Huff was originally drafted with the seventh-overall pick in 2006 and has missed just four games as a professional. He tallied 56 tackles, 13 passes defensed and two interceptions last year in Oakland. Huff’s best season came in 2010, when he amassed 94 tackles, seven passes defensed, four sacks and three interceptions.
This signing will help fill the void left by departing safety Ed Reed, who signed with the Texans last week.
Baltimore has been working on building its defense back up after a number of defections this offseason. Paul Kruger, Dannell Ellerbe, Ray Lewis and Bernard Pollard are among those gone from the 2012 squad. The Ravens have since signed Elvis Dumervil to reload the linebacking corps.
