Wide receiver Kelley Washington, who tried out for the Ravens last weekend, has agreed to a contract with the Ravens, his agent said Wednesday. The contract is believed to be a one-year deal for the veteran minimum. Washington competed with Jerry Porter and Tab Perry in mini-camp last weekend, and he appeared to have the best showing, hauling in a diving catch and collecting a touchdown pass from quarterback Troy Smith.
“I think he’s extremely excited about the opportunity,” said Washington’s agent, Chad Speck. “He grew up in Stephens City, Va., which is just a couple hours down the road. So it kind of feels like he’s getting to come home to play as well as come into a situation where it’s a really good football team with a great young quarterback and a team that obviously had a lot of success. So he’s excited about the opportunity to come in and compete and hopefully earn some playing time as well as help the team win games.”
