The Ravens also signed four exclusive rights free agents Monday as the voluntary offseason program began. Quarterback Tyler Huntley, center Trystan Colon, linebacker Kristian Welch and long snapper Nick Moore are now under contract.

Huntley made four starts last season in relief of Lamar Jackson and showed he’s capable of winning if called upon. Huntley completed 65% of his passes for 1,081 yards and three touchdowns with four interceptions. He also ran for 294 yards and two scores.

Colon will compete with Patrick Mekari to be the starting center that replaces Bradley Bozeman. Welch could have a bigger defensive role this season after Chris Board departed in free agency. Moore had a strong first season as the Ravens’ full-time snapper.
