Ravens signed FS Michael Huff to a three-year, $6 million contract.
The highly athletic Huff was forced to play corner for the talent-depraved Raiders last season, but he'll replace Ed Reed at free safety with the Ravens. It's yet another shrewd signing from GM Ozzie Newsome as he rebuilds his defense. Huff is five years younger than Reed, has missed just four games in his seven-year career and his average annual salary is $3M cheaper. Thanks in large part to this week's additions of Huff and Elvis Dumervil, the Ravens are a good bet to improve -- likely significantly -- on last year's 17th-ranked defense. Mar 27 - 12:28 PM

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Free agent DB Michael Huff has scheduled a visit with the Packers.

Huff had a "nice visit" in Dallas, but is going forward with planned trips to the Ravens and Green Bay. Per ESPN Dallas, Huff isn't sure he can wait for the Cowboys to "get their salary-cap situation straight." It sounds like he'll have a new home by the end of the week.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Free agent DB Michael Huff had a "nice visit" with the Cowboys, but is unsure if he can wait for them to "get their salary-cap situation straight."

That would imply Huff has another offer on the table. The Cowboys currently have little more than $100,000 in cap room, but are expected to clear more space in the coming days. Huff will meet with the Ravens this week, and has been in touch with the Packers and Titans.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Free agent DB Michael Huff is still scheduled to visit the Ravens.

Huff is meeting with the Cowboys on Monday, but is expected to escape without a contract because of their salary-cap situation. He'll visit Baltimore "later this week." Huff would be part of the Ravens' Ed Reed replacement plan.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

The Cowboys are hosting free agent DB Michael Huff for a visit on Monday.

Huff joins LB Justin Durant and S Will Allen in checking out North Texas on Monday. The Cowboys are looking at Huff as a safety. A signing couldn't be made until Big D reaches a long-term agreement with Tony Romo or Anthony Spencer, as it has just $102,000 in cap space at the moment.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

The Ravens are expected to meet with free agent DB Michael Huff "within the next five days."

The Ravens, Packers, Cowboys and Titans have all reportedly "reached out" to Huff since his March 12 release, but Baltimore would be his first known visit. Huff would have a real chance to start at safety for the Ravens after injuries forced him to make 14 appearances at cornerback for the Raiders last season.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

The Ravens, Packers, Cowboys, and Titans have reportedly all reached out to free agent DB Michael Huff since his March 12 release.

Baltimore may be particularly interested in Huff; the Ravens currently have no viable Week 1 starting safeties on their roster and GM Ozzie Newsome loved Huff coming out of Texas in 2006. Huff turned 30 years old earlier this month.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Raiders released DB Michael Huff.

The versatile defensive back was owed $4 million in base salary, plus a $4 million roster bonus. Parked at corner last season, he was shifting back to safety in 2013. Corners make more money, but we'd assume Huff will shop himself as a safety, with his versatility being a plus. He's one of the league's better pure cover men in center field. Meanwhile, Oakland is going to be historically bad in 2013.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Raiders coach Dennis Allen confirmed that Michael Huff will stay at safety moving forward.

Huff was forced to make fourteen 2012 starts at cornerback due to Oakland's shortage at the position, but he's moving back to free safety for 2013. "At the end of the day, his natural fit is at safety," opined Allen. "But I think he’ll do anything we need him to do to give us a chance to be successful."

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Raiders DBs Michael Huff (wrist) and Mike Mitchell (neck) left Thursday night's game against the Broncos in the first half.

Huff, who has been playing mainly cornerback this season, was thought to have been benched for ineffectiveness, but that's not the case apparently. Mitchell was in the game for SS Tyvon Branch, who left with an ankle injury. Oakland possesses the most banged-up secondary in the league.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie says DB Michael Huff's future is "definitely" at safety, and not cornerback.

Huff has been mostly playing corner since September, but he'll apparently be shifted back to safety in 2012. Huff signed a four-year, $32 million deal as a safety in July 2011. He has no guaranteed money remaining beyond this season, however. Huff has held his own at corner in the absence of Ron Bartell.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Michael Huff will remain at cornerback for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

With Ronald Bartell (shoulder) expected to return this week, there was speculation that Huff could be moved back to safety. However, it sounds like the Raiders will go with Huff and Bartell as their starting corners. Pat Lee will be demoted from the starting lineup.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

The Raiders have temporarily moved Michael Huff to left cornerback.

Huff has been a free safety throughout his career, but injuries to Shawntae Spencer and Ronald Bartell have the Raiders scrambling. It's a secondary for fantasy owners to attack weekly. Ben Roethlisberger went off for 384 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions on Sunday.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

Raiders FS Michael Huff is seeing snaps at cornerback in this week's practices.

Former coach Hue Jackson toyed with moving Huff back to his college position before his firing. The move speaks to how far Huff's play has slipped at safety, and just how banged up the Raiders are at cornerback.

Michael Huff - DB - Ravens

The Raiders have restructured FS Michael Huff and DT Richard Seymour's contracts to clear nearly $12 million in salary cap space.

Seymour's deal was overhauled, essentially giving him a brand new five-year, $37.5 million contract that is unlikely to last beyond 2012. (His salary shoots from $925,000 in 2012 to $7.5 million in 2013.) Huff morphed his $8 million in 2012 salary and roster bonus into a base salary of $700,000 plus a "signing" bonus of $7.3 million. Both players will be with the Raiders in 2012.
