DT McCoy concludes visit with Ravens
All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy has concluded a two-day visit with the Baltimore Ravens, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the two sides will try to negotiate a potential contract. McCoy visited the Cleveland Browns last week, days after his release by the Tampa Buccaneers.
If neither AFC North team can come to contract terms with McCoy, the 31-year-old defensive tackle could visit a third team, Rapoport said. The team at the top of the list is believed to be the Carolina Panthers. McCoy, the third overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, was released by the Buccaneers on May 20 with three years left on his contract. The deal called for him to make $13 million in base pay this season. The original contract was for six years and $95.2 million.
The Tampa Bay Times reported McCoy has drawn offers from 10 teams with offers as high as $11 million annually. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said recently he'd be interested in adding McCoy to the roster.
"I think a guy with his ability could come in and help most certainly," Rivera told reporters. McCoy has 296 tackles, 54.5 sacks, 140 quarterback hits, six forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 123 career games. He has been selected to six Pro Bowls and was first-team All-Pro in 2013.
