Ravens franchise Freddie Odom

Off-Season 2215 (Baltimore) - The Ravens officially assigned the franchise tag to newly acquired DT Freddie Odom on Saturday, keeping him with the team for the rest of his career.

“The tag allows us to secure Freddie as a Raven right now,” stated General Manager Dan Kimball. “As we have said when we traded for him, our intention is to have him anchor our defense for a long long time. We want him to be a Raven.”

The Ravens have consistently expressed their desire to lock up the 6-foot-4, 340-pounder long-term. Odom expected to really come into his own, continuing his dominance in stopping the run while developing into a pass-rushing threat.
