I'm fine with this move. Lets spank the worst team in the NFL now, go ravens!!!!

[cobrajet]

Well we got experience and depth now.

[Corvus]

I like the move, not a ton to choose from but I think Babin still has another year in the tank.

[purpledown]

a solid vet,once a very good player.

[pizzle9249]

sorry to say but you do have a point there

He's a rental.

Nice pick up! Wasn't really worried about the "D" as much as the Offense. Can someone expalin to me who does the Raven's Receiving scouting ? Let #12 Waller get some playing time, he can't do no worse than what was out there Sunday!

[ravens533]

Welcome to the Ravens Babin. We need you to Play Like a Raven. Our defense is between very very good and great. We held Peyton to no TDs the past game. So, Jason, you are with a great team. Make us proud to have you.

[forliferaven]

still would have liked Freeney !!

[VeiledPsychosis]

He has the ability to get to the QB, on the other side of Doom he should have a good season. Of the guys available I think Babin was probably the best choice. I still suspect ZD Smith will be active for the next game though.

[Smothy]

PFF rated him strongly in pass rush last year, despite only 2 sacks (according to Rotoworld). Pretty good depth signing.

[JetLife94]

Nice veteran addition!! He could help zadarius adgust to the NFL!

[omar586]

he will do fine with the Dline we have, our Dline will give him opportunity to do what he does best , sacks.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

I hope he will help....35, only 2 sacks last year, cut this year....lets see what he has left in the tank....playing for a ring could be some extra motivation

[chuchu707]

He's finally apart of a full fledged defense! I love this move!

[CQ1]

After a long day of jabbin and nabbin, heres hoping you like crabbin !

Good luck, Babin. Welcome to B'more. Get loose !

[Jim Giampaoli]

forliferaven: do you remember JO pounding this guy into the grass or spreading his arms to drown Freeny's swim moves. This guy played for Indy. Irsay's team. He wore our uniforms even the horseshoes. I go back to 1952 so don't tell me we need somebody from that Freakin' city. Go Ravens..

ravens usually find a way to make Vets productive.

[respecttheRaven]

"Pro Football Focus advanced metrics actually rated Babin as the third-most valuable defender on the Jets, and he was ranked as the league s ninth-best 3-4 outside linebacker." http://www.profootballrumors.com/jason-babin/

i like the signing....not sexy but solid-typical ozzie pickup!Welcome BABIN!

[Nick04263]

This was a depth move to add experience, a guy who understands rushing the passer and someone who is in football shape since he was just recently cut. He will be a situational guy is my bet and hopefully the young guys really bring their A game to stopping the run and setting the edge.

[Zeus]

How many teams has he been on?

[sflegend89]

Nice signing, considering how dried up the FA market is at this point this is solid... brings more pass rushing ability than Upshaw on passing downs.

[iluvpurple]

I like this signing as well, Jason sounds like a pro journeyman just like Justin Forsett, just waiting for the right place and right time...... The Ravens are the right team, and the time in now !! Welcome to the team Jason !!

[forliferaven]

bring back Kruger !!......

[BmoreBird22]

How many teams has he been on?

I believe this is number eight.

[jravens13]

Babin is definitely better at setting the edge than Phillips. This is really a move that says Za'darius isn't ready to be more than a situational pass rusher yet.

[Nick04263]

bring back Kruger !!......

 

Ozzie is still laughing at the Browns for paying him so much money and the comp pick we got.
