Make Your Ravens Offseason Plans...

May 22-24, May 29-31, June 4-7: The Ravens will hold a series of three-day organized team activities (OTAs), which are voluntary. Even though they are voluntary, the OTAs are often well attended by the veterans.

In between the OTAs, the offseason conditioning program and rookie football schools will continue throughout May and June, so players will still be in the team’s facility for much of that time. 

June 12-14: The Ravens will hold a mandatory three-day minicamp for the entire team.  This is the first offseason activity veterans are required to attend.

July 16: 4 p.m. is the deadline for franchise players to sign their tenders before the 2012 season. That means that running back Ray Rice and the Ravens need to work out a long-term deal by this date or he will have to the play the entire season under the one-year franchise tag. With a number of franchise players around the league still not signed, expect this to be a busy day in the NFL.

July 21: Training camp is tentatively scheduled to open this weekend, with rookies, quarterbacks and injured players reporting for their first practice. Training camp will be held at the team’s facility in Owings Mills.

July 25: Training camp opens for the entire team, as the remaining veterans are scheduled to arrive on this date. The first full team practice will take play on July 26.

Aug. 4: The Ravens will hold an open practice for fans at M&T Bank Stadium. The event is free and open to the public.

Aug. 19: The Ravens will hold an open practice at Stevenson University Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills. This event is also free, but tickets will be required to attend.
