Free agent wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery will not be signing with the Baltimore Ravens, Jamison Hensley of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Cotchery, who was released last week by the New York Jets, visited the Ravens on Tuesday, but left without a contract. The Jets cited a failed physical in releasing Cotchery, who underwent back surgery in February, but Hensley reports there were no problems with his medical check by the Ravens.
During his seven-year career with the Jets, the former North Carolina State standout caught 358 passes for 4,514 yards and 18 touchdowns. After the Jets signed Plaxico Burress, Cotchery and his $1.8 million base salary were released.
The Jets used that roster spot to sign veteran wide receiver Derrick Mason, who spent the previous six seasons with the Ravens.
With the departures of Mason, T.J. Houshmanzadeh and tight end Todd Heap, the Ravens do not have many experienced veterans to catch passes from Joe Flacco. 30-year-old Anquan Boldin is joined by 2011 second-round pick Torrey Smith atop the receivers depth chart, while 2010 draft choices Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta are the top two tight ends on the roster.
