In Maryland, Bill Wagner cited sources as saying that Ravens WR and former Navy QB Keenan Reynolds "likely will sign a promotional contract with Under Armour," as the company "is very interested in having Reynolds perform promotional work." A contract "could be announced soon." Last week, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus' office issued a statement saying Mabus "has submitted a request that Reynolds be allowed to play in the NFL next season if he makes the team, and satisfy his commissioned service obligation in the Ready Reserve." Reynolds is "one of only a few members" of the Ravens' Draft class who "have not yet signed with the team." Reynolds' agent, ESQ's Che Mock, said that the uncertainty of the rookie's availability in '16 "had held up contract talks" (Annapolis CAPITAL GAZETTE, 5/18).
