With organized team activities set to begin next month, the Ravens officially announced jersey numbers for one of their more decorated groups of free-agent newcomers in recent years.
As he did for nine seasons in San Diego, veteran safety Eric Weddle will wear No. 32 as he leads the Baltimore secondary this fall. The Ravens hope the three-time Pro Bowl selection will finally bring stability to a position lacking in that department since the departure of Ed Reed after the 2012 season.
Speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace will wear No. 12 as second-year receiver and tight end Darren Waller has switched to No. 84. Tight end Benjamin Watson will wear No. 82, the same number with New Orleans over the last three seasons.
Attempting a comeback after sitting out the 2015 season, 2012 first-round running back Trent Richardson will wear No. 33, which was last worn by former Ravens safety Will Hill.
Below are other Ravens players who have changed their jersey numbers from last season:
WR Chris Matthews — No. 13 (previously 84)
WR Kaelin Clay — No. 16 (previously 81)
CB Sheldon Price — No. 27 (previously 32)
RB Terrance West — No. 28 (previously 27)
TE Konrad Reuland — No. 85 (previously 86)
TE Nick Boyle — No. 86 (previously 82)
