Losing all this valuable playing time.

[Militant X 1]

wasn't expecting that.

Prolly means we are unsure about carr which is understandable since hammy injuries are always iffy...
Good signing.. Liked what i saw from gorrer but he's a 5 right now not a 4

wnst, y u no text me

[Purple Nurple]

Any D player signed to this team must be overwhelmed with joy.

[PuRock]

Well his contract won't be guaranteed. So they probably just want to kick the tires and see if he'll be a good fit here. With all the injuries we've had to CB it might not be a bad thing to look.

Its not certainty that he stays around.

[ravensfan160]

Did we sign him to the active roster or just the practice squad?

Granted this was one of Elis 25 gifts last year......

Worthwhile noting but the signing doesn't move my excitement meter at all at this point. Insurance policy at best and taking a flyer at worst. As always, I hope he gets the meter moving though.

[y0unghustla]

precaution, if another corner gets hurt we in trouble. so they prolly picked him up for that reason plus he can return as well and play st

[y0unghustla]

Exactly what i just said

He's just depth. We need it with all the injuries.

[1/28/01]

Break out the Sanders jerseys everyone (assuming McCann takes #37)

Sorry, im not familiar with the guy but one question comes to mind....The cowboys took frank walker over this guy??? What am i missing?

He isn't elgible for the PS since he was on the active roster for enough games last year.

[charchboii]

He's just depth/insurance....but yeah, that is ALARMING!!!

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

He also can be a good special teams player if needed.

Joe Flacco.

Probably Burgess or Mattison. Or worse, somebody is placed on IR,

[charchboii]

if anyone remember this guy was on our team last year

[RavensFanInCA]

We've had McCann before... wonder if they've seen something in him while playing for the Cowboys that made us take another look.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Gl to him.

[1/28/01]

Had a 97 yard punt return TD the week after the 101 INT return last year....

[Alexir]

A. Always good to have corner depth; hope Jimmy is ok and between the 2 I would rather Carr to be the one not looking to be ready
B. His special teams play is probably why he is really here
C. There's a chance we signed him do to our safety depth. If reed or pollard go down, Webb might have to go back there. Little extreme but I can see it happening.

"Agent John Biggins on Ravens signing CB Bryan McCann: 'They want him to return punts and kickoffs and provide depth in the secondary.'

---Aaron Wilson's Twitter.

I figured.

Good. Less chance of injury to Webb then.

[Militant X 1]

great! then they can finally move Webb out of that punt return spot.

I'm with the people asking about why they let McCann go and hired Frank Walker to be in his place. Although the Cowboys haven't been known for their talent scouting prowess in the past few years.
