In this past week, the Ravens' roster has witnessed a few changes mostly for the better depending on who you talk to.
The most notable change is the signing of veteran wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh after his release from the Seattle Seahawks. This transaction came only hours after the news came out that the Ravens' 2005 first round pick Mark Clayton was traded to the St. Louis Rams for a sixth round pick and Demetrius Williams was released. These moves transformed the receiving core from a group fused with both young and old talent to an experience dominated core.
Besides the age difference between Houshmandzadeh and Clayton, the Ravens actually got the better end of the stick. Houshmandzadeh, standing at six feet, two inches, has recorded 171 catches in the last two seasons one as a Cincinnati Bengal and one as a Seattle Seahawk.
Quarterback Troy Smith was also let go by his only team but has quickly landed on his feat becoming an San Francisco 49er on Sunday.
One day after Prince Miller made the final roster he was waived and is now heading to New England to join the Patriots.
Sergio Kindle is hopeful he can make a return to the roster by the end of the regular season. A neurologist is tracking his progress to make sure he is fully recovered before he sets foot on a field, practice or game field.
All of this movement came about a week before the Ravens are set to open their season versus the New York Jets on ESPN's Monday Night Football.
