Clausen was claimed off waivers by the Ravens on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Released by the Bears just a day earlier, Clausen quickly found a favorable landing spot, with the Ravens needing a backup to Matt Schaub. Given Schaub's propensity for meltdowns, it won't be at all surprising if Clausen gets playing time before the end of the season. There's still no upside to speak of, as Clausen has been consistently bad during his NFL career and the Baltimore offense has been decimated by injuries. Clausen has experience working with Ravens offensive coordinator Marc Trestman from their time together in Chicago.
