Ravens: Madden 2004

Re: Ravens: Madden 2004

M&T Bank Stadium no more!
M&T Bank, the official sponsor of the stadium decided not to renew their contract with the Ravens this year. Ravens Public Relations spokesperson Andrea Hull said that it was a "..mutual decision between the Ravens and M&T Bank." However, it did not take long for the Ravens to find a new sponsor for the rights to the stadium name. The new sponsor will be "Rocket Riders," an engineering firm based in Rockville, Maryland will buy the rights to the name for 2 years as well as pay the Ravens 1.7 million dollars each season if they win 8 games or make the playoffs.



The Ravens also hired a new training staff, South side gurus to a 3 year 2.42 million dollar deal. They have the reputation for being the best rehabilitation center in the Mid-Atlantic.

Re: Ravens: Madden 2004

Free Agency
The Ravens picked up the prize in this year's free agent draft by signing former NY Giants WR Amani Toomer to a 4 year 22.45 million dollar deal with a 6.68 million dollar signing bonus. Toomer finished second on the Giants with 69 receptions and led the team with 925 yards. More importantly than those numbers was the fact he only dropped 3 passes last year. Coach Linehan said "He immediately brings a deep threat to our team, something we lacked last year. But more importantly, he brings soft hands and should help out in the dropped passes department. The Ravens also signed free agent QB Shane Matthews to a 3 year 6.25 million dollar contract. He will be 3rd string behind Boller and Redman. "He brings a veteran presence in our QB department," said Linehan, "hopefully, our two young QB's can learn from his experience."
