Hours after agreeing to a two-year deal to bring back veteran Chris Canty, the Ravens added further depth to their defensive line by re-signing defensive end Lawrence Guy to a two-year contract.
The 25-year-old was acquired off waivers from the San Diego Chargers early last season and appeared in 11 games, collecting 16 tackles, a pass breakup, and a fumble recovery. Guy surpassed DeAngelo Tyson on the depth chart to emerge as the primary reserve behind Canty at the 5-technique spot in the second half of last season.
With young defensive ends Brent Urban and Kapron Lewis-Moore both coming back from serious injuries, the Ravens now have plenty of veteran depth to act as insurance as they revamp a defensive line that no longer includes five-time Pro Bowl selection Haloti Ngata.
In his NFL career, the 6-foot-4, 318-pound Guy has totaled 54 tackles, one sack, five pass breakups, and one fumble recovery in 35 games split among Baltimore, San Diego, and Indianapolis.

Right Now in Baltimore
Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event
They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.
Running back Tampa 25 years later with Ravens RB coach Matt Simon
These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field
Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
