J.O.
Ravens left offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden promised and he delivered. He said he would make a decision about retiring before the draft, and last night told The Sun even before he spoke with the Ravens. Ogden said he will return for at least another season, and that's great news for the Ravens. Instead of entering the 2007 season with two question marks at the tackle positions, the Ravens only have to worry about third-year right tackle Adam Terry. Ogden played extremely well last season, and his return definitely puts the Ravens back in the position to challenge for a title.
"I'm very happy," said Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome. "He played extremely well last year. He still has a thirst for another championship as well as I and the rest of his teammates. I'm happy he is going to continue his career as a Raven."

Excellent! Great news about JO's return. Hey-- it looks like JO gave Billick some good info regarding his status earlier this offseason. Some in the Baltimore media... doubted Billick and his ability to connect with JO...

You had to believe he was going to return after waiting so long to give his notice. He told Ozzie that he was going to give him an answer before the draft, but J.O. knows how much time and planning is put into the draft to spring the retirement on them last minute.
