Familliar Faces Back in Baltimore

The Baltimore Ravens brought back a pair of familiar faces Tuesday, re-signing cornerback Samari Rolle and backup quarterback Todd Bouman. Rolle signed a four-year contract. Bouman's deal was for one year. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Rolle was released last month, but it was made clear that the possibility of him returning to the Ravens.
"Samari is a proven, quality veteran corner," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. "Even more than that, he is a quality person. We upgraded our football team."
Rolle, 32, spent the last four seasons with Baltimore, starting 47 games despite injuries and illness. An 11-year veteran, Rolle played in just six games in 2007 due to an adverse reaction to epilepsy medication. He also was limited to 10 games last season because of neck and shoulder injuries.
Bouman spent last season with Baltimore as a backup to rookie quarterback Joe Flacco. He has started six of 42 career games, completing 129-of-230 passes for 1,683 yards and 11 touchdowns.
