Pending the passing of a physical, the Baltimore Ravens have acquired G/C Jeremy Zuttah from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for a 2015 draft choice, Ravens general manager/executive vice president Ozzie Newsome announced Sunday.
A six-year veteran who has played his entire career with the Buccaneers, Zuttah has seen action in 90 games, making 76 starts. The 6-4, 308-pounder has started 30 games at center, 41 at left guard and five at right guard since being selected out of Rutgers in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
"We said at the beginning of the offseason that we would be adding quality players to our line, and Jeremy fits that description," Newsome stated. "We are getting a player who has started at both center and guard and played well at each position. We're excited to have him as a Raven and believe he can play a significant role for us."
During the 2013 season, Zuttah played in all 16 games, starting 14 at center and two at left guard.
"The past six years in Tampa Bay have been great for me, but now I'm looking forward to joining the Ravens and helping them win another championship," Zuttah said.
