Ravens release 15, including QB Smith, K Graham; Reed to PUP
Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Owings Mills, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Baltimore Ravens released quarterback Troy Smith and kicker Shayne Graham on Saturday, also placing safety Ed Reed on the Physically Unable to Perform List to highlight a slew of "cut-down day" maneuvers.
It was thought that the 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Smith could stick with the team as a third quarterback behind starter Joe Flacco and backup Marc Bulger, but the Ravens ultimately decided to keep just two players at the position. Smith started two games with Baltimore during his rookie year of 2007, but had exclusively backed up Flacco the past two years.
The former Pro Bowler Graham was signed in the offseason with the thought that he would solidify the team's kicking role. But the longtime Cincinnati Bengal lost a competition with holdover Billy Cundiff, who was judged by head coach John Harbaugh to be the more consistent player during the training camp and preseason.
Reed's move to the PUP was also made official. The six-time Pro Bowler, who comes off of hip surgery, will be eligible to return to the active roster after the first six weeks of the season.
Also released were tight end Davon Drew, cornerback Travis Fisher, defensive back K.J. Gerard, wide receiver Justin Harper, cornerback Chris Hawkins, defensive back Brad Jones, guard Bryan Mattison, linebacker Albert McClellan, tackle Joe Reitz, wide receiver Eron Riley, running back Curtis Steele, tackle Devin Tyler and wide receiver Demetrius Williams.
Baltimore placed four players on Injured Reserve: offensive linemen David Hale (back), Ramon Harewood (knees), Stefan Rodgers (ankle) and nose tackle Kelly Talavou (knee).
Previously on Saturday, Baltimore dealt outside linebacker Antwan Barnes to the Philadelphia Eagles for an undisclosed 2011 draft choice.
The Ravens will begin their regular season next Monday night, when they visit the New York Jets at New Meadowlands Stadium.
