Report: Snead signing offer sheet with Ravens, Saints have 5 days to match

The Baltimore Ravens are coming up with creative ways to improve their receiving corps.

The Ravens will sign New Orleans Saints wideout Willie Snead to a two-year offer sheet worth up to $10.4 million on Friday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Saints will have five days to match it and retain Snead's services.

Baltimore's been busy this offseason. The Ravens signed Michael Crabtree, reached an agreement with Ryan Grant and then pulled out, added John Brown, released Jeremy Maclin, worked out Michael Floyd, and have reportedly showed interest in free agent Dez Bryant.

The Saints aren't expected to match the offer sheet for Snead, Schefter reports. New Orleans used the same mechanism to poach Cameron Meredith from the Chicago Bears last week.

Snead was suspended for the first three games of last season for a substance abuse violation and battled injuries to appear in 11 games, registering just eight catches for 92 yards. He recorded a career-best 984 receiving yards in his 2015 rookie season.
