Ravens: The waiting really is the hardest part
The Ravens originally were scheduled to take the field at The Castle at 1:30 for today's first full-squad practice, but the process of recertifying the players union and voting to approve the new collective bargaining agreement has dragged into the afternoon.
Looks like practice will start after 4 p.m. and end sometime before dark. Don't know why you would care one way or the other -- since there is no public access to practice until Saturday's workout at M&T Bank Stadium -- but I just thought I'd give you an update.
When the CBA is finalized, all of the players who signed free agent contracts will be able to start practicing. The rookies and players already under contract have been on the field for a week.
The only news so far today is the signing of safety Bernard Pollard, who agreed to a two-year deal, but that was no surprise after Pollard tipped off a Houston radio station on Wednesday.

Hello, Peter, sorry that I haven't written in awhile. Do you know if there will be draft pick compensation next year for free agents lost?
