Birk is the first Ravens player to win the award, given annually to recognize a player’s community service and playing excellence. The announcement was made at the “NFL Honors” award show in Indianapolis, site of Sunday’s Super Bowl. Birk, a 14-year veteran who has played the past three seasons with the Ravens and is contemplating retirement, had been his team’s NFL Man of the Year recipient eight times and a finalist for the national award in 2008 before winning this season. He was selected over two other finalists — San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and Chicago Bears defensive back Charles Tillman — by a search panel that included NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, former commissioner Paul Tagliabue, Connie Payton (Walter’s widow), Pro Football Hall of Famers Frank Gifford and Anthony Munoz, executive director of the NFL Alumni Association George Martin, 2010 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Madieu Williams (Maryland), and Sports Illustrated writer Peter King.

One player who may not be back next season is G Ben Grubbs. Bisciotti and Newsome weren’t very optimistic about the idea of retaining Grubbs and even said that they ”could make no guarantees” about him returning next season, via the Baltimore Sun. Baltimore has a number of key free agents to address and last year they re-signed G Marshal Yanda to a pretty sizable contract which makes it very unlikely that they’ll be able to do the same for Grubbs this season. He will certainly find a lot interest on the open market and Cowboys have already been reported to be considering upgrades at the position.

The Ravens’ hope is to get Rice signed to a new long-term contract in the next few months, before the team has to use the franchise tag. “We would like to have a deal done with Ray before we get have to put the tag on him,” General Manager Ozzie Newsome said Wednesday at the team’s season-ending press conference. The Ravens can start negotiating a new deal with Rice at any point, but if they aren’t able to agree to new contract terms with him, then the franchise tag will be put to use. “Ray is an unrestricted free agent, so obviously the franchise mechanism has to come into play,” team Owner Steve Bisciotti said.

And like everyone else, I feel like I have something to build on for next year.” Williams had the least productive season of his career in 2011, running 108 times for just 444 yards and two touchdowns. But he’s comfortable in Baltimore, easing into a backup role behind Ray Rice in his later years. “For me, the opportunities to be a featured back are not as much,” he said. “But the opportunity to play and that someone wants me, it’s a big deal at this point.” Williams has played 11 seasons in the NFL split between New Orleans, Miami and Baltimore. He has 10,009 career rushing yards and 66 touchdowns to his name. Source: Sports Illustrated (http://tracking.si.com/2012/01/30/ricky-williams-plans-to-return-to-baltimore-ravens-in-2012/)

The Ravens announced last week that Cam Cameron would return as offensive coordinator, but they still need a quarterbacks coach for Joe Flacco. Caldwell now appears to be the choice. Caldwell had visited Pittsburgh this past weekend. The Steelers are looking to replace Bruce Arians, who retired as offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh before taking the same position with the Colts.

Brown said the information on the scoreboard was incorrect during Baltimore’s final drive, saying it was third down when Baltimore was actually facing fourth down prior to Cundiff’s game-tying field goal attempt. While Ravens players and officials have said the wrong information was on the scoreboard, no one had suggested that it was a nefarious move on the part of the Patriots until Brown hinted there was something else going on. Speaking with 94 WIP Radio in Philadelphia, Brown was asked if the Patriots did it purposefully in hopes of gaining an advantage, Brown replied, “I don’t think you can rule anything out in New England, can you?” As a result of the confusion, Cundiff rushed onto the field for a 32-yard field goal that would have tied the game with less than a minute to go, but missed badly.
