After re-signing with the Baltimore Ravens Feb. 6, offensive lineman Andre Smith is excited to return to a winning culture and organization.
Smith, an 11-year veteran in the NFL, originally signed with the Ravens Jan. 8 after being cut by the Cincinnati Bengals, but the Ravens’ winning tradition made it a no-brainer to stay in Baltimore on a one-year deal.
“I’ve been around the league and been on a few teams, different organizations and just to see a team all about football and all about winning is [great to see],” Smith said on Glenn Clark Radio Feb. 11. “It’s great to see the culture they’ve built in the locker room and the building as well.”
James Urban, the quarterbacks coach for the Ravens, spent six years in Cincinnati from 2011-2017 as the Bengals’ wide receivers coach before joining Baltimore in 2018. After Smith was released by the Bengals in late November, Urban encouraged the longtime right tackle to sign with the Ravens.
