Ravens, safety Hamlin agree to deal
Former Cowboy provides insurance for Reed...
The Ravens added their "safety" net on defense by agreeing to a one-year deal with Ken Hamlin on Thursday.
Hamlin, 29, provides injury insurance for Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed, who isn't expected to be ready for training camp after having a hip procedure last month....
"It's definitely a good opportunity for me to go to an organization and a defense and a team that Baltimore has," Hamlin told The Baltimore Sun. "I'm blessed to be a part of it. I'm glad that the organization looked at me as an option to play on the team. I'm just happy."
Before Hamlin, the Ravens' only option to replace Reed was Tom Zbikowski, who looked solid in four starts last season. But one of Hamlin's greatest assets is leadership in the secondary. According to The Dallas Morning News, Cowboys coaches liked his ability to communicate and line up everybody in the defensive backfield
