On Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens announced the signing of cornerback Rock Ya-Sin. According to ESPNis it a one-year deal worth up to $6 million.
Ya-Sin was the No. 1 cornerback for the Las Vegas Raiders last season, his first year with the team. The 26-year-old played in 11 games in 2022, nine of which he started. He was targeted 69 times as a defender with 42 completions when attacked, with a completion percentage allowed on targets of 60.9%. He also recorded a total of 45 tackles on seven passes defensed.
In four years in the NFL, Ya-Sin has played in 52 games with 38 starts, two interceptions and 27 passes.
Ya-Sin began his career with the Indianapolis Colts, who drafted him in the second round (No. 34 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.
The signing of Ya-Sin means the Ravens are unlikely to re-sign 30-year-old Marcus Peters, who started 36 games in Baltimore over the past two seasons, but is currently a free agent. Ya-Sin will start in 2023 opposite cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
