The Facts:
During a press conference Wednesday to announce
his new five-year contract, TE Dennis Pitta said that he has talked with Flacco about organizing workouts with him and some of the other receivers. “We’ve talked about it, and nothing is set in stone right now, but I know that’s something Joe wants to get done,” Pitta said.

The Ravens begin their voluntary offseason conditioning next month, and then the organized team activities (OTAs) typically take place starting in May. Several key players – Flacco, Terrell Suggs and RB Ray Rice – have already indicated to HC John Harbaugh that they plan on participating in OTAs. But nobody would complain if Flacco and his receivers get a jump on things by holding some workouts of their own. This is an offseason of transition for the Ravens, as new coordinator Gary Kubiak has worked to build an offensive staff and install the playbook. The playbook was completed after the NFL Scouting Combine last month, and the next step was to get it in Flacco’s hands so he could start to master it. “Joe can take it and run with it and prepare for the OTAs,” Harbaugh said. Getting together with the receivers could help the unit get into rhythm after Flacco threw a career-high 22 interceptions last season. He never seemed to get fully in sync with the receiving corps after Pitta’s injury and Anquan Boldin’s departure.
