Free-agent safety Tony Jefferson signed a four-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens March 9, leaving the Arizona Cardinals to join safety Eric Weddle along the back end of the Ravens' secondary.

A product of the University of Oklahoma, Jefferson had perhaps his two best seasons as a Sooner during his freshmen and sophomore years, combining for 6.5 sacks, 14.5 tackles for loss and six interceptions. He was named Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2010.
